Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:

Not all Men are evil

Everyone has the capacity for evil

Transgender Men are men

Transgender Women are women

Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)

Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement

Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators

Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

alancummingreally I wore this suit to the Met gala centuries ago in protest at being told to shut up and keep out of politics during the Iraq war, but I think today its message is even more prescient and vital.

The quote is by the great Audre Lord and the suit was designed by Stephen Cirona.

Hello hi excuse me. How does one get to know blaseball? I get it was a game, but I'm intrigued and want to know more.

!!!! hi!! so blaseball itself ended a while ago and nothing can really replicate the live experience, but there are many good resources for learning about it!

this people make games video is a good intro to it

blaseball blexplained has videos explaining teams, plot, and game mechanics, as well as recaps for each season

there’s also the blaseball roundup, which is a series of official recaps done by the anchor, a character within blaseball. these are probably more confusing if you don’t know much about blaseball, but they’re still worth a watch if only for the vibes and anchor lore

the blaseball wiki has tons of info on each season, as well as lore created by fans about the teams and players

sibr has tons of tools for blaseball, but the one I recommend the most is before, which allows you to view the site from any time within s2-s24 as if it were live. this is probably the closest you can get to experiencing what blaseball was like live

the garages are a fanmade band with hundreds of songs about blaseball. it has so many members and covers so many different genres that I can pretty much guarantee you’ll find something you like lmao

I hope this is helpful and you have fun learning about blaseball!! it really was an Experience Of All Time and I don’t think I will ever experience anything quite like it again. if you have any questions at all, feel free to ask in the blaseball tag! (you can also ask me specifically but it’s kind of impossible for one person to know everything there is to know about blaseball, so it’s probably better to get more perspectives) blaseball fans love explaining blaseball so your questions would be welcomed with much excitement

I miss blaseball. It's hard to explain, but this is a good list of resources to try and understand it.

Opinion | The oppressive goal at the top of Speaker Mike Johnson’s to-do list

Making Democrats look bad by defending trans women — or look bad by not defending trans women — isn’t Republicans’ end goal here.

OPINION: The time to demand legislators stand up for trans rights is now

Usually I provide alternate means, but y'all, call at 2 am if you don't want to talk to a person, but this time, we need you to actually physically call. This one isn't email priority. It's please fucking call your Senators priority. I have been clear about not being alarmist, so let me say that this is one that we need to defeat. If your Senator is already firmly in the "no" camp, like mine, who introduced bills to make Bostock law, encourage them to be loud/louder about their no.

The head of the NCAA, which has about 500K athletes, said maybe five are trans people.

This is why I get so tired about “whose a real women” and “are transgender people real” and the like because it’s so irrelevant. We have group or people that have an insane suicide rate and we have a solution that reduces that by an insane amount.

No matter how you slice it no theoretical reason nor gender rhetoric can change the gender affirming care is improving more lives than it’ll ever hurt

[aster-is-confused]

i think this belongs here too

all the statistics are massively in favor of gender affirming care no matter how you slice it.

“Artificial intelligence is a label for the marketing team. It reminds people of their favorite science-fiction stories—evokes wonder. It’s a buzzword to pump up the stock price. None of that is real, and none of this is intelligent.

You cannot hide this in the tags, bestie. This is too lovely to keep a secret.
