where’s that article by james frankie thomas where he says like “prior to my transition there was only one kind of sex i wanted to have. and i thought i could never have it” because i am about to blow these people’s minds

i found it 😌 the article was published on Slate and here’s JF’s commentary on it

i have gotten some very odd anons about this post that i’m choosing to ignore. but i am going to double down on this. no i don’t care if girls watch gay porn or imagine themselves as a gay person or wonder what it would be like to have gay sex. so many people imprison themselves by thinking they could never be gay and/or trans. well i’m telling them they better watch out. being gay and/or trans is real. and it could happen to YOU. as a matter of fact i sincerely hope it does

#tbh i think the intense stigma against “straight” ppl “fetishizing” queerness keeps a lot of ppl in the closet

#theres no harm in exploring those feelings in private. indulge in the fantasy and see where it takes u

#dont be a creep to other ppl obv but that goes w/o saying #if id had the courage to confront the ache id feel when i thought abt lesbian sex and how id “never be able to have it” earlier

#it wouldve saved me a lot of time

February 4, 2026 - Six Palestine Action activists who broke into an Israeli arms factory in the UK have been acquitted or not convicted of all charges against them.

Campaigners told The Electronic Intifada on Wednesday that the result was a “monumental” and “total” victory.

After eight days of deliberation in January and February, the jury either acquitted or refused to convict Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner, Leona Kamio, Fatema Zainab Rajwani, Zoe Rogers and Jordan Devlin of all charges.

Five out of the six were released on bail Wednesday evening. All six were found not guilty of aggravated burglary, the most serious charge which could have led to life sentences.

The six activists were arrested on site in August 2024 and held on remand for 17 months.

They were the first of a total of 24 defendants to face trials relating to the invasion and smashing of a factory in Filton, near Bristol in the west of England, owned by a subsidiary of Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer.

The group of 24 includes some of the prisoners who recently went on a hunger strike.

Once inside, the group destroyed Israeli quadcopter drones, which have been used frequently to massacre Palestinians in Gaza.

During the trial, acquitted defendant Fatema Zainab Rajwani was open that, “I damaged drones which is what I went in to do.” She commented on video footage shown to the court, saying, “That is me dismantling a quadcopter drone with a crowbar,” and explaining that the group wanted to “document the presence of quadcopters and [Elbit’s] crimes.”

Fourteen other defendants were rounded up by Britain’s feared Counter Terrorism Police, in a series of violent pre-dawn raids in November 2024 and July last year.

A Palestine Action source told The Electronic Intifada on Wednesday that the remaining Filton 24 prisoners will now appeal to be released on bail.

Such prisoners can usually be held on remand before trial for up to six months. But the politicization and fallacious government “terrorism” campaign against the group – in connivance with Israel – meant that the campaigners have been held on remand for as long as 17 months.

In addition to beating the most serious charge, the jury acquitted Fatema Zainab Rajwani, Zoe Rogers and Jordan Devlin of violent disorder. It refused to convict Charlotte Head, Samuel Corner and Leona Kamio of the same charge.

Samuel Corner was also not convicted of “grievous bodily harm with intent” for allegedly striking a police officer.

Crucially, the jury refused to convict any of the defendants of criminal damage.

Yet five of the group had admitted in court to destroying Israeli weapons and equipment belonging to Elbit at the factory. [link]

if the Black Panthers were reading theory with people who the white supremacist state attempted to keep illiterate, I think theory is a lot more accessible than some folks would have you believe

girlfailure-poetics

libs will get online and say “leftists are classist for expecting people to read theory. obviously poor people are too stupid to read it” and sincerely think theyre woke

For decades, [we] prospered under what we called the rules-based international order. We joined its institutions, we praised its principles, we benefited from its predictability. And because of that, we could pursue values-based foreign policies under its protection. We knew the story of the international rules-based order was partially false that the strongest would exempt themselves when convenient, that trade rules were enforced asymmetrically. And we knew that international law applied with varying rigour depending on the identity of the accused or the victim. This fiction was useful, and American hegemony, in particular, helped provide public goods, open sea lanes, a stable financial system, collective security and support for frameworks for resolving disputes. So, we placed the sign in the window. We participated in the rituals, and we largely avoided calling out the gaps between rhetoric and reality. This bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition.

COVID has killed more people in the US in 5 years than HIV has killed since 1981, and you still can't get queer people to wear a goddamn mask at community events.

I refuse to believe that it's because you don't care.

I think it's because you're afraid to care.

You'd have to acknowledge that it is that bad, that you and everyone you love could wind up permanently disabled or dead at any time, and that all of our lives have been permanently changed by going through a(nother) mass traumatizing event.

covid-safer-hotties

Covid caution is intersectional praxis in action. Acting like covid is over just serves the status quo. Make the right choice. Stand by your politics instead of for nothing.

one thing i am quite grateful to Brian David Gilbert for is the phrase "If you needed ME to tell you that... I'm glad I told you that."

it has been etched into my brain for the past six years, fundamentally altering how i consider knowledge gaps held by others, as well as myself. people usually need to be told stuff before they can know it! that's how knowing stuff works! this is an extreme example played for laughs but it's a legitimately helpful philosophy!!

every day this site feels more and more hostile to be on as a racialized person

reddbuster

this used to be a place where I talked about my interests. I used to blog about the tv shows and books and video games I liked alongside my politics. But now it feels like 90% of what I post is about racism because this site is so fucking racist and so overwhelmingly white that I’ve had to become primarily a political blog out of necessity. I’ve seen the same thing happen to countless Black and Brown ppl I’ve followed over the years and it makes me sick to think about. not because I don’t want to speak about political/social issues or because I don’t think it’s important to do so; if I had a choice in the matter this would still be an overtly political blog and I would still be speaking out about the issues that matter to me. But so many white users are out here posting exclusively about fandom or art or music or photography or whatever else they’re passionate about, whereas if you’re openly Black or Brown on the internet you literally do not get that option because you will inevitably get swathes of white people coming to you and demanding you justify your existence to them. And I think that sucks

reddbuster

While this post is primarily about racism I’ve seen this happen time and time again to trans women as well, racialized or otherwise. I have transfem friends and mutuals I met in fan spaces as a teenager who now post primarily about transmisogyny, because it’s just so incredibly pervasive that they’re forced to spend basically all of their time on the internet advocating for their right to exist as trans women instead of having fun engaging with the things they love

I suddenly understand why jewelry is expensive

pwntishness

Hopefully people will start to realize why trades in general are so expensive. You're paying for someone's experience to make a good finished product that takes skill and years of practice.

However there is also a giant gap that needs to be filled in trades. As people are aging out of jobs like tailors, carpenters, bookbinders, leatherworkers, etc, there aren't enough young people going INTO the trades to repopulate the jobs.

Please. Please. Consider going into trades.

wemblingfool

These are the kinds of jobs people "fall into," because they aren't visible, and are never talked about.

Kids never grow up telling people they want to be a bookbinder. They don't know they even exist. And schools never ever present them as valid options. And if they do talk about them, they are treated as invalid compaired to NFL Linebacker, President, and Brain Surgeon. After all "jewelry maker" is something people do to supplement their "burger flipping" income, and not an extension of blacksmithing.

But that's the crux of it, isn't it? Crafting and trade skills are an extension of artistic skills, which are often seen as completely invalid, and a total waist of time.

As the daughter of a professional bookbinder/book restorer, I had to reblog.

abz-j-harding

reblogging because I was in a course at college that covered Artisan skills such as these. I have friends who have since gone on to do Jewellery, Carpentry, Ceramics, Glasswork AND Blacksmithing. Ironically I ‘fell into’ comics.

windows to Artisan jobs are still around, the rising interest of upcycling and restoration has brought young folk into doing them.

Boosting because Artisan trades should be valued and carried on.

So, if you're not in a techbro-adjacent world you might not know this, but a lot of gamer bros have finally started rebelling against AI. Because they were all waiting for Black Friday sales to get new PC parts, but AI companies are buying up all the PC parts, so they all logged in on Black Friday looking for deals and found everything three times as expensive as it was a few months ago. And I mean everything. It's not just GPUs this time like it was with the crypto miners, it's RAM and SSDs and even fucking HDDs.

You tell a gamer bro he can't get a 1TB SSD for less than 200 smackeroos and he'll be against anything you tell him is to blame.

There's also a large migration of gamers to Linux, which came as a surprise to me when I first learned it because the conventional wisdom for so long had been that you can't game on Linux at all. The release of the Steam Deck changed that narrative overnight, since it runs on a custom Linux distro that Valve made because they don't want to deal with Microsoft's bullshit either. The vast majority of PC games now run just fine on Linux, and the only ones that don't are ones that use a specific form of anti-cheat software (mostly online competetive games, like League of Legends). Even that will probably change in the future, since the migration to Linux will incentivize game companies to do their anti-cheat differently.

Most of the linux distros that people are moving to have no AI features and no intention of including them. And, of course, even if some develop them in the future, the linux community can always be counted on to provide a no-AI alternative. They are extremely protective of their disc space, after all. So there is a real coalition building here, in a population that has a lot of cash to use to lean on the powers that be. I think we have some reason to be optimistic.
