Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).
I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.
out of the tags with you
they're still terming random transfems as i type this i see which does make quite a statement doing this today specifically
watched three girls who reblogged its new blog mutual aidpost (made literally 15 minutes ago) already disappear from its notifs. transfems are not included in their pride :/
QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it
It wouldn't surprise me if this all came down to just one manager who's a transphobe and everyone else just cowardly following along because they like having an income
instead of "manager" try CEO. matt mullenweg had been openly participating in a harassment campaign against a transfem user and after terminating her tumblr, even chased her over to twitter to harass her a bit more there. that was 2 years ago.
since then mass termination and nuking* of transfems' blogs have picked up a lot, and haven't ever stopped. every week there is a mass-banwave, usually hitting transfems for being victims of mass harassment campaigns. some transfems get terminated even more frequently, like every few days to even down to every few hours on some days. the blogs up there in the reblog chain from puppet were all made and terminated within hours of each other.
the transmisogyny comes from the top down AND from the userbase
*nuking here refers to the "higher tier" of termination that retroactively deletes all images and reblogs from that blog off of other people's accounts. amd this one cannot be appealed either
since the old version of this post was flagged for ‘adult content’…
reblog this post if your account is a trans safe space or owned by a trans person!
along with that, reblog if your account is a non-binary spectrum safe space or owned by someone on the nb spectrum!
All kind people are safe here.
Rebloging again because the world sucks and I want to spread a little positivity
This was posted on a ‘second hand finds’ Facebook page…
…only to be followed by this amazing message.
The roller coaster ride started.
With a happy ending…
…and a sweet poem to finish.
I missed Cassie and Tracy's banter <3
Chas and Charity trying to drunkingly breaking into Kim's safe was fun, and so was Gabby's healthy menu test. There needs to more of that. No drama, just people doing fun and stupid things. Especially when it has a drunk Chas and Charity. Also I foresee the Graham-helping-Kyle storyline is going to be Kyle seeing Graham as a father figure, Cain finding out which means more time spent focusing on him being stubborn and prideful and Cain about it.
in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming
that's solidarity baybeeee
Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.
At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.
Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

You ever think about how old people have no idea what “survivor bias” is, and take full credit for being excellent out of things where they lucked out?
“Back in my day we didn’t have any of these childhood protective things, we were smart enough not to do stupid shit on our own!” Except your little neighbour, who got the funniest idea at the age of seven, and got his skull pierced when he slipped?
“Back in my day nobody got divorced, we stuck together and fixed our problems!” What about your cousin, who was slowly killed by her husband because she had nowhere to escape him?
“Back in my day nobody had ‘mental problems’, we didn’t whine, we just toughed it out and endured life!” Hey remember that guy you used to work with, who seemed really friendly and normal, and then suddenly hanged himself ‘for no reason’?
“Back in my day we didn’t have any of this ‘gay’ or ‘transgender’ thing.” You did, but your family cut all ties with her before you were born.
You kinda start seeing it in everything they think, if you start looking for it.
“When we were kids nobody whined about car seats or bike helmets. We didn’t use them, and we all survived!”
Yeah, except for the ones who didn’t.
Friendly reminder as we get closer to the launch of the ModRetro M64. ModRetro is owned by Palmer Lucky, a self described “Radical Zionist” who fundraises for Donald Trump.
Palmer Lucky also has another company, called Anduril Industries, that manufactures and sells AI powered weapons and surveillance systems. ModRetro even sells Anduril branded gameboys that were made from the same metal that they use to manufacture attack drones.
Don’t buy this thing. A 200 dollar Nintendo 64 clone is not worth your soul.
The reason I’m bringing this up now is because there seems to be a new marketing push happening for this device. It’s all over my feed on TT and IG right now.
They seem to be pushing the fact that there are new Nintendo64 games being made for the M64. This is very misleading because any game that runs on the M64 will run on a real Nintendo 64.
There’s also been new games coming out for the Nintendo 64 for years. ModRetro didn’t make this happen. They’re just publishing a few games. The Nintendo 64 Homebrew scene has been thriving on its own.

Thirty-year-old Tamara Rees shows us what trans empowerment looked like in 1954. She fought Nazis, taught parachuting, and traveled the world... but her biggest challenge came when the press learned of her identity.
1950s news coverage of Tamera Rees' transition shows a time before the trans moral panic. Most stories regarded her as brave or heroic for her openness. National newspapers even celebrated her wedding in 1955.
The New York Daily News, which now hosts daily anti-trans editorials, ran a shockingly respectful series on trans people in the 1950s. Tamara Rees's narrative was among the longest and most detailed. She thoughtfully implored the public to respect not only her identity, but also other trans people like her.
Tamara wasn't the first famous trans woman of the 1950s, nor was she the best known. However, she had a unique opportunity to share her own story. You can read Tamara's 1955 autobiography, Reborn: A Factual Life Story of a Transition from Male to Female, at transreads.org/reborn
No-Google (fan)fic writing
After this post about Google automatically enrolling everyone into their AI program (including reading Google docs), I realised that many people may not be aware that there are actually very, very good alternatives to using Google docs – although what they can do for you varies.
So, since I’ve over the years tested quite a lot of different applications for usefulness in writing fanfic, I thought I’d share some of my experiences here. The link list below will be expanded as I continue writing more pieces, so keep checking here.
Part 1: LibreOffice Writer
Part 2: Zettelkasten
Part 3: LaTeχ
Part 4: Markdown
Part 5: Obsidian

Happy Pride 🌈 | The Golden Girls (1985-1992)
if you're currently able to work but have a condition that could worsen and make you unable to work in the future, here are some tips for preparing in case that happens! [U.S.]
understand that what they are looking for is that you cannot maintain full-time work. are you unable to stay on task for 8 hours? do you have to take lots of breaks? do you have to call out multiple times a month? are you inconsistent? the bar may actually be lower than you are expecting, BUT the hard part is proving with documentation that you meet it.
when you see doctors, make sure to include how your condition is limiting you. if you apply for disability, they will look at all your records and what they care about most isn't your diagnosis/symptoms but how they are actually limiting you. if you have this documentation from before you became unable to work, this can strengthen your case.
if you mention things you do, always include how you had to accommodate yourself or the repercussions you had to be able to do them. for them to see "i went to a party over the weekend" comes across differently than "i went to a party over the weekend but i had to sit down most of the time and when i got home i crashed."
be sure to review your doctor's notes in mychart and correct anything that is wrong. your medical record is weighted more than what you say. even if it was your doctor misunderstanding something you said to them, because it's your medical record that would count more than what you tell social security yourself.
keep documentation of work accommodations, absences, write-ups, etc. related to your disability. again this can strengthen your case even if it was before you became unable to work.
keep documentation of what previous jobs and doctors you had because they will ask for this info and it can be hard to remember!
SSI and SSDI are different programs. in short, to qualify for SSDI you have to have a certain number of work credits. SSI is the one you might hear about where they cannot have much income/savings, whereas SSDI is more flexible since you have paid into it with your work taxes. if you have the work credits, don't be scared off by some of what you see about "disability benefits" where they don't specify - check if it applies to SSDI or only SSI.
if you become unable to work, apply as soon as you can. there is backpay but it cuts off at 1 year before your application date.
get a lawyer from the beginning!! you don't need to have money. they are paid a set percentage of what you get awarded if your case is approved. you don't have to pay anything unless you win. there are many ways you can shoot yourself in the foot by answering questions incorrectly. you think you know but you don't 😂 the lawyer understands exactly how to navigate the system and present your case in the best way. don't wait until you are denied to get a lawyer, because now you've already submitted things which harmed your case.
be prepared that it can take a long time, even years for people to get approved. many people go through multiple denials even if they have a strong case. have a plan for how you will get through the wait, and don't give up. ♥
Also an important US healthcare access tool:
Fight Health Insurance is a generative AI tool to help you fight your health insurance denial. Just take a picture of your denial and it wil
Listen: GENERATIVE AI SUCKS, OBVIOUSLY
But the insurance companies are using AI to instantly deny you care and write your denial letters
Sometimes fighting fire with fire works - especially when it's you, your time, and your budget, vs. the unbelievable amounts of money, time, staff, and lawyers that insurance companies have
Anyway it's free for everyone permanently and the source code (? is that still the term with AI??) is available for anyone to fork on Github
Fight Health Insurance uses AI to help you draft health insurance appeal letters. Our AI is a tool to assist you — it is not a replacement for professional medical or legal advice. You should always review and customize any generated appeal before submitting it.
How It Works
When you submit a denial or chat with our system, we use fine-tuned medical language models (like MedGemma) to draft an appeal letter tailored to your situation. We run multiple AI models in parallel. Our system also searches PubMed for relevant medical literature to strengthen your appeal with citations.
Training & Data
We generate synthetic training examples from publicly available state appeal decisions from California, and other states, and use those examples to fine-tune our models. These public decisions describe the diagnosis, treatment, denial reason, and outcome of real appeals, but contain no private patient information. No real patient appeal letters are used in training.
We fine-tune using LoRA (Low-Rank Adaptation), an efficient technique that adapts a small fraction of model parameters while preserving the base model's "knowledge." After fine-tuning, we quantize the models to reduce their size and power consumption while maintaining quality. In general generating an appeal uses less power than playing a video game on a modern PC.
We update which base models we use as better open language models become available.
For more details on how we handle your data, see our Terms of Service. You can also request deletion of your data at any time.
Sustainability
We care about the environmental impact of running AI. A few things we do:
Low-power inference: Our models are quantized so they run on a single GPU, consuming a fraction of the energy that large cloud-hosted models require.
Solar powered when possible: During the day, our inference servers run on solar power. We aim to shift compute to daylight hours when solar generation is available.
Efficient serving: We use vLLM, a high-throughput inference engine that maximizes the work done per watt.

I haven't done a lot of research on them, but I've been following them since they publicly launched, and everything I've seen so far has sounded legit. Allegedly they've generated over 10,000 health insurance appeals
I also like them because of their motto (which you can see in the above screenshot):
Make your health insurance company cry too
I'm fucking here for it
For those who don't know: Ikumi Nakamura is the woman who was senior artist on Bayonetta, and designed the titular character along with Hideki Kamiya. Their greatest moment of bonding was over their insistence that Bayonetta keep her glasses on at all times. Nakamura cannot go to horny jail. She is the warden.
Happy pride month to her and her exclusively
she made a comic about the experience on twitter
happy pride
