no way to fixate on small bodily details that may reveal someone else as The Enemy without also becoming hyper aware of one’s own sexed body and its ambiguities.

I think it has something to do with the highly paranoiac nature of transphobia! Because they are anxious that they cannot in fact “always tell,” there is a possibility of more trans presence than they can perceive - and because everyone’s gender performance is implicated, it is uniquely deranging.

(There are naturally exceptions for large public events - implicit consent.)

Filming or photographing people without their consent is both illegal and a huge social taboo in Germany and it has become highly jarring to me to see people Making Content on the street in other countries.

They had to go so far to find someone connected with this tragic killing who would blame the mayor (and had to include so many “THIS PERSON IS SYMPATHETIC” buzzwords)

I didn’t sleep enough and first thought this was tiramisu

I think it’s morally bankrupt to build a political faction around the cause of courting tech executives who have become progressively more dependent on fossil capital back into the Democrat Party, then pretend there is some objective reason to be scared of mentioning climate change

the u.s. is bullying other countries into withdrawing from the i.c.c.

every couple days a new guy posts a picture of cooked mushrooms, a description of his cooking methodology, a review of the taste, and then provides updates on how he feels in 15-minute increments.

there are still good things on the internet, even on Facebook: I am part of a group devoted to edible mushrooms. this year a bunch of guys are trying to see if - as the chemistry suggests - properly cooking Chlorophyllum molybdites, aka "The Vomiter," can render it safe for consumption.

I’ll be happy if they get socialized but they are indeed not directly responsible for the shitshow of the last two years (for the most part)

Weeeeeeelllllll I wouldn’t go that far lol they are uniquely powerful political actors that have built a lot of the constraints around action

100%. They all got fucking galaxy brained about “affordability” and talked themselves into doing nothing while also not doing the actual permitting reform that is within their specific power. bsky.app/profile/shay...

The guardrails here have been thoroughly shattered. Unless Dems actually break the back of the GOP in a real way, every single R administration in the future will do the same thing. If you’re an energy developer who can do gas or wind but only wind will be crushed by an election result…

This is why Democrats countering the Trump admin’s aggressive fossil fuel promotion with “we think the government should stop picking favorites” won’t work, because the project is also **realignment of capital behind fossil fuels** and the Pascal’s Wager here preferences fossil fuels.

This feels like part of the same story as the Solar Energy Industries Association picking Tim Pawlenty as their new President and CEO. heatmap.news/energy/clear...

incredible ignorance and racism from various German commentators suggesting that the IS/Daesh has anything to do with the Palestinian cause. can only vaguely hope that this is not a delusion that extends into the actual security apparatus of the state.

In RI, New Bridges for Haitian Success could use donations & possibly other forms of support (i.e. rides, legal help) to sustain people targeted by these operations. www.nb4hs.org Everyone else, repost the quoted post with a local-to-you Haitian org, group, church, etc. that could use $ & hands.

Oh fun fact: the anti-offshore-wind groups with a direct line to the Trump government also have substantial ties to the nuclear industry (e.g. Maureen Koetz an advisor to Green Oceans and similar groups who worked at the Nuclear Energy Institute & repped US nuclear industry at multiple COPs)
