Elon Musk announced that he will restrict the term "cisgender" on twitter, declaring it a slur.

This is a recycling of anti-gay tactics, which declared "straight" a slur.

"Cis" has a long history, and I examine it here.

I am literally begging that if you see someone in a mask in a small space with you, instead of saying “do you want me to mask?” Just say “oh let me put a mask on!”

That way it’s courteous and not putting the person masked in a position where they have to say yes

"you can't just kill people" should not be this controversial of a take

Regardless of your gender identity, my hope is that you divest from the cisheteropatriarchy. You can’t win. You will never be man enough or women enough within these systems of oppression. Our nonbinary siblings fiercely remind us of this truth all of the time.

Just read an email from an author announcing her first tour since 2019, and how excited she is that "Covid is completely contained!" and "it is now safe for high risk people to resume speaking and attending events in person!"

Covid propaganda in the west is absolutely surreal.

Shout out to everyone suffering from festival flu, sports sniffles, work weezies or school sickies. It’s all covid.

Or any drug. Happy 4/20

In the past few months we've learned of:
- a man starving to death in an Arkansas jail
- a man starving to death in an Indiana jail
- a man being eaten alive by bugs in a Georgia jail

All three were being held pretrial.

No matter what they say, the right does not give one single shit about protecting kids

Reading interviews with people in East Palestine, Ohio where the train derailed is so heartbreaking and insane. People are like "all my pets died" but then they're being told to move back into their houses.

I wasn’t going to watch this. But it is important to show. My colleague was trying to do his job. This video shows Ohio’s commander of the National Guard, Adjutant General Maj. Gen. John C. Harris Jr., shove my colleague. Escalating the situation. @NationalGuard @NewsNation

We are very likely witnessing a full blown government-led coverup of an environmental disaster in Ohio. You cannot talk to residents near the train crash and come to any other conclusion in my opinion. I’m genuinely shocked reading and seeing what I am.
