Over the next few years you are going to have to fight with everything you’ve got to retain your humanity. They will try to convince you to give up connecting with each other, to give up truly being alive. It will be the most important fight of your whole life
The people in this photo put in months of long days risking their own health and lives to do what they could to treat the more vulnerable and protect their communities and the right wing talks about them like they are a foreign occupation. I fucking hate these assholes so much.
There are currently no openly transgender athletes actively competing in any major professional sports leagues these signs and current discourse is genuinely just to attack trans people for existing
fascinated by people who proudly feel the need to announce their bigoted views but are utterly appalled by being identified or associated w/bigotry. all social dynamics (even those that are conservative) it seems are organized around performances of liberal civility and moral righteousness in all of its fragility
When I moved to Florida I realized there are millions of people who have been stewing in rage for years over the lockdowns.

So let me get this straight: Sophie Cunningham says the most life-threatening hateful shit ever to a group that is practically nonexistent in the WNBA and gets to spectate a WNBA game the next day, but a coach who doesn't support those comments gets fined & suspended for 5 games?
so sophie cunningham can be publically transphobic and call young trans girls predators, double, TRIPLE down on it, and she gets a sold-out shoe, a nepo-baby run on usa and reporters AND other wnba players get harassed for it. but god forbid someone does anything back right
the wnba just suspended a team owner for retaliating against transphobia courtside at a game. it was a good 30 years but this league is finished. we’re in a political hellscape now.
“We could make these if we wanted to, it’s just not profitable” “We can win the war at any time, we just haven’t taken the gloves off yet” so many Americans live in a fantasy land where the US is still capable of anything besides debt trading and throwing poor people in jail
Really awesome how a virus that realistically should have been resolved in a couple months with voluntary quarantining instead lasted several years because being asked to follow basic instructions by a government institution drove %30-40 of North America insane
