The idea that trans people have any kind of political power is nothing but manufactured outrage.
Look at how quickly our rights get stripped. Look at trans hate crimes, suicide rates, the # of trans homicides & how most people view us.
What ‘power’ r y’all talking about??
Another trans rights nerd post but 15 years ago reactionaries didn’t need laws and state action to keep trans people closeted and afraid. Now the right wing sphere is out of its mind about the threat we pose to their hateful beliefs. To quote Cassian Andor, “power doesn’t panic.”
I have to admit, Elon is doing a really good job — at showing people that billionaires are extremely insecure, no more intelligent or hard working than anyone else, and really shouldn’t exist.
🧵Elon Musk has made it clear that he has no idea what he's doing with Twitter. But there's been so much chaos that I wanted to compile as much of it as I could in a column and thread.

Happy Halloween! Around here, we Muppets have lots of tricks, plenty of treats, and, thanks to @MissPiggy's wardrobe, enough costumes to cover a small country!
In 2009 or so I was super dismissive of Taylor Swift and it would be fun to time travel to then and be like “yeah eventually you get more into her when she drops a couple of shoegaze-y sad girl albums while a once in a century pandemic kills millions”
@BriannaWu Because the left has no real platform in the United States. We have two right-wing parties. The democrats adopt left-wing “goals” and then walk them back or blame a rotating villain for why they can’t do it. The reality is they really don’t want to.
@b67070877 Interesting take, what did you like better about it? I liked both but thought midnight mass was really really compelling. Bly manor is a little more of a haunted cottage core story for me which I do like but there were parts that took me out of it.
We are rewatching bly manor but let’s face it that’s the worst of the three even if it’s gay. That’s the best thing about it tbh!! Mike Flanagan writes really great characters imo
We have now rewatched both Midnight Mass and Hill House. I forgot how much I loved Haunting of Hill House, it’s so gorgeous and well done, highly recommend!
