In addition to removing fact checkers, Meta also added some new language to their Hateful Conduct policy:

yes this is real. as a reminder, Meta runs Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, and Threads. not that Meta has ever been an ally, but blatantly writing this in your website’s conduct policy is certainly a choice

for those in the notes hoping this was a typo:

they also made the following changes:

The CNN headline adds some more

Being non-binary is like instead of having an angel and a demon on ur shoulder u have a faggot and a dyke

the world is so beautiful everyone's on their own path

Every time I see a middle aged lesbian couple in public I’m like ok so I must survive

:O

This is what it feels like to talk to neurotypical people

from this article about trans and gender-diverse elders in Australia. I just love hearing about older multigender people so much <3

you can preorder marlo w's book as either a physical copy or an ebook from his website :)

reading the symptoms of autism as a now grown adult after being bullied for no explainable reason all your life

I do love the phrase executive dysfunction bc the image it conjures is of a bunch of people wearing business suits around a long oval conference table  arguing with each other to the point where they’re getting into physical fights, but in the background there’s just a big empty whiteboard with a To Do list with one item on it and that item is “take shower”

I really want to see this happen. There are way too many black trans women murdered.

Caper in the Castro is a legendary video game, not because legions of die-hard fans continue to play it, but because it was thought to be lost forever. Now, what is largely considered to be the first LGBTQ-focused video game (it was released in 1989) is on the Internet Archive for anybody to play.

The game is a noir point-and-click that puts the player in the (gum)shoes of a private detective named Tracker McDyke who is, in case you couldn’t guess by the name, a lesbian. McDyke must unravel the mystery behind the disappearance of Tessy LaFemme, a transgender woman, in San Francisco’s Castro district, an historically gay neighbourhood.

OOOOOHhh!

The game was released as charityware – freely, with a strong request to give a donation an AIDS Charity of their choice. I’d like to push towards still following that and donating, if you’re able.

(And you might also want to donate to the Internet Archive, who is hosting it now, while you’re at it – they’re in the middle of a donation drive, and could use your support.)

adhd is fun bc everything I got taught is backwards

a good day makes good sleep

starting with a lil treat gets the work done

More things to do is less overwhelming

don’t make a plan just get in there

you’ll never take good care of what you don’t like so throw it out (this one is my favorite bc it’s easy to see what you don’t like)

Incredible addition

don’t put the thing on the shelf put the shelf under the thing
