"In a contest characterised as a #referendum on whether #Hungary should pivot west or continue its #authoritarian drift, Magyarโs #victory is a stern rebuke to the dark, transnational forces of nativism, division & the #politics of #resentment that have become part of #mainstream #political #discourse... the #turnout [was] (more than 74%) [&] the #result [was] (a two-thirds supermajority for Magyarโs #Tisza party, winning at least 138 of 199 parliamentary seats)."

#Queer #joy, and why it matters
Queers and queer joy and creativity are everywhere. And that's a good thing ๐ โ for everyone.
Joy is #resistance to #oppression and manufacturing of consent to hegemony. Queering is an essential ingredient for #democracy, equal rights, press #freedom and #journalism, and #collective action in planetary #health, science, #arts, innovation and society.
And yet, queering is often excluded in #curricula and #media #discourse. Here are a few lines to unpack.

In February, Block CEO Jack Dorsey wrote a letter in such a gentle whisper that he almost made you forget he was announcing some of the biggest layoffs in recent history. "i'll be straight about what's happening," he wrote to the 4,000 people, or 40% of his fintech company, he had just axed. "i'm grateful to you, and i'm sorry to put you through this." He wrote the entire 600-word missive in the new language of power, lowercase.
As tech executives amass more influence on humanity, "type softly and carry a big stick" has become the unspoken communications mantra among many of them. Dorsey has been up on lowercase since his first post on Twitter, now X, in 2006: "just setting up my twittr." OpenAI CEO Sam Altman abandons capital letters with abandon. After he was fired and before he was rehired in 2023, for example, Altman texted Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella a draft of a statement they could jointly release: "how about: satya and my top priority remains to save openai." Other practitioners of lowercase include Y Combinator CEO Garry Tan and LinkedInfluencers everywhere.

FKFTSHnot the biggest fan of the word clocky (though it's used critically here) but this is a really good point.
it feels like nobody - trans women included - wants to actually engage with trans women as we exist. everybody loves the *idea* of trans women, but nobody loves the reality of us.
