The shooter at Stoneman Douglas was MAGA.

The suicide bomber in Nashville was MAGA.

The shooter at the ClubQ nightclub was MAGA.

Kyle Rittenhouse, who drove two states away to hunt people for sport was MAGA.

The insurrectionists who stormed the US Capital on January 6 were MAGA.

The murderer who killed a lady for flying a Pride Flag was MAGA.

The Jacksonville shooter who murdered three black people in a Dollar Tree was MAGA.

The guy who broke into Paul Pelosi's house and tried to bash in his brains with a hammer was MAGA

Even the kid who tried to assassinate Donald Trump was MAGA.

It's not mental health.
It's MAGA.
MAGA is terrorism.

I’m honestly shaken at the number of infosec people, particularly women, who are endorsing and spouting Russian transphobic misinformation about Olympic athletes with added hateful TERF rhetoric. In public, right in front of queer and trans peers. Some I used to consider friends. We all see all of it. It’s absolute hell for trans community members. We need to be calling this crap out for what it is.

This cat presents you their butt.

As you may know, when a cat presents their butt to you, it is a great honor.

You are compelled to boost the cat butt.

It's lucky to do so, you know.

Boost the booty.

@arstechnica Ok, I'm totally psyched about the attention for the work of @GreatDismal but can someone please continue production of The Peripheral as well?

A gender pay gap? In this economy?

At least we can still have fun unkindly mocking the worst offenders

Fuck JK Rowling. Remember that buying any Harry Potter related products funds her transphobic and hateful actions like this.
