I have no patience for anyone professing moral outrage while marrying off kids. And states with the worst labor and marriage protections for children often have the most vicious anti-trans attacks.26 Jul 2026 13:47 +0000at://did:plc:747svuemsdwpjvkbcvvfrcce/app.bsky.feed.post/3mrkjfuffv22ihttps://bsky.app/profile/natedickson.bsky.social/post/3mq32p2j5dc2vMy brain is generating writing prompts this week: today’s is “in 500 years, what might be to the left of communism?”07 Jul 2026 16:48 +0000at://did:plc:747svuemsdwpjvkbcvvfrcce/app.bsky.feed.post/3mq32p2j5dc2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/natedickson.bsky.social/post/3mpyave6dgs2iWe need to abolish Taylor laws so education unions can leverage actual power…or we need to become comfortable with striking without permission.06 Jul 2026 14:01 +0000at://did:plc:747svuemsdwpjvkbcvvfrcce/app.bsky.feed.post/3mpyave6dgs2ihttps://bsky.app/profile/natedickson.bsky.social/post/3mmfjzyay2s2dThe laugh react is one of the most toxic things for our social psychology that has ever been invented.21 May 2026 23:09 +0000at://did:plc:747svuemsdwpjvkbcvvfrcce/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmfjzyay2s2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/natedickson.bsky.social/post/3mmcjc6gtlc2dI’ve now digitally met the British TERFs, and they seem to be largely heterosexual men and women who are traumatized (mostly by heterosexual men) and confused and taking it out on those who would otherwise be in solidarity with them-reproductive rights, impacted by misogyny, worried about the planet20 May 2026 18:17 +0000at://did:plc:747svuemsdwpjvkbcvvfrcce/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmcjc6gtlc2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/natedickson.bsky.social/post/3mlvnj7tjps2pThis is genocide. What beauty and possibility, squandered. The name of the trans girl murdered in her college laundry room in Seattle is Juniper. I’ve kissed a friend called Juniper in a bookstore, and it was a beautiful kiss. This Juniper was 19.

My heart is split open. I want to live. I want our youth and communities to live. I am of sound mind and have no desire to do harm or be harmed. How can love for trans people be terrorism?

We are past our environmental limits and we will not see the end of fascism until we see the end of capitalism, or the end of civilization. We need to talk about what kind of world we want to live in, and we need to fight together to build it.20 Apr 2026 02:21 +0000at://did:plc:747svuemsdwpjvkbcvvfrcce/app.bsky.feed.post/3mjvfulgecs25https://bsky.app/profile/natedickson.bsky.social/post/3mjsb5ljja22bHow does one find their way about here? I’m looking for other social reproduction queer and trans people and companionable internationalists generally.
