I have experienced this with weight loss surgery, a new resident at a queer health center incredulous that I didn't overeat and recommending weight loss surgery before knowing anything about my but how I look. It is a terrible feeling. Fat people are awesome, and hot, and we'll always be here.

A childhood friend's Mom passed away this morning, reminding me of what a steady, accepting presence she was for me as a little kid. From letting me crash Boy Scout meetings, to giving me a space to just be myself, Nancy ruled. May every child have adults like this in their lives.

Age verification? My great aunt took me to see Titanic in theaters as a kid and snuck in a foil wrapped sandwich and cans of soda.

My friend's nephew has a very cool Lego Ideas submission up now. Apple and Lego nerds, go vote! beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

worth noting that the second rich people stopped being afraid of mobs tearing them limb from limb, they stopped building libraries and opera houses and stuff and started ripping the copper wiring out of the walls of society instead

I want independent trusts for journalism, with the charge to factually report news. Private ownership means ownership class concerns will always win the day. Anyone rich who believes in objective truth and the value of journalism could do this tomorrow, with many available, talented journalists

Remembering that time six years ago when I learned that "I'm going to Disney World!" isn't just a figure of speech, and was accidentally in the Magic Kingdom when the parade came through. It was pretty unreal at the time, and even more so when covid lockdowns kicked off a month later.

Me from the late 90s to 2025: This vast left-wing conspiracy talk is such nonsense, no one is this coordinated. Me in 2026: So they just...emailed Jeffrey Epstein all their plans to tank the entire country...

Alright Boston, who is running observer trainings?

As the tide of public opinion finally, slowly, hopefully starts to turn, let’s all agree that no one in public/civic life who supported this gets a pass. I mean everyone down to a city counselor. If you were for this, you lose your right to lead anything, no matter how small.

O ye that love mankind! Ye that dare oppose, not only the tyranny, but the tyrant, stand forth! Common Sense, Thomas Paine

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

So ICE is just shooting people for sport, while disappearing our neighbors with impunity. @whipkclark.bsky.social @edmarkey.bsky.social @warren.senate.gov where are you? There can be no normal order, your constituents demand action.

I didn’t go to school for math, but 2/3 of your drives being interceptions seems bad, right?

There is a clear undercurrent of violence against queer women from ICE. If a woman isn't interested in them, she's a 'fucking bitch' who becomes disposable at best and in need of violent 'correction' at worst. It's immigrants on the surface, and queer people incidentally today. Tomorrow it's you.

Are we really doing this again, right now? Moving your body is great. Independently of that, many people need medication to treat their depression. Instead of reading this article, go and listen to any episode of Maintenance Phase to see how the research to headline sausage gets made.

The GOP is allowed to eviscerate and destroy organizations like the CFBP, CDC, NIH and CPB that serve all Americans but Dems are squeamish about even cutting the astronomical funding of ICE which serves naked GOP interests

What is the deal with these tiny, dark logo hats NFL coaches are wearing? A, they’re ugly. B, the entire point of this sport is to be big and garish.

This is the future liberals want

And before someone says "well YOU don't seem capable of respecting THEM" Congratulations, thank you for reinventing the paradox of tolerance, I do not in fact respect people who hate when other people just live their lives.
