important blep update

so wait, he is actually there listening to all this?

On this TDOV, please visit this link and tell the Mayor to make good on his fine words, fine Mt. Sinai and Langone for denying trans kids health care, and direct NYC Hospitals + Health to provide those kids care. gregpak.net/2026/03/27/t...

Supreme Court legalizes torture.

Johnny says hi

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

happy trans day of visibility, darlings! I'm packaging up hundreds of sweatshirt orders today for our fundraiser. just got confirmation that our ACH went through:

the generalized anxiety I have about birthright citizenship being stripped out of the constitution is intense enough to maybe light a small city at this point.

“If you’re gay or transgender, I love you. And if anybody gives you shit, tell ‘em Charles said fuck you.”

in my happy place: aka the garage packing up pretty merch I made to send to people who give a shit about other people.

Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger endorsed a constitutional amendment to automatically restore voting rights to people with felony convictions when they leave prison. State lawmakers passed the amendment and it will now appear on the state ballot.

Here's a lesson in right-wing propaganda (which is what Western Journal is) when it comes to movies: • if a movie is unsuccessful, they will try to find a way to make it seem like it's "woke." • if a movie is successful they will try to find a way to make it seem like it's "anti-woke."

reposting this one because I got very few answers and I DO NOT BELIEVE I don't have more gordo-heads following me. what is your fav bean and what is your fav dish with them?

Even when they'd succeeded in having no trans women at the Olympics, they invented trans women to persecute. Remember that.

Why does the fawning media always call these stains on our democracy “a first” like Trump broke the four-minute mile as opposed to the Constitution

the writing of the thank you notes has begun. my goal is to get all these sweatshirts out before the potential USPS tax increase. 🤞

a good thread but I want to add: literally all of every sport favors people with genetic advantages but no one complains when cis men have them Michael Phelps’ muscles produce HALF the lactic acid as an average cis man, meaning he can go twice as long before tiring is that unfair? nobody cared

it is not a good time to drive a diesel car

JK Rowling is calling women athletes men even after they pass genetic testing. People in her replies are talking about these women having “ambiguous” genitalia. We are in an extremely frightening moment for ALL women thanks to transphobia.

it's officially spring!

This. Is. Murder. Even. If. No. One. Calls. It. That.

This is a fantastic piece and worth your time, even if you're unfamiliar with Minutemen.

you will not win a race to the bottom with republicans and you're a fucking fool to try, because they do not have values. you won't ever reach a gutter lower than they can, because they mock the entire idea of even having values.

At 9:15am next Monday (after a bunch of suspiciously large futures trades) Trump will announce that he's considering pulling out the troops we've landed & the Dow will be up 2% at open. At 4:01pm the same day he'll announce that the troops will never leave.

What if people could smash cuff-links together and create a critical mass that way? What if giraffes were cyborg aliens? What if there are actually only 2 squirrels on earth, they can just be everywhere at once?

My latest for The New York Times: a look at the life & legacy of the late great D. Boon. Visited San Pedro to talk to the surviving Minutemen, Mike Watt and George Hurley, as they continue to carry forward the spirit of Boon and the band. Gift link here: www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/a...

Get ready for them to demand/require “test” on all Black & WOC who win or want to participate. ALL BECAUSE YOU FUCKERS ARE TRANSPHOBIC PIECES OF SHIT!

We ended up raising over $19,000 for the Trans Continental Pipeline. I love this little web site SO MUCH. 🏳️‍⚧️💜

On this day in 1942, the United States evicted Japanese Americans from their homes in Washington and forced them into internment camps.

Watching tv and nobody’s foreheads move anymore. Also, the only thing on tv is reality tv or cop shows or sometimes a combo of both.

I drove six hours and am eating at a mid taqueria in a strip mall. This is not a complaint, this is like one of my favorite things.

the US is having people die in completely avoidable incidents because it is run by people who have made a wholesale abdication of any notion of doing anything right or the public good

logged into the video game for a little mindless fun and immediately saw someone using zio and talking about the epstein files in the trade chat. yiiiiiikes.

I have a large amount of records I will be driving to DC early this week. even with gas prices what they are it is considerably cheaper for me to drive them there than to ship them.

as a teenager I used to go to the airport with my best friend and we'd pretend we were flying somewhere. we'd sit at the gates and just watch the planes.

Around 7000 Americans were killed on Iwo Jima and 19,000 wounded, and it was part of a campaign that ended with a nuclear weapon being used, so maybe not the wisest comparison.

all my apes gone

Holy shit we might have a cure for sickle cell anemia

I just saw the words pretzel beef jerky in a row and I think we're done here.

I spoke to my calculator, what it said will shock you.

This one's easy - I have listened to the Wild At Heart soundtrack whenever I write since high school. Angelo Badalamenti forever.

6 months before bombing Iran and closing the Strait of Hormuz, the Trump admin fired the State Dept. oil and gas experts. The people who modeled exactly this scenario. The ones with contacts at Gulf energy ministries. Now nobody knows who to call. You can't make this up.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Show someone who absolutely rocks a hat (that isn't Indiana Jones) youtu.be/17lkdqoLt44?...

In the past few months I have completed my first painting in forty years, learned how to cast silver and modelled for a life drawing class & now I'm about to curate my first ever art show (not my work, someone I seem to have 'discovered'). The world is fucked, do something fun you never did before.

as usual, dan is correct!

The thing is the *entire internet* is different now than it was a decade ago (and, largely, not for the better). All of this is interrelated and there's no going *backwards* only forward. So work for a better future, don't angle for a return to an idealized past.

Then you have "left-of-center" White pundits who will say "We just need to be more like the Nordic countries" without ever thinking about what key differences might exist between the US and those countries
