happy Take Your Situationship to Jeff Rosenstock Day to me

Hello @battingaround.bsky.social if we need to kill Tarps Off by making it gay, maybe we could get a bunch of trans guys doing it at the second Mariners pride night. (6/29 vs the Angels)

It’s so fucked up that so much money and time has been spent on attacking a high school student for wanting to do normal high school student stuff. Like, the full force of the federal and state governments being brought against one teenage girl is dystopian shit

Remember when Venezuela won the WBC? That was neat

"Working class" in 2026 means a blue haired barista with they/them pronouns, a Asian immigrant nail technician, and an undocumented hotel cleaner. And we are going to keep having the same fights until we let the midcentury illustrator mirage of the white guy in plaid with the lunch pail go.

assaulting a woman is a minor vice, scolding a man is unforgivable

Would love if something wasn't Gender like, one time.

I’ve gotta start making music with my friends again

Overheard at the bar: a project manager and a project coordinator explaining their jobs to each other

Actually pretty fucked up about Marjane Satrapi. Persepolis is a vital book for kids to read before they’re ready for it.

Can anyone explain how my well-being as a trans person in the USA is helped by a cis drag queen getting to make profit off of Patagonia’s trademark or has she just decided she wants the attention

Glad my boss doesn’t care about tardiness because Trimet’s unreliability would’ve gotten me fired a few times by now

Saw a bunch of commenters on the MLB’s TikTok yelling at them for taking the pride pfp down today. Love the energy but someone should let them know about Lou Gehrig day

Every day the MLB app has a new corporate sponsor that gives me a new glimpse into the projected psyche of hegemonic masculinity

Guy with the longest rat tail I’ve ever seen doing ollieing on a Ripstick™️ outside the laundromat

I think people forget the “you can’t change your sex” slogan is a newer line of GC rhetoric with only recent purchase. For nearly a century “sex change” was an accepted term, and while deployed clumsily and poorly, it was also understood as a reality the nuances of which were largely irrelevant.

The riot fest lineup actually exists for me & Sober Greg at work to come up with the funniest potential old man fights

Achievement unlocked: emotionally recovered enough from eighth grade to listen to London Calling (album) in full

if you’re being impacted by or mad about service cuts it’s really important to specifically tell your state legislators about it. doesn’t hurt to complain to trimet, city councilors, etc but the legislature has the power here and they need to know people are mad. tell your friends too!

She really is That Girl

Which apps/etc are best for bike route planning in Portland?

lady gaga... just found out about her!

These people are protesting families on bikes not getting hit by cars. That is how they are spending their Saturday.

Miller Lite discourse is just another company pulling off the 2000s PBR revival, right? Like, we’re noticing that broke college hipsters drink the same cheap beer as other broke people & making it a whole thing again?

If I had a nickel for every time my bus has been delayed over a minute by somebody parallel parking their bigass truck in front of Slappycakes, I’d have 1/28 of my bus fare

No one in line at the bagel place ahead of me seems to have entered with previous knowledge of what a bagel is

Career goal: gay Diogenes

New time killer during slow days at work: trying to discern what’s on Mina Kimes’ bookshelf when she’s on ESPN

Someday I’ll write something about the 26 minute André 3000 clarinet/EWI track that helped me hold it together in December 2024. Not today, I’m tipsy enough to be sharing this, but someday.

I really regret ranking Novick in 2024. Got a mailer that he was endorsed by PPA after I’d mailed my ballot, I would not have ranked him if I knew he was endorsed by the PPA. He’s more anti-socialist than he is progressive at this point. A sad decline for such a long presence in PDX politics.

Saw someone respond to the idea of DC statehood with “so should every major city be its own state?” and yeah don’t threaten me with a good time.

It’s weird Stephen A Smith doesn’t spend much time screaming that Wemby needs to be banned from basketball despite his very clear biological advantage

Barney Frank died. You're going to hear a lot of eulogizing for him this week, but I am going to remind everyone that he was oddly obsessed with trans women's penises for some reason.

Hate buying toothbrushes & toothpaste at the same time, makes me look like I’m new to the whole thing

This is my first season watching baseball, is the wizard usually there? Broadcast team didn’t mention him so I figure I’m missing some common lore.

Waiting for my bus home to vote & bike to my ballot drop off spot & find somewhere to grab a quick dinner, hopefully all before the Mariners game starts. Yay!

This reminds me of how no amount of pointing out how Trump supports people who tried to murder the Capitol Police will get cops and the biggest cop supporters to stop backing Trump because that support is motivated by racism, not regard for any individual's safety or well-being.

My kingdom for an urban Democratic Party willing to call suburbs (even the ones that cosplay as “rural”) the antisocial parasites on big cities they are

in fact a bigger deal in oregon politics is the “salem bubble” where talking about portland is considered illegitimate and you have to pretend the rest of the state subsidizes portland rather than the other way around

hunter schafer thompson

Noticeably drunk guy at the bar said he clocked me as gay but not as trans after 45 minutes of talking baseball, I’m serving hog tonight ✨

I have been lectured to my entire life that the greatest sin in politics is to look down on these cosmically ignorant fuckwits, or to hold them accountable for their decisions. We're just supposed to flatter their Illusions and dutifully repair all the shit they destroy.

ok so trans women are women until someone wants to feel better than us and then theyre men and also white. but trans men are better men than trans women because theyre also women too only cooler. i think i got it

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

Someone find out what Rosenthal thinks gay sex looks like, mechanically

i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

It's funny that one glup shitto nonprofit will come up with the craziest wokespeak you've ever heard and 1000 Atlantic think pieces will be written about how this is why Dems lose but nobody will address that voters think "Crime" means "The number of homeless people I see"

Someone on here just accused me of working at a car detailing company, like I’d ever materially support c*r ownership in any manner.

Dipping my toes into popular MM romance novels these days & find the balance of blatant didacticism with delightfully deranged explicit sexuality fascinating. Reading them feels like drinking one of those “healthy” sodas that are on trend these days. Everything “wholesome” & good for you… (1/2)

this discourse has convinced me we need to be meaner to Disney adults & really anyone who considers liking a corporation a primary personality trait.
