- Orphan with @krelllabs.bsky.social and cackling like maniacs throughout, while the surrounding audience was like stone - Grindhouse, opening night, the woman next to me elbowing me in the ribs when Bruce Willis showed up in Planet Terror, looking at me and saying, "Bruce Willis...MM-HMM!"

I'm breaking my usual social media silence on Wednesdays just to say...the day is not over yet. There's still time...

I'm very not on here but I'm dipping my toes back in. just a little.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1446

Don’t mistake my posts about silly things for indifference to the horrifying things that I can’t stop crying about. I don’t know what to say, is all.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

Reposting for alt text and account In case you’re unaware the American Medical Associations has a YouTube page, they are doing daily updates on bird flu and other out breaks since the CDC can not youtube.com/@americanmed...

As a recent Democrat complainer, I will admit they've been doing a markedly better job with every day this goes on. But they're not getting coverage. That might require cool stunts like chaining themselves to the Treasury Department or jumping a motorcycle over all of the odd little guys Elon hired.

hey, hey, hey, heads up for those of you who have Criterion Channel, they just added a collection of Argentinian noir films including Never Open That Door and If I Should Die Before I Wake. so get on that.

are handshakes what the kids are calling it these days?

@5calls.org is also a great tool to recommend. It removes a lot of the prep work (finding the number, thinking about what to say) so you can just make the call.

Reminder that if you see someone trying to figure out how to contact their reps, you now have the INCREDIBLY easy to remember URL to give to them: reps.fyi Tell your friends! Tell strangers! Print stickers and put them on things! Crash every voicemail every day. ❤️ (thank you @gregpak.net!)

Ordering the NIH, NSF, and CDC to erase any mention of "LGBT", trans people, gender... We are watching Magnus Hirschfeld's research institute be burnt down by Nazis all over again This is *why* people see transness as a fad. We were erased from history! www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-...

I took Paddington to the Toledo Museum of Art to visit the Cloisters before they close until 2027. we're both looking forward to seeing what the TMA brings us next! @toledomuseum.bsky.social

Happy Black History Month! Produced before Stonewall, dir Nikolai Ursin's gently-activist short Behind Every Good Man (1967) provides a glimpse into the life of a Black trans woman in the U.S. at the mid-century. Preserved by UCLA Film & Television Archive for Outfest UCLA Legacy Project.

When the intent is erasure of disabled people from existence, by removing every system and program designed to help us remain alive, erasing anything that affirms our existence is step one. What, did you think that they were going to stop with trans people? We all know what that man thinks of us.

Every time you put on an album by a Black artist, you’re celebrating Black history. Most of the time when you’re putting on an album by a white artist, you’re listening to work either inspired by or stolen from Black artists. Grateful every day for the amazing artists that make up our playlists!

This is a very good short thread, and the phrase "engaged and enraged" resonates strongly with me right now. Be engaged and enraged.

I'm still here, you fuckers!

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

If your child has lost care due to hospitals closing or stopping care, PLEASE contact Chase Strangio immediately. @chasestrangio.bsky.social

Do a good deed today. Pick a person in the replies and send them some money.

Just donated to Trans Lifeline to help our friends and family being persecuted by this new regime. IF you have some $ to spare, please consider doing likewise? Even a few bucks helps. But if not, some real LOUD support from the cis community would also be great. ❤️ link: translifeline.org/donate/

"Trump appointed a road rules cast member to be in charge of airline safety and this is the result" that's all true and a one-sentence narrative that is completely damning to the ears of someone who isn't paying much attention to politics. Take the layup.

If you are a straight, cis person and you feel that fucking knot in your stomach about what the administration is doing right now to trans people and trans children, you have to at the very fucking least say out loud in front of your friends and peers in real life "this is fucked up."

Was literally talking to the union representing federal air traffic controllers earlier today about how there’s already a major shortage of air traffic controllers and the resignation offers they all just got from OPM could seriously endanger public safety.

If you feel like asking them to do the right thing seems pointless, demand to know why they’re spending time you pay for persecuting kids when they aren’t doing the things you actually want. They’re public servants. Boss them around.

Your next assignment is to find a trans fundraiser, like someone raising money to flee to a safer state, and give them some money

"We are a creative, disruptive people who have never accepted silence." In this op-ed, @raquelwillis.com offers advice to trans kids on resisting discriminatory times and calls on the strength and resolve of trans trailblazers throughout history. ⤵️

Trans Rescue Action reports that they’ve received no applications to become a safe-house in Southern California. For any length of obligation (days, weeks, months), you can utilize your extra space to change the life of Trans refugees escaping Red states. transrescueaction.org Please share.

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Not deadnaming a transperson is the very least you can do. It’s, like, the basement. “Allies” deadnaming Caitlyn Jenner because she’s abhorrent (she is!) tells me your allyship is conditional and transactional. Don’t. Also don’t twice as hard today.

RIP Garth Hudson. There goes The Band. variety.com/2025/music/n...

Notes on Tony Slattery RIP.

AOC on the Dem strategy against the trans sports bill today, where they argued it would protect "predators," and ended up losing just 2 Trump-district Dems on it:

spending my weekends lately as god intended: watching the original run of Zatoichi films
