1-866-952-4456 to tell Netflix that in no way do you want Elon fucking Musk determining what you watch. I just called, got through in about 15 seconds, and told them that I strongly support queer inclusion in their programming and that I will cancel my subscription if they cave.

Excellent piece from @erininthemorning.com. Destruction of the arts is classic fash behavior. Let us hope Netflix has the courage to hold.

The remedy for a president who both lies to your face and also expects you to make a deal with him is removal from office.

Disco was very good today

This beard oil… we couldn’t help ourselves 💀

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

It's just perfume oil, but I smile every time I put it on. Thanks, @bpal.bsky.social ❤️

Libra season is ideal timing for a military coup, just sayin’

I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night. All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

A day away from a shut down. GOP still wants their “clean” CR, and Dems are holding firm against a budget that doesn't address health care and Trump's impoundment. 🚨 The Senate will likely vote again on the CR on 9/30. Call your Senators! 👉 5calls.org/issue/federa... apnews.com/article/trum...

We’re in countdown mode for this year’s Halloween fragrance series. Enjoy a little plastic rat dance while you wait! 🎃🐀

As of this moment I have officially failed to keep from teasing this. 💛 Part of the Halloween 2025 fragrance launch, which will be arriving within the next few days!

This is a great time to contact your Dem representative and demand that they hold the line.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

After many Republicans insisted that Trump wasn’t involved in the FCC’s decision to go after Jimmy Kimmel, Trump just admitted it. Tell your representative that it’s time to investigate government censorship and FCC Chair Brendan Carr: act.indivisible.org/...

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Our sugar skull caught a rainbow cast by the setting sun

Republicans insist there hasn't been any inflation, but then how else do you explain the height listed on Nick Fuentes's drivers license?

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

It's wonderful to live in cities where one routinely encounters immigrants, trans people, Black people, autistic people, etc., based on sheer population density. The normalcy of these everyday encounters helps prove how deranged and dishonest this administration's pronouncements really are.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

I know we shouldn’t do this. But we had exactly ONE Trumper taunting us in DM’s with “Fuck Around and Find Out” re: Kimmel, and I hope this is how he ended up hearing the news.

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

Today is the perfect day to support Latine-owned bookstores, authors, and stories 🧡

People unfamiliar with science will say "well we have one paper not showing a link and another paper showing a link." This is misleading because the papers are NOT created equally. The scientific/methodological rigor of Ahlqvist is much stronger.

Currently, the strongest study we have that examined this is by Ahlqvist et al (2024), a study of 2.5 MILLION children...its a prospectively controlled study and adjusted for confounders (environment, genetic). It showed no association between acetaminophen in pregnancy & autism

hi, medical toxicologist that knows a lot about Tylenol here👋 Claiming that tylenol use in pregnancy causes autism is fearmongering here's what you need to know 🧵

This is the biggest attack on free speech since the McCarthy era but it also has significantly less popular consensus behind it than the second Red Scare. It's being done on behalf of a minority faction led by the most unpopular president in modern history. Organizing against this can win.

Using this account that posts a daily still from Lynch’s Inland Empire as a form of divination. What could go wrong?

Look at this stuff, isn’t it neat?

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Keep up the pressure

The last political column I was allowed to write in the @washingtonpost.com was a criticism of Obama. His people took issue with my piece, but we were respectful. Now he is tweeting in support of me. This is how free political speech and respect for debate *actually works*. Or used to work.

Woke up wanting to post about trans love ✨ trans bodies ✨ trans joy ✨ trans resistance ✨ trans people ✨ trans rights ✨ This artwork by @girthofvenus.bsky.social says a mouthful 👄

I want our young people to know that there is a path forward, that a better world is possible. I don't want them to give up, to become cynical. They deserve to be young and full of optimism. They are owed a world that supports and sustains optimism.

If you have opportunities to get out and do things with others, jump at the opportunity: meetings, classes, social events, etc... Get out and be with other people. It's essential. If virtual is more convenient, then take advantage of those opportunities to be with other people.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

Every major talent that works for ABC and Disney should refuse to show up for work until Jimmy Kimmel is reinstated. Marvel movies need to shutdown. Ditto the sitcoms. Collective boycott. Corporations love money more than anything,& this will harm them and force them to do the right thing.

Thanks to Tumblr, I have learned about a line of Christian dolls that were supposed to be an alternative to American Girls dolls. Why am I telling you? Because the fundamentalist dolls have a hysterical defect where their eyes turn pink or red when left in direct sunlight for too long.

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

If they ever put me in solitary confinement, they'd better double-soundproof those walls because the songs coming out of that cell will be VERY SILLY INDEED

"Ironpilling" my extremely online boyfriend to make up for the lack of dark leafy greens in his vegetarian diet

New to MN but ranking Omar first (and Frey not at all)!

"They're politicians, what are they supposed to do? Literally fight in the streets?" Unashamed to say this made me cry.

Ooo, stealing this one from CNN. From now on, if ever caught lying, please just accept that I have "gone well beyond the evidence."

Anyone reporting officially on Jeff Hiller’s incredible Emmy win should make sure to refer to him properly as Jeff “Boom Boom” Hiller

“'AI isn’t magic; it’s a pyramid scheme of human labor,' said Adio Dinika, a researcher at the Distributed AI Research Institute based in Bremen, Germany."

Those of us who can't be fired have an obligation to talk twice as much shit, to compensate for the silence of someone who can. 💪

Were the Triplets of Belleville also demon hunters? 🤔
