dialed.gg I wanna see your numbers, people.

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

I think women that he doesn’t want to fuck just don’t register for him. It’s that way with a lot of men.

The general air of sadness and disappointment that emanates from InNOut fries is bad. Ordering well done animal fries and getting home to find they are even LESS cooked than normal is just so much worse.

If you think Talarico is the guy for you and for your state, then you should vote for him. Because you WANT him! Not because you think that bigots will take him. It's time to stop walking on eggshells around the worst people on earth. (Also, I'm jealous that Texas has multiple good Dem candidates.)

For a book I’m working on now… I learned that until very recently, perhaps the largest manmade thing in the history of the world was a landfill on Staten Island called FRESH KILLS.

If I wasn't Queer, if I didn't have trans people in my life that I love and would die for, if if if if blah blah blah I would still support trans rights because it is the obvious right thing to do I mean...it's not a debate. Not for me. Human rights are never up for debate.

Notice how the lawsuit is on behalf of all white male cops, not all white cops. White women, they hate you too.

Hey, freelancers. Take five minutes and send out that invoice you forgot to send out. Next-month you will appreciate it.

When you were a kid, did you ever meet another kid who was clearly out of their mind, and incredibly troubled and destructive, who made you really uncomfortable to be around, and you just hoped that they would grow up to… Not be like that? And then they grew up to be even worse?

unmuuuute

So impressed and blessed for all the brands reaching out to support. thousand and more companies offered to donate product and my team gunna get to it. 🙏🏾🙏🏾 BUT if you a billion dollar company,,, we don’t want a product donation. We want you to sponsor these women + athletes. 👀

One thing that demonstrates a need for a strong institutional press is that whenever somebody puts up a “add a link to your favorite indie media here!” post, people invariably include stuff that is explicitly produced by political operations

The only thing I can offer is what worked for me: the possibility of being happy outweighed the certainty of remaining miserable.

The sailors on the USS Gerald Ford who keep stuffing their t-shirts into the toilets so the bathrooms flood and the carrier can’t deploy to Iran should be awarded a collective Nobel Peace Prize

Retrain and employ them to build solar farms. Easy. Dismantling an authoritarian state requires a plan to refocus that energy. THIS is where a lot of movements fall down. Disaffected young men need something useful to do. It can be anything! Make it building infrastructure

here's my proposed platform for dems in 2026: 1. we do not throw trans people under the bus 2. we do not throw red states under the bus 3. WE DO NOT THROW ANYBODY UNDER THE FUCKIN BUS WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU 4. war crimes tribunals

they are just mad they got caught! if we hadn't seen anything that happened in the locker room at all, "hooray for the men breaking a 46-year streak" WOULD have been the public narrative, and the petulant "you guys took that away from us" kinda leaps out here tbh

Unmute, I needed this laugh

This is a Nazi dog whistle but “goy” and “goyim” are not only not slurs, they are not derogatory. It’s literally just Yiddish for non-Jews. Sure, can it have a -tone-? Lots of shit can. But it’s a neutral word and I really dislike the implication that it’s inherently some sort of insult

Made some more super fancy earrings. wyrdingstudios.com/products/ice...

Something I wanted to say when I started this but that got lost in the writing of the thread is that... Burson is from 1972. A right to keep a driver's license once issued isn't new. This is a **knowing** piss they're taking on the 14thA wall of Due Process that is supposed to protect us.

After 12 years and editing close to a thousand different writers, I've learned there are two edits that will transform a perfectly pleasant human into a nearly homicidal figure: - Suggesting that a non-grammatical comma used as a pause could be cut. - Changing an American's use of "grey" to "gray."

There's a recent essay about ZCC and what they do (which includes community meals), here: safetyforallstp.substack.com/p/you-can-si...

Announcement! New book alert! This one won't fully drop until October but I will be posting these diary comics HERE and on IG before then. You can count down with me! If you've enjoyed the diary comics I've posted here, this one's for you! tessfowlerart.bigcartel.com/product/copy...

Fun fact, US passports did not have a gender marker until 1977, when a rising trend in unisex fashion started freaking the government out.

The more @tillybridges.bsky.social and @susanlbridges.bsky.social content in the world- THE BETTER!

Dear @adampknave.com do you think we should discuss this with @matthewdowsmith.bsky.social or @jongraywb.bsky.social?

do not let Democrats give a centimeter on trans people’s rights. We stand up for everyone, or we stand up for no one.

I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.

And that, friends, is why you should support the @ufw.bsky.social, where they believe that everyone deserves the protection of a union contract and collective bargaining regardless of their immigration status. Because workers only have power when they act together in solidarity.

I keep thinking about how often sexual predators in comics use "I was drinking" as an excuse as if that explains it or makes it any better. If drinking makes you harass/assault someone, why the hell are you drinking ever? Why are you at a bar con? What a pathetic, hollow excuse.

HEY, I AM DOING ANOTHER FUNDRAISER FOR MINNESOTA RENT FUNDS! AND GIVING AWAY ANOTHER SIGNED ARC (Advance Review Copy) OF OBSTETRIX!!! YOU COULD GET TO READ IT EARLY (it doesn't come out until June) AND HELP MINNESOTA FAMILIES STAY HOUSED!!!!

Also the Gen Z remake of "The Love Boat" will be called "The Ship Ship"

Henceforth, I will be describing the way that U.S. men’s hockey spectacularly squandered good will, brand recognition, and fan loyalty as “pulled a Target.” They pulled a Target.

Fond memories of working at NTL, woman rang up screaming at me. Her husband in background shouts at her, “don’t talk to them like that. They’re on fuck all” Then he takes phone off her, and gives me a line which I have used myself since “Do you have a manager you dislike intensely I can speak to?”

I am so sad that our elder, 73 year old Delroy Lindo, who was born in the UK but had to leave because he couldn’t get work as an actor, whose parents were Windrushees, who performed incredibly but wasn’t nominated for a BAFTA, is apparently not owed the dignity and care of solidarity and sympathy

What happened at BAFTA makes me recall how, more often then not, when racism occurs and that's pointed out, people often rush to comfort and defend the perpetrator, not the victims. Stunning to me that no one official even SPOKE to Jordan/Lindo after. No one paused to imagine how that felt.

It's still up.

What we try to do is workaround the ambiguity to find a way that a person is to blame. When the reality is, shit happens. Sometimes that shit is harmful. All the people involved can do is say, “crap. This sucks. I’m sorry IT EXISTS.” But that doesn’t juice our complex.

One thing we don’t do well, societally or interpersonally, is digest harms when there really isn’t anyone to blame. Being called a n*gger on international television in front of your peers is a harm. Having a disability that creates that harm through no choice of your own is a harm.

The correct number of concentration camps we should have in this country is zero.

You know, I just remember the best thing about the Bad News Bears. Never ASSUME anything because you can make An ASS out of U and ME.

If there was a vat full of The Fluid That Makes Everyone Forget You, that's not what people would think it was They would think it was The Fluid That Sometimes Randomly Generates An Entire Person

Niceness is like a candle. It provides a bit of light, but if you’re freezing, it’s not much help. Kindness is the warmth of a fireplace on a freezing cold night. Both are, well, nice… but one of them is necessary.

For the afternoon folks, don't miss these!

It is so gross to see the little delivery robots going about their day.

Proud daughter of the Garden State today...

"but they don't have a majority in Congress they can't do anything" What is your plan to get a majority in Congress if people do not see them standing up for EXTREMELY POPULAR policy?
