Good piece Julia!

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today. Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere. Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

Happy TDOV to all my trans sibs. Keep on trucking. Keep on holding each other up.

anyways. we're being visible. i guess

it's a crucial part of the perpetual motion transphobe centipede: 1. make shit up 2. media 3. do "science" using media 4. media 5. change policy using above 6. media 7. change policy in 2nd place using above 8. media 9. policy change cascade using above 10. media 11. goto 1 using above

People should take notice of what's happening in Rogers Park in Chicago right now. The right-wing media machine has zeroed in on the 40th Ward's Black queer alderman in the aftermath of a shooting, vilifying her description of the victim being in the "wrong place at the wrong time" as victim-blaming

I’m coming to Pittsburgh next month ✨ I’m giving a talk at the University Pittsburgh’s Frick Fine Arts Auditorium on April 9th at 7pm as part of the Alice and Staughton Lynd Working Class History Seminar; it’s free and open to the public, so tell your yinzer friends!

Well hello there, you wouldn't happen to be a...well, you know... a FRIEND OF THE PUSS? What's that you ask? Well, uh, it's when you, uh, it's like gay marriage, but for liking books too much!

Thanks Jaya!! If you read this and want to tangibly support the Nitehawk Workers Union and our fight for a fair contract, please sign this petition: www.ipetitions.com/petition/sup...

If you appreciate my stance on this please read Afghan, Iraqi, or Palestinian writers You can also preorder my book from any bookstore or order a signed and personalized copy from Loyalty Books in DC Not doing this event does mean lost sales (long term because this venue won’t ask me again)

Wind is bonkers today in Chicago. Some sort of Zuul situation happening in Northern Wisconsin?

Socialism is coming!

Trans and queer writers review thirteen essential queer books (that weren’t covered by the New York Times Book Review during Pamela Paul’s reign).

The clock is evil

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

did you know? you can just put eyebrows on a dog if you want

always happy to be supporting money going to queer artists! lots of kick ass cool people associated with this org!

If my girl @lillywachowski.bsky.social is steering something, you can bet it has the goods. Now, more than ever, we need a cinema by and for the queers.

The person upthread said 3-6° is the ideal angle for a zip line, which comes out to roughly a 7% grade from ground level. Top floor of the Sears Tower is 1,354 feet above street level, so the run of the zip line would be 19,342 feet (3.66 miles), so roughly Garfield Park or so.

Florida is doing what it set out to do, make life unlivable for trans people. www.advocate.com/news/educati...

Trump has turned the U.S. war machine into a made-for-TV spectacle—and it’s spectacularly unpopular. As the bombing of Iran escalates, Khury Petersen-Smith and Azadeh Shahshahani argue we should channel public anger into organizing to dismantle militarism for good.

Raja is an absolutely terrible choice folks.

Where is the lie???

So, I dunno. Be nice to a trans person today. And don't forget trans men as part of all of this.

IL is on the verge of electing a Senator far more aligned with Trump, MAGA power brokers & ICE infrastructure expansion than the values of a deep-blue state. Here’s what Raja Krishnamoorthi hopes you don’t know about him & how we elect someone better.

Being a trans journalist is going to work and having to cover how your life is now illegal in your state but also at the same time make sure someone else writes the story so no one can accuse you of being biased and a "trans activist" and then they do the story and you still get accused of it.

another chance to see my pal @samfeder.bsky.social powerful doc coming up march 5. cool panel too featuring another pal, @channynlynne524.bsky.social !

As of tonight, licenses of trans people across Kansas are being invalidated en masse, enabling the overnight criminalization of an entire group of people for going about our lives. It’s often said you never know when you’re living through history, so let me assure you: that’s what’s happening now.

Transphobia is an astroturfed moral panic invented from whole cloth by people on the Epstein list

Krishnamoorthi's campaign is awash in crypto cash and big money donors. He is really a lying asshole. I hope this is not what we get in the senate.

Heading over to Wacker Drive to see this ...it looks like it's set up across the river from the dump tower!

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

Towards the Afropastoral: What NOPE Says About the Black Western

"it is clear that AIPAC is again funding super PACs in order to secretly funnel money to its preferred candidates, while also coordinating donors to give to those candidates directly." prospect.org/2026/02/06/a...

FWIW…. CHASING CHASING AMY is on Tubi. Trans boy coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a Kevin Smith movie! Women! Romance! A filmmaker accidentally traps himself in his own Truman Show!! Only 92 minutes!!!! tubitv.com/movies/10004...

Job offer!! I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July. This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

It's almost exactly a decade since SC's northern neighbor tried to establish bathroom discrimination and got boycotted by sports leagues and companies alike. A decade of billionaire fascists and their friends in media and academia pouring money into pushing transphobia and anti-feminist politics.

My friend and one of the co-authors of Read This When Things Fall Apart, Stevie Wilson, will be released from prison in less than a week. Stevie has done tremendous work as an incarcerated organizer and has plans to continue doing important work on the outside. Let's help him make a new start.

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.

Think a Dad movie has got to be a western. And if it’s a western it has to be The Professionals

Universities need to figure out already that they can bloody the administration’s nose if they just don’t play ball. Kick all these students out and dissolve their little Hitler Youth club.

Vote Scala!

yeah seems like a good choice!

Shout out to digife for allowing me to discuss some hockey for Black History Month some years ago.

The people demand not one more dollar for ICE. We demand not on more agent hired to terrorize our communities. We say: Abolish ICE and dismantle DHS!
