of the people who could possibly actually become president in 2028, i think i want it to be this guy?

y'all i am just not feeling bsky. i don't post here, i'm still on lousy old bookface, and anything that feels twittery kinda stresses me out

few things make my heart happier than following legendary gay sci-fi literary elder Samuel Delany on the bookface and just watching him post about oatmeal and physical therapy. the stars really are just like us..

Hey, you know who's on trial for attempting a coup? The former president of Brazil! Maybe we can start talking about how there's an organized fascist playbook for coups globally, and how we can, idk, do something about the one where they're deploying marines to los angeles?? hello??

ridiculous to me that zionists and trained media professionals cannot grasp that IDF soldiers giving grown adult woman Greta Thunberg a sandwich does not make their illegal boarding and detainment of the flotilla okay. did i wake up on earth or planet cuckoo bananaland?

the creator makes but one demand/peace and happiness through all the land

people have asked if I have patreon or any other way of supporting me & my work. I've said no for the longest time, but now, my ABLE account has a recurring donation feature! Even like a dollar a month would go a long way. connect.vestwell.com/gifting/mary...

film nerd moral dilemma time: I don't go around saying Leni Riefenstahl was some kinda girlboss, Nazi propagandist as she was, but we can call her innovative for sure. Yasujiro Ozu made war propaganda too, and he was conscripted to fight, but his postwar films express regret. what do we do w/that?

Appropriate time to reshare one of their legendary short films. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlQu...

i love how many zionists have come to me for safe harbor talking about how "the left" and "the LGBT community" don't like jews anymore. every single time they're like, "aren't you worried??" and i'm like, yes, i'm very worried for the people of gaza. from the river to the sea bitch byeeeeeeee

you know how pointing out that the words I and you are pronouns isn't a gotcha to the right? they don't give two fucks about grammar, they just don't want us to exist. they're mad we made them learn the word pronoun, and now we're paying for it because someone got real mad about genitals and sports

they'll come for the frum jews too, eventually. they'll come for every minority. an 18th century reaction to European secularism is not and has never been the only traditional form of judaism. Project Esther harms Jews

"Covid is over. We have the tools" First they took away masks Then they took away tests They stopped distancing They stalled on clean air They stopped tracking data They stopped research Now they are limiting vaccines

you know what i'm struggling to wrap my head around? some boer billionaire in a k-hole decides i have it too good and then BAM! daily panic attacks about the benefits that provide the food, shelter, and healthcare i need to survive. like what the fuck is that?? fascism, i know, but also ahhhhhhhhh!!

I've been in a place of deep burnout for months now and I've just been taking it day by day. my crisis of faith is first world peanuts compared to what's being inflicted upon the people of gaza. I've added my name to FoodAidForGaza.org please join me in this call.

ok, you know how every body of water has to have a hot lifeguard? like, it's the law, right? i regret to inform you that the therapy pool at the children's hospital where i do PT totally has one and she is a total sweetheart. pray for me, y'all, i just about melted when we were talking!

i hate to be like this, but i'm on a fixed income and really don't want to get scammed--i want the few dollars i'm able to give to have an actual impact in gaza, who is doing disability-centered work? who's helping people get mobility aids and prosthetics where it's needed?

@parkroseperma.bsky.social hey, i really appreciated your video on what life was like before this. your presence has been such a comfort to me. life as a disabled trans queer anti-zionist jewish lady is scary. i haven't been able to get out much since the election. glad you had a good time! :)

Feelin pretty dang proud of my senator

Céline Sciamma makes me want to make films so badly. I would do whatever she told me to, seriously! Have you seen Petite Maman?? Portrait of a Lady on Fire?? Magnifique, as they say!

I'm hitting a breaking point emotionally, spiritually, and politically where the ongoing genocide, and mainstream jewish institutions' callous (at best) reaction to it is making me ashamed to be jewish. yes, i have wonderful anti-zionist community. no, i won't shut up, but this is too much, too long

the racist ass melly gibsons is making a sequel to the jeebus movie. glob help us all.

My friends' creepy neighbor is a white Afrikaner, and I think I'm allowed to be a little xenophobic to him as a treat, no?

the undead kennedy's nasty ass went swimming in rock creek. there was a point where you'd think he would've been the type of person to lead a cleanup effort, but brainworms

40 years ago on this date, police dropped a bomb on a West Philadelphia neighborhood

It's only the mandela effect if you believe in ridiculous conspiracy theories, otherwise it's just sparkling misremembering.

just watched the first ep of the new season of last of us. i have two major thoughts: 1. CATHERINE O'HARA 2. Why doesn't the otherwise very chill commune just feed its homophobes to the zombies?

aaaaand the crunchy hippie to fascist pipeline leaks organic shit into the office of surgeon general. thanks, undead kennedy

hot take, i think? rian johnson was doing cool and interesting things with star wars and a cottage industry of reactionary nerd bros demanded rehashed slop and now he gets to make fun detective stories instead.

alright y'all, i have to shout out my friend @fredamohr.bsky.social they've released two hauntingly gorgeous tracks about grief, love, and identity under the name they bang bang. highly recommended especially for fans of portishead & annie lennox theybangbang.bandcamp.com/track/saturn...

if you ain't fiona apple, i don't give a rat's ass! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ki1n...

receiving care at a pediatric hospital as an adult is fucking wild! everyone thinks i'm tyler's mom until i tell them I'm tyler, and i keep catching myself in the mirror like, "am i giving too much side boob for this children's hospital?"

rfk jr is on a warpath against...diagnosing people correctly?? vaccines?? safe milk?? food coloring?? vegetable oil?? can't wait to go to a labor camp so the undead kennedy can make america healthy again.

people with autism can never write a poem?? hello. hi, have you ever been to a poetry reading?? like one at all ever??

Articles like this are why I read the Beat. And why you should read and support the Beat.

my lil pop punk heart is crushed that i didn't like the new pinhead gunpowder record! i haven't liked anything green day's put out in like a decade and a half, tho, so i'm not sure what i was expecting.

between linda linda linda and sense8, doona bae is my latest celeb crush! www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_lI...

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

Let us be clear: the US is actively enabling the Israeli government to commit this genocide. We will never abandon the fight for Palestinian liberation. In the face of repression, our demands will only grow stronger: STOP ARMING ISRAEL!

favorite 80s comedy? gosh, that's a toughie! gotta say red dawn! i mean, harry dean stanton with his fingers in the chain link fence croaking out, "remember boys...america!" priceless!

the wachowski sisters are so hit and miss for me! after like a decade, i'm finally getting into sense8 and it's fantastic! it's not like i expected jupiter ascending to be a great movie, but they could've done so much more with that concept! also that speed racer movie was dope.

Jewish Voice for Peace has a really useful tool/script that makes it simple to call your reps about Mahmoud Khalil's chilling arrest www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/resource/cal...

i am working so hard to comprehend that this isn't two queer, avant-garde british comedians doing an edgy, but brilliant sketch! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVHb...
