Julian: Everything happens so much

Apropos of nothing, why is it so common to complain about teenagers? I have a tween and a teen and I think they're awesome human beings. Obviously biased but they're both big-hearted with solid moral compasses, brilliant, creative, and hilarious. So much more mature than I was at those ages.

losing a primary by FIFTY points because you backed ICE should tell everyone where the zeitgeist is right now

anti-trans Dems ate shit last night

My now default response to "how are you?": Okay. Not good. Probably bad. #heatedrivalry

This year, N.C. officially began recognizing only two genders, male and female. Advocates say the law erases trans and nonbinary people, and could have dangerous implications. We spoke to four nonbinary organizers in the Triangle who are creating spaces for queer folks. www.wunc.org/race-class-c...

It truly wild to see that accountability really can happen. Just not in the U.S.

Through no fault of their own, more than 70,000 North Carolinians could hit an extra obstacle when trying to cast a ballot in this year’s primaries.

In case anyone else needs some @themountaingoats.bsky.social today: "Well the first thing you learn is how strong you can be if you have to/And the next thing you learn is how cold it can get at night"

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

We are quickly coming up on 50,000 whistles shipped so far in January, and I am just forever impressed by the passion of the folks who have joined forces with us! A reminder that if you know anyone who needs whistles, they can email the address at the top of our linktree! linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

I refuse to behave like armed agents killing unarmed folks in the middle of the street is business-as-usual. I refuse to pretend that these acts are meant to "serve and protect" us. This is state-sanctioned terror and repression. I understand that my justified, indignant rage matters.

We are living through a time that some folks will attempt to misremember. They will rewrite, erase, water-down, placate, and pander. They will gaslight us. We have to refuse that. We have to remember. Our memory is resistance. Our rage is resistance.

Fictional dystopia is much easier to handle than real world dystopia, so The Wife and I started watching Pluribus. She cracked me up when she asked "Is that the new Vince Gill show?" Happy to see Samba Schutte on my screen.

we need a hangover day for parent recovery after the holidays, nobody should have to do work until they've had a day of peace and quiet at home

Notice how Trump and Republicans were having the worst couple weeks in the administration's history and they decided to pivot to hardcore attacking trans people?

Dedham Priest pissing off all the right people by removing Jesus from the church's nativity scene and putting up an ICE WAS HERE sign in His place. www.boston25news.com/news/local/i...

North Carolina is now the only state in the country that hasn't set our budget. NC Republicans need to do their f*cking jobs. #ncpol

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

There’s a reason Customs and Border Protection, not just ICE, was deployed in North Carolina. And it says a lot about how the Trump administration is looking at immigration enforcement.

It's time....#trek

An ESL class in Durham had six students present Tuesday and a Spanish-language immersion school in Knightdale saw a third of students absent as thousands of kids stayed home from school across the Triangle. indyweek.com/news/northca...

Attendance drops in Wake, Durham, Chapel Hill schools during Border Patrol surge. On Tuesday, 19,471 Wake County students were absent, or nearly 1 in 9 kids. That was 7,841 more absences compared to a normal day. www.newsobserver.com/news/local/e... #nced #ncpol #wcpss

BREAKING: Federal agents detained at least three people in Durham on Tuesday, chasing them through a shopping center parking lot as stores locked down and shoppers fled.

Border Patrol agents’ expected arrival in the Raleigh area has some local businesses finding ways to allow shoppers to stay at home.

Of course they do, because they're f*cking soulless ghouls.

From WFDD: Siembra NC, an immigrant worker organizing group, has developed a new app to create a historical record of DHC and ICE arrests in the Charlotte area. www.wunc.org/2025-11-17/n...

Growing up in a time when “selling out” was the most shameful thing you could do and then being forced to live through the 2020s feels like being kicked in the head by a horse every day

Just messaged a local business I've been to before to let them know that because they're having a Harry Potter themed event, they've shown they are not a queer friendly place and they've lost my business. May be screaming into the void but I'll know that at least I tried. There's just no excuse.

It's Transgender Awareness Week. We acknowledge the Transgender, Intersex & Non-Binary individuals of our community. Every person who comes out or lives their true selves in today's climate of scapegoating hate has more courage than many will ever know. You are welcome & you are loved. 🖖🏻💚

Mood.
