Do not talk to Amy Harmon or the new york times

Jenny Holzer

Lovely account of the editorial process and the art of organizing trans community thru the art of publishing.

Interesting tidbit from a post election press call I'm on right now with the Human Rights Campaign: Equality Virginia invested in voter outreach on queer dating apps locally.

The tenth circle was stuck in *puts on sunglasses* Development hell

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

Refreshing to have someone making the bus free instead of throwing those people under it

"in this moment of political darkness, new york will be the light "whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community one of the many black women that donald trump who has fired from her job... your struggle is ours too"

"What we see, I think, are a bunch of rich guys who have been comically out of touch with normal people for many decades, and more recently have blowtorched their brains into a smoking pile of ash on Elon Musk’s Twitter/X and in various group chats." prospect.org/2025/11/04/a...

MAMDANI: "So hear this, Donald Trump: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us."

I’m just a small-town political scientist, & it’s still relatively early, but it appears that The Actual Democrats did not Need To Do any of the Things or Learn any of the Obvious Lessons that Ezra Douthglesias said they Must Do & Learn.

Dick Cheney died doing what he loved most- ending a human life

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

“Searing, witty, critical and defiant … It feels just as pressing now as it did in the early 1990s. … The pages of Gendertrash are filled with poems, essays, rants, fictions, speeches, surveys, interviews, resource lists and personal ads—largely for and by trans people, against...

Congratulations to Dick Cheney for dying and going to hell for all eternity. You earned it buddy!

Doing 1 on 1 meetings with students all day about their research projects and it’s my absolute favorite thing about this job.

the most expensive part of transition is actually all the books

One thing I love about the Mamdani campaign is that its reaffirming what New York stands for in the unconscious geography of America. That unity in difference, in struggle.

Today is only the beginning. Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.

HEY KIDS!

Was out dancing and getting fucked-up with some of NYC's finest gays all Sunday morning. We all just get along and share space and pursue our various versions of the good life. There will be friction but we work it out. Don't let any cis-het click-scrounger tell you otherwise.

"You are what you eat" applies to your media diet, too.

The reason these evil fvcks take so long to die is they've had to build a tenth level of hell to accommodate them, and it took hell developers a while to get the permits.

I often think about how Cheney wanted revenge for what happened to Nixon, and how we live in the ruins made by that dream.

on the topic of dick cheney, one thing i’ve always said is that you shouldn’t kill a million people

Neo-conservativism presaged Trumpian neo-fascism in several respects. It saw violence as a positive policy option not a defensive last resort. It held laws, norms and the lives of non-white people in total contempt. And many, many centrists either cringed in deference to it or actively collaborated.

Watched this tonight. It's essentially what (we) who've been critically engaged in media arts culture have been saying for years now. Seeing it discussed on the BBC is chilling, but, also feels far too late. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/n...

NYMag blew up its story about ICE's increased presence at 26 Federal Plaza, and pasted it on a wall a few blocks away on Broadway

It gets better and better. Mamdani: no line for brunch.

This issue is an invitation to approach trans identities and political struggles around the world through two angles: their collective dimension and their forever escape from clear-cut definitions, in particular those emerging from the West.

We are happy to share with you our new issue "Building Trans Communities" (November–December 2025), where we mobilize collective embodiments and solidarities against transphobia around the world. Order your copy here: thefunambulist.net/shop/62-buil...

Nestor Makhno, femboy anarchist.

A great read on a great artist.

I love many of Watkins' films, but if you're looking for one to start with, watch Punishment Park (1971). It's a film that, sadly, is as relevant now as when it was made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ez_t...

Just out of fairness, I think we should ban straight marriage for as long as gay marriage was banned, and then once that’s done we can just abolish the legal institution of marriage.
