a few good Jessica’s

Hi! Tavisha had a hospital stay two weeks ago and now she has to do a number of $$ tests—so I made a bunch of new autograph prints! You can get them at etsy.com/shop/RikkiSi.... If prints aren’t your thing and you’d still like to help, we have a PayPal link here: www.tavicat.com/donate. Thanks!

Defense Secretary mandates gender affirming care.

Hi as a queer trans man who has never left rural areas and spent a third of his life as a political and community organizer in the rural south you do not take food from the mouths of children because of the sins of the parents unless you're a fucking fascist.

Just because I'm posting after 11:30 doesn't mean anything. I found out like 15 minutes ago.

the worst part about morning is that it comes so soon after night

upgrading my gender from non-binary to non-hexadecimal cause I don't give a #FFFFFF

This will end with Cuba owning the Florida Keys

I’d like to launch Childless Cat Ladies for America. You don’t have to be childless or a cat person or a woman to join; you just have agree that being (or not being) any of those things is just fine, but that being JD Vance is terrible.

Chapter 14 of /Network Effect/ (Murderbot 5) ends on a dramatic and frightening cliffhanger for its viewpoint character, and chapter 15 then calmly returns to Murderbot in its comparatively much more stable situation. Damn you, @marthawells.com!!

Aside from being an amazing and memorable book—among the few that I own and cherish on paper—the PDF is one of the best produced ebook versions of a graphic novel I’ve ever seen.

Road trip morning! I’m *almost* packed, I swear!

About bedtime the night before a 10-day road trip. Good News: I’ve started packing. Bad News: ”Started” is about the extent of my packing so far.

Musk v Altman JUDGE: The jury has sent a question and the answer is no, the death penalty is not "available for both sides" please return to the jury room and limit your consideration to civil damages.

TIE fighters, exclusively in a front plan (or occasionally even more pathetic side plan) view, because that was (and still is) the ability-stretching outer limit of both my technical skill and talent.

Proper member of society ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

I was just thinking that I hadn’t seen anyone post the Umbrella video in a while.

Daredevil finally brings back Jessica Jones, and they immediately nerf her and let some smug normie knock her down? Booooo!!!

I’m a progressive liberal who’s pro strong gun regulation verging on being anti 2A outright, and I’m begging directors to know just the very basics of how guns work, so they don’t ruin dramatic scenes by making allegedly pro operator characters suddenly look unbelievably clueless.

No one needs a clean home to be deserving of love. Except me, obviously.

Let’s go!

Watched last week’s episode of Invincible (s4e5), and I *really* wish I hadn’t.

For worst SecDef in my lifetime, Rumsfeld is a second so distant he’s almost over the horizon. (Also @onthemedia.bsky.social is recommended weekly listening. Consistently excellent.)

<To myself> It’s a bit. It’s not important. Put your hand down.

This quote chain is my excuse to post a picture with no explanation.

Knowing nothing about Bryon Noem outside of this NYT article, I feel genuinely bad for him. By the same principle as never going after public figures’ minor children, I think the best thing we can all do is leave Bryon Noem alone.

So besides being an incompetent racist misogynistic blowhard asshole, the Secretary of Defense is also a corrupt thief and war profiteer.

Imane Khelif is a woman, and Rowling is a monster.

The struggle is real!

Like my last name, my hometown seems to only ever be in the news in a bad way.

Instant pre-order. Pina and her affirming comics are a treasure.

Cy is one of the kindest people I know and the absolute backbone of coverage at AniFem. They've been dealt raw deal after raw deal by cruelties beyond their control, and if you're able to share or donate it's hugely appreciated paypal.me/cycatwell #mutualaid

Under Kansas law, he must use the women's bathroom or be subjected to criminal charges in government owned buildings or $1000 vigilante lawsuits in public spaces. I think everyone can understand why this is absurd and causes more problems than it was ever intended to fix.

Entitled gamblers are becoming the new entitled smokers.

I will only marry a woman who: - Can change her hair, eye, and skin colors at will - Can uproot a phone pole when needed - Can accurately articulate lyrics at 200 bpm - Likes patter songs - Can outrun a car on roller skates - Will only sit on the back of my motorcycle if hers is in the shop

Jesse Singal: “I don’t understand why all these experts with degrees keep disagreeing with me. So demoralizing. What could the explanation be??”

I’d describe Alito as straight up lying about the case disposition here, in writing, which the SCOTUS conservatives seem to feel safe doing after 303 Creative v. Elenis. Not great! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/303_Cre...

In middle age, I’ve gained self awareness enough to know that I’m not very insightful.

Ken Paxton is one of the most evil motherfuckers alive.

While I enjoyed an entirely peaceful service ‘90-‘94, the first gulf war started while I was learning Arabic at the Army’s language school. We had no idea then how short it would be, and we had to face the prospect of deploying to war after training. 1/3

If you have the means, please donate to the Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate and they are overwhelmed with requests. Colorado borders Kansas, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. tcpipeline.org

My world-wide exceptions would fit on a bus. A small bus. Maybe a van.

I still loathe that Elon fucked up one of my favourite words; grok. It took me a couple decades to separate it from the fucker who coined it too. It's a grand word. a perfect word. It filled a necessary void - and now it's been stolen. boo.

My favorite part of this order is near the bottom of page 5.

84 years ago today, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, ordering the removal and incarceration of more than 120,000 Japanese Americans, about two-thirds of whom were US citizens. The Day of Remembrance this year comes as we see DHS buying land and warehouses for more camps now.

We've got 2.5 years to put up a better candidate than Newsom Trans folks & allies are saying NOW that he's a nonstarter on the basis of his policies and his inability to stop fellating the alt right If he's the nominee I'll assume the party thinks they can win without my vote and let em prove it
