The fun part of Christmas is trying to find gifts your friends and family will like, what is wrong with you

The internet and society will not get better until we confront the legacy of Gamergate and stop treating racist, sexist, homophibic Neanderthals as the gatekeepers of culture.

Don't you just love it when all the gay bars and event organizers start making catty subtweets about each other

Today on Transgender Day of Remembrance, I am leading a resolution to lift up this day and honor all the trans people who have lost their lives to anti-trans violence. Trans lives matter and I will never stop fighting for all trans to be able to live as their authentic selves.

The original movie is not even ten years old. Who the fuck is asking for this.

Please do not chatbot with AI Jesus, or Satan, or a dead relative, or a pretend lover. Nothing good can come of any of it.

My old millennial ass is showing today, sharing memes cross-platform, but, Threads is popping off today 😂😂😂

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I do really like having Jayapal as my rep. It means I can focus my energy on bullying Sen. Collins and Murray instead.

Goon a movie. Lola Goont

It is interesting to me in what ways this city really is conservative. The debate around the comprehensive plan especially showed to me that a lot of Seattlites just want to roll the clock back to 1992.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

So if you've ever wondered what kind of person actually uses a gym at a casino hotel, it appears to be jacked older men presumably here on business trips.

Many things can be said about Cleveland, but one of the few things they did right (and didn't manage to light on fire) was planting their flag on the shores of Lake Erie.

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

I must not election-scroll. Election-scrolling is the mind-killer. Election-scrolling is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my election-scrolling. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.

Foaf got doxxed so time to be a little more aggressive with the blocks here for me. If we don't have mutuals and/or you've got a sparsely filled out profile then sorry, blocked.

Friendly reminder that today is election day! The drop boxes are open til 8 PM, so get those ballots in! We've got Mayoral races (Go Katie Wilson!), city attorney, city council positions, and levies to weigh in on, and now more than ever it's important to do your civic duty: Get out there and vote!

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

One of the major downsides of being a big person with a septum piercing is I am considering having to gauge up solely because my fingers are too large to easily put the ball back on.

Also just blatantly evil. I pity those who think accepting more Somali/Afghan/Iraqi/Sudanese etc. people into the US is a bad thing. Get over yourself and grow a soul.

"Can Donald Trump run for a 3rd term?" No. "What if he..." Still no. "How about..." STFU, No. "Then why are we talking about it!?" Because evil MAGA apparatchiks need you to fear that he will. I explain in @thenation.com www.thenation.com/article/poli...

"removal to the edge of town may become the only way some homeless Utahns can avoid jail" Quite frankly, it sounds like there's not much of a difference. This is an evil, evil, evil plan.

I address the first scandal of my political life—Momgate.

It's a kind of funny/exhausting side effect of the world getting smaller via the internet that now we're all invested in elections we don't vote in.

Reminder that Violent J of Insane Clown Posse has the correct response to a lot of the shitty things he said in the early days.

Love being a pass-out risk for blood draws

the aws outage should be evidence that running half the internet on a single company's servers is a terrible idea but i fear nothing will change

Lmfao the president shelled his own VP. A purge being run by clowns.

Hmm maybe I'm depressed.

Please don't use AI to make a protest sign. Break out those markers like a real person.

With Spotify being horrible for musicians in general, but now also running ICE recruitment ads, I best not see any of you f-slurs posting your Spotify wrapped this year.

This is a powerful image

This sucks. I saw some really good films at the Egyptian (Lola Rennt, Ponyboi) and I'm gonna miss having such a quality theatre so close by.

Last bit on this from me today - Aubrey's statement is also very true. Post Exodus International collapse/NARTH rebranding, no therapist can hang out their shingle as an official conversion therapist without most likely losing their license. It's all underground now.

Anyway all that's got me on a trip down college memory lane. Joe, Miguel, Ben, if you ever end up reading this - I'm sorry for being such a selfish, inconsistent, insecure 20-something while I was figuring all my sexuality shit out.

I tend to think of myself as coming out twice - once when I was 14, and again when I was 19 or 20 and realized I was still gay and was probably always gonna be that way. In between I went back into the closet and just hoped that by doing sports and making male friends I would end up liking girls.

I was lucky to never undergo formal conversion therapy, but I was given books about it (specifically "Light In the Closet") and absorbed a lot of the mindset. Beyond the suicidality it can push you to when you realize you can't change the way you want to, conversion therapy fucks with the way you

Conversion therapy for minors is child abuse. It robs them of the two things they need most: a secure attachment with their parents rooted in acceptance, care and unconditional love; and a secure attachment to their own precious, authentic selves.

If we're talking about my hometown of Cleveland, then the answer is everything.

It took me a really long time to learn how to push past the awkward and make conversation with people, but it is worth it. The best solution for loneliness is community, but community doesn't just *happen*. You have to build it in small ways like this.

Oh this is so deeply fucked

I think the person next to me at the gym is giving a lecture to their spotter about One Piece and its connections to revolutionary geopolitics

Jane Goodall, ethologist and conservationist, has died. She was 91

just guess

Well RIP EA I guess. Hope they get to release the last Jedi: Fallen Order game before they're scavanged for parts.

Dammit, cute rugby boy missed a spot on my shoulder with the sunscreen.

The pup on a balcony waving a BLÅHAJ and a trans flag at Folsom was sending me today

Oh no, my boyfriend has one of these 💀

Fuck Trump. No troops in Portland.
