Can somebody tell me why Tommy’s is thronged

TPUSA was promoting an anti-trans event on Juniper's campus when she was stabbed to death Sunday. I'm pretty well-informed + I only heard about this today on the "It Could Happen Here" podcast. Violence against trans and nonbinary people has skyrocketed in recent years. Media coverage is dismal.

Given that saying something nasty back to him would give you a Bonnie-andClyde-robbing-a-bank level high and would ensure you could raise a million dollar gofundme within hours it really lets you know what type of person winds up in these jobs that it never happens.

Can you imagine how great it would be if a single reporter speaking to him ever remembered that in addition to being a reporter they are also a human being and they carry the spark of life within them and can respond any way they please and that's better than having this job

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

trans woman's replies when she mentions that the democrats are leaving her and her siblings out to rot

Goddamn I love the way Jordan Harper writes. “He’s smooth like an iPhone: no jagged edges, nothing to hold on to. He talks to her about exploitable IP and shared universes.” (from A Violent Masterpiece)

How looking at about 80% of all news stories makes me feel

One thing about Hollywood is that if you’re here long enough you may get to point to a name on a list, the name of a person who has treated you or others badly, and say NOT THAT GUY. I’ve got to do it a few times and it feels so good.

EXCLUSIVE @taskandpurpose.com. After Aaron Bushnell self immolated himself in protest over the war in Gaza, the Air Force review initially said mental health played a role. The commander overseeing the review reversed that, saying Bushnell was of sound mind when he killed himself.

Dudes who rock more than any other dudes have rocked

At the risk of saying something that will be misconstrued, acts like this are a form of violence and our failure to recognize them as such and react appropriately are a big part of the problem

Last night’s screening of AFTER DARK, MY SWEET @vidiots.bsky.social was REALLY special, y’all. We got to watch Jason Patric’s PRISTINE personal 35mm print (which I will be thinking about forEVER) + hear a terrific conversation between him + @aheartofgould.bsky.social after the movie.
