Straight people think about queer people more than we think about ourselves. It’s fascinating. And boring. And creepy. Y’all don’t even go here!!!

AN ICON.

If you can’t teach them empathy, teach them consequences.

Blocking everyone who tells me that we can resolve the femicide epidemic by teaching boys critical thinking skills. I know a woman who was nearly strangled to death by a logic professor. Fuck off.

Definitely flagging this story to see how the investigation unfolds… time.com/7323442/sout...

Today on Pod Save America I talk to Alex Wagner about all this degueulasse. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/p...

I was walking when I suddenly caught sight of a billboard for the upcoming new season of “The Golden Bachelor”. It almost stopped my tracks. The bachelor himself looks exactly like Tab Hunter. WTF?!!! 🤣

The word for these horrendous murders is femicide, death by misogyny. The U.S does not keep accurate statistics of femicide. If it did, the numbers would terrify. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/03/n...

Inside the rooms of the houses they passed, Americans did American things. -Genevieve Hudson, “Boys Of Alabama”

the Yankees fans really do love Charlie Kirk.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.

Because neurodivergent people are so literal and honest, we get mislabeled as rude, sassy, or smart-mouthed when we’re actually just being exact.

if you could have an indoor house party with your favorite writers, feminists, and artists, who would you invite? James Baldwin, Maya Angelou, Toni Morrison, bell hooks, Hilton Als, Claudia Rankine, Frank Ocean, Summer Walker, Howard Ashman, Margo Jefferson, Maggie Nelson, Roxane Gay, Myriam Gurba

Why is Van Jones still talking? bringing up unalived Palestinian children with Diddy’s name is certainly a choice.

here’s an idea: how about taking a break from driving a car, let alone not drive, since this is one of the busiest cities in the country, and most people tend to be very careless drivers.

literally. what we are not willing to speak of, let alone consider, is the fact that there is pleasure in participating in violence.

Thanks for all the kind words. I finally heard from my husband who is safe. He is being detained and it is not clear why he was detained or even if charges will be pressed. Please pray for my family and if you can, reach out to your representatives and senators about this assault on our freedoms.

My husband was detained by ICE today Juan Muñoz, an American citizen, father of 2, and local government official, was peacefully protesting w. other elected officials. He was assaulted and taken away I have had zero contact or updates since #SOS @duckworth.senate.gov @durbin.senate.gov

“One Day I’ll Grow Up And Be A Beautiful Woman” is a tender, deeply heartfelt memoir. You don’t have to be a parent, you don’t have to be trans, you don’t have to the parent of a trans child. You simply need to be a human being.

WOW! DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was barred at the doors and was screamed at while trying to enter Broadview City Hall.

We are here because policing in the U.S. has been this way for generations. This is why ICE acts with impunity. They know they can act this way.

I hope that wherever Cassie is, she can take solace in the fact that she changed his legacy forever, and that's almost more important to him than anything. And out of everyone who tried, she was the only person who ever caused him to face repercussions for his actions in his whole ass life.

This is who @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social is. Brilliant. Fearless. I fucking hate typing this shit out: Free Eman. Amplify amplify amplify please.

This morning was quite a surprise. It started raining like nobody’s business. definitely must’ve been due to the fires at the Chevron power plant in El Segundo, CA.

One of my favorite things is to have conversations while strolling gardens with people I love. Here is one such conversation that I recently had with @wendyortiz.com who spoke with me about hexing politicians, dreams, the women who ARE the Epstein files, and more. flaminghydra.com/issue-415/#t...

Before I landed in academic public health, I wanted to start a long-term project on medical schools' complicity in the trafficking of cadavers. Harrowing stuff.

"I don't know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won't matter if we don't survive these times." -Parable Of The Sower by Octavia E. Butler

The Latina reporter who asked that very bizarre question to Karoline Leavitt about Latine Heritage Month couldn’t even say the word “fiesta” in its actual pronunciation. what an embarrassment!

Hayley Williams is a real one.

A great convo with three of my favorite thinkers

Plenty of people cannot carry their own darkness—they try to sneak it onto your back. -Cooper Lee Bombardier, “Pass With Care”

Howard Ashman, playwright and lyricist thank you Howard, for giving a mermaid her voice and a beast his soul. (May 17, 1950-March 14, 1991) 🕊️🧜🏼‍♂️🥀

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals? J: I didn't see it D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.

To some, mainly some white Americans and government officials, Assata Shakur was a controversial figure. To others, including many Black Americans, she was a revolutionary, oppressed and wrongly convicted. Read more:

So being against racism and fascism and standing with one’s community for self-defense is now considered a crime? Shame on UNC. This is Dwayne Dixon. I know Dwayne and the students testifying to how great of a professor he is in the comments on Instagram are as shocked as I am.

happy LGBTQ+ history month y’all 💛🌈 for anyone wondering what you can do to honor and celebrate the contributions and achievements and rich history of LGBTQ+ folks, start with displaying your pronouns. pronouns are an act of respect. my pronouns are he/him/his.

Folks — this is not a normal government shutdown. Let me explain the stakes and how we got here.

when Hegseth heard the word “confidential”, after being asked then confronted of his infidelity, and then stumbled at saying the word back, he knew he was fucked.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.

Russell Tovey will always and forever be Daddy. my goodness. that man is a delight.

everyone, get vaccinated!

reading the Bsky timeline makes more sense if you have This is America by Childish Gambino on in the background

Five days ago, an ICE agent shoved a woman asking questions about the detention of her husband. Today they attacked two journalists. We cannot accept or normalize what has now become routine violence at 26 Federal Plaza. It has no place in our city.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

💪🏿

“politics is not about self-expression” 🚩 those were Ezra Klein’s exact words. I fucking scoffed at this. if that was the case, you would not be able to say anything, regardless of your opinions and/or political beliefs, especially if it is in disagreement of others. stfu!
