These are my kiddos. I love them so much, but I have such a hard time reading this. Ugly cry. No child should go through this. Thank you, Sam, for telling their stories.

YOU GUYS WHO TOLD FUCKING RAFFI GOD DAMN IT

Six years ago today, Banned Book Club was released. This book changed Hyun Sook and I's lives. And we have a special announcement to celebrate. This September, Iron Circus Comics is releasing a new full color edition, with colors by @amandalafrenais.com and a brand new 20 page followup story...

“I think the moment you fully settle into adulthood is the moment you learned how to use professional stress to cover for emotional distress. Who could say where the depression started and the burnout began? It was convenient if you’re uncomfortable with your own feelings.” Oof, @trungles.com

If you're looking for queer & trans-designed pride merch sans rainbows, my teepublic shop is currently hella on sale: www.teepublic.com/user/chekhov...

rare example of actually decent apology / reversal on "adult content" rules. unsurprisingly, payment processor pressure behind the scenes central to what happened at all

Happy book release day to @redgoldsparks.bsky.social for GENDER QUEER: THE ANNOTATED EDITION! This is a wonderful expansion of the original memoir, with notes from Maia and other queer luminaries (including me!)

a piece inspired by this concept www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/...

Clap for me! I've got my annual mammogram, annual check up, and annual gynecologist visit scheduled! If you are a person who should get mammograms and pap smears and have access, DO IT

J Street has spent years insisting it is possible to be pro-state of Israel and anti-West Bank occupation, and the Israeli government and most major Israeli politicians have repeatedly responded that being pro-Israel requires being pro-West Bank occupation. www.timesofisrael.com/israeli-envo...

Yes, they need a warrant. Yes, that's a relatively high bar. Yes, it requires access to the device to install the spyware. No, that's not a thing they can do en masse. Still. Who's behind the software? What is the scope of the data? Where's the data stored? Who can read it? All secret.

Really smart reporting from Betsy Powell. Ontario police are using ODITs that essentially allow them to take over a smartphone, read encrypted messages, remotely turn on microphones and cameras, etc. Incredibly powerful surveillance software. And they refuse to say even the name of the vendor.

Fuuuuuuuuuuck

New statement from San Diego Comic Con on the Eisner-nominated anthology using AI:

Hey, I don't know who needs to hear this, but this October DC is releasing a complete collection of Rachel Pollack's Doom Patrol in softcover

a) and the Rabbis thought of it first b) Reed DiWinter, wherever you are, you still have my tape of this soundtrack (i forget nothing) (except where I put my keys)

Incredible. "B.C.’s premier, David Eby, and Canada’s minister for AI and digital innovation, Evan Solomon, also spoke at the conference. Solomon’s staff declined to comment for this article. Eby’s office did not respond to Tyee queries."

An auditor for the Ontario, Canada government found that AI agents tasked with turning doctor/patient conversations into structured notes routinely hallucinated false treatments, replaced drug names with entirely different drugs, and missed crucial information

The Seattle Times published a full obituary for Juniper Blessing. It's a moving tribute to a life well-lived. May she rest in peace, and may UW honour and carry on her legacy. Scholarships named for her might be a good start.

transphobes want you feeling hopeless and afraid! you don't need to pretend everything is sunshine and rainbows, but don't do their work spreading unchecked propaganda for them

At some point there's gotta be a conversation about the detrimental effects of the trans fear mongering content creators on the wider mental health of a lot of trans folks. Some of the stuff people are putting out there as Hard Facts is willfully misrepresented, if not straight up dangerous

While it might not be the only cause of the increase, the closure of Prairie Harm Reduction & the loss of those services has to be a very significant reason for the increase.

If the actor with British accent is evil then you’re watching Sci fi. If the actor with a British accent is good then it’s Fantasy. If the actor with a British accent knocks something over then it’s a Rom com.

in a way, isn’t causing men to crash out before she’s even done anything just proof that Lupita is perfect for Helen of Troy

They're marketing the new Secret Lair as "Cats Are The Best" and not "Magic as Garfield Intended"?? What are we doing here?

I wrote about Middlebury College students disaffiliating with Hillel, and the inherent contradictions between Hillel's desire to be a big tent organization for all Jews on campus and its desire to draw boundaries around acceptable Jewish politics. forward.com/opinion/8254... Gut Shabbos, everyone.

we just put up episode 4 of THE HISTORY OF CHARGING THE MOUND free to watch on youtube. this one's about george bell, who had both one of the best and one of the worst fight performances in baseball history

"The only thing happening faster than the federal rollback of climate policies is the global renewable energy revolution that will turn all of these concessions to Big Oil into a massive lost opportunity to build a better, safer Canada." www.greenpeace.org/canada/en/st...

This is not a "controversy" or a "dispute" about casting. It's a racist position being echoed and amplified by other racists. Journalists need to learn to use the word "racist" much more freely; right now, too many publications treat it as unprovable unless self-reported.

😈 THE GOBLIN THRONE PT. III BEGINS TODAY! From now til the end of the finale, I'll be posting a page a day here: thegoblinthrone.com I also drew a little FAQ:

Today is Nakba Day, when we commemorate the roughly 750,000 Palestinians who were forcibly displaced by Zionist militias during the 1948 Palestine War. Acknowledging the Nakba and making restitution is the precursor to building a better future for everyone living in the region.

I need a 4K resto box set of this show STAT. However ready you think you are for this video, I can assure you that you're not ready.

I stopped the @lingthusiasm.com production meeting to make @superlinguo.bsky.social listen to These Are The Daves I Know when she was talking about several people named Dave because somehow she hadn't heard it before? So in case that's you, BOY do I have a CanCon classic for you to enjoy

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

This so rarely happens, but the New Yorker recently had a poem I like a lot. Morgan Parker; “Meanwhile It Rains for Two Weeks and the Heat Never Breaks”
