Holy shit finally an Op-Ed that Gets It

My rule is if it scrolls off my mentions I'm done engaging, I'm too stoned for this

A reminder that this anti-trans panic is 100% bullshit and exactly none of our country’s problems are related to someone expressing their gender identity and everyone who isn’t a hate-filled weirdo knows it.

Having shitty, corrupt, thuggish cops is expensive. Not for the cops I mean. But for the taxpayers.

Hi. I’ve been editor-in-chief of Teen Vogue for the last 4.5 years — a dream job, one I never thought a Brown girl from small town Louisiana might hold. I am so incredibly proud of the work we’ve done and what we accomplished. Our journalism has won major awards. (cont’d)

Hell is not punishment enough for Andrew Wakefield.

Think about buying a car, a fun, stress-free negotiating process that everybody loves. Now imagine that if you don’t buy a car you die and if you buy the wrong car you also die

hear me out: victorian strongwomen are an entire beautiful vibe

The ICP probably deserves an apology from all of us who scoffed. Turns out the Juggalos were just kind, gentle, faygo loving people smart enough to be president and there's not one of them who wouldn't do a better job.

Some Guild friends set up a fundraiser to help the illegally terminated employees while we fight back www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

Accountability, justice, and punishment are NOT synonymous and I need people to understand that. I don't want people who wrong me to have their lives made worse. First, that doesn't benefit me in the slightest. And second, you can't punish someone into empathy. You only punish someone into fear.

We don‘t know how magnets work

Everyone is dunking on Kim Kardashian. The truth is the California bar is notoriously hard, the pass rate was only 55%, the pass rate for people who didn‘t go to an accredited law school is way lower, and lots of very smart and dedicated people don’t pass the first time and become good lawyers.

Musk: i reada da frankenstein Mary Shelley: motherfucker Shelley: you better not get this one wrong Shelley: i literally could not spell it out any more obviously Mus: itsa about how meddling in da domain ova god is good! Shelley: MOTHER Shelley: FUCKER

It all sucks! But the people who are your enemies are in the WH, not the people who are just trying to fucking survive. There's nothing wrong with a civil servant being desperate to get back to work and get their backpay. Check your fucking fire.

If you haven’t suffered through houselessness, financial stress, or food scarcity — if you have never faced trials of adversity out of your control — Unkindly shut the fuck up trying to speak on it as if it were a lived experience for you.

challenge level: impossible

The ACA fucking *sucks*, is a national shame, is confoundingly cruel and ineffective and insufficient and, also, simultaneously is SO MUCH MORE PREFERABLE to pre-ACA American healthcare it's not even close.

I saw a post that said “If alternative kids could let go of Marilyn Manson, you can let go of Harry Potter” and now that lives rent free in my head. Trans rights are human rights.

Your Cherokee words for today. The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically. Long ago there was a famine period that hit one clan of Cherokee called the Ani-Tsa Guhi (ahnee-Jha Goohee)

Unclench your jaw. Relax your brow. Go get a drink of water. See if you've taken your meds Eat something. Doesn't matter what you look like right now, i think you look amazing. Because you do. You're a wonderful person. And have this. 🫂🖤 you did great today. You made it through

Reminder: Today, you will take care of yourself first. That includes your mind and spirit. At this moment, you're doing the best you can and living your best life. This situation may be hard, but you have the strength to rise above it. They fear that strength. I'm proud of you

*deep breath* Young people’s ignorance of how homophobic American society was 30 years ago is a welcome sign of progress. Young people’s ignorance of how homophobic American society was 30 years ago is a welcome sign of progress. Young people’s ignorance of how homophobic American society was 30 y

Did you read Alexander Mackendrick's book when you were a film student? He talks about the difference between action and activity in animation and drama - action having a beginning and an end, a kind of story to it. This Ai stuff just feels like activity. Nothing *happens*.

I wish more of this could be taken as proof for why SNAP and WIC are critical and a functional government is a better distributor or critical resources than every tiny nonprofit entity being asked to suddenly replace that infrastructure.

IQ is stored in the skin if you're racist and balls if you're misogynistic.

all of this is also true for sexism. you tell me you think women are biologically less smart and i’ll suspect that i could probably convince you to drink your own piss

bring back maligning racism as the mark of a stupid person. prejudice is the mark of an idiot. if you believe that shit i bet you also don’t wipe your ass

apropos james watson’s death i had an idle thought today about how stupid race/iq stuff sounds. “buh if your skin is darker you are biologically less smart” is a thing only a dumbass can believe

Axios tried to bust James Talarico for following adult content creators on Instagram and I'm genuinely impressed by his campaign's response

Correct If the reform focuses on ICE because they're the Big Baddies in the popular mind, it'll completely miss the fact that the actual worst actor (so far) and the one with an internal culture most prone to be trumpist brownshirts is the BP

Justice KBJ is a brilliant strategist. She is working the rules to compel timely review of the stay in the SNAP case by both the Circuit Court and by the Supreme Court. This is why knowing which SCOTUS justice has supervision of the Circuit you file in is essential. www.reuters.com/world/us/usd...

yeah like one real benefit of having that many influential haters is that everyone in New York can sleep pretty soundly at night knowing their new mayor has never done anything they might later wish they’d known up front, or it would be all we heard about for the last month

Tonight’s dumb napkin cartoon…

For @teenvogue.com I wrote about the death of trans athlete Lia Smith and how trans youth kind themselves with central pillars of their lives being constantly ripped away from them because of politics. www.teenvogue.com/story/politi...

The discussion here in comments is related to the discussions about TV production I have seen. When DVDs became easy to buy, programs could suddenly start to assume you could buy older seasons. Bingeing a season at a time became a format to design for.

Hold up. I just saw an ad for the Muppet Christmas Carol VHS tape (I presume 1993). It said $22.99. Did people really pay $23 in 90s money for tapes?! (We were poor, we only had a few and some probably bootlegged ones.)

Do you think Trump got excited about 50 year mortgages because 50 is a bigger number than 30

Over the summer I remembered that Hedwig was A Big Fucking Deal, and how regulating this track is for me. It's perfect actually.

when talking about accessibility and ALT text i think it’s important to note that some people (like myself) use it to mute things that can cause health problems.

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.

After lots of well-guided speculation, we now have proof that far-right propagandists in Portland have been directly coordinating—through at least text message—with ICE agents. In this case, Chelly got permission from a "Travis D." inside to stand on a half-wall off limits to protesters.
