This doesn't just have resonance with today's repressive Christian cultures, it's a devastating critique of hundreds of years of storytelling of "rescuing" women who don't want to be rescued because life fucking sucks for them back in "civilization." substack.com/home/post/p-...

Cheap cardboard Nuremberg rally literally blown away by Global Warming hyperstorm — exactly the cyberpunk schadenfreude I needed to lift my spirits this day.

My sister Melanie took me to the Kennedy Space Center on July 4th, 1976. It was her 22nd birthday and America's 200th. An incredible day which I'll remember forever...

Happy birthday, Debbie Harry!

Zephyr’s Monday steez

The thing about right wingers “entertainment” - Trump events, alternative halftime shows, their movies, their “comedians” - is that it’s so bad that even right wingers don’t want to endure it. They want it to exist, just to Trigger Libs. But they don’t want to sit through it. They know what it is.

I suffered a herniated vertebrae earlier this month. The local dispensary recommended a strain named Northern Lights to mitigate the pain. I’m currently standing on my balcony wondering how many of these buildings will still be here 100 years from now. Will there be something taller? Weirder?

Overheard at the coffee shop: Man waiting for his drink: "So how come there's no 'Straight Pride Parade?'" Woman behind counter: "There is. It's called Mardi Gras." Thank you Oakland!

It pleases me to learn that more people showed up to the 5th annual Yakama Nation Lamprey Celebration on the Willamette River yesterday than have shown up to every day of Trump‘s “Great American State Fair.”

The sign I carried in the San Francisco Trans March tonight. #sftransmarch2026

I’m in that paradoxical state where an introvert goes to a loud & vibrant gay bar in the heart of the Castro, drinks one martini, and feels utterly in tune with the noise/music/clamor of the situation. Happy Pride, my friends! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🌞

Too many things from my childhood are turning 45 this month.

It’s not hyperbole that part of what kept the queer liberation movement going in the Reagan era was the partying part of the “bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance at night” schedule. Without joy there is no air left to fight

Fingers crossed for violent thunderstorms in DC tonight…

My problem with the White House thunderdome isn’t that it’s “vulgar,” or “tacky,” qualities I often enjoy & terms which are often crudely classist when used pejoratively. My problem, as always, is the fascism. Don’t get distracted by taste, which is deeply subjective; it’s the fascism.

Not only can you pet stray cats in the Lego Batman game, but you can tell whoever animated that interaction has cats because whoever you're playing as will stop to let the cat smell their hand before petting.

Sorry to have been so quiet these past several months. Currently seeking memory care for my mother, which has become a second full time job.

Happy birthday Scott!!! @scottmccloud.bsky.social

"When we destroy variety, we render mutual modeling pointless; we zero out the value of encounter; we curtail the possibilities for our own continued development." — Blaise Aguera y Arcas, "What is Intelligence?"

Go home Pantone, you’re drunk. #PantoneColoroftheYear

While I’m happy about last Tuesday‘s elections, I still can’t shake the feeling that the interval between now and the 2026 midterms is going to be the LONGEST fucking year of our lives.

We're all going to write pieces about what you can learn from tonight but it's actually pretty simple: The frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

Look out fascists, the new zoo review is coming straight at YOU!

When you read an important passage in a book, but you don’t have a highlighter or sticky index tab handy so you dribble some coffee on the page. ☕️ EMPIRE OF AI by Karen Hao, 2025, Penguin Press

Sign design for upcoming ICE protest. Think they’ll get the message?

Holy fucking shit READ THIS BOOK!

This week’s reading: Automatic Noodle by @ghidorahnotweak Empire of AI by Karen Hao Lo Tek Design by Radical Indigenism, Julia Watson Outwitting the Gestapo by Lucie Aubrac

In the hubbub of last week, it seems we all forgot to memorialize Robert Redford as being the BEST fictional president in US history, according to the 2019 Watchmen TV series. #Redfordations, baby!

#inktober Day 1: I’ve decided I’m not going to follow the prompts this year and instead I’m going to draw eldritch horrors from the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Madness and horror are totally in this year, have you heard?

“What is SOBRIETY, Pete Hegseth?”

I sure hope there is a drag king somewhere named Big Beautiful Bill.

I feel about Trump the way I felt about my sister’s cancer. I just want him to GO AWAY and stop threatening people I love.

I lived in Portland for six years and the most violent thing I ever saw there was this wallpaper…

From the desk of “Never Wrong” Sarah Jeong:

May peace prevail #uninternationaldayofpeace

If you're looking for a positive governmental effort to engage with, here's a good one: 19thnews.org/2025/09/lgbt...

I was looking for a sign.

Let ABC know how you feel about their bowing to the thugs in power and cancelling Jimmy Kimmel's show: support.abc.com/hc/en-us/req...

I love Alien Earth as much as you do, but if we don’t all cancel our Disney+ accounts ASAP we’re gonna be living in that dystopia for realsies. Send a message. #StandWithJimmyKimmel

I don't have enough knowledge so can you tell me has there ever been a "think-tank" that wasn't just a boy band for enforcing the status quo

@dylanmeconis.bsky.social This photo of the kittehs just popped up in my memories feed today. I sure miss these two!

They say don’t feed the trolls, but HOLY TOLEDO, I actually got a transphobe to concede her bigotry was cruel and unjustified today. Perhaps there is hope.

It's like staying up late to see if Santa is real but we're hoping Santa's dead

Bluesky right now ...

Happy birthday to Liz Fraser, vocalist for the #CocteauTwins and patron goddess of every 1980s college dorm ecstasy orgy.
