Still hurts. It's stupid but it does.

it's 2016: north carolina introduces a bill to ban trans people from using bathrooms safely. there's a national outcry; companies withdraw business up to and including the NCAA cancelling a publicized game. the bill fails. it's 2026: kansas passes a law nullifying trans people's licenses. crickets.

@katelynburns.com hi. Hope you're ok!

"forgive them they know not what they do." "Well of course they don't know. You don't tell them." "I don't want them to feel bad."

it/she pronouns be like

I've certainly looked worse.

I dunno man, every next day feels like the pit and the pendulum

I don't know. Now I feel bad for my influences lol. I'm stupid emotional when I'm sad and in pain.

Anyway. I think the med stopped the migraine. Is it a migraine? I don't know.

Wow and I always thought the most damning citation of Larry Summers was the epigraph from *Slow Violence and the Environmentalism of the Poor* (2011)

i keep hearing that we can't do cool or good things because it's economically nonviable, and then i get hit in the face with this

'at least the taliban know what a woman is' - jk rowling

Sometimes I see or hear someone talk about community. Don't understand. I guess. Idk.

Who is watching the SOTU? Who would rather sit on a dildo made of balsa wood?

"Identity politics... you know, pronouns" serves the same dogwhistle if the fascist saying it wears red or blue.

It's fascinating to see the way Epstein has slid off the news headlines over the past week. There are even Epstein _related_ news item on the top headlines....

Sometimes I write a post that I regret, like, 15 minutes later. When I can't find it to delete, I hope I forget to press "Post."

Gig economy some city services like snow removal or trash cleanup. I guess maybe? @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

epstein and the epstein class were so fucking desperate for validation they funded a cranberry bog of academics to explain why they were the master race, but yeah sure. it's women who only care about being admired

I've been thinking the on again off again Transgender Agenda show I've had in my head for years is limited by the over-all sitcom structure and I think it could be a sketch show but most of the sketches are with recurring characters.

I guess I've decided to just be cringe.

many are saying: woims

Huge mood

The "Drew and Kellie Disagree Politically" episode feels really...quaint.

The NYT message is: "If they just stop identifying as transgender, then they won't face any persecution at all! So, in a way, it's really trans identified individuals making a choice to suffer needlessly by persisting in their delusion."

This article begins "After a year in which the Trump administration has pressed to limit the ways Americans can identify as transgender in public life...". "Identify as transgender". If that doesn't give away the New York Times' whole game, I don't know what will. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/u...

The concept here is to get well-heeled travelers to pressure the government to restore secret police funding

Holy shit @wired.com story written by a woman positioning gay men as insidious and suggesting this marginalized group is suppressing the success of straight men in the industry. They've got tons of anonymous sources (what's their agenda?) and in the first graph they even say this might not be true!

Let's watch Carrie Fisher and Chevy Chase in Under the Rainbow. It's a #SurpriseMovie!

Stop. He's gonna make me want to be Catholic again.

This is why all those moron liberals waving off Newsom’s anti-trans position as “just about sports” are catastrophically wrong. Fuck that guy and fuck anyone defending that move. We all know where it’s headed

Hire trans staff writers, assign stories to trans freelancers, permit us to actually cover ourselves (for once). Or how about this one: Hire trans editors, there's an idea.

My two cents: Cis editors should be assigning trans reporters to write about trans folks right now.

I like podcasts but I hate when I feel like they're my friends because I know they're not going to talk to me. I always know I'm apart. But it is tempting to let go and fall into it. Of course, that's how you get cults.

This has all been very deliberately ginned up. Like most moral panics, this one has not been "organic". It's been fueled deliberately by political parties running transphobic candidates and airing transphobic ads. Angry after gay marriage passed, conservatives chose trans people as a new target.

I had a CT scan. Doctor said it was unremarkable. They didn't tell me I was pretty on the inside. 😭

I know what it is! Like seeing the face of a God you don't believe in after dying.

You know.... It's like I don't know if anything I'm doing is gonna "make it," but if I can just make some cool stuff, I think that's ok.

The world feels like we're NPCs in a game of multi-player version of AdVanture Capitalist and some of them just hit a new tier.

The Scion of Oklahoma City’s largest McDonald’s franchisee family pissed himself at a peaceful anti-ICE protest in Mustang, OK this week when he tried to start shit and attacked protestors

While I don't know if America will make it beyond this current administration...I'm still bullish on humanity as a whole.

Former British Royal Fucks Around, Finds Out. Andrew's first post arrest picture.

Sloptocracy: Government by content-farmers.

They're gonna look in my brain this weekend. So that's neat/cool/terrifying. Like... With X-rays and stuff. I hope.

Not critiquing. Asking is there a trans troupe/show? I mean... I think it'd be cool. At least for me to imagine I could be in it lol.

I spent my childhood inside of American concentration camps. I know one when I see one. And that is what ICE is building.

I have been writing an essay on a hypothesis on the development of language. It's silly. But so many people talk about things they don't know, so why not me?

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Here’s the latest episode of Better Offline. I’m joined by @junlper.beer, @birdrespecter.bsky.social and @arif.bsky.social to talk about prediction markets, silicon valley’s billionaire whiners, and how Anthropic defines “profitable.” podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/b... Linktr.ee/betteroffline
