This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke... Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

Interesting, mine has gotten exponentially worse because I look at myself thinking "jesus, these people can get a platform and an audience, but I can't? I must suck!" (gotta love Major Depressive Disorder)

bringing this statement over from Alice’s Twitter. it appears the below was Alice’s last post before passing. I am heartbroken

Rest in Power, Alice. You never gave up on advocating for your community and yourself.

OK Megyn Kelly's transparent attempt to protect Trump from accusations of raping children by engaging in "well actually, the proper term is..." discourse is revolting. AND, crude speculations about her teen daughter are also creepy and revolting. She is an actual adolescent human being, folks.

“Cancel culture” is what horrible people call accountability.

Support union workers and especially unionized journalists, whose profession is being absolutely gutted by capital.

I can't tell if we're talking about a Senator's health or the new Frankenstein film.

It’s Transgender Awareness Week! We’re highlighting trans folks who are sharing their brilliance, supporting community, and excelling in their fields. They are making an impact each day by living authentically and stepping into their power - real people a making real impact; we love to see us shine!

For some reason, every anti-Katie-Wilson commenter on the West Seattle Blog speaks in exactly this accent, which is weird because Seattle has never been on the East Coast.

The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

It's getting cold in a lot of places. You can send a case of 50 gloves, men's undies, women's undies, stocking caps, or socks to your nearest shelter, mutual aid group, or community closet for between $45 and $75. bagsinbulk.com

Well done Katie Wilson!

I loved Wonder Woman as a kid in the 70s, had a cheap bagged costume, flew around in my invisible jet with my Lasso of Truth (a jumprope), twirling around for my quick-change. I love that my hero then is still such an inspiring person now.

Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50. “Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

New pinned post! The Wondermark-themed card game I've been working on all year long, Bolted!, is coming to life on Kickstarter NOV 12. If you missed the first pre-order round this spring, now's your first, best, only and last chance to reserve a copy!

Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries. No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.

Fortunately the sun is out in Seattle today, so as I start to dig my own grave in the backyard, at least my face will be briefly warm.

This is the joke I needed to hear today.

Seattlites, check to make sure your vote was counted! Katie Wilson needs every vote.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

F'ing trash paper NYT now running OpEds from those absolute losers, my cats

Top-notch set of responses.

I have absolutely no interest in middle ground or compromise on any human rights, for roughly the same reasons that I have absolutely no interest in allowing a leopard to eat only *part* of my face.

PLEASE put somebody in handcuffs Judge McConnell, PLEASE

"and you are back at Man Ray dancing to the Sisters of Mercy..." FUCK OFF MCSWEENEY'S IT WAS JUST THAT ONE TIME

Not-so-gentle reminder that lower prices for GLP-1 are a good thing for those who need them and / or want to use them to reduce weight; lower drug prices are not an excuse to bully people into using them because EVERYONE MUST BE THIN.

My ex-wife and I went through this process in the 90s and it was a nightmare THEN.

If you’d like a great lift me-up this afternoon in reflection of yesterday’s exciting stuff, here’s three hours of inspiring stuff from @djjohnrichards.bsky.social at KEXP in Seattle, choose the morning show from this morning and enjoy www.kexp.org/archive/

I unironically welcome our new socialist overlord

NYT op-eds featured this morning. "These are not serious people."

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

I have spent a lot of time today trying not to tell off people I am really tired of, so I will heartily turn all of that self-restraint loose at this time, and say to billionaire racists and their supporters: GET ABSOLUTELY FUCKED.

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

What a night. From VA to NJ to PA to NYC. You love to see it. Good job everybody. Good trouble.

Oh no, awful stuff - thinking of my L'ville folks and the community.

This should be the centerpiece of its own special exhibition.

Two things can be true at the same time: neither charities nor mutual aid groups have the capacity to completely replace SNAP benefits for November, *and* we should still do as much as we can to feed people and save lives.

People WANT this. A good product is a good business decision!

Basically, every single person who has ever waxed lyrical about the value of exposure to opposing viewpoints has actually been talking about *you* being exposed to *their* views and literally nothing else.

Wow this is terrible news.

Zut alors!

Hahaha we were in Osaka in 2024, and the Expo merch was everywhere! We brought home a couple of pieces for friends. (This is from the annual "mundane Halloween costumes" competition in Japan.)
