Came to Burien for the dentist but turns out it’s Pride so your girl is mingling and enjoying herself

I don't like sports all that much and might start following basketball more when the Sonics come back, but I will always, always, always cheer for anyone playing a team from Texas, Florida, or Tennessee.

I’m debating a move in the novel and interested in feedback. The Tilkumby (people’s cities) Union exists in confederation with S’Klalahee, an indigenous, self governed territory across the Sea of Krakens But, like, how revolutionary are these cities? Demsoc? AnCom? Syndicalist? I’m open to a few

Imagine being so unable to love your child that you set fire to the whole damn world instead.

10 years ago, I was doing Nomi’s monologue from episode 1 of Sense8 in the mirror for voice training every day. What a difference a decade makes.

It’s Pride, bitch youtube.com/shorts/8z60t...

Happy pride everyone! Thrilled to be able to say I will probably find a way to go to at least two if not three pride events this year since Port Townsend, Sequim, and Port Angeles are all staggering them

There is a familiar mistake make ... She's still the same MTG.

Wish I could get a good pic of this French braid my new friend gave me. It’s so pretty I started crying and then had to explain to her no one has ever braided my hair before. It contrasts nice with the punk flannel over tank top vibe Sometimes you gotta touch grass and vibe with cool ladies irl

I love my online friends dearly and love my voice calls with them, but there’s something about finding irl community with queer, autistic, nerdy irl women at a fantasy sleep over. Getting my hair braided by a lesbian married to a folk musician who studies Old Testament sexual ethics might fix me.

We have reached the point where gender essentialism and cargo cult masculinity have reached their inevitable end. If you don’t sufficiently perform gender to the standard of the Deep One looking, hate nerd, that’s also along the same spectrum of fear and contempt.

Good morning to everyone stumbling through 2026

I bring a sort of blue hair and pronouns vibe to the grocery store that the hopeless, class consciousness lacking schmucks gathering signatures against the millionaires tax don’t really like

Returning to the military hospital for my quarterly annual physical. A bunch of new doctors want to watch me do the cognitive test that demonstrates I absolutely shouldn't get my driver's license taken away. Obviously the word has gotten around that I'm doing some incredible work there.

Looks like Trump is going to try the same sleight of hand Obama used to take credit, and then be pilloried for, record deportations. Turns out if you count border patrol apprehensions as deportation, you can really juice those numbers. www.axios.com/2026/05/21/t...

a funny thing about the US coal industry is that O'Reilly Auto Parts, a company that is *never* mentioned in national political discourse, employs more people than the ENTIRE US coal industry

UPDATE: The Colorado Democratic Party's central committee is now considering a measure to censure or otherwise punish Gov Jared Polis (D) for giving clemency to Tina Peters. I'll thread details here.

I sure hope AI is still around after I finish a few creative writing courses, because magical generative AI is what a cult of evil, sadistic, capitalists who want to destroy the world are using when their first plan fails and I don't want to be out of date writing an AI hate polemic.

My handsome little cowriter actually behaving

The U.K. is the warning for us in the states. We have no reason to believe that under a Newsom administration, this won't be the line coming out of DoJ or HHS. Even if it's not, an administration not willing to fight red states on this would establish transphobia as a bipartisan consensus.

So, fantasy fans, I'm trying to work on a hard magic system but I'm not really sure precisely how to go about it. Folk magic exists and it's easy to do once you're shown how, everyone knows a little bit of magic you either learned at home or at work, but it's the university stuff I'm fighting with

One thing I think Thomas Massie's defeat showed for all the people who were took in by third positionist media grifters out to boost their profile and make a buck, that there is no not some untapped, right wing populist mass to align with. It's hogs all the way down

This is why Never Newsom. If he is the nominee I am not voting for the Democrats. The Democratic party is not perfect, it's not even good, but if someone apathetic or hostile to trans concerns is the nominee, they're on the path to becoming Labour.

*sigh* DoorDash is objectively not the most affordable way for a single person to eat but it can be necessary with people living with disabilities or chronic pain. I have had to DoorDash or Instacart many, many times because I have a cervicogenic headache and everything hurts but I need to eat.

People who think Ben Gvir is the exception rather than the norm when he is literally a minister of government are just as delusional as a child

God, it's so annoying to see posts from people talking about how awesome he was when he literally used his dying breath to go after trans people, a continuation of decades of being an antagonist.

This was basically Barney Frank when it came to trans people for the past two decades:

Got the hospital bill today. It’s not great but it’s going to be survivable and not as devastating as I feared. I’ll be going to Olympic Medical Center early next month to get the payment plan in writing. Then it’s time to help other conures in need.

I feel like Elon arrived at 50 posts and 200 replies because he thinks he uses Twitter a normal amount and fifty posts would be too few for most people.

redesigning my transmasc grumpy saytr W.I.P #badgerart

Decent morning so far, saw my little sister graduate and then calculated out enrollment numbers for, name subject to change, Arkandam University. A half mage college and half strategic arms/wizards control treaty requires a lot of balancing to prevent a wizard gap. There must not be a wizard gap.

He’s offended because The Odyssey is about something near and dear to him: being an absent father while chasing vanity for 20 years

R.I.P. JUNIPER BLESSING.

people still want to act like nihilism is cool but it is actually bullshit compliance. humans are not going away. we get to decide if future generations suffer or if they live free. hope is punk as fuck. our oppressors want us to believe we have no power and nothing is possible. it’s not true.

FYI: That image being shared around, the one where the government is trying to define trans people as terrorists? It's been edited. The stuff is all in there, yes, but two paragraphs have been put together to make it look as scary as possible. THIS IS EXTREMELY IRRESPONSIBLE, DO NOT FUCKING DO THIS

Mipha flew over to the couch today and flew back to their cage across the room. Our new baby had their wings clipped their whole life before we brought them home so it’s a joy to watch them get stronger.

One of the reasons I’ve been sympathetic to “lesser evilism” is I’ve live in a de facto one party red state in TN and a de facto one party blue state in WA and while it’s not perfect here, it beats the alternative. Tennessee just went and made themselves a de jure one party state.

It looks like the butter cow from the Iowa state fair. Honestly, something soft and wet might be the perfect material to sculpt Trump out of.

There is no more powerful argument against remaining on Twitter than seeing these dispatches from leftists you sort of recognize from ten years ago who don't realize they are morphing into Pat Buchanan

MTG was cool with everything until Trump didn’t endorse her for Senate. She “gave up her office” only after she enriched herself through insider trading and qualified for a pension. I don’t care what she says because she’s proven herself to be untrustworthy.

How do you get rid of deep, almost bruise like in intensity shadows under you eyes. I did some color correction, concealer, foundation and nothing works. Please do not tell me to sleep through the night. I will not be doing that and you were a fool to think I would.

The Strait of Hormuz has shown renewable energy investment is paramount to national security. It’s not a hippy dippy luxury. Oil dependence is a geopolitical risk.

And it was just a bill from my GP I already paid. I just want to get this financial devastation over with

there's no marcomentum, stop trying to make marcomentum happen.

Thanks the USPS informed delivery, I think the hospital bill is coming in today. At least now I can go, get the itemized bill from them and negotiate a payment plan probably sometime next week. I'm going to be expecting to be paying this one off for a few years.

Fascists succeed in general because they are willing to take stuff, break rules, get violent, while most of their opponents are not Fascists lose, in general, because they pick (at least) one fight too many with someone they didn't expect to fight back

It’s Crowpotkin day

🚨URGENT🚨 Please stop ✋🚨 you're the only hope to save a child🥺 My heart aches for Amal. Her son is fighting for his life after being shot by an Israeli drone. He needs urgent evacuation outside Gaza. Even $5 can help give him a chance lease help save him and share. chuffed.org/project/019c...
