Good morning from Lake Huron

In honor of the discussion we've been having about Black patronage appointments from Republican administrations, re-upping this:

if you're transgender you have to live

Grammarian and Errorist are at it again! 🖊️

After much deliberation and a grueling interview process, I’m pleased to announce that I’ve accepted a new job and will not need any financial support from my parents to cover the high costs of childcare going forward. #AmericanDream #ThisIsYourCity

Not Sure How They Deal With Criminals In Your Town, But ’Round Here We Use A Restorative Justice Process

ZOMG LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE SHALE Okay, so the Burgess Shale is a fossil bed in British Columbia that contains a whole bunch of fossils of weirdass creatures from the Cambrian era, over 500 million years ago. But the great thing about the shale is that it has fossilized SOFT PARTS!

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

This is so good. I love me some good writing about music, and this is of the highest order.

Btwn this and the fedora kid from the Louvre, potential YA pitches are having a helluva week

Just have to listen to this one every now and again. youtu.be/uDZpzJ2KKss?...

Unlike you, I can read and that’s why I know what the constitution says.

How do you calculate the molecular weight of guacamole? By using Avocado's Number.

@peters.senate.gov If you're a yes on this, you may as well retire now. You are not representing the desires of your constituents. If you listen to them, you'll do the right thing. Do the right thing.

@slotkin.senate.gov I understand you are a no vote on this capitulation. If that's correct, thank you. Please work on @peters.senate.gov to get him to no too.

Ok, Michigan peeps, give Peters and Slotkin a call. Light them up. Slotkin: 202-224-4822 Peters: 202-224-6221

Relating to Spider-Man at 19: I too am underemployed, unsure how to pursue girls, and trying to find my place in the adult world. Relating to Galactus at 42: I am from an unrecognizable previous millennium, hungry all the time, everything hurts and I live with a tiny person who won’t do what I ask.

To all my sex worker and sw-adjacent followers, your work is valid, you are entitled to participate fully in society, and those who would shame you should fuck off into the sun forever.

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Oh for fucks sake. Just let people fucking live their lives.

From the Guardian. Cartoonist Ella Baron.

Just called Elissa Slotkin and Gary Peters' offices to point out last night's election results and that people don't want them to compromise but want them to fight. If you have a Senator in the group of 8 trying to reopen the government and give a blank check to Trump, you should call them too.

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Republican pundits tonight: youtu.be/d6v3vKeg1Ws?...

Early reports from the front lines of right-wing media tonight are starting to trickle in. We’re being told “hoes mad”

Detroit City Council President Mary Sheffield will become the first woman to be mayor of the city.

Republicans who think your seat is safe: no it's not

Call your Senators, especially if you're in Michigan or New Hampshire which have 2 of these people each.

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson. I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.

"On two occasions I have been asked, 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'... I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." Charles Babbage, inventor of the mechanical computer, 1864

All right, I'm kicking off the next batch of listings with a trio of high-quality, digitally restored Mexican WW2 propaganda posters Based on my search, I think that I may very well be the first to offer the quoted one, "Rumbo a la Victoria", for online purchase wideawakes.army 👁️

A knock-out performance that should not be lost to time is the legendary Levi Stubbs performing “Mean Green Mother From Outer Space” from Little Shop Of Horrors with a giant Audrey II looking behind him (shout-out to the puppeteers) at the 1987 Academy Awards ceremony…

“My tax dollars are paying for their steak!” Yeah, well, my tax dollars are paying for ICE to threaten and abduct my neighbors. Steak sounds better.

Another day of terrifying people trick or treating. Several people avoided my house. I'm evidently a very scary oogie boogie.

I am describing my politics as “arachno-communism” from now on

I don't think this requires further comment from me.

Yes, the Grink *was* there. He was there for *me*, Bryan, in ways you haven’t been. And, you know, it’s just so fucking *you* to keep bringing him up like it’s some kind of gotcha. This was never about me or my mistakes, it’s about your insecurity and I’m sick of it. At least the Grink was *there*
