The IOC has announced a trans and intersex athlete ban requiring an invasive SRY genetic test for female athletes. In the 20+ years trans women were eligible, only one ever competed and none ever medaled. This is solving for a problem that doesn't exist. www.nbcnews.com/sports/olymp...

The annual observance marks how far into the new year women must work to make what men earned in the previous year. This year, it's March 26, a day later than it was in 2025. n.pr/4t9rLqU

I encourage you to reach late middle age by any means necessary if for no other reason than to find out just how primo the naps are. No matter how much you like naps now you will not believe it

The Harry Potter Show gives money to Rowling who uses her cash to go after a tiny population of humanity that is being scapegoated for conservative votes. Find a new fucking hobby.

JUST IN: Democrats tonight have flipped a GOP-held state House seat in Florida. And not just any seat: This is the district that contains Mar-a-Lago. (It voted for Trump by 11% in 2024). That's right: Trump will now be represented by a Democrat, Emily Gregory, in Tallahassee.

dear r.e.m., well, here we are and i in fact do not feel fine.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

- Pace yourself - don’t go too crazy - no fedposting - stay on top of regulating your nervous system - act local - find people who’ve been doing the work and ask how you can help - tend to the myriad biological needs we need as confused little apes - give grace to dysregulated people on your side

Philadelphia International Airport is among those that will receive ICE agents, according to a document obtained by the New York Times.

Come hang out with @thetravelinggoblin.bsky.social @havanarama.bsky.social and myself for another Sunday night Palia with pals. Plus you can get all your new @playpalia.com Twitch drops!! Twitch.tv/FaunAndGames

None of our problems are solved with more ICE agents. The last thing we need is ICE at airports terrorizing the traveling public. (1/2)

In honor of Mr. Rogers’ birthday, here’s your regularly scheduled reminder that the quote of his you keep sharing, that in times of crisis we should look for the helpers, was for his audience of children. We’re adults now. We’re supposed to *be* the helpers.

Only countries with dictators and royalty have images of living people on their coins, fyi

The announcement makes State Rep. Chris Rabb the favorite among the city’s left-leaning organizations to take the seat long held by U.S. Rep. Dwight Evans.

"Star Trek is out of production for the first time in ten years! Starfleet Academy killed the franchise!" The studio ordered season 2 of SFA before the first had even premiered. There are TWO more seasons of SNW to be released. There's a new movie in development. It's not dead. Be serious.

Am exhausted this morning. Eyes keep doing the slow blink. Really hoping I didn’t accidentally take my nighttime meds. 🙃🙃🙃

Happy Sheelah's Day. This feast, largely no longer celebrated in Ireland, commemorates either St Patrick's wife or mother, who probably didn't exist. So let's celebrate a similarly-named mysterious figure today instead: the sheela na gig!

Happy St. Patrick's Day, my rebels

Sharing my personal St. Patrick’s Day tradition: The Great Hunger resulted in the death of 1mil Irish and the emigration of another million. Every year I donate to an organization that fights hunger in memory of those lost. Please consider doing the same. 💚☘️

Coming March 17th, it will once again be Dangerous to go Alone: We've all been there. You go on an adventure. (as you do) Get knocked unconscious. (as you do) Wake up on a weird island. (as you do) And even though you just got there, for some reason everyone needs your help? With... 🧵

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

“Come out ye' black and tans! Come out and fight me like a man! Show your wife how you won medals down in Flanders! Tell her how the IRA, made you run like hell away, from the green and lovely lanes of Killeshandra!” Know the song? Do you know where they went after Ireland? Palestine.

Happy St Patrick's Day to the Irish-American tradition that's about solidarity with oppressed peoples and opposition to imperialism, and *NOT* to the part that's about integration into American whiteness via exercises in domineering racism.

Every year around St. Patrick's Day, I see a bunch of left-ish folks (mostly neo-pagan Americans) asserting that when ol' Patricius "drove out the snakes," he was actually genociding a bunch of indigenous Irish people. This is ahistorical bullshit, and it also misses the fucking point.

First of all, we have firsthand written accounts of the man's life. So there's proof that it's nonsense. But this "genocidal St. Patrick" theory also erases the radical notion that one can have compassion for one's captors — and that people of different faiths can live side-by-side and get along.

That, and it lets the Brits off easy. There were centuries between the death of St. Patrick and the English invasion where Christianity and indigenous Irish belief systems intertwined and co-existed. St. Patrick wasn't the one who tried to violently de-Gaelicize the island. We know who that was.

'Tis the season!

Poor little dude is sick which means he’s likely out of daycare again this full week. :( I’m watching him at home but unfortunately that means no paycheck. I gotta get a side hustle.
