We looked at Desmond's case when I was in law school. Another true bad ass.

There is just so much bad ass Black History. I wish I could take Black History college classes every term for about 20 years.

I cannot tell you how much I would pay to see Bad Bunny bring Liam "Good Bunny" Ramos up on stage at the halftime show.

Yeah. I didn't fully understand what I could gain from transition until after a few months of HRT when it became obvious how much better my brain worked on estrogen vs. testosterone. There was no way to explain the need to try it.

I'm sorry, is the NYT billionaire free news? Really?

Fantastic and timely.

I know hockey fans can appreciate the game just fine without it, but as a non-fan among many non-fans who only watch hockey during the olympics, I gotta say it would really help if they invented a TV tech that would paint the puck w glowing colours. I'd enjoy this more if I knew where the thing was.

FUCK BTS. Greedy gourmands. Leave some cookies for the rest of us.

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

I have a friend who hates the concept on principle. She wouldn't endorse partisan gerrymandering until she literally believed that war was imminent and PG could stop it. I respect her ethical commitment, but I tend to side with Bouie. IMO the GOP is selfish enough to stop only when they get hurt.

Next up, I get banned for saying, "These chocolate chip cookies need to die, and I'm just the woman to make that happen!"

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. "Don't switch metaphors mid-sentence."

My first suicide attempt I was 10 years old. I didn't come out to anyone until age 20. They ridiculed me, I doubted myself and ultimately decided I was wrong about my own thoughts. It took 3 more years to come out again. Total of 4 attempts before I came out in any way that would be remembered.

Me: "There is no such thing as the perfect movie." BFF: "In Wrath of Becky a teenage girl blows up one of the Nazis that hurt her dog using a bazooka." Me: "Where does one acquire this, 'Wrath of Becky' and is it based on a true story?"

STFSM I'm ready for Associate Justice Brown Jackson to start ending every single one of her dissents with "Trump v United States delenda est."

Le Guin was on fire with this one.

This is, largely speaking, true. The problem is that I've come to believe that in order for fascism to be successful the fascists need an opposition that won't fight. They aren't **causing** fascism, but their fecklessness is a necessary precondition to fascism.

There is literally nobody better at this.

What a great shirt design. Very well done, unknown artist!

I made these curry lentils so perfectly spicy. Delicious from the first bite and took til I was 3/4 of the way through the bowl b4 my eyes started watering. Should be able to finish before my throat erupts in actual flames but not before my mouth catches fire. Couldn't have done it better.

good they got that "lawyers allege" in there, bc we know none of the fine, upstanding employees of ICE would violate anyone's due process.

this is very funny www.foxnews.com/media/jd-van...

Criminalizing possession of something that humans were inevitably going to possess - alcohol - was tried. People crossed borders to possess it so much that it failed and we scrapped that plan. "Illegal" immigration is working just as well as Prohibition, and for many of the same reasons.

"Our plan to satisfy our human rights obligation of non-refoulement is to to be the foulers ourselves, so that other countries can't return the immigrants we racistly deport back to the UK since then THEY would be refouling the immigrants to US."

No one knows the classics anymore, so this will likely go unappreciated, but since I read about that "finger length ratios determine transness" paper earlier I can't stop thinking about "Dr. Procrustes" who sells anti-trans parents on a "cure" that puts fingers on a rack to stretch/sever them.

There will be few parents able to speak publicly about how badly they've fucked their children's lives. I hope the ones who do speak up get tolerated as necessary messengers rather than lauded as heroes speaking important truths to deranged Anti-vaxxers.

Vive la France!

The funniest thing I've seen in days.

The sheer mendacity of these ppl & the evil implicit in their lies causes me to gag. Take this MJ quote, e.g. It's not merely that no one gets body parts "chopped off" for being a tomboy or femmy dude. It's that it was not okay to be a tomboy or femmy dude. Kids got beat up in school all the time.

Oh, fuck, I laughed at the headline before seeing a kid died. Goddammit.

"I believe that we can change the fundamental causes of transness and thus eradicate transgenderism and its hateful ideology forever!" "Really? How would you change someone's tendency to gender themselves a certain way? Psychotherapy doesn't work. We've tried." "Let me show you. Pull my finger."

Newport, NO! What the fuck are you doing? I liked you Newport, with your Sylvia Beach Hotel and random Korean restaurants and Aunt Belinda's and Pyromania. Why you gotta go pro-genocide?

@nbcnews.com : Another moment of shame for you to add to your collection.

Confirm. I am recently no longer an Oregon voter, but I donated to @wyden.senate.gov in his very first senate campaign and voted for him every time I could. I followed his career, and as pissed as I am that he hasn't moved to unseat Schumer, this is stuff he does well. This is scary.

I'm shocked! Shocked! Okay, not that shocked.

what if the real sex trafficking cabal was just the patriarchy we made along the way

Here's your #AskALibrarian thread from MCL. Always chock-a-block with good book ideas. Except horror. Obviously all the horror book ideas are bad bc horror is a bad genre that should be spanked. Spanked and abandoned in the woods to allow nature to take its course. Nothing can go wrong then.

"Comprehensive meta-analysis of multiple studies representing 10s of thousands of trans subjects finds as many as several trans people may possibly not rape all women by their mere existence."

Liberals: “Trans people aren’t significant enough to have a sway on the vote so we have to appeal to transphobes.” Also liberals: “If we lose, it’s trans people’s fault for not voting for us!” If our issues are too divisive and confronting then winning the election without our votes should be easy

I don't talk about it often enough, probably, but a few times a year I'll bring this up. Ppl RIGHTLY talk about the disproportionate abuse that cops target at black men, but Deaf ppl get **even more** abuse bc cops hate it when you don't obey, even if you have no way to hear their commands.

Toddlers have inherent biological advantages in curling. Join me in banning toddlers from participating in sports outside their age group or it will end adults' athletics as we know them.

He has money for fuck's sake. Lots of money and the fundraising capacity to get more at the pass of a hat. He should send metric fucktonnes of literal money to communities impacted by US fascism & in the Senate use every strategy McConnell did on his way to becoming GOP King Obstructionist.

1/x: One of the things that is deeply unsatisfying to cis people **despite** its familiarity with their experience, is that when they force trans ppl to articulate why we think of ourselves in the gendered ways we do, all we can do is give anecdotes. They say, "But others exp that!"

I'm with Omar.
