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.

I didn't get my hour long mantra walk today AND it was the fullest day I've had in a very long time and I am Out of Sorts™

we're working on getting search back up, hang tight

it's giving Jacques a little (also peep the new Guadalupe sweatshirt)

someone help me get this over to gay classicist Bluesky where it will do appropriate numbers

we got to Limberry Castle. it's not hard if you are just trying to power through it but I, on the other hand, am a masochist, so I'm trying both to learn Ultima and steal the Genji set from Elmdore and it's sending me into paroxysms (we are on attempt 4 now) #ivalicechronicles

audete me

starting into the Reformed churches, we start hitting some heavy hitters — the seal of the United Church of Christ is so freaking good — Trinity, Cross, Crown??? the lines are weighted as though it’s been drawn??? it’s an OVAL???? 10/10, perfect, no notes

I am grateful to the partially burnt-out signage at the local Hobby Lobby for my current vocal stim of choice H BBY LO BY

making Jacob the stereotypical Bluesky user is the rudest and truest attack anyone has ever made on us

BREAKING: JUSTICE DEPARTMENT EATS A LOSS IN 'SANDWICH GUY' CASE AS JURORS FIND DEFENDANT NOT GUILTY www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

okay I had the intuitive hit last night that, if one works in multiple metaphysical/religious/magical systems (like yours truly) part of that work is the capacity-building to be able to switch one's inner attunement and nervous system to the different formats of inner transmission at will /1

at long last, the time has come for me to learn Sanskrit in earnest ग॒णानां॑ त्वा ग॒णप॑तिं हवामहे क॒विं क॑वी॒नामु॑प॒मश्र॑वस्तमम् । ज्ये॒ष्ठ॒राजं॒ ब्रह्म॑णां ब्रह्मणस्पत॒ आ नः॑ श‍ृ॒ण्वन्नू॒तिभिः॑ सीद॒ साद॑नम् ॥

I'm so serious when I say that Cheney dying broke a curse or something

वृ॒ष॒भं च॑र्षणी॒नां वि॒श्वरू॑प॒मदा॑भ्यम् । बृह॒स्पतिं॒ वरे॑ण्यम् ॥ ३.०६२.०६ vṛ̱ṣa̱bhaṃ ca̍rṣaṇī̱nāṃ vi̱śvarū̍pa̱madā̍bhyam . bṛha̱spati̱ṃ vare̍ṇyam .. 3.062.06 The Bull of men, whom none deceive, the wearer of each shape at will, Bṛhaspati most excellent! (RV III.lxii.6)

Normal People Don’t Want This Shit is running away with the vote tonight

I hope Democrats unveil their new “TRANSGENDER FOR EVERYONE” policy tomorrow. America is ready.

New awareness campaign

realize that I should have re-shared this already, in honor of Rabbi Arthur Waskow's passing (it's got a bunch of his Torah in it, the famous "acid rain" teaching) -- On Vending Machine Theology God is not a kiosk your prayers are not a quarter

i thinned out of all my cold-weather gear, this shirt belongs to @animystic.net (and i kind of love it?)

move over hot dad summer, it's Convalescent Autumn

'Oh, feed me this day, Holy Spirit, with the fragrance of the fields and the freshness of the oceans which you have made, and help me to hear and to hold in all dearness those exacting and wonderful words of our Lord Christ Jesus, saying: Follow me' (Mary Oliver). 🙏🕯

Me after I make a great joke

omg Bella is literally so me

Just completed our annual viewing of "Coco (en Español)". One of Pixar's best. 5/5 feel-good generational healing. Recuerda sus muertos. 🥲💀🦋

I know I'm feeling better because the TikTok logismoi have returned in full force (e.g., "engine engine engine engine in my facotry")

getting a chest tube inserted and later removed is basically being turned into a human Beyblade, 0/10 do not recommend!

my kid called this "cottage cheese doggo"

so the solution is to throw the gold monstrosity into a volcano, got it

hitting up a taco truck is the closest we can get to ethical consumption under capitalism

this is kind of a serve tbh? (it's now "hoodie permanently attached" weather)

*glomp*

Being unfuckably annoying is an incredibly powerful online safety strategy from the late 1990s, but also that part of your personality is permanent. You live by the :p and you die by the xD.

Ashnikko said "God made Adam and Eve AND Steve. Why are we all not kissing? This is absurd!" and that spoke to me.

becoming a handlebar moustache guy was NOT on my bingo card for the year and I am having trouble finding it in my vimshottari dasa

who am I to deny the muse when she sings

Lost my virginity at the Rocky Horror Picture Show 50th Anniversary

I'm fairly sure that a live Rocky Horror Picture Show is the closest we can get in 2025 to the experience of attending a medieval mystery play

“What’s happening right now to trans people — to the LGBTQ+ community — is not okay. Somebody needs to stand up," Dylan Blaha told The Advocate.

this is EXTREMELY MY SHIT

i really gotta stop writing out Really Good and Long Thoughts in skeet drafts and then realizing, after sixteen skeets in a thread, that bluesky is decidedly *not* the platform to share these thoughts on and end up deleting the whole thing (every time i skeet about jesus i get swarmed by bots)

the transition from California to Michigan is not for the faint of heart (I got all my steps today at our local 70%-empty mall)

i need to schedule regular hermit days. I've been alternating introvert time with MAXIMUM JYOTISH & SOCIAL OUTPUT these last couple of days and it's been surprisingly sustainable

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

Shubh Deepavali! Wishing everyone a very happy Diwali. Across our city, families are lighting diyas and celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and hope over despair. New York shines brighter tonight because of the people who bring their light and traditions home.
