wherever she ends up, it's just such a feel-good moment to watch Alysa Liu skate. Literally doing it for the love of the game.

elizabeth banks new show called The Miniature Wife and i’m not sure if it’s 100% a kink thing or just 95%

Kinda shocked ppl are still giving the NYT any grace in the quotes. Lascano says some valid things about health! As a fat person myself (though low end of mid fat, ig), I would like to lose weight. That being said, the NYT is clearly pushing a narrative that doesn't bear out in the data.

holy crap, @merriam-webster.com w the save like always. www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/jerr...

my family always says "jury-rigged" & i wonder what jury rigged it.

mixed up amber lynn & amber glenn. never again.

robitussin is the scary one, right? i want to assure everyone that the only thing i'm high on is my brain cells slowly dying as i hack them out my windpipe.

delsym, delsym, give me your answer do

so we get a year of the sheep but no year of the GOAT? tell me again that capitalism rewards achievement, i dare you.

using whatever cold i have to attempt to skeet semidelirious bangers. the mad queen is upon ye.

this post reminded me of how much i despise capri sun much in the manner of seeing a late afternoon thunderstorm late on the horizon. anyway hell yea thot daughters.

GUNG HEI FAT CHOY SUN NEEN FAI LOCK SUN TAI GEEN HONG Happy Lunar New Year!

Discord is washed. You need to migrate to Meep. Brindle is good but in early access. Goop is promising but hasn't released their IPO. And definitely avoid Scringle, they've got ties to Sproink

a. there is def [growing] support among the public for restrictions on trans rights (e.g. www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/...) b. i'm sorry but I have a degree in poll design & fielding, and I trust lakshya's polling skills about as far as I can throw them.

year of the fire horse, you say?

(alicia keys voice) this horse is on fire

Looot of people here getting riled up after a basic election math take that the DNC *literally* acknowledges. We need persuadable & mobilizable voters, & yeah, usually canvassers don't go in guns blazing to a house.

This! I give a wide bit of leeway to people, but don't use this as an excuse to be transphobic. Basic electoral logistics is that there are persuadable and mobilizable voters. Last election, Dems under-mobilized our base even though Dems and the GOP persuaded about the same number.

I know we joke all the time about the radicalization of the wine moms, but the things I saw from the Catholic sports dads during that process really like healed something in my soul I think

in 2023 when I was organizing parents against our archbishop’s transphobic new school guidelines, one dad asked how loud I thought it was prudent for us to be, given how punitive the Archbishop is. I was like “loud enough that all the trans/nb kids at your parish see it” and he was like “…. oh”

Every time you speak up - and every time you don't - there are people watching and learning about you and the world you help create.

really enjoy that the bloke who won two golds on the luge is someone who was a national level taekwondo fighter until he got injured and then a government figure stepped out the shadows and said "let me tell you about project going down a hill really fast"

Writing is thinking. It's not some marginal boring task you can skip. It's the heart of it.

I am reminded again that I don't post nearly enough about paleontology despite having my profile pic as a temnospondyl. I actually kinda like fossil xenarthans more. One ground sloth made it to during (or shortly before) the pyramids! It survived past the invention of writing.

If anyone wants an example of the kind of stuff I wish more Democrats would do when it comes to defending trans rights, look no further than this from @jayapal.house.gov

Woke: Disco Elysium is about a problematic antihero. Bespoke: Contrapoints discourse is a lesson in how people treat a transfem problematic antihero. (everyone hated that)

Two things can be true: 1. Yes, it *is* measurably worse here (especially compared to Brazil & South Korea), let's not kid ourselves. 2. The far-right assault on democracy is global. Resting on one's laurels is no way to organize.

it's so hilarious they've turned ChatGPT into a pantomime of an extremely brusque person who's fed up with their crappy retail job. yes openai, give us nothing, the collapse can't come fast enough.

hello friends and mortal enemies let me tell you about kentucky lore. would you like to guess what the nickname for transylvania university is? that's right it is as bad as you thought! www.bkstr.com/transylvania...

kebab is actually short for kerobert

on the bright spot, everyone loves kok, though. sth to celebrate.

they're saying it's more aerodynamic than a man's

just dozens and dozens of posts extending through a whole weekend and doing the 2026 version of 2024’s “people who say they’re trans on here & express concerns different than mine are actually republican operatives trying to make the community look bad.” watch a movie. take a breath. call a friend.

There’s always 5 guys. 3000 people on the internet can read a post and understand it but always 5 guys on the same internet determined to tell you how you’re dumb, wrong, saying something they only imagined you said, or, at the very least, should have said it differently in under 300 words.

"Nnedi Okorafor credits Le Guin with proving fantasy heroes didn't have to be white." WRONG. AI is just out here flat out lying about me. I never said this. No disrespect the Great LeGuin but no one ever needed to "prove" such a thing. Mschew. Anyone who knows me knows I don't speak like that.

is osgood fielding iii from some like it hot a chaser, yes or no? discuss.

This. Unless you're pointing out how Nazis and fascists use language, don't use it.

if i were locked in a torture basement i would simply defeat my captor in the free market of ideas and convince her to let me free. for too long we have relied on obscenities like biting and hidden blades. through the powers of rhetoric and reason, a better world is po—hrruy NMMM hrk hrk hrk

Cartoon: If anyone in Chicago knows this school or an anti ICE organization affiliated with them I would be happy to donate this art. I only wish I could have fully Sal Buscema-ed that punch :)

Had a whole convo about this on the way to get chipotle re: how NBC is wretched about overhyping our athletes and promoting go big or go home type expectations. This feels like a very uniquely American approach to the Olympics, as if medals alone aren’t enough it’s got to be EXTRA to get attention.

this, p much. i might be a little less lenient (mostly bc i don't see what scolding accomplishes, it's not like that's canvassers' first strategy), but essentially this.

(btw: i *do* realize what you post on social media may not match what you’re doing irl or even what you care about, but if you’re scolding trans people on how they better like a guy if they know what’s good for em, i hope you’ve said something else online about trans people that isn’t transmisogyny)

It was believed in medieval times that hedgehogs had spikes so they could roll over fruit to carry home to their children, which is not true but is a really cute idea

Alright, honeypot time, ig. It's 2 yrs out. If you're yelling at trans ppl who, rightly or wrongly, are afraid of how Newsom will affect their community, you're yelling at ppl that voted 86% for Harris & you're not helping anything. YOU'RE the performative purity politics you claim to despise.
