What's it like inside your head?

I can confidently say that to my knowledge none of my friends ever had a Nazi phase, a white supremacy phase, or have tattoos relating to either. And if you do and I find out about it, that's the end of it. I don't need anyone in my life like that, no exceptions

@governorwalz.mn.gov Please add Minnesota!

This is very well written and extremely troubling and you should take some time to read it.

Good thread, and Musk has turned X into a desensitization accelerator.

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78. Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

Reminder that Colombus fed natives to his dogs He used Indigenous children as sex slaves His men wanted to mutiny They should have done so Saving us the fucking trouble The same people who did the inquisition and crusades thought he went too far

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand: -Shrimp in every form and variation, it's always gross -Event Horizon -The Fray, "How to Save a Life" tied with Macy Gray's "I Try"

In the old days they called them the “Starvation Army” for their pro-police anti-worker stance. They are what the song “Pie In The Sky” by Joe Hill was about.

The "cognitive decline and brain damage from repeat COVID infections" and "easy to use robot that makes slop and melts your critical thinking skills" is a hell of a combo in a post-fact media ecosystem

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

Related to this, it isn’t over

Still true

Powerful people tell powerful lies. At a matchmaking event for humans and magical beings, 16yo Eremia uncovers a generational secret--the magical beings use power harvested from humans to rule over them. This knowledge is a death sentence. Bridgerton x Valdemar x Hunger Games #DVpit #YA #F #LGBT

Powerful people tell powerful lies. By tradition, 16yo Eremia has to give her heart to one of the many immortal magical beings in return for power and prestige--but she learns that also means allowing them to continue to subjugate humanity. Bridgerton x Valdemar x Hunger Games #DVpit #YA #F #LGBT

Powerful people tell powerful lies. 16yo Eremia wants to make her family proud by giving up her heart to an immortal magical being in exchange for magic--but she discovers the contract perpetuates a secret, ongoing oppression of humanity. Bridgerton x Valdemar x Hunger Games #DVpit #YA #F #LGBT

White siblings, you have to understand this even if it is uncomfortable. Just because this wasn't happening to us before doesn't mean it hasn't been happening to black people all along. We have to live with that truth. Otherwise, we're exactly the same as our current repressors.

If you think ICE won't come for you, you're wrong. I live in a building in Highland Park of mostly retired white people and they still knocked on our door and wanted entry. Will they stormtrooper our building like the one in Chicago? I don't actually know. But they COULD. We are ALL targets now.

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism. I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

This. Is. Brilliant.

Constantly the heroes we need. Also their daily word games are THE BEST. Quordle and Blossom are infinitely superior to anything on the NYT. And free! And you learn so many new words on Blossom!

If you still do wall calendars, one of my favorite artists has a beautiful one for 2026!

you cannot dismantle oppression in this country without first dismantling racism in this country. you cannot dismantle racism in this country without first dismantling this country's core white supremacy foundation itself. Black and Native and YOUR liberation are intertwined.

Verdict: The Stanley Hotel is a delight as long as you enjoy old hotels with character. I can't speak to it on the ghost front, but as a writer, I get what the atmosphere here did for @stephenking.bsky.social . 10/10, would stay here again for inspiration!

Tonight we're checking off an item on the bucket list and staying overnight at the Stanley Hotel!!!

Inside you are two wolves

Look, folks, SNEAKERS is in the LEVERAGE ancestors list. it’s a must see, and a true pleasure, unlike some influences that are necessary for context but haven’t aged well.

I think this point is far more important than we realize. The fact that we consume completely different media showing us completely different things is a huge driver of division.

Republicans refuse to confront these inconvenient facts: - Young men are being radicalized online by hate & conspiracies - These young men have access to guns - There are mass shootings in America, majority white men - #1 domestic terror threat is right-wing extremism - Maga's Groypers problem

Thread but especially this

I have written and deleted a lot of posts but I keep thinking about how the brutal assassination of Minnesota State senator Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and their beloved dog Gilbert in June did not prompt this same level of calls for empathy, sympathy, and flags at half-mast.

A white cishet ultra conservative shot and killed another white cishet ultra conservative and now the other white cishet ultra conservatives are making it the problem of everyone else but themselves, which is the whitest most ultra conservative shit there is.

Also, to make this abundantly clear: This isn't just minneapolis. This is all of Minnesota. So if you know allies in outstate who could sign on, please pass it along to them.

1. No. 2. Gross. 3. Patrick Dempsey and Michael Hogan should sue. 4. Any AI company that wants to make “people” with human-level intelligence who can never quit and don’t get paid is telling you they want to own slaves.

This

No

Does that mean we can now pass laws saying white cis men can be profiled and stopped for carrying guns on the basis that 99% of all mass shootings are cis white men? Stop and Frisk is bullshit, but if anybody deserves to be profiled, why not point it in the right direction for once?

Our power went out around 6:20 and the building Facebook group immediately rallied around 2 points: 1) everybody report it so Xcel gets on fixing it 2) what are we going to do if they don't fix it in time for the Vikings game??? Also everyone leaned out their balconies to say hi, which was adorable!

"How's your writing coming along?" How it's coming along:

It does not escape me that those of us who have been saying it was a genocide, since early days, are also the ones who correctly called what is happening here fascism, since early days. Things are pretty obvious if you are willing to look.

Dear Democratic Leaders, If you won’t stand up for trans people and their rights, you’re tellling me you won’t stand up for *anyone* or *any rights* the second they come under attack. You’re telling me you don’t stand for anything at all. Also, they’re *people*. Grow a spine or get out the way.

Post a random picture or else everything will go bad in September

I'm too tired to be angry today. I just want to cry. Fuck everybody who contributed to the shit in the world today. Take that as broadly as you need - it's a lot. Thank you everybody who is kind. I still believe there are more of us. I have to believe it. Hug folks today. We all need it.
