Pretty crazy how important the blockade of a trade route is right now

It's truly disturbing watching trans people, mostly trans women, who are still regularly on X get their brains cooked in real time and start internalizing anti trans positions and try to police the community or give into far right framings. You are not immune from the propaganda.

Can't sleep.

man oh man Kat could do it

I wanted to keep my initials and Madison felt very metropolitan to me, it's also the 0 Street. Prob why it felt that way. Elizabeth was on my list, but my mom sealed it when she said it was the name she liked best on my list.

Bride was good. A fever dream messy film, but good.

Dem politicians are begging for voters to abandon trans people so hard. It's the turning of a transphobia knob and looking back to the camera to see how much people will give in. To their credit, they have held, but I don't know why they feel holding is hurting them. Going to get worse before Nov

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

I think this week is a great week to go blind.

Just got wished a Happy Int National Women's day by a stranger on the El platform. Like, the people who take the train 💜 to you all, y'all are bringing beautiful spring vibes.

it's a pleasant surprise if you find a crossdressing character in a 90s anime and the joke being told is funny

Sánchez: “You may have heard that Spain is alone. They’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine, and then others followed. “We are not alone — we are the first. Those who will end up alone are the ones defending the indefensible.”

Happening now: ~200 protesters have gathered off Chicago's Michigan Avenue this afternoon for another demo condemning U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran and Lebanon. Israeli airstrikes killed dozens in Lebanon overnight. Thousands of families have been displaced after widespread evacuation orders.

In every Republican presidency of my lifetime there's been a recession and a new war in the Middle East.

YOU ASKED FOR THIS! Downfall. Kristi Noem Edition:

imagine being a history buff and getting this random tattoo on your chest that you look at every day in the mirror and then when you watch history documentaries for the next 20 years you never notice that all the nazi uniforms had your chest tattoo on their hats?

The Chicago Stock Exchange itself should never have been demolished. This exquisite room is one of the few vestiges of it that remain, & it is absolutely outrageous that it should be endangered again.

I'm on the densest census block in Chicago and the 2nd most dense census block in the US.

A cartoon from the 1950’s that’s more relevant than ever 💔

for the @chicagoreader.com's 2025 best of chicago issue, i wrote about cops! for the best conglomeration of local police to protect a murderous army of federal agents, look no further than the unified command of broadview, illinois.

Tranarchist Bane: “Oh, you think gender is your ally? But you were merely assigned a gender. I was reborn in mine. Transitioned for it. I didn't see the tv glow until I was already perceived as a man. By then, it was nothing to me but blinding! Gender betrays you because it belongs to my people!"

since The Atlantic is apparently reviving the "a was a feminine gay child, but if I was a kid today they would have 'transed' me" trope, here's an essay I wrote back in 2020 explaining why this is not true & there is no evidence to support it: juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...

Love to all the people who picked to harass trans people this week. Y'all are doing the work.

She’s a serious candidate; at this point I think most people dismissing her seriousness are at least partially motivated by misogyny; and this is a clearer articulation of a progressive foreign policy than I’ve seen anyone else running for office make

for cis society, transition is considered a failure state, an unfortunate, terrible, worst outcome, which is why they try so hard to prevent anyone from transitioning

It's a Happy Birthday to me today. My 40th on an evening with a full blood moon eclipse. 😵🌕🌚

I wonder how many people online posting are just AI bots trying to start making conflict. Could be rather high. Most people I know IRL don't post too much at all. I've seen studies estimate around 20%, but could be even higher.

THE PROPHECY

A blood moon eclipse on my birthday!

#LunarEclipse FAQ: Q: Is it safe to look at? A: Absolutely! Unlike a solar eclipse, there's no UNsafe time to look at a lunar eclipse. Q: Do I need a telescope? A: Nope! Best view is with naked eye. Just look up! Q: Does the eclipse portend terror & doom? A: Not at all! The news has that covered.

Charles G. Dawes, the 30th U.S. Vice President (1925- 1929) under Calvin Coolidge, is the only vice president to co-write a #1 pop hit.

Gavin Newsom sweating like old dynamite watching Labour's 'transphobia & bigotry' strategy eat shit tonight lol
