I said last week that Charlie Kirk's own circles didn't actually give a shit about him and only saw his death as an opportunity. Yesterday cemented that notion for me. These are the most cold-hearted people I've ever witnessed.

It creeps me out how much the missus seems to be loving this and feeling it as her Princess of the Fascist Prom moment. She’s smiled so many times talking about her husband dying. Now she comes out to fireworks & applause…at a funeral…

Charlie Kirk died fucking 11,000 years ago today.

“So when you start to feel bad for him, remember he’s a bad guy.” -Donald Trump on Biden’s cancer OH THE EMPATHY.

I feel like there’s a very janky clock counting down to these cultists literally worshipping Charlie Kirk. When Trump dies they’ll just port Christianity over entirely with TrumpDaddy & Kirk as his innocent sacrificial son it’s gonna be AWFUL.

Cucumber eyes achieved

The Confederacy lasted 53 days longer than Jimmy Carter's presidency.

Honestly the more fully you process the fact that the US Confederacy lasted exactly as long as YOUR FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL CAREER START TO FINISH the more pathetic the whole side & its brain-jawed mutant fascist offspring truly show their bare fucking stupid shit-spackled asses to be #heritage #lol

I know more than one person who insists they support the culture of the Confederacy not its politics, but cannot name a single book, play, song, painting or other cultural artifact created in the Confederacy. This is mostly because it didn't last long enough to develop cultural trends.

The funny thing is I saw this developing ages back & tried to fake out like oh maybe I can’t always do it but I literally always win so by 2 the Childe was like “why are you being stupid rn just win let’s go” Remember I went to Denmark last year THERE’S A RAINBOW SLOTH FROM TIVOLI GARDENS ON MY BED

Very much enjoying how much millennials are taking Gen Z’s “rizz” slang & rather than using it ironically to ruin another meme for the children, have genuinely adopted it, as if to objectively acknowledge: “This mutation is an excellent move upward in the linguistic arts.” Game to recognize game.

It’s… Christ. It’s literally a shit-ton of bloated has-been bullies who can’t get over high school when they got to punch all the different kids & no one cared so now we all have to blow them on the hour every hour and worship their amazing 15-yard passing record or get gassed in a camp

FFVII first came out approximately seven confederacies ago 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you're upset about Jimmy Kimmel being "canceled," I'm sure you were just as furious when you heard about Joy Reid and Tiffany Cross or Amber Ruffin or Karen Attiah or Jemele Hill Because Kimmel might still have a job if you were

Tomorrow we’re going to the boardwalk nearby and…okay I tell people sometimes I have Claw Machine Superpowers, but they never believe me til I win in front of them. …but the Childe is just like “yeah yeah claw machines are so easy” because they’re so used to me winning. KINDA TAKIN THE FUN OUT KID

He’s working on some fresh pronouns jokes for the Riyadh Comedy Festival:

Off we go! (20 miles away, but still.) First stop: hotel pool & the Childe has asked to try Japanese food for dinner so…we’ll see how that goes. Then CUCUMBER EYES (Thank you thank you again to our friends who chipped in to our weekend with the tip jar!)

I told the Childe our hotel had a hot tub, because no “Luxury Spa Getaway” is complete without a spa, & I wish I could fully express the Utter Job Interview Tone with which they replied: “Oh, well. That’s wonderful. I have hot tub experience, you know.”

I’m just fuckin’ rollin’ with my mum this weekend, chugging Fancy Milk and choosing my own adventure

Oh, did you need a new drag name? “Hey Mum what’s this book about? She’s called Holly Bibble!”

I genuinely had no idea that my Mum Voice had hit Bene Gesserit area-effect levels already…

Oh man I can’t believe we haven’t heard anything from icon Dave Chappelle on the unforgivable, worth everything to stand up against it, crime of cancelling comedy just because you don’t agree with it. Maybe he’s napping.

Omg thank you so so so much to the couple of folks who put a little something in the tip jar to make our weekend just a bit fancier. You guys are literally the best. This whole bribe/trip has made me realize how rarely I let myself do this kind of thing, instead of only traveling for work.

Childe enthusiastically asked “can we do the thing where people put cucumbers on their eyes??” *sotto voce* “Mum why do people put cucumbers on their eyes is it fun?”

Some of you may remember I promised the Childe a reward if they could chill enough for me to finish my book. Price Is Right fan picked A LUXURY SPA WEEKEND! So we’re going to go do that (shitty motel I can afford & will tell them is “luxury”) tomorrow & try to not think about the world on fire.

Fuck Fetterman. That is all.

The amazing @zinrock.bsky.social is raising funds to go to a convention AND it’s her birthday. She hasn’t been able to travel for awhile, give her a present! gofund.me/369353d91

Everyone follow this author. She speaks HARD truth. And writes good shit. Had been missing her takes since leaving Shitter. Found her again here and thrilled. @catvalente.bsky.social

I want you to just take a moment to observe everything that’s happening right now, everything being said & done ostensibly because it’s so wrong to do anything but deeply grieve a public figure’s death And I want you all to remember exactly what they said about celebration when Hillary Clinton dies

Yes, and she has a new book out, and jeeeeesus.

Just for the record, Jimmy Kimmel wasn’t canceled for The Man Show or Crank Yankers or any of the other off putting misogynist, ableist, racist content he made his name on before going respectable, because the left doesn’t actually do that. Canceled for telling the truth, because the right does.

Can’t we just put aside all this chaos and come together as a nation to cancel Elizabeth Gilbert?

The left was derided for promoting a cancel culture because they went after predators and those who abused their wealth and power. The right is canceling anyone who dares speak truth to power. Both sides are not remotely the same.

I’m sure all the standup comedians who have been ranting about censorship the last few years are going to take to the streets any minute now.

Trans rignts are human rights. Gay rights are human rights. Women's rights are human rights. Human rights are non-negotiable. Once you decide a group doesn't deserve human rights and the protection of law, your own rights get put on the platter of "potentially disposable."

What is happening in America right now is the answer to a question no one asked but maybe should have: “Can an entire society have a panic attack because it can’t handle even a handful of anxious ideations about its own future?”

jimmy kimmels time slot replaced with reruns of jimmy fallon playfully ruffling trumps hair

Kimmel and Colbert, both massively, worldwide famous, both fired, simply for pointing out facts the government disagreed with. 1st amendment issues aside…this is literally cancel culture and the right FUCKING LOVES IT. On their knees, all smiles, don’t just tread on me, ruin me daddy.

I think what is most upsetting right now is that this administration has not had the skill to do much of anything they are trying to do. They crumple and scurry away when people stand up strongly to them. And most of the richest & most powerful people in this country just rolled over like cowards.

Yes, this is a synesthesia-derived blend inspired by @catvalente.bsky.social 's Fairyland books!

Echo chambers on the left of me, silos on the right, stuck in the middle with [80% of the population] 🎵

The entire pundit class, including the leftward side, is fine with fascism because they think fascism means “exactly like it is now only some people who aren’t me get hurt, then I make more money talking about the hurt that never touches me or my friends!” Hence the sanewashing & Kirk hagiography.

Here is my shining light for the day: The Childe is upstairs in the bath FULL-CHEST singing every song from Labyrinth. EVERYTHING I’VE DONE I’VE DONE FOR YOU! I MOVE THE STARS FOR NO ONE!

@catvalente.bsky.social 's being targeted by the right at the moment. It's a good time to show some solidarity by buying her wonderful books. Palimpsest is especially amazing; also highly recommend the girl who circumnavigated the globe and space opera. www.amazon.com/Palimpsest-N...

X wants to kill me for a paywalled essay about SEO. BlueSky wants me to never speak again, even linking to my work, which is all this was ever about, because if we all just don’t talk to Nazis, surely they’ll stop being Nazis. What a great world we’ve got going here.

I know, man. Can you believe how she was dressed?!?! Totally her fault for using those oh so provocative words. Completely. ... (/s for those unclear) You do realize your words are public, right?

This piece of shit does not deserve free books, because of this ... unbelievable response to @catvalente.bsky.social
