Why the fuck am I seeing ads in my gmail app? Does Google seriously need more money? Wtf

not to downplay the severity of what's cominb but the entire fall campaign of just executing boats full of civilians in the caribbean was a screaming klaxon that illegality of the order is no obstacle for Hegseth's Department of Warcrimes

if you went to or worked at the rego park costco tonight and found a tiny unicorn plush attached to a blue or grey pacifier, please let me know 🥺

It’s not just Ms. Rachel. The biggest names in children’s educational programming are coming out in force to call for kids to be freed from ICE detention. Here’s “Reading Rainbow” host @mychal3ts.bsky.social outside the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.

I have never and will never use AI for writing or for cover art or character art or any other creative purpose, either because I am not a scab and all artists have to stand together for each other's rights. Full stop. NEVER.

I’m no lawyer but I find it interesting that Christian conversion therapy practitioners have the right to tell kids they aren’t trans but those kids’ teachers apparently don’t have the right to say they are trans and people on the internet may not have the right to affirm them being trans either

When my little sis came out as trans I was super nervous to tell my friends because I didn't know how'd they'd react and I was fully ready to leave behind anyone who wouldn't support her. Apparently I was so grim when I called them together that they all thought my sister must be dying.

On this trans day of visibility, you should hire me to edit your book. Please.

Today's the day. America has no king. Come out and stand together in solidarity for freedom. #NoKings Find your event: www.nokings.org

I think every time someone interviews AI tech bros they should ask them how they feel about AI mistakes like bombing an elementary school.

Sometimes it feels like I should remind my health insurance that they'll get no money from me if I'm dead.

There was ONE ATC in the tower at LGA during last night's crash. ONE ATC, at LGA!, dealing w ALL air and ground traffic, including a plane filling w a strange smell and no gate to return to. The Pentagon wants $200B for a vanity war, but our ATC towers are empty. Budgets are moral documents.

Recently I watched Apollo 13 and Hidden Figures and I realized that a fully accurate Apollo 13 would have included Katherine Johnson. It's a good reminder that women and people of color have always been in the room where it happens, we just tend to get erased by the white guys writing the stories.

When I was writing a book about the history of trans people across different cultures, I joked that every chapter basically ended with "and then the Christians arrived and fucked everything up." And Lord if that isn't still happening

When I was a professor the legal department had a whole seminar with us about how you should never ever date a student and if it was really "true love" or some shit it could wait til after graduation. It's really not that hard to not date someone you hold power over.

As a descendant Irish immigrants I've always kinda disliked St. Patrick's day because is so alcohol focused. This was really nice to watch.

Can you imagine how much different the world would be if we'd listened to all the women raising the alarm about the rise of incel culture back in 2013? Sigh

FUCK YES MICHAEL B. JORDAN!!!

Needing prior authorization for medication is so fucking stupid. My doctor said I need it why does she have to fill out a "no really she'll die" form?

Why Do Some People Still Wear Masks In 2026 And On A Completely Unrelated Note Why Is Everyone In The Office Sick Right Now Apart From The Guy In The Mask?

Watching Toy Story with the toddler, I'm amazed with how good most of the animation still looks but damn if that baby isn't straight nightmare fuel

$11.3 billion could cover any of the following for a full year: -1.4 million people on Medicaid -19 million kids getting free school lunches -1.4 million people getting affordable housing -1.1 million hungry seniors fed -0.8 million children given free child care

What's the word when exhaustion moves into your bones and it's just who you are now

Don't look away. These camps are unsafe for people's well-being and health, unconstitutional, and a stain on the US. If people want to have a convo about immigration, let's do it. This is not the solution. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

While Trump is unleashing a war in the Middle East, do not lose sight of the cruelty being inflicted at home by this regime. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2026/03/at-largest-ice-detention-camp-staff-bet-on-detainee-suicides-ap-reports/

My Dad is a Vietnam era veteran. One Veterans Day he was shocked to find out he was the only Vet in his corporate office until my mom said "of course, they only sent the poor boys" I've been thinking about that a lot right now.

Nothing says well thought out plan like lighting a nonrenewable resource on fire.

On This International Women’s Day, the SAVE America Act Reminds Us the Fight for Women’s Suffrage Is Still Being Fought | "We’re about 100 years out from getting the right to vote & now we’re fighting this bill which would make it harder for millions of women to vote,” said @gbedekovics.bsky.social

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it. 15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

I just feel like we shouldn't have to tell tech bros "don't let people who control the bombs place bets on when they'll use them" and "don't let your creepy ai tell people to commit suicide" but here we fucking are.

Nearly 30 books you can (should) add to your Trans Rights Readathon TBRs! Curated for trans sapphic spec fic awesomeness w/ a bonus non-fiction book recommendation that I think literally everyone needs to read this year. TRR is 2 weeks away, plan accordingly! dreaming.daxmurray.com/trans-rights...

I love that the show Ugliest House in America is basically an ode to interior design done by cocaine

Matthew 24:23 is really clear that anyone who says they know when the rapture is happening is lying. Which I guess only matters to the three Christians who read the book.

Not to make it about economics, but that plane right there constitutes the budget of my city for the next 27 years

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I supremely hate that the first thing I thought upon reading the news today was "oh so he fucked A LOT of kids. Ok"

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

Remember: Donald Trump created this crisis. He walked away from the Iran nuclear deal that was working, promising a "better deal." He didn't deliver. He escalated, abandoned real diplomacy, and has now led us into a conflict that puts us all at risk.

My other take is that any Justice who writes for anything other than full birthright citizenship should be impeached for that ALONE because that's such a flagrant violation of their oath of office that they cannot be trusted with anything ever again.

I can enjoy Gavin Newsome being a dick to certain people online without thinking he'd be a good president. It's almost like the skills that make you a good shit talker online make you a poor choice for a leadership role

I wish the New York Times hated rich pedophiles as much as they hate trans kids.

They paid a lot of people good wages to do the job effectively, thank you for coming to my socialism talk

It was never just about kids and it was never just about sports. It has always been about saying that trans people are not legitimate.

For your readers: which is not to underestimate the number who will be permanently scarred by family separation, etc., and those who will certainly die due to conditions in a prison system with no healthcare (and forced teen pregnancy - as young as 13.) 1/2 www.cbsnews.com/atlanta/news...

"This cannot be taken strictly as an accidental byproduct of more general anti-democratic measures. Rather, I think it should be analyzed in the context of a wider constellation of misogynistic views on the right, including the extremist push to deny women the franchise."

Every day there's some new horror. Forcing trans people off their hormones is just absolutely sadistic.

i’m just trying to talk to enough press that Mackenzie Scott rolls into some MN rent funds with the checkbook, you know?
