This is how I remembered it’s Friday afternoon

To the cheerful woman with the Hyundai Ioniq 5 with an enormous F ELON bumper sticker: have a wonderful day you’re the only person in this city doing the sticker right

I will probably see some of y'all at Seattle Trans Pride today, I'm going to be milling around getting some photos and helping out some friends tabling/organizing as they need me!

“Direct care access fund for providers of youth trans care” sounds pretty damn good to me

Jordan came up with a stretch goal for the podcast that I love: if we hit 1K patrons we’re gonna start doing monthly bonus episodes (on top of our current bonuses!) revisiting old Top Gear and chatting about it. We call it Tran Girlismo Presents: Switch Gear

Bear with me: this does raise an interesting thought experiment. If we lose another F-18 and the pilot ejects into the Reflecting Pool, would he charge him with vandalism

Went on a nice nature walk

hey everyone! I've been helping out Cosmic through TRACTION, our local mutual aid org for trans people fleeing hostile places, and they really could use some help funding their move to Seattle. if you have anything to spare, it would be deeply appreciated. www.gofundme.com/f/support-co...

hello! i had some big expenses pop up and now I can’t pay my rent. if anyone has like $300 lying around, that would be fantastic. paypal.me/jourdainsearles

The ONE person I successfully managed to persuade to get rid of his Tesla because of Musk’s fascist heel turn traded it for a Polestar and just like… yeah you can’t let China have your data. Give it instead to a guy who is personally willing to look through data logs of people who piss him off

I really wondered at some point if they were gonna chill out a bit on the guns but no they want a society of extremely unhappy people absolutely saturated with them lmao

CAN WE PLEASE STOP DOING AMERICAN CENTURY OF HUMILIATION EPISODES EVERY WEEK

it is a beautiful day in the shareholder value factory and you are a terrible goose

What is this other than secret state thugs testing out poll intimidation

“It was the goose that created value” is going to rattle around in my head like loose change for the rest of my life

@gaytonausa.bsky.social really nailed it with these two points

Okay I do love cheerful old cars but I do miss air conditioning sometimes

Today, I spoke on the House Floor to honor the life and legacy of Juniper Blessing, a beloved UW student who was tragically killed in May. Let’s honor Juniper’s life and legacy by making this moment a rallying cry of love for all our transgender students across this country.

alright it was fun talking about the pickup truck, I liked that. time to go back to Bad Vibes Only Mode

examples of what the FBI included as evidence of "Antifa terrorism" in the Prairieland case: -Narcan spray -Anarchist tattoos -a highlighted copy of Emergent Strategy -a zine made of a 2019 review of Hereditary and Midsommar from @reproutopia.bsky.social -First Aid Kits -seeds for garden vegetables

Liz Soto and Savanna Batten are 2 of those sentenced to 50 years in prison for Prairieland. I visited them in a north Texas jail—11 months into their incarceration over a July 4 noise demo—to meet the Trump admin’s “Antifa terrorists”. from behind glass, Soto said, “They didn’t like my book club.”

Tran Girlismo’s next main feed episode will be fun, so for that I must thank Slate

Look the first time I ever had good sex was inside a two seater crank window Toyota pickup I paid $700 for so I feel like my hating on the Slate comes from an informed place and I just Don’t Like It. Performatively cheap

Oh also don’t forget they’re saying 200 miles of range but that’s not on the EPA test cycle *and* they didn’t include a heat pump. so if you live outside of Southern California you can expect 2/3rds of the year to get a lot less range lol

Daniel and I often have different takes on modern cars but I’m right there with him on this one. It’s 2026, assuredly you can make the interior of your new electric truck at least look as nice as a 1992 Honda Civic

BREAKING — Judge in Coe vs. Blanche provisionally certifies plaintiffs as a class and grants temporary restraining order against DOJ accessing private medical records of trans youth treated at NYU Langone

I read this novella and I quite liked it but frankly I was floored to find out the author was cis

Across NY & MD, I'm counting 12 Democratic incumbents who lost (or, in one case, are trailing) to a challenger to their left. —2 congressmembers (both NY) —4 state senators (2 in NY, 2 in MD) —6 state house members (5 in NY, 1 in MD) A thread to break this down.

I’m doing the jeb face tonight bitches

Blanche v. Lau is devastating for green card holders. It means that if they leave the U.S. then return, a border officer can claim they committed a crime at some point, revoke their lawful status, and confiscate their green card without meaningful evidence of wrongdoing. It's really, really bad.

I've never been able to unsee the Mario chain chomp in the Vulcans cockpit windows

Embrace Intrepid 4x5 // Nikkor-W 135mm // expired Kodak Plus X Ft @victoriascott.bsky.social @wretch.bsky.social

Hard to laugh at this when federal judges decided possessing antifascist zines are effectively a crime deserving of life in prison

international agencies only do this when they are very, very, VERY distressed

it’s fun all of us get to sit around and wait now to see if birthright citizenship, a thing that’s been an ironclad law since we were all born, is going to stick around next week or if it’ll just vanish because some old assholes who watch Fox News decide it’s not cruel enough to leave it standing

Judge O’Connor stated from the bench that he is giving maximum sentences to the Prairieland sentences because “the state wants to send a message to anyone who shares a similar ideology.” Additionally, motions 29 and 33 for acquittal and a new trial were denied from the bench.

asking for incredulous NYT columnists - are we allowed to call it "fascism" yet orrrrrr

Federal sentencing has started. Zachary Evetts was just sentenced to 50 years by Chief District Judge Reed O'Connor. Maricela Rueda was just sentenced to 840 months / 70 years by Judge Mark Pittman.

hey i think it’s probably bad that “standing near a guy who shoots a gun while you protest” is punished *much* more seriously than murder

Benjamin "Champagne" Hanil Song was just sentenced to 100 years by Judge Mark Pittman.

5:03PM: I'm so angry at the state of the world. I need to do something other than scan film for 10hrs straight but my work is the only thing keeping me from imploding 5:07PM: Never mind I went outside 5:45PM: Scratch that I just saw a RAM Rumblebee ad on a bus stop. Burn america to the ground

I’m kind of scared to ask what “posting like Vicki” would look like

So, the Pittsburgh vintage Grand Prix is here in like three weeks, is there any interest in a meetup at the race? Would be just Jordan, no Vikki

We just recorded a pure chaos episode of Tran Girlismo. Like I mentioned Over The Hedge (2006), that’s how far off topic we got

while I am aware that this shirt is supposed to be pro-trans I'm not sure riffing on "SILENCE = DEATH" with the words "trans pride" is accomplishing that y'all

yesterday my cat pepsi turned 5 years old!

I finally found the right little guy for my car

he’s the most ridiculously proportioned cat i’ve ever seen. lookit this shit
