I'm always interested in twin stories and investigated how #anime #DaemonsOfTheShadowRealm plays with the tropes, speaking to the Japanese voice cast for Yuru and Asa @crunchyroll.com www.salon.com/2026/07/18/d...

Spent the last few days chatting with queer men in the Love and Deepspace fandom about its homophobia problem, and why some fans are protective of the game to the point of resisting even men who like men taking part in the romance game's community. kotaku.com/love-deepspa...

Happy International Non-Binary People's Day!

this incredible article from Katelyn Vue at Sahan Journal (published in MinnPost) has some explanation. www.minnpost.com/metro/2026/0...

Horrible day. ICE is preparing a deportation flight to Laos so some of my former, current, and were-to-be clients are being brought to the Whipple Building and shipped off to Louisiana for final removal. Lots of calls from them, their families, and friends. So much pain visited on our community

Maybe tonight #LateNightWithSethMeyers will give Lindsey Graham's needling granny a proper farewell, but in case she's gone for good, I wrote this brief tribute for @salon.com www.salon.com/2026/07/14/s...

Photographing living cats was perfectly possible from the late Victorian era onward. There was no technical limitation that would lead one to conclude that the cats in my older photos must be taxidermied. www.royalacademy.org.uk/art-artists/...

"I found myself riding a Washington Metro train surrounded by hundreds of masked white supremacists ... A Getty Images photographer captured the moment" -- Roswell Encina reflects on that fateful ride, the photo and what it means to be American for @salon.com

My feeds have been buzzing about this for a while, and I just got the official press release. Seems that yes, #Kpop vampires #Enhypen will be coming to #ComicCon . Too bad I'm not attending this year!

I'm about to watch my first episodes of #GeneralHospital ever because of @lastweektonight.com star John Oliver. I don't really watch soaps (except for a brief stint back in the day when my PR office put on #Passions during lunch because we were situated next door to casting) #old 1/3

Florida folks: If you have O- blood and are of African or African American descent, OneBlood is searching for donors who have a rare antigen that matches with a teenager with sickle cell disease who needs 50 units of blood so she can have a bone marrow transplant.

Cape Verde’s World Cup heroes have landed back home, greeted by saluting airport staff and hundreds of fans 🇨🇻 Today is also the 51st anniversary of the country’s independence. Have a day, Cape Verde 💙

SIX YEARS LATER "The officers used excessive force against Vera and violated his civil rights. The jury also found that the officers attacked Vera based on his race"

This is Harley. She's never rolled down a hill before, but she's super proud of her first attempt. 13/10 nailed it (TT: jesskoselke)

If you haven't already, do yourself a favor and watch #TheSheepDetectives. It's delightful and about sheep who solve the murder of their beloved shepherd (Hugh Jackman). I watched it in theaters and now I'm watching it on Prime 1/3

Links throughout the piece are a good reminder that @zhandlen.bsky.social recapped the whole series for @avclub.com in the long ago days of 2009. I'm going to make some time in the next couple of days to brush the multiple-CMS-migration dust off of them.

This is bone-chilling. A conservative hedge fund manager wants to require little girls to pass genital inspections for their “safety.” And it’s only for girls’ sports. There’s a clear link between transphobia and child sexual abuse.

"More than half of the children with deportation orders are representing themselves in immigration courts, according to data from the DOJ... Of the 751,861 children with pending removal cases, 57 percent, or 425,093 of them, do not have lawyers"

Dang, do I need to tune in to #GeneralHospital for the first time in my life? www.salon.com/2026/06/30/l...

For me, it's gotta be Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. I know Mel Gibson is basically a terrible person, but Tina Turner's performance is iconic, and the movie is just jam-packed with so many weird ideas. I recently found out they cut roughly half an hour from the movie, which leaves a bunch of questions

As the nation's 250th anniversary looms on #July4th , I reject the usual depictions of patriotism. @mctelevision.bsky.social put together a great list for @salon.com of TV shows that actually do depict the USA I know. Good for a binge this long weekend! www.salon.com/2026/07/01/a...

What movies make you feel good or provide comfort? If you're like me, most of them are from the past -- the '80s, '90s and early 2000s. One of them is #10ThingsIHateAboutYou ... the combo of Julia Stiles & Heath Ledger being growly/put-upon ... then dancing 🕺 1/3

Wowowowowow this looks creepy & insane (but good) #TheEastPalace #kdramas www.youtube.com/watch?v=loic...

He spent 16 years in prison, wrongfully convicted of raping author Alice Sebold. What his exoneration reveals is a system more fixated on easy answers and closing cases than it is on justice for the accused or the victim, both of whom have been left broken. New, by Joaquin Sapien @propublica.org

A cute, not-so-little snail face for your feed: meet the Red Giant (Indrella ampulla), a stunning species native to the Western Ghats of India.

I am looking for women of color, particularly BIPOC, to interview about early Alzheimer’s diagnosis — That is, diagnosis before symptoms progressed significantly and how it has changed how you live your life. 1/3

Sickened by what's been uncovered about #MirandasPlace

L.A health officials have confirmed the county's seventh measles case this year. If you were at Burbank Airport on June 17, we have tips on what to do.

Oops - I didn’t think you’d actually do it! 😂 Okay, I grabbed @potatobay.bsky.social and I will reveal its mysteries unto you. 🥔

I think about gay men during the AIDS crisis, in the face of what often seemed like utter hopelessness, using everything in the arsenal--rage, resolve, defiance, humor, sexual energy, imagination, and art--to prevent despair from ruling the day. Even Larry Kramer didn't simply say, "We're doomed."

Growing kelp might not be a viable CO₂ removal technique.

“I continue to maintain that my arrest was retaliatory, as I was engaging in protected speech at a public meeting. These actions as well as the undue resulting responses by the City of Claremore should raise major concern”

My #TwilightZone nightmare

**whispers loudly** i don't care

I love #TheOtherBennetSister so much, especially because it makes me genuinely laugh. Thrilled we'll see the characters again! I spoke to the star Ella Bruccoleri and writer/EP Sarah Quintrell about why we love Mary for @salon.com www.salon.com/2026/06/25/o...

Doing a journalism thing on Thursday in #Minneapolis. Hope to see my fellow #AsianAmerican journalists there! @aajaofficial.bsky.social #AAJA

I just think they're neat

"Expecting me to read books and look up words is discriminatory" is for sure a viewpoint that crops up online, and it's very important to make fun of it every time

During the #WorldCup match between USA vs Australia, referee Felix Zwayer fell due to leg cramps in the heat, but a bottle or PICKLE JUICE saved the day since it's full of sodium and electrolytes...

I can even fly in the sky. お空も飛べちゃいますっ☆

Sooo, I didn't love #WidowsBay *ducks* ... but I don't tend to like Stephen King or King-like projects (the one exception is Stand By Me). What DID work for me? A fantastic cast that delivered on the much-needed cheeky humor that made it clear it was aware of its well-trod tropes & archetypes ...

Just in time for Pride, we have news about the notorious "pink planet," a billion year-old gas supergiant that's 57 light years from Earth. Turns out that this old, pink planet is extremely salty, which feels relatable. news.northwestern.edu/stories/2026...

Black women grow the majority of the world's food, yet in the U.S., their representation in agriculture is tiny. @19thnews and @gbhnews look at why that's the case, and projects that are trying to change things. https://flip.it/onHoU8 #blackhistory #agriculture #juneteenth
