I am struggling to say something coherent that sums up Alice Wong’s legacy. She was just an amazing person, and I feel so lucky to have worked with her and gotten to know her. Her passing is such a loss for the community. She was one of our brightest lights.

Fuck all the way off, Megyn

What the actual fuck

For fuck’s sake. I’m not surprised that the Dems folded like a card table but ugggggggggh.

I just called and left an I-am-barely-managing-to-contain-my-rage (but still polite) message for our buddy Chuck 🫠

I had one of those not-quite-awake dreams this morning where there was an alternate universe version of the movie Hocus Pocus called Locust Pocus. It featured the three Sanderson sisters as witch-bug hybrids.

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOO

For the afternoon/evening crowd! I updated my long-ago Bitch Magazine feature on r/IllnessFakers for @theflytrapmedia.com

I am thrilled to make my debut on @theflytrapmedia.com today with an old-ish (but still solid) reprint of my 2020 Bitch Media piece about the Illness Fakers subreddit the-flytrap.ghost.io/fake-it-off/

We are delighted to post the first Bitch Media reprint on The Flytrap! In a piece originally published in March 2020, @annaham.bsky.social delved into Reddit’s r/Illnessfakers community, that purports to expose con artists, but really exposes the politics of disbelief.

Breaking News: Late last night Conde Nast illegally fired 4 union organizers who asked company execs to explain the downsizing of Teen Vogue and continued layoffs. We’ve filed a grievance.

Sushi got a new squeaky duck yesterday and was SO excited that he crawled all over my lap while I was removing it from its packaging

Dick Cheney departs the world he made: defector.com/dick-cheney-...

Dick Cheney was a horrible person. If you don’t want people to celebrate your death, maybe avoid being a huge piece of shit while you’re alive.

In addition to its politics coverage generally, Teen Vogue was one of the few mainstream outlets that had incredible coverage of disability issues written by actual disabled writers. Not sure what’s left on that front now. Maybe just @19thnews.org and @motherjones.com?

This is a very intense, interesting read from @rtraister.bsky.social about what the deal is with elder establishment Dems who scoff at the idea of retirement nymag.com/intelligence...

Brianna Wu update: she is still the worst!

Trump has some of THE worst design taste I have ever seen (not a surprise since very wealthy people tend to have shitty taste, but still)

Flight of the Conchords is one of my favorite TV series to ever air, but I do not love getting the chorus of one of their songs stuck in my head at 8:50 PM on a weeknight when I am too tired to function

Hereditary is my favorite horror movie because it is so existentially terrifying (spoiler warning for a movie released in 2018) —the grandma sells out ✨her entire family✨ because she wants to be cult royalty. What an amazing metaphor for familial & generational trauma.

honestly hard not to have my own satanic panic when people are running around doing things like this

A key aspect of authoritrianism is the targeted persecution of political enemies.
