I have hated Larry Summers since at least 2001. He is a shitty neoliberal deregulating milquetoasty jetsetting mediocre white man who used the most anodyne language to suggest that women are dumb. I don’t know any Harvard grads who liked the guy and if I do I’d like to un-know them.

I was gonna block them but I had already blocked them from some other list. Btw I am not on here much. Moved to Mastodon. I am tooting with the pleistocenians.

Folks—I’m enjoying Mastodon, and especially the turtleisland instance. It feels very ‘community’ over there. I realized that I personally don’t need Bluesky, and really disliked the latest anti-trans nonsense. I’ll pop in from time to time. turtleisland.social/@esantiestevan

the thing is, bsky overlords, I deleted my Facebook, my Instagram, and my Twitter, and I can delete my Bluesky with very little worry.

\mm/

You know what? I decided to block Fortune. I would never read that magazine on a stand or on an airplane—why should I read it here?

the Latinidad of Netflix’s Wednesday makes me, as they say, low key happy.

as someone else said, LUFTWAFFLES I won’t stick around on here for anti-trans fascism.

It’s tiiiiiime to look at Tyler Cowen’s hard drive @georgemasonu.bsky.social

Jesse Singal is not a good person for Bluesky. www.transgendermap.com/issues/topic...

imagine a world where you can eat a waffle for breakfast and not be a huge cunt about it

Jay is Elonposting. Bluesky is for trans people. Doesn’t she know that?

Beautiful response by UW Psych 201 So what’s the Nazi’s name? Just curious

Kai: how are you both 50% Mexican and 90% European? Me: Ahhh, because that 50% Mexican is about 38% Spaniard and 12% Indigenous. Mexican is a nationality, not an ethnicity. (Recently figured out I’m prolly 1/8th Rarámuri, not that it matters compared to 10%. 10%, 12%—details)

My son is fascinated with empires. We have now been talking about colonial imperialism, and yes, I have been indoctrinating him via jokes. Horrible jokes. Spaniards: sayyyyy, brown people, got any gold? No? Got any hands? We’ll cut those off instead.

We are thrilled to announce that our NEW Large Language Model will be released on 11.18.25.

I am very happy to have heard Jane Goodall speak about her organization, Roots and Shoots. I have a pic somewhere of my mom with her.

It’s Blocktober. :)

Let this be a sign 🤞🏼

Sweet THE PURGE: STUPID VERSION Scene: Pete Hegseth is busily drinking maraschino cherry juice

Whoops! Spanked the NS WAV4 bass too hard and I have to adjust the bridge now. (Bass is tuned in 5ths to low C.) (Song I was abusing the bass to was “Touch, Peel, and Stand”, lol)

Is anyone in Los Angeles feeling unwell lately? I got a mild cold and the main symptom is being incredibly sleepy. Unless this is the sensation of impending doom and stress, and this is how my body is handling it… (??)

you get the feeling that things are being run by someone who is asking chatgpt how an authoritarian regime should consolidate power

If we are gonna do this, Pete Hegseth, I want to point out that I can do pull-ups without kipping, you weak-ass mofo. Therefore, I’m more qualified to be Secretary of War. My first action would be to abolish the military ;) And also to send you to therapy, dude.

Here ya go 😄

Ai, echi kawí. Nakí uché kawí simí, ukumea arí siyoname reyawi yuwa. Ne tasi naki ma ko ke echi United States. Ne cha okó surachí.

I blocked BadEmpanada. I don’t like people who huff their own flatulence and think it smells like roses. I don’t care what their ideas are. People who are full of themselves are not for me.

Ecuador is a beautiful country, with strong Indigenous communities and resistance. Unfortunately, that is not enough to bring about social and environmental justice as of yet.

I want more nature and Indigeneity on my feed and less meta-punditry.

one job ends, I do a videographer gig, and get offered a new, possibly exciting and stable and growth oriented job, because I went to a dinner after the gig. on an unrelated note, The Moody Blues. I had forgotten what a creative band they were. Mellotron!

I have been haunted by this statement all day www.kgw.com/article/news...

I have been feeling really weird today. I think it’s due to a gig job ending with a whimper. Money... Read more: https://longer.blue/posts/YJH0aEZLMf

America loves its 2nd Amendment so much. It will sacrifice literally anything on the altar to that amendment. No life is more sacred than that one, comma riddled, confusing sentence. (yeah, I know I put a bunch of commas in my sentence as well.)

Released on this day in 1987, the sixth studio album by #DepecheMode was "Music for the Masses". It featured such recognizable tracks as "Strangelove" and "Never Let Me Down Again".

Head Like A Ho

In a vat

I de-Goodreaded myself and now I’m putting new books to read on TheStoryGraph <3 (Goodreads is owned by Amazon) Also, I quit Amazon! You can find all your electronics on NewEgg and B&H. No more Prime, and trying my best to not buy from Amazon, like, EVER again.

This activist's guitar was destroyed by ICE today. ICE fired multiple rounds of rubber bullets at us, and the guitar was struck. I am trying to raise $800 to help replace their instrument, which they rely on for gigs. I bet someone out here can straight up cover the cost. DM me.

You mean to tell me a Burgess shaled these radiodonts?

my son is making me watch “Empire speedrun historical videos” on YouTube and they are hilarious. Empires spread, and then get eaten away! hehehe

I taught kids art all day and now I’m listening to Harry Belafonte sing “Hold ‘em Joe”.

Uh Peter Thiel is a weird dumbass

My mom in a Dionysian afterlife, grape leaves in her hair, talking with her mouth full: “I outlived Robert Redford. I lived to 92. Of course, he was a hunk.”

got asked to do a rush cleanup job on a podcast and I’m happy. why yes, of COURSE the podcast is a trans geek podcast (are there any other kinds?) I’m in such limbo but I *will* get these jobs laid out on Fiverr eventually. #izotopeRX, coming in clutch! #audioengineering

Another one. Sh00t1n 4 teh lulz

Wow. I have been waiting my entire life to see this. I recall reading “In The Wake of Sea Serpents”.

Felt *intensely* down. Watched They Might Be Giants videos. Feeling a little better.

I have been in a liminal space for quite a while—the space in which my house remains unsold. Unoffered upon, even. I want to move forward with, well, moving, and music, and nonprofits, and remote work, and electric bicycles in the streets of Costa Rica. that is not to be just yet, though.
