Since rap and k-pop came up I was revisiting some Korean hip-hop and was reminded of the excellent lesbian indie rapper Sleeq…you are all welcome for the rec! youtu.be/g6MMW8da90s?...

By the beginning of the 12th chapter, Darcy has decided that Elizabeth has stayed too long because he has developed a crush, and he’s noticed that Caroline has been flirtier, so he has feelings that are too big in all directions, and it has to stop. Deeply relatable. I’ve turned around on him too!??

Papa Solo style

just had a great conversation with mitch mcconnell. I asked him what he thought about redistricting and he spelled out I-T-9-W-YES-H-R-GOODBYE. does anyone with more ouija board experience know what it might mean?

it’s good that I’m in Maine at this specific time in my life because every time someone casually asks how I am I say “unemployed!” and Maine’s social norms are such that no one is bothered by this reply and they ask exactly the right number of follow-up questions

since I finished my dissertation everything I make actually feels like more of an achievement. such as this intentionally silly youtube playlist, which unequivocally rules. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Made the mistake of looking at replies to a post about Maine’s senate race on Threads and had the displeasure of seeing several people float Heather Cox Richardson or Susan Rice…incredible way to show you know nothing about Maine, lol. It has to be Troy Jackson or Shenna Bellows.

I am tech support to the bone and do not like to mystify computer stuff but I genuinely believe in my heart of hearts that printers have demons in them. There is literally no other explanation.

Incredible news. Illinois Governor Pritzker has signed a law removing testosterone HRT from the PDMP program, a program other states can use to access people's prescription records across state lines. It will protect trans people in IL from places like TX. Subscribe to support our journalism.

the Pfizer building is apparently having trouble remaining erect

A man who publicly was doing something which, when done wrong, can cause graft-vs-host disease, an autoimmune disease which can attack, among other things, your GI tract, now has an autoimmune disease which is attacking his GI tract. What a coincidence.

This is a completely normal statement ("Guess what, as a grownup you'll also occasionally stay up all night having fun and then drag yourself into work at 8am full of regrets") and the replies are unhinged. I'd say once again that media literacy is dead, but I think 70% are deliberate bad faith.

update: still sunburnt and internet still out

today two very maine things happened to me: - I got sunburnt in the ocean despite wearing sunscreen - a pulp truck took out the internet service for the whole road and I barely have cell service here

I think he’s baiting them to admit it’s code for other stuff “oh, you guys like the Latin Mass? that’s what this is about? Latin? nothing else? no weird creepo vibes? no stochastic terrorism? just Latin, the language, completely on its own? sure, go ahead!”

Since I’ve been doing a lot of genealogy lately I’ve been thinking about descent and identity a lot. It’s a bit mind-bending to think that Walter F White and my Nana probably have roughly the same proportion African ancestry, but my Nana didn’t know about it until she was in her 90s.

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

sorry you will have a what now

the inside of my brain right now is just “stop. waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah” www.instagram.com/reel/DaQECYY...

I just admitted that I only know in broad strokes what “Vatican 2” is and Justin was like “okay so you know when they release a new edition of D&D”

Snick is finally starting to appreciate that if she naps in a lap she gets extra pets

prepare to have your daughter accused of being a boy and face demands that her gentials be inspected if the dad on the other team thinks that she fouled his special snowflake too hard

hundreds of years of inertia, a political culture that treats judges as theologians, working against us. the push seems impossible but it's been impossible before. may one day we all live to see that court turned to rubble, and for rule by the people and for the people to live from sea to sea.

See, people always want to make this just about "sports," but the real upshot here is that, 6-3, trans women can't make a claim under the Equal Protection Clause. And if they can't do that, it's hard to see how they have constitutional rights.

Not the point and not going to sway anyone, but as someone who has a degree in (among other things) biological anthropology, I just want to point out that the argument that there is only a gender binary is complete and utter bunk, the sort of thing that gets demolished in a 101 course on this stuff.

5-4 on the Constitutional question? What the fucking FUCK.

An open letter, to readers, about Charity and Sylvia. I am very pained to feel the need to write this. #queerhistory #pride

"you're scaring the hoes" ENOUGH. do not project your own cowardice unto the hoes. I have heard their words and seen their deeds, and you besmirch both. die where you stand

My family has always said I look just like my paternal grandfather — which is objectively true — but today I saw this photo of my paternal grandmother’s elder sister and I am FLOORED by how much I resemble her. And I knew her! She died just a few years ago.

I just assumed someone was interested in my Cask of Amontillado

I encourage everyone to explore this beautiful amazing perfect thread. it’s time to blow up the sun!

oh god PLEASE

BREAKING: On the 39th anniversary of the founding of ACT UP, protestors have shut down traffic outside Grand Central demanding “Money for AIDS and healthcare, not for ICE and warfare.”

One last thing: I often see people saying things like ‘never talk to the police without a lawyer’ and a lot of people don’t have lawyers and are like, what should I do? The answer is that you should not talk to the police at all.

Whatever shall we do without the always wrong man on our side

one thing about hobi he WILL duckface his way through any event like the hottest girl you knew in 2012.. and he's still the hottest girl you know

if I ever muster up the energy to get back on The Apps I will definitely be putting “Bossy Round-Face” on my profile because honestly nothing has ever been more accurate to my essence as a human being

last night I got two mosquito bites on my leg and they are STILL fucking quarter-sized and itchy as hell. about to turn into that person on twitter who took like 25 benadryl a day and was convinced that every medical problem on earth was actually an allergic reaction

Disseminating the chart for everyone to gauge accordingly

I'm so fucking tired of hearing that trans kids need to eat shit. That we need to let lawless bygones be bygones. That data centers get all our water and we just need to adjust to the future. That the Supreme Court is static and we just need to sit there and not have rights.

This is a fight between the volunteers of the Democratic Party and the consultant/billionaire class of the Democratic Party. That's what it is.

At caucus, they asked us, the party faithful, if we should add "abolish ICE" language to the Colorado Democratic Party platform. It passed with 98% approval. 98 fucking percent. That's why we're mad. Because y'all don't match our energy.

I have 5: - Laura Marling, Once I Was An Eagle (2013) - James Taylor, One Man Dog (1972) - RM, Right Place Wrong Person (2024) - Carly Rae Jepsen, The Loveliest Time (2023) - Vanessa Carlton, Rabbits on the Run (2011)

coastal maine nighttime rain almost can’t be ruined by a stray mosquito here and there

if anyone in madison, wisconsin is in the mood for a side quest you should take photos of the area where butter once melted into a river and flowed through the city!!!! and add it to the page captioned "the site of the disaster" or something like that!!!!

there's what looks like a cool event performing Terry Riley's "In C" for his birthday but there are 13 musicians and not one is a woman and you know what, do better. don't tell me there aren't qualified women musicians in the metro detroit area

seeing disclosure day again, happy father’s day to me

I’ve recently rediscovered one of the best sleep aids of all time: a 3-hour documentary about the mothman in the style of a 90s PBS special
