Just finished a solo RPG, Thousand Year Vampire, and it’s my first I’ve ever tried. My character was a vampire in Trondheim, who moved to York and then New Orleans and NYC. I learned so many things, like the Harrying of the North, Staple City laws, early NYC music halls, and more. Good game :)

Just wait: Tylenol's gonna pay Trump $10M, and he's gonna come out next week saying that actually it's Advil that causes autism.

There's no legal authority to do this at all. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Anyone know how to shut this down? A Facebook page is impersonating me that has a lot of followers - is there a fast way to report it to Facebook, or can readers also do their own reports? www.facebook.com/eriinthemorn...

1. A federal judge has blocked a Trump policy that says the National Endowment for the Arts will disfavor LGBTQ+ performances, ruling it violates their 1A rights. NEA funding is a significant for theatres. Their ban helped stop plays with trans themes. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Unspeakable brutality. www.lgbtqnation.com/2025/09/tran...

We should not care or reward Disney for this. We must make their bottom line hurt for even considering doing something like this. Don't let up. Other companies need to see that bowing to fascism is not something you can do without consequence.

A few people have claimed that the "revoke some trans passports" in my latest story is "hyperbole" or "sensational reporting." The Trump admin in their 1st Circuit Court of Appeals has literally said they will do this if they win. assets.aclu.org/live/uploads...

this is pathetic from the media but especially spanberger. you sound like a timid psycho being unable to hit this issue THAT YOU KNOW IS GOING TO COME UP.

Ok... so on one hand, fuck ABC7 Virginia for the framing of this question. On the other, Abigail Spanberger is really blowing this with her refusal to state clearly her support for trans Virginians.

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Anti-trans activist Beth Bourne strips off nearly all her clothes in the middle of a Davis Board of Education meeting to protest trans people in bathrooms.

1. The Trump administration has filed an emergency motion with the Supreme Court to reinstate its transgender passport restrictions. The filing in the much-criticized shadow docket could cast trans travelers into chaos, with a decision likely soon. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Ok but my wife with a sword is just 😍

Every now and then I get reminded that this song exists. So for all the trans people out there suffering from family rejection, fear, hate, and wishing they had an accepting family, here's a song for you with lots of feels. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tils...

So far the Charlie Kirk fascism memorial just seems to be a lot of Jesus evangelical music and crowd shots. I’m not going to be able to cover it live today but ping me if someone says or does something notable. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB9B...

1. Moms For Liberty has stormed school boards to pass hateful anti-LGBTQ+ policies the last few years. In Davis, though, one chapter president, Beth Bourne, did something completely unexpected this week. She took off her clothing in front of the school board. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Our kiddo got a really nice dice set from the Ren Faire and made the traditional "first roll of the d20 in a new set" roll... and got a nat 1! Noooooooo

Vote with your dollars.

This is such a bad read for many of us who made the move. Links are not deprioritized here. My readership has exploded since moving to Bluesky, and my mental health and work life balance has improved now that I’m not subject to constant death threats and brain rot that lives on twitter.

Our kiddo kicked butt at foam sword fighting, and also, we are SO happy we have a ren faire here in Missoula finally!

1. The Trump admin has demanded New York City to ban trans kids from bathrooms. Mayor Adams has come out in support of Trump's proposal. NY Law protects trans youth, and Adams has no power to implement it. Meanwhile, Mamdani has slammed Adam's comments. Subscribe to support our journalism.

So I just got a $20 bill for a $60 item I bought off etsy from Fedex that says its for customs duty. I've already received the item. I've never gotten something like this before - is this from the new tariff stuff? What happens if you don't pay it?

Companies are about to learn that liberals can to do Disney what the right did to Bud Light.

No one should get violent threats. But if you’re gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. I’Ve been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think it’s evidence that we need to say it louder

There’s just never any situation where you need to vote on the same line as fascists. It’s really not difficult but we can keep pretending it is I suppose.

1. Today, 95 Democrats voted to "honor the legacy" of Charlie Kirk, calling him a "model for young Americans." Kirk was notable for practicing anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans extremism, racism, and violent rhetoric. Among the yes votes was Trans Rep. Sarah McBride. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Republicans just pushed a resolution to "honor the life and legacy" of anti-LGBTQ+ rights leader and extremist Charlie Kirk. Half of the Democrats voted in favor, including transgender representative Sarah McBride.

1. Republicans are attempting to get the FBI to label trans advocacy as domestic terrorism. Project 2025's parent org is pushing it. It would not label all trans people as terrorists, but it would open the door for heavy surveillance and disruption. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Every time I feel like I know a lot about the rise of fascism in Germany, I learn something new.

And no anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-trans provisions. "Protections against lawlessness" are NOT enough.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

“You used to be able to say anything” comedians never been more quiet in their lives

Power doesn't panic.

Silly Jimmy Kimmel. He should have just called for all homeless people to be killed and he’d still have a job.

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control. It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

Even Obama is now pointing out the hate that Charlie Kirk put out into the world while he was alive. The reaction to Kirk's death has revealed that we are not the same country as we used to be, even for Obama. We recognize the stakes, and aren't willing to paper over them with platitudes.

1. Anti-trans rhetoric heated up yesterday on the far-right, with two congresspeople and major Republican figures calling for the institutionalization of trans people. Both Reps Nancy Mace and Ronny Jackson made such calls. Musk, Loomer, and Walsh echoed them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Maybe Ezra Klein should have asked Ben Shapiro about his friend and fellow Daily Wire podcaster, Matt Walsh, who is calling for the death of everyone on the left and LGBTQ people.

The court documents for Tyler Robinson's murder charge of Charlie Kirk are released. Full documents are here. I anticipate the far right will seize on the text Tyler made to his roommate saying "I had enough of his hatred. Some hate can't be negotiated out." s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

1. UCLA is in negotiations with Trump. Now we know the demands. Trump wants a statement that UCLA does not recognize trans student identities, a ban on youth care at UCLA clinics, bathroom bans, and more. Students are fighting back. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Hmmm.

Contrast this with Vice President JD Vance's angry screed about how "there can be no unity" and pledge to dismantle left-leaning nonprofits in a draconian, fascist crackdown on dissent. Ezra Klein is living in a different world from the rest of us right now.

Now apply this policy this way to Megan McArdle's comments about trans people

The American right has spent decades arguing that hate speech is protected under the first amendment…(with rare exception, I believe they are right) Now the US Attorney General Pam Bondi says this:

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down. Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.

A social media user—wrongly accused of posting negatively about Charlie Kirk—was suspended from his job alongside a tidal wave of threatening messages and phone calls, sending his mother and sister fleeing from their home. trib.al/pOclcrP

Got fired from my job for saying that Samantha on Bewitched didn’t really wiggle her nose, she was just kind of twitching her mouth back and forth.
