Betsy Buttercup has more vaccines coming up, and she also needs to be sedated for an oral examination by the vet. If anyone would like to send us some funds to help out, that would be a big help. Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/jeremycshipp Venmo: venmo.com/u/2252430720... PayPal: www.paypal.com/paypalme/Jer...

I’m not arguing with no account defending AI. My grandmother lives in an area being environmentally compromised currently by an ai data center. I remember the color of the lake before they built it and the sludge I see in it when I go to see her. Shut the fuck up about “the benefits of AI” forever.

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum. Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

Right wing influencer Jake Lang decided it would help his click count if he filmed himself destroying a large anti-ICE ice sculpture at the Minnesota capitol. In reality, he provided irrefutable evidence that he committed felony destruction of property by destroying a $6,000 sculpture.

Tesla driver’s devastating 911 call while stuck in fiery car revealed: ‘Help please … I am going to die’ A 20-year-old Tesla driver pleaded with a 911 operator to save his life as he was trapped in a burning car, according to a wrongful death lawsuit against Tesla filed by his mother on Wednesday.

I get paid next Friday but I have under $300 to get lunch and snacks 😢 thankfully my friend got us groceries lol

One of the reasons I so greatly dislike the “can men and women be friends?” nonsense (yes, full stop, shut up) is that it casts suspicion on people with opposite-sex friends instead of where it more often belongs: on people with no opposite-sex friends.

There’s a thing to how regional niche semi-elite schools held out even longer because of how their feeder schools were structured. Rose-Hulman Institite of Technology* (1995), the Citadel (1995), VMI (1997) *grads had weird vibes because of this to me, a guy

the american high school movement was the undoing of the single-sex college—makes sense that elite schools held out longer, b/c private feeders were single-sex

One of these days I'm going to do a serious deep-dive research project looking at the panty raid craze. There's real evidence that a significant motivator for it was a desire among young men AND women for unmediated nonsexual intimate contact with each other.

I did some research about men’s colleges debating becoming coed in the 60s and 70s, and the rationale that schools found most persuasive was that it would create a better environment for the men

Anyway, yeah. The overwhelming impression one gets from so many of these emails is that a lot of them are guys who have never had a real, serious friendship with a woman in their lives. Which sucks for them, but also sucks for every woman who has to deal with them, ever.

I think a lot about how one of the things that the cultural upheaval of the 1960s produced in the United States was a HUGE decline in compulsory homosociality, with tremendous beneficial results.

Here in the UK the old tradition of single-sex boarding schools for the children of the wealthy actively produces a culture of boys who are desperate for feminine attention but have no idea how to interact with women or see them as anything other than objects of desire. Those boys end up in power.

I was literally just talking at length yesterday about how I don’t think about my gender much until I run into a wall, usually via a cis dude locked into rigid scripts. It doesn’t even have to be violent, sexual, or extreme — it can be banal & “harmless” exclusion of women from camaraderie & trust.

People who reply "this point is not new", it's hard to begin to understand the extent of the damage to countless girls and women over many decades when the latest addition to the Epstein files database included "more than 3 million pages, 2,000 videos and 180,000 images". www.pbs.org/newshour/sho...

How many opportunities did I lose because men I encountered or worked with did (or didn't) think of me as someone they could get in bed? What was the point of a reporter willing to cover an active warzone if they were still laid off after bad decisions made by the paper's senior managers and owner?

At the same time, the extent of the Washington Post layoffs highlight how it didn't matter how hardworking, loyal, smart, collaborative, award-winning, competitive, knowledgeable and devoted so many of the staff were. It wasn't enough to prevent being laid off by one of the richest men in the world.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Every American needs to watch this:

Our first step is to get me to @pumpkinstars.bsky.social's place in Glendale, CA! Pumpkin is mostly bedbound and needs my help around the house. I have (on-average) more functionality... At least when indoors and not having my autoimmune disorder triggered by the dirt and cold of tent life!

I'm not gambling on the kindness of strangers, I'm investing in future probability derivatives based on the inherent goodness of people. 🙏⚒️💕💸🏳‍⚧♿💜

Whistleblower Aid represents many whistleblowers who take on the federal government. Great account to follow and organization to support @wbaidlaw.bsky.social

I want 2026 to be the year that’s full of absorbing dinner dates where we lose track of time, FMTYs to fun and niche locations, and overnights in gorgeously designed suites, all booked by people who follow me on Bluesky.

even within "sexuality categories" and "trans categories" the creation and exploration of scene (ways of making culture around sexuality, embodiment, art, and life) are conditioned upon shared and different circumstances around how we negotiate our bodies and who we are attracted to alongside

i think ppl have this mistaken belief that just b/c it is undoubtedly true that lgbtq people all struggle towards liberation together that this means everyone must necessarily agree on universal conceptions of embodiment, desire, futures, or that scenes & subcultures w/ diff. priorities don't exist

protip! if you dont give a shit about life or death you can feed swans right out of your hand

Please help my friend Allison!

the hornier i get the less i mask

So, @politicsprose.bsky.social doesn't post on here, but I'll be joining Lester Feder — who I don't think is on here — tomorrow night at their Wharf location to talk about his new book, The Queer Face of War, out of his reporting on Ukraine. Join us! politics-prose.com/j-lester-fed...

journalists are workers who deserve to be paid fairly for our labor and I think that far too few consumers of media recognize or even care about this fact

cops: sex trafficking victims are impossible to find! most of them don’t even know they’ve been trafficked. dozens of women over decades: here’s our sworn statements about jeff epstein cops: … prosecutors: … anti-trafficking task forces: … cops: we have no choice but to do a craigslist sting

We are now HALFWAY THROUGH our KS and less than $1k away from DOUBLING our funding goal which is absurd. If you haven't secured a copy yet, don't take my word for it. Here's praise for SYTI from @jedmackay.bsky.social @kierongillen.bsky.social @al-ewing.bsky.social and @judedoyle.bsky.social.

Early transition advice: The word "no" can be used to enforce refusal in situations where you do not want or can't do something that's being asked of you

Today's vibe

🤬 This happened to my wife, too, although she finally got a doctor to pay attention before other organs were destroyed. Everything was fused together, though, and the surgeon had to carefully tease it all apart

When my wife was 13, she told her (male) doctor how painful her periods were. He told her that's how periods were. This continued until she passed out in the bathroom at work. Then they learned she had the worst csse of endimetriosis they'd ever seen. Untreated for 20 years. Fuck the Patriarchy.

We all forgot about this but this is probably the best headline to explain the guys whole vibe

With so much Muppet talk tonight remembering there is this comic about how they did this scene.

Bay Area prosecutors are continuing to pursue felony charges against pro-Palestine activists who staged sit-ins in 2024 @psfrench.bsky.social reports how the cases represent a notable escalation in punishment against nonviolent demonstrators boltsmag.org/stanford-san...

among other things, Trump freed this guy, and gave his toxic celebrity a new lease on life.

This is amazing.

Y'all...I...I don't get it! This...this...isn't a real number right!? *incoherent gay poet noises*

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."
