SUNY and CUNY are great deals. Socialize the Ivies and distribute their endowments to our public universities.

recommend this show at citygroup.nyc! even more so for the accompanying pamphlet put together by Brad Isnard, Daniel Jonas Roche, & Zara Pfeifer (whose beautiful photographs, shown at Cooper Union last year, are viewable digitally at citygroup & here: www.zarapfeifer.com/thank-you-he...)

RIP to a real one (Hampshire College)

I despise when tech execs describe resistance to a new tech product or paradigm as "being scared" i.e. "I understand why musicians are scared but.." it's so condescending. being politically against something or exercising your right to opt out can come from many places other than "being scared"

I feel in my bones that there's a new Ferrante on the way. please Miss Diva, we need this

craaaaaaazzzieeee little free library pull

in NYC? when hospitals end trans youth care programs, it’s time to ask mamdani about his platform: “…hold private hospital systems denying GAC accountable—hospitals that continue to deny trans youth access to gender affirming care are in violation of NYS Constitution.” www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

The bottom line is that NYC Public Libraries need increased and most importantly STABLE funding annually. Mayor Mamdani promised both and this preliminary budget is a BROKEN PROMISE. There’s time for him to rectify this. NYC library patrons expect that he will.

OK, let’s discuss what’s happened with the proposed NYC public libraries budget for FY 27. Mayor Mamdani @mayor.nyc.gov released his preliminary budget yesterday. This kicks off the city budget process. [Long thread]

gf has to keep reminding me that the movie we’re seeing tomorrow will not have the Kate Bush song in it

Excited to announce our next two books will be through @haymarketbooks.org: first, All Care for All People, on how to end the healthcare crisis and defeat ascendant health fascism; next, Stay Alive Another Week, a @deathpanel.bsky.social reader

The arts are a public good on the same level as education, healthcare, housing, transportation, and public safety. Housing reform, cultural funding equity, and fair wages for artists and cultural workers must all be tackled intersectionally to enable New York City's arts sector to thrive.

general advice from a still recovering from covid person, pace yourselves today, this will all still be happening after you get some rest, and you need it

hate both the unimaginative dismissal of non-metropolitan places as sites and sources of artmaking that is common AND the uncritical boosterism that often emerges in those places in response to perceived and real cultural marginalization

trans power!!!!

“… I’m trying to remember the absolute truth [that] a life in bed is also a life worth living.”

so I watched the new Hallmark lesbian Christmas movie last night, A CHRISTMAS BABY, and today I am watching a new one called THE CHRISTMAS WRITER on Tello (a sapphic movie streaming app, though I just bought the movie on my Apple TV) some gay thoughts:

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

great @eddysarah.bsky.social on the work of Durham artist & gay rights activist Allan Troxler: his paper cuts w titles like 'Earth Heart' & ruminations like "Seems to me that one big difference between the revolutionary and the fascist is that one tries to understand his own heart and one doesn’t."

“a city that working people can love and live in again”

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

and I’ve always said that
