Holy shit, I need to find this side of TikTok STAT. And also a significant amount of popcorn.

When I came out in 2006 I knew it was dangerous to be who I am, but that was danger in the form of individual, violent bigots. I need you, if you're reading this, to take this seriously in a "people you love are going to get brutalized, institutionalized, and imprisoned" way.

If you've been wondering about this THE OCTOBER GIRL thing I'm talking about all the time, you can hear me talk about it even more, now in podcast format with my friends at @comicbookyeti.com! cryptidcreatorcorner.com/episode/matt...

Hello once again I come to you bearing a #gamedev job, Jackbox is hiring a gameplay engineer! Is that you or someone you know? Check it out! Me, chanting: code code code code You, chanting: job job job job apply.workable.com/jackbox-game...

As an old who survived the 80s when many many did not: These fascist freaks are perfectly serious and now, like then, we will not let them win.

It is not only ethical to encourage people to protest if you believe Trump will shoot nonviolent protesters, it is a moral imperative to protest in that case. Even knowing you may die. Bloody Sunday isn't a metaphor, and King chose the Pettis bridge *because he knew violent reprisal was likely.*

Wrapping up the Dema narrative with Josh again being the one who has to do the heavy lifting. 🤣

Night 9 went a little long because I started working on a small project in the garage and completely lost track of time so you get a morning picture instead this time!

ACTIVELY ANGRY I CANNOT EAT THIS.

The correct response to the rising tide of fascism and authoritarianism is and will always be "NO" and also "FUCK YOU".

[pets the fuzzy cover of the Nova Bishop edition of Breach, realizes that all that we need to take down Dema is enough dust and pet hair] #twentyonepilots

Bonus points for the barrage of ICE ads the podcast network drops in for funsies.

Trans liberation is liberation for everyone.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Sure would be a shame if we continued to share these images both digitally and in physical formats.

Cancel all of my meetings. I'm gonna need at least 8 hours to process this.

Every day I wake up smiling because no matter what happens, my tranny faggot ass can grow a better beard than JD Vance, and my beard game is patchy as fuck.

hi, cis folks! trans people need your help! the FY26 budget gets a vote by 9/30. GOP wants a ban on funds for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. they're trying for other bans, too. we need you to call senators like chuck who don't get it: reps.fyi info & script in the🧵⬇️

As someone absolutely mainlining Critical Role Campaign 2 as my Stressful Work Time Coping Mechanism, is there really any compelling reason NOT to leave tiny dicks everywhere one goes?

Our medieval curator Alison Ray introduces Rawlinson Bodleian Library MS. Rawl. D. 252...a 15th Century necromancer's journal. This manuscript contains spells written in Latin and Middle English, and would have served as a reference for a professional sorcerer. #MedievalMonday

What's amazing about this is that my body demands only a day of hard downtime while it learns to fight and then afterward I get a bonus to my Constitution rolls while helping keep other people safe. 🤘

Denice has done so much for me and others. If you have a few dollars to spare, can you please chip in? I'd be extremely thankful.

Two adorable Egyptian figurines: a roaring hippo and a baby hippo, dating ca 1,800 BC. Hippos were associated with life and rebirth. On display at Neues Museum Berlin. 📷 me 🏺 AncientEgyptBluesky

this is great for two reasons 1, the obvious: brilliant deconstruction of how patriarchy tries to sell total emotional isolation as not just a side effect but a GOAL of doing masculinity correctly 2: the repeated mentions of Buffalo Wild Wings made me laugh so hard

Got my COVID booster yesterday, and am glad I always aim for a weekend because holy fuck.

I for one welcome our rodent overlords

Twitter banned me for a little bit in 2020 for saying that election deniers using graphics that evoked swastikas should go step on a rake.

In which I beg archaeologists to sign up for the fall semester of Skype a Scientist, because we're getting buried in requests for your area of expertise. Sign up here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Also, to make this abundantly clear: This isn't just minneapolis. This is all of Minnesota. So if you know allies in outstate who could sign on, please pass it along to them.

At this rate I'm just going to keep voting out of pure spite.

Our neighbor, kidnapped in front of his kids. Pass the hat.

Today's reminder that chickens are absolutely dinosaurs: I am sitting with them in the yard while they do their morning forage. Moments ago, a three hen ruckus kicked off inches from my chair. Someone found a ringneck snake. After a brief scuffle, Rosemary successfully made off with it and ate it.

No new pics, where are you mentally?

There are violent extremists on the left but they are not in charge of the party. You can find them on social media, not in the halls of power. The violent extremists on the right are in congress, on courts, and sitting in the Oval Office.

If Hitler were murdered today, the Democratic Party would release a statement about the loss of such a charismatic leader who had a hidden creative side.

It's one thing to sensibly decry "political violence" and advocate for "gun laws", words that suggest no actor and therefore may be applied equitably. It's another thing, however, to suggest I must distribute my sympathies equitably as well. Don't make me tap this sign: bsky.app/profile/suyi...

I was today years old when I learned that puffins can fly.

democrat melissa hortman was literally politically assassinated in her fucking home less than 3 months ago and now everyone wants to comment on how bad it’ll be now like ok

Y’all, Missouri needs our help📢 Spread the word… The GOP is trying to ram through another redistricting power grab, but there’s a secret weapon: a referendum —to block it. All it takes is 106,000 signatures across 6 districts. Let’s make sure Missouri voters, not politicians, decide. 1/3

Q: but what if a full Epstein investigation also takes down Bill Clinton????? A:

"We all have roles in this party. I kill strangers with transferrable skills and send them to the Hells, you go out and buy the groceries." #DND

It feels like early 2021 because I am having to scour websites and gameplan how to get a damn COVID shot again. Really appreciate the government trying its best to kill me. Anyhow, helpful FAQ here, and another reason I give Defector my subscription $$.

As someone whose sustaining gig involves talking to a lot of strangers, I am delighted to report more people are using the phrase "cool beans" than I have seen in years.

Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
