in an exciting turn of events, my genealogical research appears to show that one of the founders of the league of the south was lying about having a confederate grandpa.

@socialistdogmom.bsky.social has dropped part 1 of what I expect to be the definitive history of this hideous, hilarious statue

And hear me with one of the realest people I know, @socialistdogmom.bsky.social, talking about Strange People on the Hill and the hell that came with writing it: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

NEW from LCRW: Christy Gafford worked 40-60 hour weeks for Sean Feucht's ministry projects like Burn 24/7 and Let Us Worship. She never got paid. She spoke to @katerqburns.bsky.social about the financial and spiritual abuse rampant in Feucht's projects.

A bunch of legal podcasts and analyses will be discussing today's SCOTUS decision with lawyers who are neither queer nor trans, so if you want to talk to an attorney who (1) is actually trans, and (2) experienced conversion therapy, hit me up. [email protected].

i started some marigold seeds yesterday but tractor supply didn’t have potted marigolds in yet. i can’t go another day without them. but i can’t bear the disappointment of driving to lowe’s and not finding them. does anyone know if the cville lowe’s has marigolds in yet? 🥺

Molly interviews @michaelehayden.bsky.social about his new book, Strange People on the Hill. The book is an intimate portrait of what happened in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia after a white nationalist group moved into the castle on the hill. @socialistdogmom.bsky.social linktr.ee/ICHHpod

are they showing him AI videos of a make believe guy? does he think the ayatollah and the president are the same job? what does he think is happening. what new regime.

Please vote for our shows or I will cry!

Please vote for my Darién Gap series (a dream worth dying for) if you have time. i don’t really expect to get recognition for this kinda work, God knows we didn’t for years, but it makes me happy to see more people care about my friends and their stories. vote.webbyawards.com/PublicVoting...

lying about it happening on april fool's day: mean-spirited, hurtful, not funny at all it actually happening on april fool's day: possibly the funniest thing of all time

evidence so far seems to suggest that i was not in fact going to die nor have i contracted a previously unknown respiratory illness. a single store brand claritin has restored me to perfect health. what a mystery the body is.

Check out my interview with Christopher Mathias here: visunews.substack.com/p/interview-...

it’s finally the best time of year, when you can just wander around tractor supply with no plan at all. what business do i have with a blackberry bush? absolutely none!! how fun!

i thought goad was being a silly little jokester but this is a real thing that happened in the news today, byron noem is big into bimbofication. congrats to the online sex professionals who got 25 grand out of him while he was putting on his big fake tits.

It's a good day to honor the memory of the late, great Mira Bellwether by buying a trans woman a pizza or other food of her choice. If you're not familiar w this legend here's the cover of her most famous zine ($10 at fuckingtranswomen.org). I can't believe it's been 4 yrs since we lost her 💔

It's Trans Day of Visibility today. If you're trans and are raising money for something (I don't care what it is), reply to this thread and I will boost you. If you are a cis person, take a look and find someone to support if you can. Everyone give this a share after.

do it for mira. the replies & quotes are full of opportunities to honor her memory.

I just find it funny that a guy who two popes have specifically called out for doing catholicism wrong is writing a book about catholicism, nobody has done that since like 15th century italy

i have once again fallen victim to the annual amnesia of the allergy sufferer. what is happening to my body? why am i sniffling? my throat is so scratchy. maybe this is a mysterious and terrible new respiratory virus because i don’t get allergies. i say this every year when my allergies start.

dying to know what goes on inside the mind of a person who creates an account on bluesky to search for posts about private equity so they can defend the dignity and value of private equity in the replies of disinterested strangers

private equity is sucking the life out of everything around us

a few months ago we had to throw out a whole rug because it took us too long to notice the dogs had selected one corner as their top secret criminal pissing zone. i thought we were doing better but i fear there may be a new secret piss lair i just haven’t identified yet.

a great new habit i have is that at the end of my workday, i sit down and i say “how’s the war going?” and then i open up eight or ten browser tabs to find out what blew up today and how many people were displaced and the price of oil and what the president has been posting and then i feel quite ill

This story is insane. Married an American, arrested at her greencard interview, flown out of state, nearly killed multiple times when her diabetes was ignored and then mistreated. When she finally got out? Found out her credit card had been used illegally. www.daylightsandiego.org/san-diego-wo...

just gonna click on this little link the president posted to find out what kind of idiotic ghoul wrote this pile of dogshit… lmao.

cardinal pizzaballa, i’m sorry i made so many silly little japes and jests about your name during the conclave but i’m glad i got them all out of my system because this is a rather serious moment. israel interfering with access to holy sites isn’t uncommon but this an extreme escalation.

Simultaneously, they mock & degrade women athletes for not being athletic enough, and then when a few of us are that athletic, they say we must not be real women. The end state of this reasoning is a world where “real” women don’t — and then can’t — play sports. Policing gender hurts women athletes.

I am in Old San Juan reporting on a fairly large (~1k) protest against a luxury hotel development in Cabo Rojo. There’ve been many protests on that side of the archipelago, but this is the first of 2026 in the metro that’s this big.

19 years old Royer Perez-Jimenez is one of the youngest people to die in an ICE camp. His arrest was unnecessarily violent and forceful. He’s shoved to the ground while officers kneel on his back as he struggles to communicate. A few weeks later, he was dead. Abolish ICE

ADF International is backing Elon Musk in X’s fight against the EU’s Digital Services Act fine, even as Grok faces investigations for generating sexualized deepfakes, including of minors. A group that claims to defend children is siding with a platform under scrutiny for exploitation.

Computer, i need a metaphor for the state of US politics. Oof, okay, pretty on the nose but i guess we'll roll with it

Absolute banger of a quote from @socialistdogmom.bsky.social in this episode

incredible news, the african marketplace back behind stonefield has injera. i had accepted my fate and was happy enough eating my homemade wat with a spoon but this is huge. this changes everything.

i don’t even know what a bank is anymore

At the end of this exploration of nazi serial killer Joseph Paul Franklin and the novel loosely based on his crimes, the question remains: did any of his friends in the white power movement know what he was going to do before he did it? What clues does the novel hold? linktr.ee/weirdlittleg...

this is, unfortunately, already well established law. these lawyers aren’t saying anything surprising. the supreme court has been pretty clear on this one.

the girl guides in the UK just kicked out all their trans members specifically bc they were threatened with a lawsuit from a rowling-funded group

Shut the fuck up

breakfast with the boys

things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes

which, incidentally, is exactly what was going on when those statues went up in the 1920s, 60 years after the war. the lost cause keeps losing but there's always a loud contingent of racists who won't give up the ghost.

going back in time 11 hours to reassure myself that i can both read and write and it only took about 8 hours to pound out 6400 words and i didn’t even cry one time.

ground invasion this weekend queen??

i’m so sick of learning about new stuff this guy did to a dead animal

posting fifty times because i’m supposed to be writing and every time i so much as look at the blank page i feel as though i never even learned to read let alone write. who me? write 6000 words today? you have the wrong girl, i don’t even know the alphabet.

the best patch of grass is the one your brother is already resting on
