Yet more confirmation of my “face of a poet, soul of a Chav” read of Timotee Chalemet.

quick reminder that NT's production of The Importance of Being Earnest, starring human ray of sunshine Ncuti Gatwa, will be streaming FOR FREE on YouTube this weekend www.radiotimes.com/movies/ncuti...

Today is Abortion Provider Appreciation Day. It exists because Dr. David Gunn was executed by a right wing anti-choice domestic terrorist in 1993. Donate to an abortion fund in a banned state to continue this vital and important work. www.kentuckyhealthjusticenetwork.org/donate.html

💯 I’m a terrible ass kisser and that seems to be requirement no.1 in the maga cult.

in case you've never seen it, this is Roger Ebert on The Mummy

Read @matthewchoi.bsky.social + @danmerica.bsky.social on "The shutdown that everyone has forgotten": www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Re-boosting this thread with alt-text for this post: This image shows a book with a white background and an illustration of a black highwayman's mask on the cover. The title reads: Don't Steal This Book: A Plea from Authors.

In other news whatever Petey is taking, it’s making him look like he dislocated his jaw like a python in this picture and it gives a whole new level to the word “grim”.

Love this kind of science. Also “The squeal of peeling tape, explained” feels like the title of a banger poem

Even this list of Mamdani-focused articles doesn't give a real perspective. 7 of this guy's last 11 pieces are about the mayor. Which raises a question: what's the editorial decision making here? Did an editor decide they needed a "Mamdani might be bad, actually" column?

Yet more confirmation of my “face of a poet, soul of a Chav” read of Timotee Chalemet.

Shame she didn’t get a new husband to go with the coat.

It's interesting how easy it is for people to look at someone *wildly* succeeding at a horrific goal, and continue acting as if they are failing at a very different goal which they have repeatedly and loudly declared they do not have.

"The Price of Safety: Stories of Abortions Denied, Careers Disrupted, and States Left Behind" details the human and economic toll of abortion bans. The anthology uses stories from patients, doctors, business leaders, and others to show the real-world consequences of abortion bans.

*points to my previous post about sentient genital warts*

When you privilege racism over pretty much everything else (except more money for the super rich) it’s inevitable that barely sentient genital warts like this dude float to the top like pond scum. As an aside he may want his one word to be ‘sunblock’. Just saying.

How much more evidence do we need? The ultra-rich and the governments supporting them will destroy everything for the sake of profit, power and pride. Nothing is precious to them - not human life, not the living world - except their own wealth and status. Our survival depends on resisting them.

That dog’s face is yelling “why me” really loudly.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower

The blatant sexism and homophobia. I’ve never understood why my son can rise further up the hierarchy than I can because of the penis I grew for him.

100% agree. I got a text the other day that said “mum this is my new number can you call to check it’s correct”. You don’t need to be a teenage Angelina Jolie or Jonny Lee Miller sporting a punk hair cuts to pull that hack.

Yup. the United States of America wouldn’t exist without genocide. And that instinct is absolutely still there.

This didn't happen. The perception that it did is largely based on fictional shows that were about rich people. Much more common was a household where one person (theoretically Dad in a het household) was the higher earner and paid the housing costs and the other paid utilities & food

Most common was a situation where the lower earning partner did work that wasn't recognized as work. Tutoring, sewing, laundry, domestic labor that people perceive now as worthless. It brought in 20 to 40% of the household income. And often the land or furnishings for that house came from her.

When we talk about genocides in the U.S., there are the many genocides of tribal nations that have been ongoing for centuries. There is also the genocide of Black people, the conditions of which have never gone away. This can be useful historical context for things happening now.

At its most basic Trump voters are experiencing the impact of the tacit deal they made with the Bigot - exactly how much, in very real terms, they’ll have to pay for their racism.

We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.

I agree up to a point and that point relates to the “we”. Most countries have more than one narrative because there’s more than one “we” and the narrative that dominates is tied inexorably to privilege. The fact that the story privilege tells itself (which is currently being proved to have feet of +

Whenever I felt like I couldn’t handle it, I’d remind myself that as children, we are the only ones who can speak to what they were like as parents, the lessons they imparted, the love they gave, in a unique way. You telling those stories only you can tell is the best way to keep their spirit alive

Her trip to Ireland was ruined by this one question?? Gee, I wonder why…

To adapt an old adage ‘Trump’s lie is half way around the world before Democrats truth has its boots on’.

UK-based folks: Switchboard is here for you. Your life is precious. 8000119100 switchboard.lgbt

US-based folks: Trans Lifeline is here for you. Your life is precious. +1-877-565-8860 translifeline.org

I know people are very sensitive about the use of the word “genocide” but the attempts to medically eliminate trans children is very clearly meets the standard because they are trying to eliminate a population and also they know some of those kids are going to kill themselves

That would mean we would have to care about disabled folks and covid comprehensively answered that question. Signed a disabled person.

THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

👁️👁️

The example of Anne Frank is more horrendously apt than is laid out here. Not only Frank’s death in Belsen but the condition of the camp by that stage and the fact that it was the end point for a lot of death marches made it more horrific than our descriptors, like those used on wiki, suggest.

I'm too bored of this to try and be clever about it anymore. If you think that two men kissing, or two women kissing, requires any more explanation than a man kissing a woman, that is homophobia.

Yes, genocide.

And this is how we know 100% it was intentional to hit the girl’s school AND it sure as hell wasn’t done by Iran.

It’s like they can’t miss an opportunity to show all of us their transphobic asses.

“Supervillain” feels like it gives them way too much credit. “Pathetic man babies with no humanity” works just as well.

This is exactly the stuff technology is meant for. youtube.com/shorts/hghlx...

MASSIVELY resent struggling to find the meaning in some turgid, repetitive text only to realize it's "A.i." bullshit that no one wrote and that contains no meaning. Fuck billionaire-owned "A.i." companies forever for WASTING MY TIME, which means STEALING FROM MY ACTUAL LIFE.

it really is just stunningly on the nose that the opening salvo to Trump’s supposed war of liberation in Iran began with bombing a girl’s school. if you put that in fiction people would dismiss it as being too maudlin and heavy-handed, and yet this kind of thing just keeps actually happening.

Again. This matters.
