Sexual expression is better than sexual repression.

Taste of #Denmark closed four years ago in Oakland. This would more than make up for its loss.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

#MusicToGetThroughAFacistEra #MidnightOil - 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 #ShortMemory was hitting me particularly hard this morning.

ICE can't even deal with irate middle-aged midwesterners. how does he occupy hundreds, if not thousands, of polling cites and precincts? trump v. illinois clarified that he has no legal authority to unilaterally commandeer national guards, how does he move forward from there?

this is the crux of it i think. i'm naive for not cowering in fear. if my grandfather had tried to vote for the first ten years of his adult life he could have been killed. i think i can deal with an ICE chud at my polling place.

Froze my ass off at the Iowa City anti-ICE rally, but it was worth it

Jonathan Daniels was from Keene, NH. He was 26 in 1965 when he answered Dr. King's call for clergy to come to Selma. He had just been released from jail and was walking with another clergyman and two Black activists, Joyce Bailey and 17-year-old Ruby Sales when an unpaid "deputy" confronted them.

This has got to be an art prank.

Maybe they should ship him there alone, so he can get a feel for the vibe there? They could personally thank him as a liberator. 😏

Donald Trump’s reckless and unconstitutional operations in Venezuela—including this morning’s arrest of a foreign leader—are not about enforcing law and order. If they were, he wouldn’t hide them from Congress.

Almost as big as my alma mater, Akron. 😉

Even though I’m an Ohioan by birth and tied to The Ohio State by a number of personal connections, I hope Indiana beats the tar off the Tide. If you’re familiar with the University of Alabama and check my family name, you’ll understand why. This post is about #reparations. #RoseBowl

“You’re my n-word!” I tore that white girl three new assholes.

I think you just created a new music genre. Easy Folk Horror.

"Norman Rockwell was antifa," his granddaughter says. (Fact check: literally true.) www.thebulwark.com/p/norman-roc...

I feel like the answer to "why is American media ignoring that Brigitte Bardot was a far right racist ghoul" is a mix of normalized white supremacy, ageism, and a nativism that makes us think that if it doesn't happen within the US it doesn't matter

My old movie loving teen make brownies in honor of her death because, “She didn’t like anything brown.”

So speaking of @yesthatselke.bsky.social and the TNG episode “Darmok”, Lori was talking this morning about how she came across a thread that says that memes are a form of figurative language. It’s just visual speech. “Willem Defoe looks up, frightened.”

Sleepy #Caturday

Laying in bed, sucking on #Gobstoppers (when I can resist satisfyingly crunching them that is), listening to #Björk ‘s #DolbyAtmos mixes of her albums. It’s a good Friday.

Merry Christmas! Welcome to the Midwest!

Speaking of cheap #NFL owners, I learned that the Haslam’s, the owners of the #Browns and the #ColumbusCrew, tried to use $600m in #Ohio unclaimed funds to pay for a new Browns’ stadium. What the actual fuck? A judge has at least temporarily halted the transfer, but it made me wonder. (1)

Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.

I’m out. Lost #TheLittleDrummerBoyChallenge two days before Christmas Eve thanks to PBS TikTok and their Bowie/Bing story. Bowie hated the song The Little Drummer Boy and refused to sing it. The compromise is what created the magic in their duet.

Have you ever driven a David?

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

Just asking for the class, was that *before* or *after* he condemned an entire generation to die horribly from AIDS while he obliterated all the union protections that kept the rich from exploiting everyone? I’ll hang up and listen.

Ronald Reagan's White House, while officially ignoring and dismissing the AIDS pandemic at a policy level, held a press conference where they *actively laughed about people dying of AIDS* at a personal level — while thousands were dying. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yAzD...
