“It is beneath my dignity to let myself be run over by any trolley, and particularly this trolley, burdened as it is by a cape and a stupid hat.” I wrote for Defector about boycotting Harry Potter, the ‘safe’, kindly face of anti-trans politics: defector.com/its-time-to-...

COMMISSION i did for @eppy.bsky.social! still absolutely enchanted by it 🌙

I personally think a future Dem Congress should create a subcommittee solely dedicated to making this guys life a living hell

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

I’m watching this on repeat. #OscarsonBlacksky

wow, a rare depiction of the coolest guy who ever lived.

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

some of you are getting bread AND circuses???

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

This isn't housing policy per se, but in a city where infant care averages $26k a year, universal child care would function as a massive, de facto housing subsidy—freeing up roughly $2,100 a month for rent. More politicians need to grasp this: when it comes to "affordability," it's all connected.

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

Having seen several abductions up close, it is really hard to convey how much the thing they’re doing is roaming in military convoys until they see someone who is alone and isn’t white, and then jumping out in large numbers, pulling them into a van, and screeching off, all in 90 seconds or so.

Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Happy The Pitt premiere day!

Okay, I will preface this with the GIGANTIC disclaimer that I promise I know how this looks, and I *swear* this is not personally motivated: If you have an old #LiveJournal account, and it has things you still care about in it, download it or import it to Dreamwidth SOON. Details:

Seeing lots of people post clips from Sinatra in "The House I Live In" as a response to Stephen Miller being a racist about Sinatra. Just a random reminder that "The House I Live In" is in the public domain. Every once in a while it's good to remember the public domain is good...

John Oliver has said this explicitly FYI That without local news he couldn't do his show (and to his credit, he's pretty good about crediting his news sources)

To me, my X-Mas!

Pluribus finale recap has been updated to acknowledge an absolutely shameful HamlinFone(*)-related failure on my part: (*) Though one of my followers argues it should be called the HamLine.

Time once again to rep my favorite place for giving: anelder.org - they supply food, firewood and supplies for traditional crafting to Navajo Elders. If you have the cash, please give these folks a hand.

I think it’s time to put this one back out into the ether, friends Come and learn about how the tropes undergirding anti-Jewish hatred and conspiracy theories as they exist today came to be…

Whenever language around what people deserve and what they don't deserve in the US comes around I am reminded at how much this is a game to people, how they can't fathom real lives Not just politicians, but literally our neighbors. The cruelty people will put onto others without a second thought

Fully half of the budget for acquiring new books and materials could be cut. CPL currently has $10 million to spend on books and materials. The 2026 budget leaves them with $5 million.

Had the chance to illustrate for Quanta again, and got to draw one of my favorite animals: sharks! This is for “Shark Data Suggests Animals Scale Like Geometric Objects” by Joanna Thompson. It was really fun to focus on all sorts of species, from the large Whale Shark to the small Spiny Dogfish

If Mamdani wins I will leave New York. I will go live in one of the other 5 houses I have, perhaps the one in South Florida, or the one in Paris, or Napa, or Cabo, but I will definitely leave New York. I will keep my apartment, though, because it's awesome and New York is great. But I will leave.

My final piece for @teenvogue.com politics section was a piece titled "There's a Steep Price to Ignoring Black Expertise" and boy has that come full circle. Thank you @allegrak.bsky.social and the politics editorial team for turning this Head Start kid into a Black woman who writes for the public.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I know a lot of people (cough Millennials) feel like they need to START a thing, START a food bank, build a little free food pantry. My friends, my loves, my dears. Don't start. JOIN. These exist. They have community ties! They have some funding! Accountability! Regulations!

TV Tropes is blocking access to the site not only if you have ad blockers on but location tracking off unless you want to subscribe to their $5 a month/$25 a year subscription plan. Even people who have turned their ad blockers off are reporting the site isn’t working. This all seems like a bad idea
