Megyn Kelly being more concerned with the psychological damage that might result from kids seeing a Black Santa Claus than a middle-aged man forcing himself on an underage girl sums up the ethical and moral bankruptcy of MAGA.

We need the 5th wave of feminism right the fuck now and the absolute minimum viable project is an alliance of trans fems, sex workers, and healthcare workers fighting for personal, political, and workplace autonomy with the militancy of the revolution in Rojava Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Jupiter says trans rights

Mamdani is going to implement the Shanshu Prophecy. A vampire with a soul will play a pivotal role in the apocalypse. As a reward, they will be restored into a mortal human being.

Here’s a thought: what if it wasn’t the DEI, but the fact that most organizations only adopted DEI as a messaging strategy and not as a policy strategy? Are we ready for that conversation?

If pronouns are "biological" now, then everyone has to go by they/them until they get a DNA test that proves they are biologically entitled to use gendered pronouns. And they have to carry that on their person to show people in order to be entitled to be called their biological pronouns.

TIL Mount Everest is named after some dead white guy. And not even the dead white guy who climbed it! Its name in Sanskrit is Sagarmatha. Its name in Tibetan is Qomolangma.

2026 Primary Woke Wave

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

Dick Cheney was 84. Which is pretty old, but not really *that* old for a very prominent and very rich guy who was a public figure. Just putting that out there. Something to think about.

“We’ll use everything we can to combat fascism!!!” If you think using transphobic, queerphobic, or racist language, actions, and rhetoric combats fascism, then you’re useless at best. You combat fascism by being just as bigoted as they are? By using language and rhetoric they agree with? Okay then

I’ve been trying to tell people this for a decade. Conservatives hate America and they hate Americans.

I'm reading the Kamala Harris Book so you don't have to: I had to slow my audiobook down to 1x speed (vs. the usual 1.25-1.5) because if you speed it up she sounds as shrill as all the misogynists think she is. 10% of the way in, she has not laughed yet.

ordinary americans are filming ice agents and trying to save their neighbors. for all the hemming and hawing during 2024 about how democracy was an elite concern, the elites gave up far more quickly than average people.

check out this absolutely terrifying ancient babylonian lullaby

There's a lot of abstract talk about nazis right now and I just want to bring it back to concrete reality for a second: Those motherfuckers tried to murder MY GRANDPARENTS.

I absolutely cannot be understate the degree to which "history buff", "history major", "I have a degree in history," etc. DO NOT PRECLUDE A PERSON FROM BEING A NAZI.

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own. Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

I think some purported “leftist” blocked me for pointing out that Curtis Sliwa is, indeed, not based but an old fascist who invented the precursor to the Proud Boys.

Donald Trump to America:

I saw so many elaborate costumes and protest signs that were more like works of art today at No Kings that I can feel giant protest puppets undergoing convergent evolution in real time. We must retvrn to the Bread And Puppet of yore. Nature is healing.

No Kings won't gain us any ground, it's true. But No Kings helps us hold the line — a line that is very much at risk There can be no mass movement if the masses succumb to fear and despair

rest in power miss major. this is what it means to constantly be negotiating your existence!

Contract not in iManage

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war

I am....... antifa

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

2025 is awesome because i get news about the fascist invasion of my state from a taco blog

CALIFORNIANS! you can help make our state better and safer for trans people RIGHT NOW by telling Newsom he needs to sign these bills! We need you!

Is everything very bad lately? Yes. Did I just see the sexiest lesbian dishwasher commercial ever? Also yes.

I spend a lot of time thinking about the baby trans signifier of identifying with characters of the "wrong" gender. I didn't do this as a kid, and I sometimes feel weird about it. And then I remembered that I fully identified with Fievel. God, Fievel still gives me euphoric feelings.

God, Zuckerberg really did turn the entire internet into Hot Or Not Dot Com, didn't he?

The feds cannot arrest, or even surveil, everyone who is cool with trans people, belongs to a union, votes for Mamdani, or has an immigrant cousin. If everyone is a terrorist, no one is a terrorist. Keep fighting.

Frankly, ICE being dissolved should become the most conservative position allowed in democratic politics.

We don’t talk enough about how racists and authoritarians are the ones who actually genuinely hate this country.

It is not appropriate to call fascists "fascist" until a secret moment where they are fascist ENOUGH for the self-appointed civility police And then once we hit that secret moment, the ACTUAL police will arrest you for saying it It's almost as if we're just never allowed to call fascists "fascist"

You know who *else* flew a private plane?

The contractor fixing my busted bathroom just asked me if I want the shower door to open "all the way" and honestly I feel like I'm being gaslit at this point.

One stark marker of how much our society has devolved in just a few years is Bob Iger personally got on a call to convince us to let Disney/HULU make the 1619 Project. That America no longer exists.

In the 2000s, in my first “real” job, a lot of my work involved using extremely advanced google skills. I did not have any college assignments where we googled things, or take any Intro To Search Engines classes. If AI succeeds, using it will be like this. If it doesn’t, you just played yourself.

Is there a subreddit where people will explain what grad school words like "epistemological" and "historicity" mean, and use them in a sentence for you?

I feel like part of the problem is that in the modern era, especially in the United States, people think that in order to count, they have to post about their activism or what they're doing. But here's the thing: you don't. 99% of what I do is stuff I never mention on social media.

If y'all don't see me at some conferences this year... it's because this has been YEARS in the making. Trans people aren't safe here. PLEASE stand up--personally and professionally (lookin' at you, academics)--for the trans people in your life.
