Reading about the indictment of Raul Castro from the nation currently using drones to sink fishing boats, bombing schools in Iran, and gleefully encouraging the genocide of Palestinians truly makes me sick to my stomach.

Oh, you don't want your existence to be a "wedge issue"?! May I introduce you to trans people and immigrants?

As I wrote about Pete Buttigieg long ago, an imperfect trailblazer is still a trailblazer, but I think Frank was a typical white gay man of his generation who never stopped resenting his coming out

If I ever turn to soda to meet my protein goals, please slap my face as hard as you possibly can

Happy Tony Nominations day aka Qween Jean day!

The lack of color at the met gala feels like a real fascism indicator and no I will not be explaining

They're so NICE. They're not good, they're not bad, they're just NICE.

“But I think one of the issues here is that if you’re going to opine on matters of theology, you’ve got to be careful. You’ve got to make sure it’s anchored in the truth, and that’s one of the things that I try to do” -- JD Vance, 4/14/2026

As a trans engineer who left the space industry in order to feel safe enough to transition: oof.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

After work I'm going to go vote to extend the earnings tax in St. Louis so my city doesn't just completely fall apart. And it's really weird to prioritize voting on a 1% tax with the threat of total warfare looming but I guess that's being American in 2026

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

Read down the thread: TrackAIPAC tracks donations from many Jewish donors, some who oppose AIPAC, And attacks Jewish politicians who didn't even take money from AIPAC. It's anti-semitic bs and you should block them

I didn't believe this so I looked it up and holy shit, it's true. There is a literal pathway to life imprisonment if a trans person uses the bathroom 4 times in Idaho, if this bill fully passes.

I have always found Timothee Chalamet really irritating and thought he has the vibe of an arrogant fuck boy. On the other hand, I don't think what he said was really terrible, just generally thoughtless. It's been a conflicting week for me.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

Sinners deserves Best Cinematographer simply for the fact that it's a modern movie where you can tell what's going on during all the night scenes

I have wanted Michael B. Jordan to win an Oscar since Fruitvale Station and I am so fucking happy right now

Teyana Taylor cheering like crazy for Michael B Jordan right next to Leonardo DiCaprio is so great!!

good night, sewers. good night, streams. good night, operations and maintenance teams. good night, settling tanks. good night, stream banks. good night, engineers, scientists, crews, managers, inspectors, analysts too. a good night for us means serving with care. good night, sewers, everywhere.

tsa agent: [patting me down] are you sensitive in any areas? me: [whispering, hand on my heart] only here

That's comical.

I feel fucking sick

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

no war no borders no cops no prisons no to all of this shit

understandable tbh

NBC ran a piece where Mary Carrillo went to Norway to find out why they're so good at the Winter Olympics and i was yelling BECAUSE IT'S COLD THERE then she went to a little tiny ski jump for kids and was like "it's free, equipment is provided, & they don't emphasize results" and i was like. oh!

A government agency hiring a wife-beating, ear-biting Mike Tyson to insult fat people is certainly a choice. Guess OJ isn’t available.

All these kiddos in the halftime show are making my heart explode

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Westboro Baptist Church tried to make an Anti-Luigi Mangione poster but it just looks like Luigi is threatening billionaires and goes unironically hard af

Shout out to @chrisvfeil.bsky.social for today's cinematrix. I rarely complete the grid in 9 guesses, and today I was able to AND they were all 15% or below! More cinematrix grids for kids who exclusively watched black and white musicals!

I usually don't release discarded draft versions but this feels like it might be useful today

As a voter, you can make demands without gaming out the politics. Do people know this?

I can't explain it but that video from Marie Gluesenkamp Perez feels like a non apology video from a lesbian influencer who got caught using the r-word on video.

Tie between Rowling and Cosby. My niece and I really bonded over her liking hp and it was hard work to not fall back on that easy way to connect w/ her. And my dad was a huge Cosby fan. Great memories of watching the show and listening to his comedy albums in the living room.

I'm seeing a lot of "ICE is being beaten by the nicest people; now they want to try Philly?!" And I get the joke and I even like the joke! But let's remember than Minneapolis was prepared for this moment because in 2020 the activist networks were built up.

In St. Louis I'm partial to Left Bank Books (www.left-bank.com) but The Noir Bookshop (www.noirbookshop.com), Subterranean Books (store.subbooks.com), and Eye See Me (eyeseeme.com) are all excellent and are involved with the community

i hate living in the second act of CABARET. i miss living in the first act of CABARET

dying is braver than killing and I am kind of shocked any of you disagree

Any church that proclaims that one may be a righteous DHS agent in this climate, that what this admin is doing is aligned with God’s will, is a blasphemy and false gospel.

At this point, the Gospel of Grace for the DHS personnel is that they may yet repent, they may lay down arms and work for justice to undo the harm they have caused. It is not that they may be “ok” following their current path.

When an issue is this popular with the GOP base, Republicans prioritize messaging to either shift national opinion towards them and don’t let up until it breaks through. In contrast, Democratic leadership sees it as their goal to discipline their base and make them abandon their views

John Birch Society having a totally normal moment.
