The difference between fantasy and sci fi is that fantasy books have a serif font on the cover and sci fi books have a sans serif font on the cover. This is the only rule that must not be broken.

I would encourage trans folks especially, but LGBTQ+ folks more broadly, to understand: We are going to *lose* (maybe even a lot) as cases move up to SCOTUS. *and* Every delay & pause, even temporary, is a win. And we will ultimately win. Care for yourself. Care for community. Keep organizing.

now that there’s fewer flights, the airport should let me ride the little rollercoaster that suitcases get to go on

I am never not gonna be mad about the Minneapolis public not connecting Frey to complete control of MPD operations for the past 8 years. www.startribune.com/election-day...

it doesn’t get any clearer that america’s betrothal to fossil fuels is about letting energy companies pick our pockets to prop up their obsolete industry

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

"your passport says you're 5'7" but you were 1'8" when you were born so that's what we're listing" this is what that sounds like

This reminds me: A few CBP agents were recently overheard complaining about how much they *hate* the whistles. Apparently, in addition to the obvious, the racket makes it harder for them to communicate with each other.

She’s right. The government started putting gender on passports in 1972 out of concern that men and women were getting too hard to tell apart, what with all the hippies with long hair and feminists in pants and whatnot. Strike gender from IDs. Everywhere. It serves no purpose. @murray.senate.gov

Oops, forgot there was a picket today and am here in my pajamas 💙

Lotta drama at the hardware store today: a sparrow has gotten inside and the resident cats are going absolutely NUTS about it

In which Lewis Hamilton, eloquently and devastatingly, goes full Red Hand Files mode about Roscoe, loss and the way we share grief. Thanks to the fantastic Elizabeth Blackstock for manifesting and documenting this moment with one of our greatest champions!

If you’re ever desperate for a Times article, there’s a 90% chance your local library offers free digital access to the Times with a library card. it’s their job to do that for you. you do not have to pay for it yourself. Cancel your sub

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

oh my god they actually did it lmao

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different. shutting the fuck up is free.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

I love whatever is wrong with them 🙂‍↕️

Everyone, please say hello to my new best friend, The Dykecycle 😍

No but srsly Mpls. If staring down the barrel of another 4 years of Frey’s got you down, use that energy to put pressure on MPS. There is a still time for a BIG WIN in Minneapolis. Settling the contract w/ enforceable class sizes would be such a bright spot in this city and we can do it!!!

My RCV take: It’s not preventing Minneapolis progressives from achieving desired city-wide results. It is actually showing that progressives are close even when not winning. And it’s affirming something about the electorate that we don’t understand, can’t accept, or don’t know what to do about.

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

Mamdani has now gotten more votes than 1/4 of the members of the United States Senate did when they got elected. The political power being channeled here is immense.

Don't want to be overly optimistic, but this is probably the biggest positive sign for the future we've had in some time.

A big L for motherfuckers tonight.

Brad Lander is at the victory party and, folks, he has the custom one-of-one “GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE” shirt.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

honest to god for months I thought Jacob Frey was a guy on Game of Thrones or something for how much people hated him on Twitter.

GOP realized years ago they’d never successfully run a Republican for Mpls mayor so they just bought Frey.

y'all know what to do #RTFB

roses are red big laughs are hearty

Run the fucking ball

“The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.”

this genuinely feels like a moment history books will look back on where the Democratic Party was forced to either fix its hearts or die

May all terrible people be sad tonight.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

This is why Chuck has NO REASON to come back to the table. Let them twist. If you're coming back with wins this big during a shutdown, the people know where their bread is buttered. Don't throw them a lifeline. These aren't tiny margin wins. They're blowouts.

how mad is everyone that people dunked on these fuckers via a public service commission election

whatever you think of Spanberger, the fact that her opponent ran a campaign based almost entirely on transphobia and is on track to eat shit in the biggest blowout the state has seen since 2009 is unambiguously a huge win

Every single county in Virginia shifted Blue.

For the unaware - the presidential last year had 2.8 million ballots cast. ~84% of a presidential election turnout, in an odd-numbered year race for a mayoral, is absolutely and wildly unheard of in American politics.

Replace “draw” with “Ooohh, I’m not creative.” as well.

"oooo i'd draw that but i can't draw" brother get this through your head NOBODY can draw we are literally ALL BULLSHITTING

You have to survive. There are graves to piss on that haven't been dug yet.

if Frey loses I bet he’ll leave Minneapolis immediately, which is a great argument to vote him out honestly

After 3 weeks in the ozarks, I regret to report that my mental health is better when I’m too busy to look at social media :( I mean, I’m not gonna quit or anything, but yeah

I don't think I've come across a poem that taps into my ethos when it comes to navigating queer community within the context of a hostile world as much as "We Have Enough Dead Friends" by Lena Oleanderson. I strive to make my home a sanctuary where other faggots feel safe and cared for.

Good evening only to the woman in the bathroom of the Des Moines area Costco, whose phone ring tone for her husband calling was the imperial death march 🫡
