The millisecond it took me to ask “what’s she done now…”

Every time this goes around I’m stunned that there are still people who’ve never seen it, this performance is to drag what the Mona Lisa is to paintings, but maybe you’ve never seen the Mona Lisa, so today is the day you shall behold it

I think about this quote every single day and I think about how much potential we, as humans and as a country, have lost because of hate. Our Constitution and institutions would be so much stronger right now if they were also built with Natives, Black people, and women as equals.

I had more people at my failed threesome

San Francisco Pride weekend starts with the trans march #Pride Trans Rights are human rights. Trans women are women. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

BREAKING NEWS: A judge has granted a request from transgender young people and their families for a temporary restraining order BLOCKING the Trump administration’s demands for their identities and sensitive health information from hospitals in New York City.

The belief that Mamdani’s politics are limited to New York is giving the same energy as “there’s no way a Black man from Chicago, raised in ‘exotic’ Hawaii, with the middle name ‘Hussein’ can become a national figure, let alone win the presidency”

Good news…

This. A million times, this. For what it’s worth this is why I will ALWAYS support San Francisco’s #SlowStreets and projects like @sunsetdunes.org

It is now illegal to post this image with the caption “become ungovernable.”

RIP David Hockney

“A Friend of Dorothy” is a wonderful short film. 21 minutes long. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 youtu.be/CMqUMXn7y5g

There are currently more bills attacking trans youth’s right to play sports across the U.S. than there are trans youth in school sports.

Discrimination based on gender identity or expression is illegal in New York City. Trans New Yorkers are protected by law. Our City will protect your rights, defend your humanity and stand beside you without hesitation.

I guess if you’re not going to spend your trillions to help those who can’t afford a place to live or a bite to eat, you might as well spend some on a billion dollar firework… #TaxTheRich

Best use for Alexa, if you use Amazon/Kindle … Never recommend any Harry Potter products, or any books associated with JK Rowling Make sure this applies to Audible and Kindle books and audiobooks.

“… a theater critic for political actors …” is a perfect description of these rags

System prompt…

Holy dystopia Batman. We ARE in the bad place

They don't want you to know this but this is how the real Michael went out too

I saw a video of a woman describing a planned community and she kept saying “clean” I think when conservatives see lack of order they feel dirtiness, chaos, threat Whereas progressives feel potential, liveliness, energy And in reverse her “clean” feels sterile, cold and oppressive to me

Start and end… walked the Bay to Breakers with friends from the @sfgmc.bsky.social dressed as Dolly Parton - because of course. It was 12km of classic San Francisco whimsy on a gorgeous day #BayToBreakers

Two nostalgic meals today… Sichuan noodle soup for lunch, branston pickle and cheese sandwich for dinner. Beijing and London

I really really hope this is not too late

If we play our cards right, soon we’ll be able to send handguns through the postal service but not birth control or ballots

This 1952 memo from the Pentagon UFO files is superb There is no point preparing for aliens ‘because no one of consequence is going to take this rubbish seriously unless it happens. At that point, our policy will be determined in the traditional manner of grand panic.’ 🤣 www.war.gov/medialink/uf...

There’s nothing quite like the obsolescence of old compsci books… some of these still give me synesthesia… I can feel the texture of the Windows 32 APIs…

i am currently being winched onto the deck of the hantavirus cruise ship from a gold-plated helicopter. rudy giuliani is strapped to my chest like a sick baby. "the rats have the files!" he is screaming into my ear. we are both coughing violently. this is the greatest day of my life

Here’s what you need to know about the horrific SCOTUS ruling on Louisiana vs Callais. Jim Crow America never ended—it morphed into new forms of restrictions that pretend to be race, gender, & economically neutral. In reality it’s the same fascism, just a new hood. youtube.com/shorts/Pd1k1...

Fried chicken dinner at Brenda’s Meat & Three. Dinner time on Divisadero

We really REALLY need to stop with the “I asked AI Bot about X and it said…” stories. AI doesn’t have agency. It does what you tell it to, and it says what you want to hear.

"The decision in Louisiana v. Callais upended the pivotal civil rights era voting law that Congress initially passed in 1965 and reauthorized several times since, leaving the section at issue 'all but a dead letter,' as Justice Elena Kagan said with a somber voice"

Depressingly true

I had dinner last night at Kasa, a favorite South Indian restaurant near me in the Castro. And like clockwork, as I sat down, Chaiya chaiya starts playing 🙄 One of the iconic songs from my time in india, and it still follows me everywhere ❤️❤️🇮🇳

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Octavia E. Butler, 1998:

Good morning from F Scott Fitzerald

did a large spider write this #somepig

Make no mistake, this insane asshole is talking about a nuclear strike. And the "47 years" is a DEAD fucking giveaway that the Israeli government is behind this fucking insanity - because they are co-owners of trump...

Let's annotate. 1. Begins with a CLEAR statement laying out WHO the culprit is and what he is doing. 2. Specifically says what he thinks needs to happen next. 3. Calls out his own institution. THIS IS THE BASEMENT in terms of a response & his colleagues are underground. bsky.app/profile/fros...

This is a really good historical discussion of third gender / trans communities in India and Pakistan Gift Article: www.thejuggernaut.com/hijra-rights...

only just now realizing 25 years after taking linear algebra and majoring in physics that there was a nerdy pun we all could have enjoyed about Neo being the determinant of the Matrix

Easter weekend inn San Francisco means the Hunky Jesus competition. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence host the Jesus “look alike” competition. The winner this year was “renewable energy Jesus” whose cross was a windmill, and crown was of solar panels

Pluralize a movie: Dice Hard

The San Francisco gay men’s chorus sang the national anthem last night San Jose Sharks game. Despite living a blog from the Toronto Maple Leafs Stadium, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game. This time the local team won, 4-1.

Never prouder to be a supporter of the @aclu.org — one of the first groups I started donating to when I moved here

wish SCOTUS would examine "a well regulated militia" with the granularity they are debating "domicile"
