This is amazing news I’m so glad

I'm waiting on a tow truck to talk my beloved Prius, Stella Marie, to a farm upstate. 😭 What are you doing with your day?

While I was waiting to move my laundry along, I called two Senators and a Governor to give full-throated support for trans rights and health care protections. It's good to be home.

Tag yourself, I'm "Falconry Furniture Making"

A couple folks have called today and said they got through to people, which means we are not crashing the lines nearly enough. Call, y'all. Even if you're never called before. Especially if you have a democratic senator who you don't trust to hold the line.

CALIFORNIANS— call this number for Senator Padilla, I was actually able to give my comments to a human being. That number is 310-231-4494

Razzle – 1 Hour - Sharon Lennon A darkly comedic drama about a woman who wants out of the family business – Berney’s Best Amusements, “traveling the fair and festival circuit since 1981” – and into a “normal” life with her new girlfriend, when a shocking incident drags her back in. #TVsky #Scriptsky

It's... Monday? Yes? #jetlag

Regular reminder that behind damn near every large-scale "Automated" "AI" system is a team of underpaid and otherwise exploited humans. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

California! Set a reminder in your phone to call the gov’s office to tell Newsom to sign these five bills. The guy’s mercenary as hell so if he thinks the wind is shifting in favor of trans rights (it never shifted! Trans rights are human rights!) we could flip him. Info below. Call: 916.445.2841

Gonna start calling him Huxseth.

Indie director Barbara Marques has been kidnapped by ICE. She is legally married to a U.S. citizen & was at a green card mtg when she was abducted and prevented from seeing her lawyer. Her husband Tucker May does not know where she is. Please spread the word so he can find her /1

Well, this is a stupid time to be awake.

My good friend Barbara has been disappeared by ICE. Looking for any contacts or resources to help find her. @laist.com @latimes.com @lataco.bsky.social @aclusocal.bsky.social @nlg.la

Good morning!

😭😭😭

Many people and institutions that fight back are winning. This is a large part of the reason to scorn the people and institutions that have caved. When this is over their lives should be made miserable. More, I mean.

Well, first day back in LA has been absolute shit. But people have been so kind it made us cry. So that’s something.

I think what I missed most about America is the squirrels.

Waiting an hour for AAA to come jumpstart our car that's been sitting for 5 months. At some point, I'm sure it will be good to be home lol

It was Friday morning when we left Tokyo, and it's Friday morning as we land in LA. Time is so weird, y'all. And I forgot how *loud* we are in large groups.

*at every war memorial on this trip* The Songwriter: So... were we the good guys here? Me: Um... ish?

Right after we moved to LA, The Pillows played the El Rey. And we got tickets. That was one of the moments I became convinced Lis Amgeles was one of the greatest cities in the world.

Because the '90s are back in Japan as well, everywhere we go that's playing rock music has me going, "Wait, is that The Pillows?!"* *it has yet to actually be The Pillows. But hope springs eternal!

Well what do you fucking know. (Sorry, pastor)

I never knew this was a problem, but I'm so happy there's a solution!

I'm reading about murder while my husband is reading about Van Halen. And that's how you keep a marriage alive, friends! #ReadABook

“why is the birth rate falling” because you hate women you absolutely rabid squirrels. this is your own fault

Due dates will be adjusted if the the rapture does indeed happen tomorrow

If you protested Jimmy Kimmel being pulled off the air by canceling Disney+ or some similarly simple action that had clear, direct, effective results, it feels good that you helped get him back, right? The neat part of you can choose another simple action, and keep that awesome feeling going.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate. I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man. Never change your last name.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

I used to work for a Big Event that used retired CA LEOs to run security. Most had moved to ID/NV/OR post-retirement, and I would overhear their opinions on California and Californians over coffee before the morning briefings. They can go. In fact, we should show them the door.

Terrorism starts at home. Always.

A gender lens remains one of the best ways to understand far right authoritarian regimes. Male order is imposed through a family-like structure, with women subservient and children taught that fear is the price of belonging www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The acceptance of the need for girls to fight against “Nos” in society will likely have an impact on the development of feminism in Japan.

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

Taurus: It’s great that you have a 5 year plan, but maybe 4 of the 5 years shouldn’t be, ‘Scream repeatedly into the void.’

Post the wins, even when they’re just California wins. I’d like to see other states do this. It’s a crime that DC can’t.

In a nutshell

I’m sorry, I know your editor insisted, but if you wanted me to actually read your introduction, you should have called it “Chapter 1”.

One of the FOUNDATIONAL parts of fascism is to CONTROL PEOPLE'S BODIES. My God. Bodily autonomy is ANTI-FASCIST. Begging these white men to please SIT DOWN.

In my youth, I worked in a newsroom during this transition and, hoo boy, CAN CONFIRM. Those weirdos (who eventually were bought/pushed out) were some of the greatest humans I've ever known.

Forget the internet, the worst thing to happen to journalism was j-school, which led to the kind of bullshit careerism that led to this

Remember when Oscar attendees received a hologram of Chadwick Boseman after Anthony Hopkins won? This is a good idea on par with that.

Osaka is like a fever dream. I can't stay, but I'm happy I'm here.
