I don't have a clown phobia, but I think I'm starting to understand people who do find them scary because Labubus scare the shit out of me

UGH I feel like I am fucking all of this up and I haven't even STARTED my applications for PhD programs yet. EVERYTHING I have tried so far to prepare for it, I've fucked up

🔃🚨 BREAKING: House Democrats now have the votes to force a vote to release the Epstein files.

3. The poll also broke down support by subgroup. Black Americans were more likely to oppose bans on trans youth care, with 55 percent opposed and 45 percent in favor. Women opposed bans at higher rates than men, 56 percent to 48 percent.

1. A new The 19th/SurveyMonkey Poll finds that a majority of Americans are against trans youth care bans. This includes a majority of Independent voters, casting doubt on the narrative that Democrats need to pull back on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Halsin adopts Arabella 🌱

A comic about CNC kink I've been thinking about for a few years, and I finally decided to sit down and make it.

So I started writing a Halstarion fic hoping to get it posted this month but now I'm looking at what I have written so far and it's kinda garbo so tbqh it will probably take longer than that to get ch 1 posted. Sorry!!

My hottest hot take is that Wulbren is actually a far deeper character than the "fuck Wulbren Bongle" memes make him out to be. You'd think all the guy does is kick puppies for fun or something, but he's actually one of the most interesting NPCs in the game.

They couldnt get their "radical left wing violence" talking points off the ground for Charlie Kirk so they're trying again with an even lazier narrative here aimed at someone who shot three detainees but zero ICE officers

Abolish ICE

A list of Halsin bugs I know other characters have bugs too but... Halsin has so little content already and these bugs are kinda huge and some have been happening for several patches Drop more if you know more

COME FROM AWAY Is the Most-Produced Show of 2025/26

The fact that @davejones.actor loves KPop Demon Hunters gives me so much joy :D <3

Updated Too Many Burdens to Bear! archiveofourown.org/works/531973...

Prison must be abolished, example #1234356346

I THINK this chapter of Burdens is just about done. I just need to edit some things to make sure it won't be as much of a trainwreck as I'm worried it will be

1. Trump has dug in on anti-trans provisions in the shutdown fight this morning, cancelling a meeting with Dems unless they cave on trans people. His post to Truth Social is a clear indication that Republicans are making targeting trans people a priority. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I get the rapture jokes and I’m enjoying them as much as the next guy and also I hope everyone is keeping in the back of their minds the fact that these folks are literally praying that all the Jews in the entire world drop dead tonight so they can climb over our dead bodies to reach heaven

When the "OMG, your poor husband" line new mothers get when they are unable to have sex due to birth complications becomes institutionalized in gynecological research:

Conservatives object to the framework that points out rape is about dominance and not sexual desire because, if they were forced to admit it was an act of sadism, they would no longer be able to blame a victim's clothing for the need of rapists to subjugate and humiliate their victims.

So Elon has known is father was sexually abusing children for decades and has done virtually nothing about it. Sounds about right. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/23/w...

They’re in overdrive falsely using Kirk’s murder to shut down criticism, e.g.: “Newsom advocated violence” against Noem. “It’s dangerous” for Harris to call Trump a tyrant. All as Trump demands DOJ lock up opponents & issues his Antifa EO & Miller parrots Goebbels. It’s a precursor to crackdown.

It's so important to acknowledge your wins, even if they feel small. You need them to fill up your cup so you can keep fighting. Take a moment to breathe and be proud of what we did! We all managed to show the corporations out there that we won't stand for this shit.

The reality is, this SCOTUS is going to let Trump do whatever he wants. The Republican capture of this institution is full and complete. And any Dem that tells you this can be fixed in any way other than packing the court and term limits is playing in your face.

Rep. @jasmineforus.bsky.social Crockett points out only 2 of the 58 Dems who voted “NO” on the Charlie Kirk resolution were white: @sethmoulton.bsky.social (Massachusetts) & @quigley.house.gov (Illinois)

Folks there is this thing called Kpop Demon Hunters and it’s not on Disney and it’s all your kids will care about until at least Halloween anyway when 73% of costumes will definitely reference that movie so it’s ok to cancel Disney to send a message that fascism has consequences for enablers.

Seahawks absolutely annihilating the Saints, Mariners sending the bum ass Astros back to their nightmare highway system, it's a good day for Seattle sports! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Disney fans: hell yeah I can drop hundreds of movies and shows that were parts of my formative years, this is important Harry Potter stans: b-but you don't undewstand... I'm a Swythercwaw... how am I supposed to wive wifout my Hawwy Pottew 😔

So the next chapter of Burdens is going to include some things I had meant to have develop more slowly over a few chapters but consolidated here. It's mostly just that I can see I'm losing readers over on AO3 and I want to get this moving a little more so I can finish this before all my readers are

"You searched for 'dogs'. Dogs are canid mammals commonly kept as pets. Did this help?"

reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue deadline.com/2024/07/jimm...

1. Moms For Liberty has stormed school boards to pass hateful anti-LGBTQ+ policies the last few years. In Davis, though, one chapter president, Beth Bourne, did something completely unexpected this week. She took off her clothing in front of the school board. Subscribe to support our journalism.

I could consume nothing but psilocybin tea for a week and still not trip balls as hard as Human Pet Guy does on any given day.

Like do you realize how bad you gotta fuck up for your entire schtick to be petplay and yet find yourself loathed by, of all people, the trans community

There is a tiny part of me that does feel a tad smug when I see a dogshit "they just want to censor gross KINK stuff, this won't hurt actual queer people, STFU fandom freaks" take from a queer person who also hates my favorite character and stans my least favorite one. Like. Yeah that tracks lol

Might I suggest that yes, Trump has enough dementia that he really _might_ have gotten confused and used his Truth social account to DM Pam Bondi.

One thing I have noticed is that people cannot fucking Read a Text, which is to say consume a piece of information and then meaningfully integrate what it says into their decision-making from that point onward. Unrelated to whether or not they remember or agree with it, new info gets no traction.

BRING BACK FORUMS AND OTHER SPECIFIC SITES

One of the worst parts of Harris throwing us under the bus is the number of liberals who will reflexively defend her and in so doing decide she's correct.

Most establishment Dems forgot Dr. Tiller’s sacrifice. We can’t let them.

New: The federal probe of Charlie Kirk’s killing has yet to find a link between Tyler Robinson & LW groups, per 3 sources familiar “Every indication so far is that this was one guy who did one really bad thing because he found Kirk’s ideology personally offensive” www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

New from me: There's a lot of misinformation around the reasons I was fired from WaPo. Here's the official termination letter I got sent by Washington Post. Read and judge for yourself. open.substack.com/pub/karenatt...

Ditto claiming transness is a class perk of the bourgeoisie

If you want to do a depressing experiment sometime, listen to the responses you get on any platform when you say, "children own their bodies, not their parents"

When you baselessly call LGBTQ people terrorists who murdered Charlie kirk, this is the result. people.com/charlie-kirk...

The reason trans people are so maligned is that they are load-bearing for multiple expressions of autonomy that fascism simply can't abide. Right to bodily autonomy and elective medical procedures (including children). Freedom of gender expression and rejection of traditional norms.
