it is tattoo time! but first, the studio's dog Benji gets to chill with me.

why do they keep blatantly copying all the pop culture parodies of the upper class?

I love how she lives in his head rent-free. I bet he was thinking about that remark all day, and now he's probably pissed off because she won't call attention to it. she knows he's not worth it. but I wish he faced disciplinary action over this basic lack of decorum. not in this administration!

this is pathetic to a degree i didn't realize was possible

this is super villain shit. utterly vile.

I've had enough of this armchair queerphobia from Rowling. lol Doesn't give a damn about trying to understand the difference between attraction and action with ace folks.

How about you Switch 2 studying the Holy Bible

2024: Vote Trump he will cut your taxes and lower prices and make us all rich 2025: When you really think about it is money even real?

“i voted for him because i didn’t think he would do what he said he’d do”

i was going to make a joke that losing the wisconsin supreme court race was part of elon musks plan but then i decided to check his posts and he already said that

What I've wanted for them for several years. Good on them for going independent—AND being able to keep the business. That second part is icing on the cake!

It's so confusing as an American to be actively rooting for stuff like this

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

elon musk was in this room wearing this t-shirt he found on amazon like 2 weeks ago lmfao

Few people in American politics have ever exhibited less moral clarity than Nikki Haley has since 2016.

if this is your reaction to a poor person being unable to afford the medicine they need to stay alive than you’re not actually part of the project of building a more just, equitable world. you’re just doing politics as sports and cheering when the other team gets an injury.

This is the confrontational energy we need from Democrats right now. Get in his face and tell him NO.

GOOD. Finally, a news organization that doesn't bend the knee and cave to a settlement. We need MORE of this from outlets in the coming months and years.

Another fiery exchange from Judge Reyes in the trans military case:

trumps authoritarian government is trying to rewrite history and exclude trans people from all mentions of it. they will find out that we cannot truly be erased. the pendulum will swing back woker than ever

Theologian David Congdon wishes we’d all stop asking who is “truly” a Christian.

This reads like the opening paragraph of a novel so bleakly dystopian you'd put it down after five pages

This is really funny because, last night, I had a sudden urge to replay Wolfenstein: The Old Blood. Then this article shows up today. On the same wavelength. 😎

It really seems true that the more someone rail against drag queens and trans people and whatnot, the likelihood rises that they're projecting. Happens often with church leaders as well. Every accusation is a confession.

Good words from @tylerhuckabee.bsky.social, who's ALSO Sojo's new online managing editor (!!!)

Assuming we make it through the next couple of decades, this will be an incredible image for future historians/students of the Trump era

this era of trump destroying every institution in the name of being anti-woke and ending DEI will usher in an even more woke era than ever thought possible

I've assembled a team of the most horrible perverts and criminals you've ever seen and we're going to fix this country

The ideology of the religious is self-interest with a veneer of piety.

first week on the new gig. proud to be doing this work. find me here from now on. trans people now and forever.

they were never going to stop at legislating bathrooms, they will not stop at legislating children, they most certainly will continue going for all of us. this is NOT a “distraction”

at the pacific daily news when it was owned by gannett, i was working on an investigation into labor fraud. the company threatened a lawsuit, i went back to my editors and they killed it. my story ended up being true id later learn that paper killed many stories out of fear but would later be true

Here's why blood donation — and fighting homophobic standards — is crucial to Mitchell Atencio's faith:

When Mike Johnson became Speaker I wrote this to show how he’s basically a walking, talking manifestation of the empirical definition of Christian nationalism. time.com/6329207/spea...

beast mode sorry

I have been on a fashion kick for the last month (particularly with layers—flannel and jackets) and it is gonna put one hell of a dent in my finances, but dammit, I've been wearing the same basic clothes for years and it's time to UPGRADE. Especially since I'm in the Midwest now!
