Pride goeth out with a bang at The Moderne in Orlando’s Mills 50 district this weekend. Their Pride Brunch, featuring live drag and limited-edition eats and drinks, will benefit Crew Health, an LGBTQIA+ healthcare non-profit.

They are seriously this mad about Brad Lander??????????????????

You guys I just completed the most important document (a presentation on Canva) of my entire life. Forget my dissertation, I have fulfilled my raison d’etre as an educator.

Indigenous nations and people are at the forefront of the resistance contemporary fascism, from one so called border to the other.Colonialism is an ongoing process, it goes hand in hand with fascism. Far too often this goes unreported and unreflected upon.

I can’t believe this really happened and these are sights and (especially) sounds that went into my brain unmediated

The person that posted the thing that this post is based on blocked me, I think (oops!) so if you have a screenshot please let me know. It’s amusing.

We have an opportunity in this moment. A responsibility. To insist on everyone’s humanity, all the way through.

i invite all women to join me in eating two hot dogs as part of an impromptu demonstration that will change history

Not to mention the sheer population of the city is bigger than multiple states combined, so even if it’s different than, say, Wyoming (and it really is), there’s a orders of magintude more New Yorkers than Wyomingians, and they don’t deserve to be treated as an “outlier”

Stanford University Graduate School of Education doctoral student Emma Keller is seeking participants for her dissertation study on Black multiracial students with siblings. Please support this important work!

I also note they’ve ditched the kilts & gotten some Teal Teams sportswear (Marlins, Dolphins).

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”

In the 4 years since Roe v Wade was overturned there have been over 400 pregnancy related prosecutions. Maternal mortality is up 33% nationwide and 50% in some states. We are being criminalized and murdered. That’s the legacy of Dobbs

Every day that I’m with elementary students, Messi vs. Ronaldo is argued, and most of them prefer Ronaldo (or the Messi kids, the ones wearing the jerseys, are just quiet). This is *wild*

Also I’m in Philly metro (?) now & all of these radio ads are like, “250 years ago our country started here, but ALMOST as importantly, ____ of years ago, Wawa/Herr’s chips began in this goofy semi-rural county!”

It’s because the Knicks won, isn’t it?

final verdict: minimal fences, no tarps, actually somewhat decent reflection, another DC myth busted lol

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face

Two years after Darializa Avila Chevalier took part in the Gaza solidarity encampment at Columbia University, she is now set to represent the district in which the university is located in Congress.

Very excited to see him in Congress.

What do we think, is Return of the King the weakest of the original LotR trilogy?

there's something remarkable how on a scientific level we're performing what would essentially be miracles and on a cultural/political level, we're going in reverse

Well the British Monarchy (Harry Styles & Daniel Radcliffe) have ruled in reverse.

It's hard not to think of Jim DeRogatis and his article on R Kelly and not know whether to laugh or cry

I am a person who does not believe that health insurance or furthermore the ability to survive should be tied to employment. But I believe that way more people could use the structure, socialization, and occasionally humbling experience of at least a part-time job.

For a lot of them... they don't know what good writing is. Some never knew, got lucky with a few of great scripts (which they didn't write) and are now wandering around shooting some random collection of scenes like it's CITIZEN KANE. The most dangerous thing is to be convinced of your own genius.

I’m at a university the next two weeks so every time I go to the bathroom I see posters about consent. I also just watched the “Dance Mode” episode of Bluey, which is one of the most far-reaching media pieces about enthusiastic consent ever made.

If I ever talk like that, do me a favor and hit me on the nose with a rolled up newspaper or something!

Folks in Berlin, consider coming to Studio 1111 tomorrow night for a concert of my music (and some friends’) on Potsdamer Str., it’s going to be a really special show for me.

Neko Case, Middle Cyclone

You have to biff it so hard as a music critic to get me to join your war on Halsey on the side of Halsey.

The Dean’s website still looks like it was made in 1996 and he’s a substantially more relevant voice than Fantano. Ann Powers is still writing and shaping the conversation. Jess Hopper is still writing, producing and fostering new talent. Hanif Abdurraqib is a MacArthur fellow. Cmon man.

I did my best

This! Teaching and researching are entwined and equally essential. The best college teachers research and the best researchers teach. Overworked and underresourced public schools matter and their students deserve the best education.

Dude, pissed to hear a Janelle Monáe song in an effing Prime Day commercial. Really disappointing.

Adding on here, I am still somewhat annoying childishly millennial (bad at budgeting, getting to bed at a reasonable hour, lots of other basic responsibility stuff) BUT Changing of the sheets day makes absolutely giddy. If I get to baking soda/vacuum combo the mattress before, all the better!!

Pssssshhhhhhhhhhhhffffttt I do NOT overschedule myself as a coping mechanism, what are YOU talking about???

As a person who has devoted basically their entire adult life to helping others make art…yeah generative AI is definitely not the answer.

there's what looks like a cool event performing Terry Riley's "In C" for his birthday but there are 13 musicians and not one is a woman and you know what, do better. don't tell me there aren't qualified women musicians in the metro detroit area

As an elementary music teacher currently doing another Orff level, I feel for this guy. (In my classroom, I would suggest he make “monster munchers” instead.)

Over the past 13 years police in the United States have killed approximately 16,000 people. Over the same period in the UK, the figure is 34

Sure sounds like something I'd do. But why not a new thread even if I did. Post your examples!

Aaah the live broadcast from Cape Verde being interrupted by the goal

My dad had a lot of problems (he has been gone since 2002) but the man spoke Elvish.

I’m moving tomorrow (from Florida to a state safer for trans women), and though I raised enough to afford the love itself, I still need funds to replace my car, or else I won’t be able to get to and from a job.

I hope you enjoy my brand of reposts about grave injustices happening all around the country, pop music commentary, and utter shitposting; brace yourself for more. (I’m out of town, away from my family for two weeks, and trying to stay off of IG & FB, weaning myself off.)

They’ve already shed the kilts in Miami 😂 bsky.app/profile/scot...
