Bad Bunny said his selection as the Super Bowl’s halftime performer is an achievement for all Latinos, “proving that no one can remove or erase our mark and contributions to this country.”

New entry on my Tumblr blog is up! The fifth episode of Waltz of Sepulchral Silence is still under development and it'll be out as soon as we get an irritable werewolf to try on new clothes. My childhood self wouldn't blame him. Photo by Johannes Plenio on Unsplash. www.tumblr.com/heliotrope-j...

Being a fashion designer for feral werewolves is a frustrating job. You’re never sure if you’d want to design them new garments or give up and let him keep the pair they tore up after looking at the full moon. 🐺🌕

For my male subscribers, if you’re feeling lonely and struggling to form sincere relationships, this video by Rachel Oates might be the wake up call you need. Remember that being compassionate, feeling sadness, and showing respect does not make you a weak individual. m.youtube.com/watch?v=I4du...

From denying Somalia had a president to making up a story, President Trump is a lying buffoon. No one should take this embarrassing fool seriously

Breaking news: Jimmy Kimmel will return to television Tuesday, nearly one week after ABC took his show off the air under pressure from the Trump administration, station owners and critics over comments he made after the killing of Charlie Kirk.

News Analysis: For President Trump, a wide-ranging crackdown on mainstream media institutions and political opponents is not about hate speech, but about speech that he hates — namely, speech that is critical of him and his administration. nyti.ms/3VsCyO4

PSA: Rude behavior is blocked on sight. This includes, but is not limited to, jumping into a repost chain promoting someone's personal efforts to ask Sonic questions. I am not engaging with those questions anymore. Stealing someone else's thunder to demand that I do will never be received well.

Isn't it bizarre that a side of the political spectrum claiming that our First Amendment rights are being infringed on is now the one doing it? Am I missing something?

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption. Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow. People have power. Ask Target

A federal judge on Friday threw out President Trump’s defamation suit against The New York Times four days after it was filed, calling the complaint “improper and impermissible” in its present form. nyti.ms/4gyVUe3

You know we’re cooked as a nation if even our neighbors don’t want to trade with us.

Thank you to my colleagues for having my back and not furthering lies on the House floor. Appreciate them safeguarding first amendment protections and the usage of the censure. Finally some sanity in the House.

To take it even further, if sex education is considered “porn”, virtually anyone that isn’t heterosexual and cisgender can no longer depend on the authorities to protect them. This is Trump’s America!

New York State terrorism charges against Luigi Mangione, the defendant in the fatal shooting of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO last year, were dismissed on Tuesday, including a first-degree murder count that could have landed him in prison for the rest of his life. nyti.ms/4ps3c7k

it's actually really fucked that basically everyone in the US is suddenly being forced to mourn a nazi or lose their job or livelihood, i've never seen anything even close to this for any other shooting or death in the US during my lifetime

The Trump administration has ordered the removal of signs and exhibits related to slavery at multiple national parks, including a historic photograph of a formerly enslaved man showing scars on his back.

Cox is a fucking liar. He was an rightwing extremist, a Nazi-terrorist. And Cox knows, but lying is standard for rightwing politicians.

A friend of mine was on Charlie Kirk's "watch list" of Black professors. She received so many death and rape threats that her university offered her a security detail for the walk to class. This is Kirk's legacy. You would never know it from reading all of these legacy newspaper op-eds about him.

President Trump is escalating attacks on his opponents in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s killing, placing the blame for political violence on Democrats alone. He blamed the “radical left” almost immediately after Kirk was shot, before the authorities had identified a suspect.

I’m scared of potentially losing some friends over posting this, but ultimately, I’d rather that happen than be silent about my concerns about the repercussions Charlie Kirk’s death would wrought on a group of people the right-wing is trying to erase.

In Opinion | “When Trump survived the shooting in Butler last year, he became living proof that MAGA still stands. Kirk’s death, by contrast, makes it harder to look ahead and glimpse what MAGA will stand for,” Carlos Lozada writes.

My review of the first season of Castlevania's Netflix adaptation is up! There, I discuss how its portrayal of the religious zealously that fueled the European witch trials parallels the modern-day persecution of marginalized groups across the world, particularly in the U.S.! youtu.be/UqWVBR2G9dw

Please, please be careful. 😢

New entry on my Tumblr blog is up! We're going to check in on Frederick and Elijah in Waltz of Sepulchral Silence as they stay up hiking in the corn fields seeking evidence of wolves sneaking about. They might be hiding so beware! Photo by Luke Hodde on Unsplash. www.tumblr.com/heliotrope-j...

Cook has filed a lawsuit against Trump for trying to oust her (Powell/Fed are defendants for their ability to carry it out). The basis for cause has not been proven, nor was Cook given due process, it says www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/b... @nytimes.com @bencasselman.bsky.social @tonyromm.bsky.social

It’s been a long time coming, but congratulations to the happy couple. You both earned it. 🥰 #taylorswift #traviskelce #congratulations #maleswiftie

@eepicheep.bsky.social I’m crossing my heart that Connecticut will follow Illinois’s footsteps in doing that next.

It is inexcusable to overturn the DFL endorsement from Omar Fateh. A small group, a majority living outside Minneapolis, met privately to overturn the will of Minneapolis delegates who volunteered, organized, and participated in a months-long DFL process. Unacceptable www.axios.com/local/twin-c...

She did vote for an administration that blatantly despises the trans community so I have no idea why she’s clutching her pearls about this now. What a way to find out what they’re capable of the hard way. 🤷🏻

Spent Tobey Day wondering where the frogs went off to before trying to avoid pirates and getting a concussion by a volleyball. That answers that question. 🐸🏴‍☠️

Treating liberal lawmakers as criminals because their conservative colleagues aren’t getting what they want sure is going to go very well. 😒

Wishing everyone who thinks the only rock Taylor has is in her head a wonderful day and a blessed life. Seems like they need it. 😊

The road to authoritarianism is littered with people telling you you’re overreacting.

Episode 4 of Heliotrope Journey: Son of a Hustler’s Book 1 is out now. Time for Michaela to search a forest cave and save a couple of wizarding kids that may have fallen prey to a cyclops. Check out the link for more details. Photo by Francesco Ungaro on Unsplash. www.tumblr.com/heliotrope-j...

Yeah, that’ll happen. ಠ_ಠ

In Gaza, Palestinians who fear being killed or seriously injured during rushes to obtain aid are being forced to pay exorbitant fees to take out money to buy food. “We’re put through unending torment to get the simplest of things.”

A federal judge issued a fresh nationwide block on President Donald Trump’s efforts to end birthright citizenship, reiterating that the executive order is likely to be found unconstitutional.

I’m sharing my video calling out The Connecticut Centinal’s transphobic article again because Christine Rebstock was a guest on a podcast that slandered a transgender pastor because he was discussing gender-affirming care options with kids considering it behind their parents’ backs.

The Jersey Shore was fun and my stay ended with the sky clearing up to a sunset. Now back to building things digitally. ^_^

This is just a ploy to strip Black and Hispanic voters of what little voting power they still have in the South. Let’s stop calling them “Conservatives” — they’re White Supremacists. This war has been raging since the Civil War, and anyone who doesn’t see that doesn’t understand American history.

Kevin McLeod, who for 20 years has been the "royalty-free music guy" online, has just launched a new website where other composers will also be offering royalty-free music for anyone to use in their projects: freepd.com

New entry on my Tumblr blog is up! There may not be much to announce other than letting you that Episode 4 is almost finished, however, we got a hair-raising explanation for why we’re running behind schedule. Enjoy. :) www.tumblr.com/heliotrope-j...

Breaking news: The FCC formally approved the $8 billion merger of CBS parent company Paramount and Skydance Media, ending a more than 250-day-long review process marked by controversy and accusations of inappropriate political pressure.

Every bubble’s got to burst, even for our “esteemed” Commander in Chief. 🙄
