The things that make me clocky are the same things that make me strong.

If DIRTY GIRL had came out earlier, it would have been a highlight of the studio indie movies of the 2000s. Optimistically, this means it could and should be getting discovered by more people now because what a movie it is. Trashy, funny, sincere, mean, and aggressively gay. I loved it so much!

"But 2 and 3 are so much fun!" I don't find it fun to take a "canonically" trans character who dictates the morality of the original film, as both the killer and final girl, and stripping her what autonomy she does have so she can become a puppet on the side of the status quo in Reagan's America.

Respectfully, I never needed any additional Sleepaway Camps.

Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today. Four giants control 80% of meat processing. A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry. The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere. It means more power for them and less freedom for you.

"Every word spoken is a bullet"

As someone who has never read a Stephen King book, I really like the ending of 2025 movie THE LONG WALK.

i’m trying so hard not to devalue other people’s organizing, or fall into the “bad protester” trap, but i do think asking people to put themselves on a registry is indicative of such a massive misunderstanding of our current political climate, it makes me doubt their potential for driving change.

"He's a leftist." "He's a groyper." "No, he's a centrist." "He's trans." "No one is trans." "No, the roommate's trans." The transphobia has been there this whole time. It doesn’t matter what the story is or what fascists believe. What matters is what we are going to do about it.

One of the best compliments I can pay Dirty Girl is that if you have fallen in love with Dinner In America over the last couple of years, this should scratch a similar itch.

"Taking a walk/touching grass/etc" is always good advice because what good did you get out of the last 36 hours of stress as the conservative narrative scrambles to connect the shooter to transness? You know it isn't true. Everyone does. Check back later. Stop doing this to yourself right now.

it really is astonishing how quickly it goes from “civil war” and “blood in the streets” to “wow guys it’s just a sad tragedy” when it becomes inconvenient

So I am having a pretty severe emotional response while watching Starship Troopers on a totally normal Thursday. How are you doing on this TOTALLY NORMAL day?

I saw a statue of Johnny Carson tonight.

People have been hoping and wishing Trump had a terminal disease for the last 3 weeks but want to take some moral high ground all of a sudden because it wasn't an oopsie of nature? I am convinced a lot of liberals would mourn Hitler if he died today.

Stop acting like there’s anything you can do to make sure Dad doesn’t get mad and hit you. Dad is going to hit you. You could clean your room top to bottom, get all A’s, cook him dinner and mow the lawn; if he wants to hit you, he’s going to fucking hit you.

The Right: "We need to round the Left and minorities into camps!" "Because Charlie Kirk was killed?" The Right: "Charlie Kirk was killed?? We need to round the Left and minorities into camps!"

When Minnesota Democratic State Representative Melissa Hortman was murdered in her home by a gun toting MAGA maniac less than 90 days ago they said nothing. Trump even skipped her funeral and chose to play golf instead. He had the chance to condemn political violent and did not.

I wish Democrats spoke out against kids getting shot with the same vigor they speak out about Nazis getting shot.

Damn, those leopards have been practicing their aim

As stated earlier by others, it does not matter what you post or do not post here. The right wing has their narrative they’re going to push, because they understand they are at war with democracy and that propaganda *works.*

As we enter fall, it's so important that we tell everyone to leave those leaves! Mads Torres designed a poster to help us. Lightning bugs are one of the most charismatic insects we've got. Actions we take to protect them protects many insects! Get some to hang in your neighborhood! Squidfacts.net

The image that inspired my most popular comic.

This is a silly thing to post on the internet itself but if you will allow me, just for a little bit, to be hyperbolic; being on the internet is just the worst goddamn thing trans people have ever done to themselves.

You guys have NO idea how many messages I have gotten from people who have gone "Oh this movie is BIG big." Yeah, Kpop Demon Hunters is THAT big!

WE DID IT! We raised over $16,000 today for sex worker mutual aid! Many many more thanks and thoughts to come - but for now I’m exhausted, I’m elated, and I’m so grateful for everybody who showed up for @corntelethon.bsky.social today whether virtually, in studio, or via donation. 😌🥰🫶😹

Happy Labor Day. Fuck AI.

I did my best to push back on my book being "trans memoir" as it's about many things, but most of all how my life was formed by labour. I got my first job @ 13. I was a journeyman Glazier @ 21. I wasn't a writer (or a trans) until my 30s. Celebrate Labour Day by reading about labour 🔗: is.gd/E42lih

I was always going to be an easy mark, but I just really loved Baby Assassins 3. I adore Mahiro and Chisato with my whole heart and the chemistry Saori Izawa and Akari Takaishi have on screen has only gotten more magnetic by this entry. Genuinely might be my favorite movie series right now.

in her flip flops!! i love women

Sorry, excuse me, I'm just gonna scootch in here — Everyone coming together hoping The Thing™ happens? Those are first roots of community. If we all take that principle and extend it into small collective actions, we could meaningfully hobble the growing base of people who want him in power.

So where the fuck are they going to go? People who support this never want to answer that question because they either don’t care or they know it would make them sound like dumb assholes.

I spoke to @wired.com for this piece. please read it :)

I'm sorry. Do you have a toilet in plus size?

Remember how if a kid choked on a little plastic toy they used to stop selling the toy

This is the episode that CLUELESS always deserved, but we could only deliver it after all this time. This is one of the definitive teen films and is evergreen, not just in style but the theme of masquerading as more adult than we ever are. Happy 5 years to our little show!

I am emotionally prepared to be devastated...

I am so proud of Corn Telethon. I love @siridahl.com so much and it means so much that we get to make such a beautiful event. It's a 12 hour variety show / fundraiser for great SWer mutual aid orgs and it takes place on September 4th from Noon Eastern until Midnight. A VERY truncated guest list:

Some say it couldn't be done, some swore it would never happen, but the day is finally here. I convinced @alexsteed.bsky.social to let me talk about Jackass for a very long time on @youaregood.bsky.social

Ryan Murphy is the only gay person I have ever wanted to lose their job.

Making them wear high-visibility vests over camo is such a good joke you couldn’t write it

This is a form of child abuse. "A.i." damages people's ability to think critically, robs people of the joy and human experience of creating art, and exposes them to propaganda controlled by fascist billionaires. Obscene. Do not let your kids participate in this. Yell at anyone who pushes it.
