The way our bodies need sleep is so fascinating to me. Like whole shit don’t be working right unless we take all this time to *not* do anything but rest. And it’s gotta be enough of the right kind of rest too. REM phases and shit. Bananas.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

“My feathers remember storms you never saw.” Holy fucking shit I’m crying poor baby 😭

Nine times out of ten, they own car lots and are in the city council. So they control who builds what, where, and when, and who gets those contracts.

Media Matters analyzed a year of NYT coverage of anti-trans bills and found that 66% of the time the paper didn't quote a trans person. Further, it found that the paper often quoted right wing sources without mentioning their histories of anti-trans rhetoric. So "right-wing rag" is pretty accurate.

Capitalism ruined commercial rock music, just like capitalism ruined commercial R&B, just like capitalism ruined commercial country music, just like capitalism ruined commercial gospel music, just like capitalism ruined…

Got through the four-hour Tyler Perry video

I was really cooking with this whole thread lmao. Yall had me so pissed off last year.

Practically every single person on this app with over 1k followers who decided “Bouie was driven off by white t̶r̶a̶n̶s̶ bullies who are over-exaggerating the Times’ transphobia” writes for some other publication and/or hosts a podcast with a freemium patreon model. Yall aren’t slick.

When we talk about Baby Boomers not getting off the stage: In 1997, the US president was born in 1946. In 2007, the US president was born in 1946. In 2017, the US president was born in 1946. And next year in 2027? The US president will have been born in 1946.

Why do you think they ask “should biological males play sports with girls?” The second you add any context or nuance to trans healthcare people go “wait, really?” But there’s a media narrative out there designed not to do that.

Lord I see what you’ve done for other people etc

Fun fact: 54% of US adults read below a 6th grade level. You have to actively remember literally over half the US adult population is *unable to perceive subtext* www.thenationalliteracyinstitute.com/2024-2025-li...

transphobes always try to paint their bigotry as reasonable which is precisely what @jillfilipovic.bsky.social is doing here this is like saying the science on climate change, or vaccinations and autism, are still emergent and inconclusive. it just simply isn't true she's either ignorant or lying

@jillfilipovic.bsky.social is literally just a transphobe the science isn't unclear there's decades and decades of peer-reviewed science backing these things up. trans women have been participating in sports for over 2 decades. it's not novel or new. she means that she was personally ignorant.

“Do other countries have an unwelcome demonym” yeah like everywhere that has been colonized ever for starters

there's a bit of a glass-houses thing for us english speakers to get upset about exonyms, no?

My prostate rn

I think the biggest suspension of disbelief with this show is that Dr. Dick Van Dyke and his MD friends have all this damn free time to be sleuthing around solving murders like this.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

People have said this before, but it's weird that if you are in the Bluesky age demographic of 38 to 42, young people right now are talking *exactly* like the incel loser 4chan dweebs you encountered 15 years ago. They're using words you deeply associated, long ago, with incel CSAM dweebs on chans

Are you surprised? I’m not surprised. He is not what he wants Maine’s Dems to believe he is. This is some dark stuff. #MePolitics www.yahoo.com/news/article...

The fact that a foreign country has military bases in other countries all across the world… lets think about how ASININE that is

Yep, Jeffries ran interference

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it we slammed into a horizon painted on a brick wall like fucking looney tunes

Unbelievable that we still talk about withholding HIV funding as a form of political maneuvering rather than an act of social murder, as if the 80’s + 90’s never happened and we didn’t lose an entire generation to this already.

Discord is so unintentionally hilarious #DragRace

I don't think Jamelle Bouie is evil, or even malicious, but I do think that like most other liberal journalists he is unequipped to face the present moment, arrogant, and not just uninterested in but dismissive of his own complicity with the structural oppression of others.

Every dead child is my child.

they had four years to bury this guy under the jail

You can't vibes your way out of this and end with "yeah idk but people saying I'm wrong are tedious doomsayers." You're paid a six-figure salary by the "I hate trans people" & "Maybe racism is good" outlet while journalists doing OG reporting have to beg for money from readers! Shut the fuck up!

The mere existence of independent outlets presented in the flowery language of “a large universe of other information” and “new venues for telling stories about the world and sharing their views” covers up the brutal clawing most journalists have to do to keep the lights on. I’m genuinely sickened.

I honestly wish there was a way to mute images that don't have alt text. How are you a journalist and not using alt text. It's absurd.

when did *science* ever believe in porn addiction? myself & others in the adult industry have been preaching for years that this is not a diagnosable condition...bc it's not real

Like I’ve always been into older people, older men in particular. But like, while me finding daddies hot as a teenager makes a lot of sense & is fairly innocent, I also have to interrogate the daddy who wants a “son” and what the psychosexual motivation for that is, when it becomes problematic, etc.

Not handing it to Piper whatsoever, for whom Leviticus is far from a liberative text, but it's wild to see an arch-conservative deal with what Mainline pastors do all the time: cite Scripture verbatim and be accused of being a bleeding-heart lib perverting the Gospel

Leviticus is woke is a bonkers take

Legit question: I see more than a few people in the replies/quotes saying words like “predator” and “sex offender.” Did I miss something with his allegations? I thought it was all physical abuse/assault.

i think it’s beautiful that in this country, once you are no longer culturally relevant, you can just pivot to grifting conservatives

In 2024, Hallmark aired 108 new movies across Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Mystery and Hallmark+ In 2026, that number is looking likely to drop to roughly 60 total (give or take half a dozen) new debuts That's a massive 44% drop in output in just 2 years and hundreds, if not thousands, of jobs lost

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.

Hey, I get the point about the crickets now (and it's horrifying) but HB2 in NC didn't fail, sadly. There was a fake "repeal" (with Dem support) that kept it mostly intact but shifted national attention away. The far-right used it as a test run for what we're facing now:

This is what I need cis folks to understand. It's been a decade. Imagine living TEN FUCKING YEARS watching as a blatant, artificial campaign to erase your personhood, your identity and your safety chugs along, increasing in power every single day, and most people don't care or dismiss it

This site b’god

Had a dream last night that I was at some fancy dinner party or some shit and there were hors d’oeuvres and the main one was escargot but the fucking snails were still alive/moving and it was expected that we all eat one anyway and so I did and tried to act like it didn’t bother me but it was 🤢

Alright, alright. I'm getting up.

I may be way more cynical than I realize I am. And I think, unfortunately, I have that in common with a very large amount of people. Assuming the worst of others in an era of constant grifters & trolls & telemarketing scams & AI deepfakes & DARVO & disinformation as political warfare is…easy to do

I have blocked so many people since Sunday night

okay what the fuck was the BBC doing with that broadcast? because at this point it could be mistaken for intentional… variety.com/2026/film/aw...

There was so much ass on the feed today I thought it was hump day (…not at all mad about the ass part, to be clear)
