Been watching the OG Star Trek for the first time and I'm surprised by two things: 1. Kirk is nothing like the lurid horn dog some media portray him as, instead being an honor-bound workaholic that's married to his job. 2. All the Kirk x Spock shipping Boomers did was 1000% justified oh mai gooood

Crite, who spent most of his life & career in Boston, was a devout Episcopalian whose art consistently celebrated his religious faith. I absolutely adore his so-called "transit madonnas," which find holiness in the everyday ("Our Lady of the Elevated Station"; "Madonna of Dudley Station")

Because it's a good day, a thread of images from fantastic show I saw last week: African-American artist Allan Rohan Crite at Boston's Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum. First up, Crite's luminous "Streetcar Madonna," which resonates with incoming NYC mayor's pledge to make transit more affordable

The trans grad student OU fired unjustly, Mel Curth, now has a GoFundMe for her legal fees: www.gofundme.com/f/help-mel-c... Sitting at 8% rn if anyone wants to help materially.

I like Pluribus a lot but I can understand why some people might not like it. It's because they're bad people with awful taste in television

A tow truck driver who towed an ICE SUV that was blocking a driveway while the agents kidnapped Angelanos back in September was just found NOT GUILTY on the only charge against him (theft of government property). THAT'S ANOTHER WIN FOR "FUCK YOU; MAKE ME"

Sara Ahmed's piece about trying to help women students who were abused by their leftist profs. at Goldsmiths being called "neoliberal" if they tried to report them lives rent free in my head. It's so gross. Abusers wreck "the cause". Not the people they abuse who speak up about the abuse.

Steve isn’t here anymore, but he always posted this picture on Hanukkah so I thought we could carry on his tradition and remember him.

The right’s preferred gender ideology—one of male supremacy, women’s exclusion from dignity, citizenship, and vast spheres of public life, and an enforced heterosexuality of eroticized domination—is much more prescriptive, aggressive, and ubiquitously pushed than anything coming from trans people.

Everyone imitates Tolkien all the time except when it comes to the one way it would really matter: making the protagonist of your novel for children a short, fat, 50-year-old man who doesn't want to do anything.

We're off to see the boss class 🎶

Yola goes absolutely bananas, every single time.

I read this year, completely at random. Bizarre and painful. I think it's an underrated gem and could be read as a feminist classic.

I loved this show as a kid. Was genuinely bummed when it was cancelled.

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Amazing project coming to the screen! 🍿 #AlaskaSky #Alaska

they’ve been saying it and saying it and saying it, like we all knew, but there’s something about seeing it in print on the official government site where people who don’t know any better will still go looking for information that just really sent a chill down my spine

What's from Chicago, hates Illinois Nazis, and is holy as fuck? It's the Pope in 1982.

This is a really remarkable piece of writing and in its particulars it describes so, so many people

I havent read such a banger of an essay in a very long time. This is so well-written!

The arc of history is a foot-long, but it bends towards justice.

ICE won't allow communion to be given in detention centers because demons quail and shiver at the divine presence in the Host.

one year and everyone is so sick of your boy that Virginia is starting to look like Massachusetts and a democratic socialist won a million votes in NYC, get fucked

the entire twitter and group chat poisoned elite of American society who decided Trump winning an election by 1.5% heralded a thousand year reich may have miscalculated a bit

LETS GOOO TRANSGENDER FOR EVERYONE

it's me, unnamed critter from bosch's triptych of the temptation of anthony!

There is a website for the dogs that were rescued from Kipnuk and Kwillingok to help their owners find and retrieve them. alaskatyphoondogs.org?fbclid=IwdGR...

Banger piece by Natalie Adler on the ultimately dehumanizing and mainstream-affirming BIG SWISS and MILK FED, among others. The latter in particular I found deeply compelling and hot, but ultimately empty and insincere. lux-magazine.com/article/unhi...

My daughter the One Piece fan drew this poster for her No Kings rally today

What an insult to all Alaska. This is outrageous.

my best guess as to what’s going on with gender and society is that all the discourse around abortion + trans rights bubbled up and caused heterosexuals to start thinking about gender en masse, along with all the other stuff, and the untenability of it all just isn’t something normies can handle

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

this is what's so funny about the American right, right. they bang on about tradition but they don't want real American history (mutts and losers) and they bang on about European heritage but don't want to be like Europe (socialist gays). what they want is to live in a Coke commercial from 1952

In the past two years, with surprisingly little notice, renewable energy has suddenly become the obvious, mainstream, cost-efficient choice around the world, @billmckibben.bsky.social writes.

People's impressions of Alaska as a "rural red state" are really misleading. We have the lowest religious & partisan affiliation of any state. We have one of the lowest %s of people born in-state. We're only 60% white--right behind Florida & New York! Alaska is a diverse, weird state.

give brad lander a gundam

crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of their consultants

If you ask someone today to name the builder of Hadrian's Wall, they would give you a funny look. But historical memory is odd, and right up to the 1800s we forgot who built it. Until in 1840 John Hodgson, an obscure Northumbrian clergyman, published the LONGEST footnote in history... 1/22

There was a rather charming trend in the 1910s to introduce the actor at the beginning of the film by showing them first in their street or evening clothes and then dissolving into the costume of their characters. Here we see recent stage import William S. Hart become a bandit in THE BARGAIN (1914).

I’m just saying if they come here to our country and live in New York City, the greatest city in the world, they should learn to speak the goddamn language, which of course is the Umani dialect of the Algonquian language family

it's fairly easy to remind someone making Stack's argument here that there are like 3-4x as many trans people in america today as there were jews in germany before WWII. getting tired from screaming that this is nazi stuff but this is so obviously nazi stuff!!!!

Last year, I donated a massive box of RPG books to a local prison. One of my best friends from high school is a prison librarian & he says RPGs are extremely sought after but very rarely donated, so if you have any unused RPG manuals you don't need consider donating them.
