pretty much the best comic about the New Web I've ever seen

Trying out underdressing for an event for once.

Gay neighbors’ pride flag got torched. Many neighbors who never got around to flying queer flags are now going to do so. And I’m thinking about replacing our faded one with this. offcolordecals.com/product/prog...

BART will participate in the 2025 International ShakeOut Day earthquake drill on Thursday, October 16, to test our emergency response systems and to help raise public awareness of the importance of having a plan and being prepared.

My problem with helping people with OpSec is that I have very big “come at me, bro” energy.

We ran an experiment on wealth distribution for the anticapitalist festival I help produce: blog.bl00cyb.org/2025/10/expe...

We need lyrics to moya by GY!BE. That’s how we win.

Boy but my two main relationships sure are right for me these days.

Haven’t had social anxiety this overwhelming in awhile. Had to explain to a dear neighbor that i know it’s my body and brain lying to me, and that it also mostly has to do with realizing every person is full of stories and histories and I barely have a chance of understanding myself,

Proposal: let's change "put my money where my mouth is" to "put my effort to where my mouth is." Both anticapitalist and also innuendo.

To quote @saulwilliams.bsky.social, "we are the death doulas of empire."

There’s only one person who’s ever turned me down when I did my “we don’t have to do anything about it, but I thought you should know I have a crush on you” thing. We cuddled and he told me about where he was at. That was about 12 years ago. I just wished him happy birthday.

The world is terrible but I had a good day and I get to see @saulwilliams.bsky.social perform tonight with @dibujandro.bsky.social

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social Hey I would have donated the maximum amount to you, but you threw trans people under the bus so I’d rather align myself with my community than with you. We’ll win. You’ll just be an empty suit.

Just signed as witness for the marriage of the woman an ex left me for. I love being open enough to spot (and keep) the good ones.

This is huge: “A drug that provides near-perfect protection against H.I.V. with shots just twice a year will be made available at $40 per patient annually in low- and middle-income countries, offering new hope… making lenacapavir a realistic choice in countries with constrained resources.”

Gentle reminder that if you've got extra money around, you can invest in non-extractive investment like Seed Commons. See case studies about how they invest in local communities at a low but solid return: seedcommons.org/case-studies

Oh no, I’m already sore from my workout today, tomorrow is going to be miserable.

Anyone have a list going for those running in the midterms who will actually, actively resist Trump?

I love getting older, being more self-aware and nuanced about my awareness of others. And also, sometimes I miss how easy it was to just be considered (and to consider others) as completely amazing with no caveats. Fuck but nuance is exhausting.

I wish the US had been this stalwart about defending ourselves against tyranny. ground.news/article/braz... Maybe we’ll put in stronger protections for our next round of what America looks like.

Implementing decision records for the distributed art and music festival I help run. Decision making structures are fun!

Ah yes, the old “an I starting to experience arthritis or an I clenching my hands while I sleep due to stress?”

Today we are going to a farm where watermelons grow. We will get one to eat down by the bay. To all the parents out there, I share your joy and pain.

The world is terrible but I love the art i carry with me.

House Republicans Want To Doxx Wikipedia Editors Over Bogus ‘Bias’ Complaints Congress has absolutely zero constitutional authority to investigate a private website for its editorial decisions. Zero. None. This is First Amendment 101. Yet House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and…

Finally had a little breakdown on my husband today, as a treat. There’s something special about spiraling out with someone who really knows you and will both absolutely love you and absolutely not take your bullshit.

How I think about influencing without control : blog.bl00cyb.org/2025/08/infl...

"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."

this week's (free) post is about the adage "deescalate all conflict that isn't with the enemy" and what it means to be an enemy, and don't worry I manage to reference both Sun Tzu and Tolkien so I've still got it margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/we-know-wh...

if they take away adderall and SSRIs and you end up on the street because you can’t function at work it will be because you let them come for hrt first

NBD, just the culmination of the things I know about disaster response organizing, compiled into a printable zine or available online. I'm really proud of it, and of all the folks who worked on it with me. www.disasterzine.com/get-the-zine/ Print it out, keep it in a plastic bag on your bookshelf.

Are any of these businesses tracking how many of their users are disabling AI? I can’t imagine a clearer signal to consumers not wanting it.

Last night at dinner, we were talking about testosterone, and I got asked howi dealt with the new surges in anger. “I realized no one has ever actually died of spontaneous human combustion, and that I could just feel and integrate those feelings.”

Sure, my husband is holed up with a Covid rebound, but that means I took his mother out on a dinner date tonight instead and got all the hot goss about the family from the last 40 years so that’s pretty alright.

Socially distanced walking date with my honey today like it’s 2020.

Oh, I just spent my first “vacation” day talking about Covid protocols and trying to establish consensus in a deeply insular family group while talking my depressive husband off a ledge, how is YOUR getting “less crispy” going?

Locke just scared himself by turning an old finicky faucet on full blast in a house we’re visiting. Me: “are you hurt or scared?” Him: “I’m scared” (crying) “I’m sorry buddy. You turned it on hard and it’s an old house” “Why is it old?” “When do you think it was built?” (Sobbing) “the nineties”

Early morning airport.

Sometimes I watch my husband take off the kid gloves to interact with a problematic person and I 😳 😬 😍 .

Me, reflecting with a friend: "I feel like I'm twink-adjacent, but not really a twink. What flavor of gay am I, anyway?" Them: "Yes."

Kept getting emails from Coinbase, so finally figured out how to log back in after having been logged out since 2014 when we used to use BTC to order tacos. I had transferred everything to friends who still played with it, but had 0.18 left because it felt too meaningless to transfer at the time.
