A reminder that Kelsey, my hair stylist, is very, very good at her job.

That explains it, but not in the way RFK thinks

This is SO good! Well worth your time to read the whole thing.

Listening to Herbie Nichols SUNG: Life Is Funny That Way by the inimitable Fay Victor. The same great band and material as last month's wonderful concert. One of the best things I've heard this year. And these lyrics, oh my goodness! I think every late-blooming queer person in the world relates.

Time for a new red and blue profile pic!

literally no need for this the protesters were just standing there, not causing any problems. then here come the police, causing problems. I need @govpritzker.illinois.gov to tell these goons to go home. And if he can't or won't do so, I need to know that, too.

Mamdani sounds cool and promising, but not as cool and promising as the imaginary Mamdani in these people's heads.

I was in my late teens in late-70s Britain. I wasn't full-on punk - but I wasn't not punk, either. But coming out and transitioning in my 50s is BY FAR the most punk rock thing I've ever done.

Bring back this Dada specifically. Claude McKay & Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven giving LOTE realness.

Last commute before our trip. Yes, it's come to this - we're going to terf Island for a relaxing break. Soundtrack: Marianne Faithfull - And Sparrows Will Sing. Needed something uplifting. "The assassins and priests like mythical beasts will surely fade away"

Good news from terf island, for a change!

JD Vance when people makes jokes about Charlie Kirk: "call their employer." JD Vance when Republican staffers say "I love Hitler" and fantasize about throwing political opponents in gas chambers: "that's what kids do...we're not canceling kids because they did something stupid."

I'm shocked it's as low as 70%, to be honest.

First commute for a while where it's a little chilly and not fully light. Cool this morning, but at least no ICE. Soundtrack: Ripeness - Echo & the Bunnymen

This afternoon, @scarlettaddams.bsky.social discovered a guide to Yorkshire dialect. May all the ancient gods of the North preserve me.

I was never a man, so it might be moot. But my constructed-via-medical-technology vagina is pretty damn functional. I'm sure Sex Matters will be relieved to hear that.

Fuck Meta and Fuck the criminal department of injustice and fuck the ICE brownshirts.

GREAT piece on the tensions between visibility and safety under fascism. I've been thinking a lot about this too - I'm sure a lot of us have. But going back isn't an option. And I wouldn't want it to be. 🏳️‍⚧️

*struggling to remember Charlie Kirk's name* I think it was...

watching the UKs green party elect an actual unafraid leftist into leadership and see party membership double in under a month is once again endless proof that if you stand up for leftist causes and treat the electorate like adults, you’ll win people over easily

"Still fukkin ded lol"

I'm not going to lie I'm so scared of what the EHRC has sent in it will hurt so many including non trans It will make the good I do for ALL the local community almost impossible to do

If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.
