Just because the mind is blank doesn't mean the words are empty.

I feel like #AllGood has a nice ring.

Also fuck anyone who ever said all lives matter and can't say Renee Good's life mattered.

I will not pay for this book, but I will read it. Theocrats don't usually throw the word "pagan" around. In the description they are talking about actual "centuries-old ancient pagan ideologies". This martyr cult of Charlie Kirk is poised for a full on Satanic Panic. #paganism #satanism #wicca

Jimmy Kimmel has been fired for the joke Trump is mourning Charlie Kirk the way a four year old mourns a gold fish. But I don't think he went far enough. I think Trump is mourning Charlie Kirk the way a gold fish mourns a four year old. The difference is I'm not joking.

The perpetual civic genuflecting to the memory of Charlie Kirk is exactly the same as people not knowing when to stop applauding when Stalin gave speeches.

The authoritarians are pissing their britches about people calling their Gator Gulag "Alligator Auschwitz". But they're also pitching the idea that detainees could work to earn for their citizenship. Or in the original German, "Arbeit macht frei".

Looking for a few good proofreaders. Just finished the second draft of my Jose Sarria, aka Empress Norton bio: She No Dead. It's still rough in a few spots, but I could use feedback and suggestions. Comments on the doc are open.

I will not be using the term "Alligator Alcatraz" when "Crocodile Concentration Camp" is available.

We used to joke that when the conservatives came to power it would be a new dark age. Turns out it's an ICE age. #AbolishICE

The Black Cat Cafe was a Bohemian Lounge that opened in San Francisco in 1906. After WWII it was declared "OFF LIMITS" to seamen and soldiers on shore leave, because it had a reputation for "lewd behavior". So... guess where the seamen and soldiers hung out on shore leave?

First draft complete! Our Jose Sarria biography is currently 82 pages of cobbled together facts in chronological order with a little flourish, and a desperate need for a complete makeover, but it has good bones.

Among David's many victories in life was being a party to the class action lawsuit that originally won the non-binary designation on California IDs. But now, under the current executive order, Californians have been stripped of that right. #Intersex #NonBinary #Trans

First Quarter sales of "Memoir of a Reluctant Giant" by David Strachan were great. We raised $584 for interACT Advocates (@interact.bsky.social), and a percentage of the proceeds of the book will go to them in perpetuity. We encourage you to check out their important work: interactadvocates.org

Why are conservatives so grotesque? I tuned into KSFO (because I'm a masochist). In a segment talking shit about the recently deceased pope they started bitching about the progress flag. They claimed unironically that the light blue the pink stripes officially represent "minor attracted people".

Dan Bongino as the new deputy director of the FBI is bad news. I listen to his radio show. He's both unintelligent, biased and vengeful. He's a former law enforcement officer and acts like that means he's an expert on the inner working of the whole government. Textbook Dunning Kruger.

When we were branded with Emperor Norton we adopted the slogan "just because the mind is blank doesn't mean the words are empty" which made sense in an absurdist way. Now that we're rebranding with Empress Norton we're going to adopt her slogan "United we stand. Divided they catch us one by one."
