Picked up Crow Country and Pacific Drive upon your recommendation, and I loved both!! Particularly the latter, been wanting to go back and replay it!
God damn, what nice dash of hope this morningπ₯Ή
Is there a list of theaters screening it somewhere?
rewatching NETWORK for a project π and it is absolutely shocking how prescient this film is. itβs like paddy chayefsky was granted a vision of america in 2025 and he furiously tried to turn what he saw into something intelligible to viewers in the 1970s
Remember, they hate trans joy, they hate gay joy, they hate Black joy, they hate Native joy, etc. they hate when we can laugh and love and live our lives in our own skin. They hate that we can find our way without their rigid rules. To find joy and thrive is a great act of resistance too.
The contradiction at the heart of transmisogyny has always been that people will insist they don't see us as women while treating us exactly like women, and specifically as women they are entitled to sexually exploit or brutalize.
I have absolutely no context for this, and I will not be seeking any
Is that good
Let one thousand Piss Christsβ take bloom
"Although there is no evidence that ____, Democratic strategists believe that ____" could be applied to so many things.
Without exaggeration, the last 50+ years of biological research completely discredits every race science claim. It is the single biggest indicator of being a malicious dullard and a reactionary ideologue. The fact Iβve had to dedicate a single minute of my career to addressing it is absurd
The transgender rights movement did not "bet on SCOTUS."
Transgender people are just people who are trying to live their lives in peace and happiness and the structures of power, including the legal system up to SCOTUS and media up to the NY Times, have chosen to abuse them for their own ends.
Theyβll force their will onto your body, and they donβt have to ask. Theyβll hedge and try to sweet talk around it, but thatβs the practical reality.
Tennessee passed a law defining βwomanβ as βmember of the sex that produces, or otherwise would have barring extraneous events, large gametesβ. With all their legalese, they canβt get around the fact that in their minds they know better about your body than you do.
Itβd be funny, if the effects werenβt so cruel. βBiological sexβ means whatever you need it to mean when it comes to controlling otherβs bodies. What it ainβt is some immutable construct delivered from on high, as evidenced by every time they pass one of these www.advocate.com/politics/gen...
My column from Monday. The Alabama Department of Corrections has failed in its basic mission. It cannot keep inmates or staff safe, and in the process threatens public safety. It needs to be replaced with a new agency with a zero-tolerance attitude prison violence, wherever it comes from.
Gender is mostly about doing bits
So far, Nate Silver and Matt Yglesias have come out against this piece which means you know with 100% certainty that Ed is correct and you should listen to what heβs saying
I donβt think you can summarize the fatal problem with modern liberalism any better than βMy issue with the way people are being deported and disappeared is procedural.β
When the US began to strip trans people of rights, revert documentation, move trans women to men's prisons, censor research, and move towards healthcare bans, most cis people posted things like "the government can't tell you who you are!"
They think our biggest issue is validation, not actual harm.

Improv Chattanooga gave Ram and I the most wonderful goodbye at the show last nightπ₯Ήπ₯Ή Some of the kindest and most talented people Iβve ever met, itβs an honor to call them all friends.
The difference between cis HRT and trans HRT reminds of the difference between getting an elective vasectomy vs. an elective hysterectomy. The former is met with little resistance, offered on informed consent; the latter is a last resort, met with a thousand are-you-sures or refused outright
Took me until βSenate minority leader Harry Reidβ to realize that this was not written this week, but 19 YEARS agoπ π
Spent the weekend in Chicago, and GOD it was nice being in a walkable city. Buses and trains showed up on time, the tracking app we used was easy to follow, just top to bottom a fantastic experience. Amazing how the auto lobby destroyed this kind of thing in most of the country
In the Joliet Area Historical Museum straight Reflecting it
if you are a democrat who is retreating on and abandoning trans people, you are evil and throwing all trans people under the bus wonβt stop them for coming after you next
Deactivated my twitter btw. My only active socials now are here, TikTok, insta, and perhaps rednote somedayπ
