Hard to not go fucking insane in a world where they behave like fiction can hurt you while literally bombing schools. Hope all of these fascist fucks take a very long walk off of a very short pier.
cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

i really can not emphasize enough that the most materially impactful thing you can do for trans people right now is hire them.
i went to a panel today where Ross Gay, one of my favorite writers, talked about poetry and process and paying attention with some of my amazing coworkers, and at the end of it i was able to give him a little letter thanking him for his work which he was so kind and gracious about
i don’t think so but there are SO MANY gay people in priory of the orange tree, the better dragon series 😁
I like this a lot, and it applies to everything. You don't have to go total cold turkey on *every* backend-awful thing out there. Maxxabstaining/ Waldenponding isn't needed! Just push your behaviour in a new direction and turn that preference into a habit. That'll move the needle nicely.
Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

Just published an update to this, covering the team structures for the US and Canada (ie. who is on which line), and the news that Team Canada left the Olympic village after one day and moved into a hotel:
Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family.
“He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

'This decision is a major setback for Sex Matters, which raised more than £65,000 to try and force the pond to ban trans people, trying to go against regular swimmers. More than 32,000 people said they wanted the ponds to remain trans inclusive – 86% of the respondents to the consultation'
As January comes to a close, The Rec Center approaches Femslash February, which I believe we've observed every year since the start. But despite putting out a call for F/F fic recs several weeks ago, we've received *checks notes* 3 submissions. 😵💫 C'mon, folks! Please send us your favorite F/F!
This or just dumping people *in the woods* AND sending folks out w/o their phone or I.D.

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength
NEW: MN judges continue to reject arrest warrants in ICE protests. Sources tell @ms.now feds aren’t providing evidence that protestors are committing the crimes of which they’re accused. First byline with the great @carolleonnig.bsky.social and Alex Tabet. www.ms.now/news/minneso...

"Many of ICE’s critics worry that the agency is hoovering up pro-Trump thugs... for a domestic security force loyal to the president. The truth, my experience suggests, is perhaps even scarier: ICE’s recruitment push is so sloppy that the administration effectively has no idea who’s joining."
OK! Request from an out of state neighbor for ways to help MSP. Here are a few:
