I just got a VERY interesting email that allies in congress were upset that so many of my readers were calling about the anti-trans provisions. I'm here to say: good. I won't let them throw our rights under the bus by cover of night.

All's that to say, keep up the calls. They're hearing you.

The "liberals have to learn how to live with people we diagree with" line kinda stops making sense in a world where the central disagreement is whether disagreeing with them should be allowed at all

I thought those were buckeyes at first glance 😅

Them: So what have y'all been up to?
Me: Haha, you know. The usual.

The Usual:

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

With the knitting kerfuffle, the old "fisherman's sweaters were used as a means of identifying their dead bodies" fish story is back.

While clothing has always been used to identify people and homemade clothing may be especially helpful close to home, sweaters weren't knitted as cadaver tags

The Hatfields keep blaming the McCoys every time a Hatfield shoots another Hatfield.

To my fellow cishet dudes: when we are quiet about supporting the trans community, the only voices anyone hears are the Charlie Kirks of the world. Don't let accusations of being "performative" or "virtue signaling" shut you up - that's their whole point. Our voices are needed now more than ever.

I just caught a three day Reddit ban for quoting Brian Kilmeade in a comment. 🤦🏻‍♀️

As my hairline recedes, I think it’s all migrating to my nostrils. And I’d like to file a complaint.

When Target reinstates whatever empty inclusion policies to try to recoup their losses, I hope we don’t develop amnesia and start supporting a group that is clearly eager to sell us out for some nazi’s approval.

Friendly reminder that it is possible to be both incredibly corrupt and egregiously stupid.

If you look at the six wars I settled earlier this year, none of them had all of these pesky complications like actual conflict!

Okay, here's a wild one fresh from my frontal lobe. Watch out, pearl clutchers:

Anyone else think toddlers are like little, drunk landmines disguised as dumplings? Just me? Guess my inner "dad jokes" dealer needs rehab.

This is *exactly* pedantic enough.

Minor pedantry

People are using “diamond in the rough” to mean “hidden gem” and it irritates me.

Hidden gem: something amazing but obscure

Diamond in the rough: something that will be amazing after it gets refined a bit

He clapped. The man is a war criminal who would be arrested in any other developed country and Trump is literally applauding for him.

Ok, new hot take: Instead of banning pineapple on pizza, we ban small talk at the DMV. Think of the children! Also, Nickelback was actually ahead of its time. FIGHT ME. 😎

Butt why?

Bindis and hair ties, like. Where do they go?
One pack should last years, in theory. But apparently I move through the world leaving a wake of elastic bands and velveteen confetti.

As far as baby gods go, Ganesha wins. Lord of speech, remover of all obstacles, was there ever going to be a better representative than an anthropomorphic toddler elephant?

There's a certain set of shared values underlying Jeffrey Epstein saying "She's not here for you" to Trump about a woman he was abusing and Trump complaining that Epstein was "stealing" his people.

If we could stop being this meme for like five minutes

The contrast between the high priest of the largest local pagan group posting about how trans people should stop complaining about discrimination causes Trump is worse, and the Buddhist monastery where there are bathroom signs supporting trans people, is really stark right now.
