I saw a video about people sending social newsletters to their friends now, and I'm honestly enamored with the idea of a curated newsletter full of memes, stories, and rants from my pals. I was too young for the mailing list fandom days, and now it's come back in an odd way.

That was the longest, dumbest, preamble to a racist question I’ve ever heard.

A faux retro Taiwanese movie poster of JAWS (1975) all text is in Traditional Chinese. The poster depicts a famous scene of Mrs. Kitner slapping Chief Brody, telling him that her boy is dead. Behind Brody are Mayor Vaughn and Dr. Hooper all look sad and ashamed, heads hanging low. Behind Mrs. Kitner is the funeral director reaching out for Mrs. Kitner, getting ready to take her away from the scene. Mrs. Kitner is dressing all in black. Skirt, blazer, heels, and a hat with a veil. The veil and skirt blowing in the wind. Chief Brody wears glasses, a blue Amity Police jacket, brown shoes, and khakis. His head is low and turned away from the viewer after being slapped. He is looking away from the viewer in shame. Vaughn is wearing a striped blazer with a pink shirt, brown shoes, and dark blue slacks. Hooper is wearing a beanie, glasses, denim jacket, denim pants, and converse shoes. The funeral director wears a fedora, glasses and all black suit. In the background is the tiger shark they mistook for the great white shark,  strung up on a hook and rope, and were prematurely celebrating its capture. Further into the background all the townspeople look equally ashamed for the death of the Kitner boy and their now embarrassing celebration.

If there was any justice in the world it would be disqualifying to be the lawyer of Netenyahu. It would be disqualifying to not recognize the genocide. And it would certainly be fucking disqualifying to call the Muslim candidate scary over & over on the basis of nothing but the fact he’s Muslim.

Protesters have blocked the westbound side of Canal. They are chanting "ICE out of New York now!" and "Liberation, not deportation!"

every true crime doc: for decades the police tripped over their own dicks and tried to pin the murders on random people and then suddenly someone called and told them exactly what happened

I had a theater all to myself today to see Good Boy, which is great because I did cry the whole time over how good a boy he was.

Back in 2019 I criticized TS for performing at Stonewall during pride because there were many more queer artists who should have been there instead.

Gaylors gave me so much hate on the off-chance that this millionth "clue" was her coming out story.

You know a lot of people are telling me, Mr. President the ribbon around your neck is the most beautiful I’ve ever seen but we never see you without it. They’re saying we need to know, we deserve to know what you look like without it. It’s true. But I’m not gonna take it off. Maybe I’ll take it off

Question: how comfortable are you reading someone else’s handwriting in cursive?

I think my cursive can be pretty clean to read, and then I find all the weird shortcuts I took and wonder if anyone would be able to enjoy a letter I penned πŸ˜‚

And now for today's good news ... a wonderful librarian now has a full time job getting people excited about books. All kinds of books. Even the diverse ones that the government doesn't want you to read.

Republicans are shutting down the government because they don’t want to fix the health care crisis they created.

They’re holding the entire government hostage so they can raise health care premiums by 75% for 20 million Americans and throw millions off their health care.

NO.

Pritzker: "People of Illinois, we need your help. Get our your cell phones, record and narrate what you see. Put it on social media. Peacefully ask for badge numbers and identification. Speak up for your neighbors. We need to let the world know that this is happening and that we won't stand for it."
