Despite the uninspiring architecture....

These new developments in the pipeline is GREAT transit oriented development for Indianapolis

And let me be clear -- I wish on JK Rowling everything that she wishes upon trans people.

Indianapolis news media yall killing me 😫🔫

Nestled between El Yunque National Forest and the ocean, 101-year-old Andrés Gonzalez Vega is one of 16.4 million who served in the U.S. military during WWII.

Eighty years later, fewer than 1% remain. González Vega, who is now writing a memoir, is one of them.

Is the FDA about to keep pregnant women from taking antidepressants? A panel of experts repeated what one women's health expert called "MAHA talking points."

Mental health conditions, like suicides & overdoses, are the leading underlying causes of maternal deaths in the US.
Antidepressants save women's lives—& they're safe.
So why is RFKJr's FDA hell-bent on undermining their use among pregnant & postpartum moms?

Photo of Tom Lehrer

My last living musical hero is still my hero but unfortunately no longer living. RIP to the great, great Mr. Tom Lehrer.

Mr Terrific stands, lit by his T-Sphere's, which he's holding like a Baseball Pitcher ready to throw. The background behind him has the words 'FUN FUN FUN' written behind his head, in reference to the song '5 years time.'

"I'm god damn Mr Terrific."

My highlight of the new #SupermanMovie was Mr Terrific, I'm so thrilled that @jamesgunn.bsky.social brought him to the big screen in such a big way.

The design is just so unique and compelling so I had to draw it ASAP.

Mr Terrific :D

Bigoted crybullies in fandom remain deeply fascinating to me.

Every fan of color or trans fan who speaks about something they don't like is an aggressive abuser who reminds them of their family members or ex.

But then they get to say the most heinous things about marginalized fans/chars?

I cannot emphasize enough how true & real this is.

In almost anywhere on the political spectrum you ID with or major issue, there’s probably a bot/troll operation to encourage your rage and vitriol.

And how/where that rage gets directed, esp understandable rage, is what they are out to influence.

Willow “it’s hard to blah blah blah without my KIDS…” well maybe you should’ve thought about that before sleeping with your husbands uncle. Or before taking the kids to DC without letting his family know. Or breaking the deals they tried to make with you. Or any fucking thing, really. #gh

Whoo

Abolish ICE.

For trans people on Medicaid, Trump's "Big, Beautiful Bill" is anything but "They can pry my estrogen from my cold, dead hands.”

I cried while reporting this story.

It was a real honor when a childhood friend reached out to share his experience recovering from Medicaid-funded top surgery while that is jeopardized for so many.

Hear from Max and other trans folk’s on Medicaid about how they are feeling right now:

Thursday and Friday was the 5 year anniversary of the riots

I was there for most of it both days and took this picture hours before it started after walking around the perimeter to see that IMPD had "kettled" us and had created a path to attack peaceful protestor at their flank.

So let me get this straight: the "party of the working class" is kicking millions of people off health care to fund tax cuts that disproportionately benefit the rich?

YouTube video by Katie Phang Congress STRIKES BACK Against Trump’s THREATS to Judges

Trump and his MAGA cronies threaten federal judges to cow them into submission. Now Congress fights back. Katie Phang reports on the MARSHALS Act and the need to take back the protection of our judiciary.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:

1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.

2) Explode the deficit.

3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.

4) Repeat.

They're trying to get away with it again.

I would never be that cruel to a puppy.

I genuinely want this. Also, the Scooby Doo Clue.

Cuz I’d like to? Which, to be fair, wasn’t made clear in the original post, but I assumed it was implied by my asking.
