Quote this with a book you read way too young that explains why you are the way you are.

The Black Gryphon

(awesome book, but also I'm moderately certain that 10 year olds shouldn't be reading it, lol)

I think a lot of the average non-trans queer people didn’t shrug, they also saw this coming

The people who “didn’t” were the politicians, big name not-trans queer activists, etc, who did in fact see this coming but seemingly didn’t care as long as trans people got hurt first???

John Boyne owes being able to be out to trans people and gender non conforming queers. It wasn’t bald middle class men in tweed jackets chucking bricks and starting riots and abseiling into parliaments. Cunt.

The worst thing about Trump federalizing DC because Big Balls got beat up is that Trump and Epstein raped children for years and the GOP likes it that way.

Meme comic. Panel 1: Person in trans pride shirt: "Mom, I'm trans" Panel 2: Mom: "Is that because of that game you play?" Panel 3: Trans person: "Oh yeah, lemme check if I accidentally played the fucking game that makes you trans" Panel 4: Looking at a copy of Masks A New Generation: "Oh fuck"

I have never played a game of Masks A New Generation where everybody was cis

Listen I read a ton of Clarke when I was a kid but the sci-fi genre is INCREDIBLY broad and full of women, trans people, Black authors, Asian authors, etc.

I think some of the classics are absolutely great as part of a well-rounded diet but there is SO MUCH MORE for people new to the genre.

WHAT THE HECK IS IN THOSE FILES?!

Also worth pointing out that "crime" means "things that aren't illegal but they wish were," because funnily enough, things Republicans do on the regular are crimes. Like harass women, stalk people, and menacing charges.

Said it before, but with the money he spent on Twitter, he could have ended world hunger for years, or housed ever single homeless person in America several times over.

Instead, he bought and cratered a website to spite his trans daughter.

He desires adoration but will never do anything to gain it

Not even living in America for 14 years disillusioned me on voting the way a year of Labour has. They’re not even Tory Lite, they’re just more Tories.

Every viable party wants to eradicate me and mine from public life, they’re all gonna cut benefits, none of them will fix the NHS. Fuck them.

Whole thread but this is pretty important. Cuomo had to resign in disgrace for being a corrupt sexual predator. He was not a good governor. Mamdani won the primary for a lot of reasons, but one of them is Dem voters didn't want Cuomo. They at least want to TRY what Mamdani is proposing.

you can't say (correctly) "Vote Blue no matter who" and then desert the idea when a left-winger wins, and party leaders even encouraging or winking at opposition to Mamdani at this point are fools

yeah, it’s not ending with the cops

Love to see FBI agents with accounting degrees walking the streets of DC bullying homeless people instead of doing their jobs because a DOGE cybercriminal named "Big Balls" got beat up by a 15 year old.

its so funny that james comey helped trump get elected as part of a calculation to help protect the institutional independence of the FBI and this is the result

June Thomas was my first editor at Slate, and when I saw her name on the longlist for the Polari Prize I emailed immediately, before I even had the full outlines of the story.

June's always been solid on trans rights, so it was no surprise when she responded she was in the process of withdrawing.

This decision disgraces our city and it disgraces you, @mayorwu.boston.gov

Is the budget in such dire straits that you’d betray some of our most vulnerable, and invite ICE into our city?

Or are you still incapable of standing up to or reigning in our police department?

How am I supposed to get work done when he's THIS cute?

They were no longer strange things. They ... were stranger things.

My favourite Bohr story is when two of his grad students took him to the movies - a Western. After the film was over they asked him if he liked it. He said that he did (of course, because Bohr was a nice person) but that the gunfight at the end was entirely predictable. The good guy was obviously…

This is why all unsolicited theories I receive go into an appropriately labeled e-mail folder and never return

See legislators? This isn't a difficult concept.

Still doing videos!

Things that will never stop being hilarious:

Out of an entire room full of people from MAGfest...2010 or 2011, I think?...exactly ONE person is still there original gender.

There were almost a half dozen eggs in that room.

Buckaroo Banzai was supposed to battle the World Crime League, someone pulled the plug, now look where we are.

Here, Casey makes the single best argument as to why AI-generated movies will never, ever beat human-created movies. The Greasy Strangler. That's all you need to know. End of discussion.
