Sabrina Carpenter slams the White House for using her song ‘Juno’ for a pro-ICE video:

I had a gay male nurse during my early transition - old enough to have grey hair. He told me he thought us younger queer folks are wonderful and brave, and I had a surprise cry. I’d never been spoken to like that by an older queer person. The AIDS epidemic stole from all of us.
I’ll remember.

Leaning into audiobooks.
I think I prefer female sounding voices vs male. The female sounding voice try more with voices.

So far.

I will report back after I have indulged more.

Roast duck, wild chanterelles, confit potatoes, winter fruit salad. Managed to get this meal on the table the literal moment my partner walked in the door for our visit and he looked at me and said “how did you DO that” the same way I do during a stage magician’s show

The Real Way Schools are Failing Boys “If we really want boys to succeed, we need to ensure that they know how to both beat—and lose— to girls."

"the issue isn’t that we need more 'boy-friendly' reforms. It’s that boys are socialized to compete only with boys and to read girls’ success as illegitimate or emasculating. The result is dissonance, resentment, and disengagement for boys—and hostile climates for girls."

DOGE Isn’t Dead. Here’s What Its Operatives Are Doing Now Contrary to popular reports, DOGE has “burrowed into the agencies like ticks,” government sources tell WIRED.

NEW: Reports of DOGE’s death aren’t highly exaggerated, they’re wrong. Follow @makenakelly.bsky.social and @telliotter.bsky.social on a voyage into the federal agencies where all your favorite young engineers are burrowed in ”like ticks.”

when Michael Phelps was dominating US swimming there was endless coverage of all his genetic advantages. His wingspan, the way his body processed lactic acid, on and on and on. Nobody, not one person, floated the idea of kicking him out of the sport for genetic advantages

Increasingly concerning that the Trump Admin is obliterating data so we can’t document what they’re destroying. In this case, gold standard tracking of health care access, insurance coverage and costs. It’s a study that will help us understand the impacts of the Big Beautiful Bill.

"AI dubs" are dead!

We can indeed stop these companies when they try to replace people with stolen slop.

The solution is bullying corporations, which is half y'all's hobby anyway so this should be easy.

With The Hurt Locker, Kathryn Bigelow #botd became the first woman to win the Academy Award for Best Director, also winning the Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directing, and the BAFTA Award for Best Direction.

Just imagining how much better it would be if ALL news stories about vaccine-preventable illnesses were illustrated with pictures of people with the disease, not pictures of needle injections. If you must show something that people will find scary & unpleasant, make it the disease, not the cure.

chart of child mortality in history, roughly 48% for all societies across the globe…until the 20th century, where it plummets to 4%

Currently dorking out over this graph about child mortality with my brother. Just mind boggling to take in.

Richard Pryor- legend.

Try that for me

I have come to the idea that we have to collectively, brutally, ritualistically kill Target just to show capital that we truly aren’t fucking around.

Akademiks you sloppy cinnamon roll built bitch, you next!

This Day in Labor History: December 1, 1868. A young black former Union soldier named John Henry was among a group of convicts sent from Richmond to West Virginia to blast a railroad tunnel, where he would soon die. Let's talk about the real John Henry!!!

One of my fundamental beliefs is that I should not have to talk to people who have been cruel to me. You might be surprised to learn how often -- and vociferously -- people disagree with me about that.

Congratulations Jlou @wehearvoices.bsky.social on 40K!!!

When one woman rises, she opens the door for many more to follow. Together, we build a world where strength, grace, and courage shine.

Thank you for all you do to defend women’s rights and democracy ✌🏼🌷🤟🏼

It's no longer millennials fault. Poor Gen Z. It's gonna be a long 20 years.

Oh hello 🤩 check out this fresh interview hot off the Mage Hand High Five presses! I had such a blast recording this, it’s the first time I’ve been asked about my process for acting and it was such a joy to do. Truly honored!

Listen wherever you catch your pods.

As dramatic as this will sound (for which I apologise), this is as big an alarm bell as I have heard in years - they have been here over a decade, settled with kids, socially-engaged, German-speaking. The very immigrant this country - this continent? - claims to want.

Tribal IDs Are Federally Recognized. ICE Agents Are Ignoring Them. Opinion. During last year’s Idaho election, a Republican state senator lost his composure when a candidate forum turned to the topic of racism.

“Trish Carter-Goodheart, a Democratic candidate and citizen of the Nez Perce Tribe, spoke plainly: Racism and discrimination remain real and persistent …

When the conversation hit a nerve, [the GOP senator] abruptly stormed out, shouting: ‘Why don’t you go back to where you came from?’”
