Oh no no no no no. Oh Miche I am so sorry. I’ve loved getting to see her beautiful smiling face in your pictures.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

Post Headline: Trump moves to fire top Federal Reserve official Lisa Cook The president moved to oust Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook over unproven allegations that she committed mortgage fraud, ratcheting up his push to bend the independent central bank to his will.

Trump Says He Is Removing Lisa Cook From Federal Reserve Board President Trump took the extraordinary step of moving to oust Ms. Cook in a legally dubious maneuver that could undermine the independence of the nation’s central bank.

FUCK ME DO NOT DESCRIBE TRUMP'S PLANS IN THE HEADLINES WITHOUT NOTING THEY ARE ILLEGAL.

Trump signs order to criminally charge those who burn US flag in protest US president attempts to circumvent 1989 supreme court decision which said flag burning is protected speech

Who wants to join me for a good ol’ fashioned flag-burning party?

i give it a year tops before some administration account is tweeting pro-slavery propaganda

Almost as if it wasn’t a good idea for democrats to join in on the anti-covid rhetoric to the point that it overwhelmed policy based on science, almost as if that was exactly the plan.

I love this!

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to…
A: find your mom’s Facebook
B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were
C: badly photoshop that into a locket
D: convince you I’m your daughter.

Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

Why These Trans Teens and Their Families Risked Everything to Get Gender-Affirming Care It’s as simple as love.

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share.

These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

The Moderate Case Against Trans Youth Healthcare Bans The disinformation on transgender youth healthcare is extreme, and many people hold weakly held opinions on that care. I talk about how to move the needle with those who are uncertain.

1. I spend a lot of time talking about transgender youth healthcare with people who are uncertain about it.

A large number of my readers are politically moderate and trying to learn.

Today, I laid out my case against bans for my readers who fit that mold.

WTH? Did I miss something?

This expands a similar purge recently at the Naval Academy library, in Maryland. Last month, civilian Navy officials, following orders originating from Mr. Hegseth, pulled from shelves books including one that critiqued “The Bell Curve,” a 1994 text that argues that Black men and women are genetically less intelligent than white people. But the academy kept “The Bell Curve” itself on its shelves.

You’re allowed to argue that black people and women are genetically inferior. But you’re NOT allowed to argue they are NOT inferior because that’s divisive. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/09/u...

It’s honeysuckle season! This year’s lineup: jelly and lemonade in addition to the classic sorbet.

WOW! That is amazing

Gorgeous!

I love this

The colors really look good!

They have and are literally doing things in every box. This isn't just journalistic failure by the NYT, it is disinformation.

The ideal of masculinity: destroying things other people built, whining about it, blaming someone else.

We had a HUGE crowd in Durham!

“The new head of the FDA division that oversees baby formula is a corporate lawyer who previously defended Abbott against a lawsuit.”

A heart in trans flag colors (pink white blue) under a rainbow says “You are loved. You matter. Your life matters. You deserve to feel safe.” #TransDayOfVisibility

SO good!

Light from Uncommon Stars is the story of a trans teen who just wants to play violin and live as herself, but also includes aliens hiding among us, and a literal deal with the devil. It’s a wild, beautiful novel. Highly recommend!
