A handwritten note reads: “I think it’s important that people don’t feel alone.” The words "I think" are crossed out. The quote is signed “- lou reed.” Faint numbers “86 895” are written at the top.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened on US screens 50 years ago today. Initially a major box office bomb, cult cinema outsiders and queer audiences quickly took up the film’s mantle and turned it into a unique and exciting way of engaging with the movies. Remember kids, don’t dream it—be it!!

Historically successful civil rights movements whose gains are also increasingly coming under fire in the US because the reactionary wing is going full scorched-earth.

We've seen this with MeToo 'going too far', or even 'CRT gone wild'. Stop legitimizing right-wing framing as normal politics.

I think at some point we have to stop indulging the fiction that conservatism is a legitimate political tendency and isn't simply a grievance cult for those who value the ability to enact cruelty over their literal basic needs.

being gay, being trans, those are not choices. but coming out, living as trans or gay or queer, saying "no, i am different, i get to choose life, I get to make myself in my own image, i get to do the work of being myself," that is a choice. for some people, it's a choice that isn't safe to make.

The problem literally cannot be solved by women, and thinking it can is why you have cishet men stripping women's rights back until they are forced to marry lonely men and be the only emotionally present person in their lives. The solution is not primarily in making women treat you differently.

I’m sick of millennials complaining about losing JK Rowling when anyone can see that the real tragedy was losing M.I.A.

Transgender Texas kids are terrified after governor orders that parents be investigated for child abuse Some experts doubt that classifying gender-affirming care as child abuse would hold up in court, but families still feel targeted by Gov. Greg Abbott’s new order

5. In 2022, Abbott also issued a directive mandating that the Texas Department of Family and Protective Services investigate parents who support their trans children for child abuse. In other words, the Governor seems to support parental rights, until it is a parent of a trans kid.

By: Creighton S.B. No. 12 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT relating to parental rights in public education and to certain public school requirements and prohibitions regarding instruction and diversity, equity, and inclusion duties and the loss of funding for public schools that fail to comply with those provisions. BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: SECTION 1. Chapter 1, Education Code, is amended by adding Sections 1.007 and 1.009 to read as follows: Sec. 1.007. COMPLIANCE WITH MANDATORY POLICY. (a) In this section, "public elementary or secondary school" means a school district and a district, campus, program, or school operating under a charter under Chapter 12.

Texas Senate Bill 12, passed by the senate today, is lengthy. It prohibits teaching about sexual orientation or gender identity, prohibits "DEI practices" in K-12, and creates a "parental bill of rights" that, among other things, entitles parents to find out what's being taught in classrooms

more and more these days, I find myself thinking that you can accept the discipline of your political goals or you can accept the discipline of your resentments.

no matter what the circumstances, democrats are always saving their energy for a mythical future situation where they will do something good

Remembering Boca Chica Beach—Before Elon Musk Came to Town Destruction isn't always something physical, but also something done to memory.

Our top story: For the past three years, ENTRE has collected photos, home movies, and oral histories of Boca Chica from Valley residents, who’ve visited the free-access beach, little-known to tourists from the rest of the state, for generations to fish, barbecue, and even camp overnight.
