Overheard in Philly:

"What's the point in driving if you can't give someone the finger?"

Oddly gender affirming things:

When gay dude pornbot blogs follow you on Tumblr and DM you asking if you'd like to be in a sugar relationship.

No thank you pornbot, but thanks for asking! 😅

Philly schools will continue to allow transgender athletes to participate in sports that match their gender identity The move breaks with PIAA, which passed a policy that sides with an executive order from President Trump.

The Philadelphia School District indicated it will ignore a rule directing schools to ban transgender athletes from participating in sports that match their gender identities.

The move comes after the state’s interscholastic athletics governing body changed a key policy around transgender athletes.

... So should we even bother with filing for taxes this year 👀

If you identify as a Pagan/heathen/witch/ (and all the other things that fall under this wide umbrella term) and you have issues with queer folks, particularly trans people, I suggest doing some meditation about that.

You know. Shadow work and all that.

Woke up in my trans body, in my trans bed, next to my trans wife, in my trans house.

Drinking my trans coffee while I transgenderally prep for today's trans activities.

If any of this offends, scares, or makes you uncomfortable, please feel free to gargle my transgenderized balls.

So they're dissolving the Department of Education and every other part of the government and Musk has the Treasury but my student loan payment jumped from $100/mo (IBR Plan) to $500.

Joke's on you fuckers if you think I'm paying that.

See you at the fucking protest 🗽🇺🇸

Almost wrote another 20-comment thread to say that:

1. trans women can be lesbians, bi, or straight,

2. it's reasonable for any woman to not like or trust men,

3. shaming us for the gender(s) we're attracted to (or not) is transphobic as fuck, and

4. sowing division among trans women is evil.

I didn't hear about the removal of the "end racism" text until this morning so I totally understand why folks boycotted the Superb Owl.

Oddly enough, I found myself watching the game and I can confirm that the overall message and theme behind the ads and entertainment was VERY anti-MAGA.

I don't think I've ever seen a street sweeper in NE Philly 😅

Follow up thought:

All sports from local playground leagues, bar leagues, all the way up to the pros - should be gender neutral.

If you can play, you can play.

An athlete is an athlete.

You cannot call yourself an ally to trans people when this comes out your mouth: "now the only thing I *do* agree on is when it comes to sports..."

Full stop 🛑

Fuck you 🖕

Do better 🗽

Haven't logged into WebToon for a long while and decided to catch up on Lore Olympus only to find out you have to pay for everything now. Even shit I already read for free is locked behind a paywall.

Uninstall 🖕

End stage capitalism ruining literally everything.

🚬😩

Took a few mins on my lunch to walk over to City Hall. The energy there feels tired but hopeful. Angry but focused. Philly is where the bell of Liberty resides and we will keep freedom ringing.

A well-researched blog post can be the foundation of a future book ☺️

That's where my thoughts and efforts have been focused too. I'm determined to survive this and win the long fight 💪

Reflections on Katherine Kurtz's "Lammas Night" — Witches Betwixt For those unfamiliar with the book, Lammas Night is a work of historical fiction set in the WW2 era that follows a group of British occultists trying to recruit other groups of occultists to join them in a combined working on Lammas night to drive back the Nazi invasion of Britain.

You could tell he was gassing himself up for that "salute". You could see it in his eyes he was so fucking excited about it like a little kid. "Yeah, I'm gonna do it! It's gonna be so cool! I'll show them!"

I'm not a bullying advocate but someone beat him up and take his lunch money please 😩

I think the reason I never got into TikTok is because I prefer text-based social media vs. video. Bless modern day subtitles (good use of AI) because I watch most videos that come across my feeds on mute 😅

All this TikTok shit is theater. I was able to login into the account I have for the podcast and post a video. (I deleted it because it was just me awkwardly staring.) But yeah... Shit is back on it seems just so Cheeto & Co can take credit for "saving it" or w/e.

So tired 🚬☕ 😩

Never got into TikTok and I'm more of a lurker on social media overall, but that doesn't mean I can't be outraged at the ban. This is a direct violation of our First Amendment rights. There was never any national security issue. This was all about control.

Christo-Fascism must be stopped.

Someone had a black lab puppy on the elevator at the office this morning. Everyone was Awkward Elevator Quiet but everyone was smiling at the dog 😅
