The audacity of entitled car-driving, homeowners who don't even live in the neighborhood they're concerned about

It drives me nuts when people label my work as the "respectable" kind of queer art just because it's basically PG-13.

Bitch don't pull that nonsense, we stand up for porn in this house. Always defend the weird, ugly, uncomfortable, and cringe, because if we don't push boundaries we don't exist.

We really need all those fees to be reduced to either zero or something trivial like $10 per.

The city has gotta find different funding avenues.

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.

This is not wrong. Mamdani could do the funniest thing ever.

This means that the 2016 election was just a political version of Challengers (2024)

something profoundly broken about people weaponizing their children as a reason that we should continue to invest in sweeping the homeless. Why is sheltering your children from having to see poverty and injustice more important than just building a policy where we eliminate poverty and injustice?

Rent lowering gunshot time: if your support of trans people is limited to those who are on HRT, get the fuck out transphobe.

Fucking bring it. THIS IS WHY WE SAY RUN ACTUAL, HONEST SOCIALISTS. It's not fucking complicated. You can just walk over the billionaire machine if everyone just stops punching left for like five seconds.

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Every accusation is a confession

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is

- more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week)

- more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages)

- more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

There have always been trans people.

There will always be trans people.

The only "trans agenda" is to live authentically.

Removing trans rights, banning trans people from sports, taking away care for trans people puts you on the wrong side of history.

Trans rights are human rights 🩵💗🤍

Today feels like a very good day to talk about why I praise Democrats when they do the right thing.

Everyone wants to be praised. Someone commented on one of my posts, as a gotcha “what are they, dogs?”

And by Downtown, I specifically mean the central business district / downtown neighborhood.

Metered parking can stay for South Waterfront & Pearl districts

City council should look into making Downtown an annual Parking Permit Zone (Zone Z or something) available to employees of Downtown businesses and residents of Downtown. Allow 4 hour visitor parking. Eliminate *metered* street parking in the Downtown neighborhood altogether.

Season 1 Episode 2 of the Newsroom has me cackling

Portland is already the greatest pizza city in the world, beating flyover townships like NYC or Chicago. But, we're living in their shadows when it comes to street food. Are we going to let that stand?

Do you wish you lived in a city where you could simply buy some street food, like a delicious hot dog, while boppin around the city? Then you're going to want to submit written testimony or sign up to speak in favor at the Arts & Economy Committee next Tuesday.

Remember the folks who lost their minds at the spaceship scientists in Prometheus being absolute idiots with death wishes?

They would hate episode 5 of Alien: Earth.

Corporate-employed space scientists being dumb is half the point of the franchise.

ah, well

Obama on Charlie Kirk:

Ezra Klein chalking up racism to disagreements feels incredibly emblematic of why we’re here in this position at this moment in time

I can't remember what rank I put Mitch Green in, but 2026 I'm ranking him #1

It’s funny seeing all the right wing talking heads try and condemn violence, only to be reposted with screenshots of their own calls to violence.

Your ethos means nothing if your praxis contradicts it.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

"political violence is never acceptable," is a phrase you don't hear politicians say after cops beat the shit out of peaceful demonstrators
