SO TRUE

it happened again: i went to a public place in washington dc and immediately overheard a guy in his 20s explaining basic concepts from united states politics to his date

This Is The Last I'll Speak On It, I Swear, by Miri Tyler 9 track album

hey so, the drummer for ekko astral, miri tyler, just dropped a new solo album and it’s absolutely incredible

i’ve been hearing these gorgeous songs at her solo shows for years and now it’s finally out

highly suggest you consider buying and streaming this opus this new music friday! seriously!!!!!

Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

if I had a nickel for every time I showed up at the Columbia pike location of a business and got told “go elsewhere, our systems are down” I would somehow have three nickels

an administration consisting entirely of guys who think Skyler White was a bitch and Walt was real cool

me sitting through ds9 plot episodes so we can get back to one off episodes about quark illegally selling v bucks in the station sewer with a b plot about miles accidentally losing julian's PrEP in an inter dimensional portal and having to retrieve it before he notices

The Future of National Park Updates About Trans People: "Learn more about Blanchard’s typology by scanning the QR code at the Center for Brooklyn History!" There’s something cheaply humiliating about being asked to care about what the National Park Service has to say about trans people, if only as a bellwether of federal mood.

something especially stupid about being made to care about what the National Park Service has to say about trans history. like having to learn the U.S. Geological Survey has an opinion on butch flight

While the news about Stonewall NM is far from being the worst or most consequential actions from the Trump administration, it’s a really terrifying erasure of transgender history. As a historic preservationist with some familiarity with the National Park Service, it’s scary to see this

demon summoning spells aren't real and don't work. ghosts are fake. paranormal investigators have to focus on what tiny women standing in front of you rock concerts are doing to materialize their very large tall boyfriends to an area in your eyeline 20 seconds before the show starts

jenny read me your explanation last year and I’m seconding her on how cool and clear and informative it was, you should do it!!

After months of living in the DMV I still can’t bring myself to honk at even the most egregious transgressions. Must be my gentle spirit and loving nature.

Legacy media helped create this anti-trans moment Mainstream newsrooms like the New York Times downplay Trump's latest attack on trans rights after years of helping lay the groundwork for it.

Wrote something for @objectivejournos.bsky.social today: objectivejournalism.org/2025/01/lega...

PLEAAAAAAAASEEEEE cant wait to see you next so that i can yap about MY SHOW to you

everyone who posts badly should get a diary so that i see their bad posts less. everyone who posts well should get a diary to workshop their best public sphere posting in private.

I think we should start describing really banal but necessary community service/organizing tasks with the same urgency goofballs say "buy a gun and protect yourself NOW." Everyone sit on hold with the Social Security people for eight hours to get an elderly neighbor's checks reinstated. NOW!!!

now that tiktok is back i have resumed my regular habits (getting tiktoks texted to me, waiting 90 seconds, and responding "haha")

Screenshot of article. Text reads “One such concrete structure was damaged and inspectors found that it had been "augmented with several pieces of wood." "The stacked pieces of wood did not appear to be functional to support the pipe," the EPA said.” Followed by picture of small piece of wood wedged between a broken support and the water pipe.

Screenshot of article. “While chemicals were not being dosed at all in that case, the EPA inspectors were informed that other chemicals were dispensed without much regularity. This includes copper sulfate, used to prevent algae growth. According to the EPA, it was just poured into the water by 50-pound bags during the summer without prior testing or proper measurements. This could be hazardous. Another chemical, poly aluminum chloride (PAC) - which helps with clumping of debris - is also dispensed without formal procedure. As the flow rate meters were unreliable throughout the system, the EPA said this could result in improper chemical doses, as "flow is critical to determining chemical dosing."”

Thank you, my joke would have been funnier if I simply made a factual statement as you suggested

I’m dreaming of a white christmas*

nothing makes me feel more like some kind of stupid folksy character in midcentury kidlit than the notion of a u.s. government shutdown. "you're telling me people can't get paid by their jobs because YOU'RE not doing YOUR job" and other 2013 twitter variety ownage i am usually smart enough to avoid

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?”

if you go out to any moderately priced restaurant in washington dc it will take about three seconds of casual eavesdropping to hear a classic washington dc phrase like “my opinion on DEI…” or “well, during the FIRST trump administration…”
