we chant “grond” whenever the big boy cat crashes against a latched door in our house, it’s peak

I decided to close the fundraiser from the writers conference and start fresh.

This is really important.

My daughter is terrified and I am on the other side of the ocean. Until I can get an early flight home, I need your help.

Thank you.

Taylor Swift announces next album title: The Queen in Yellow. She told Variety: "A few years back I came across this amazing play and I was so inspired. It's been living in my head for years. I even dream of it, of the city in the play."

every social platform goes through:

1. inception - invite a handful of people to promote fomo

2. early growth - all the lbgtq & SWers show up to add coolness & legitimacy

3. late growth - mass appeal to casual users

(you are here)

4. purge - lgbtq/SWers get pushed off by repressive policies

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

We laugh at this shit -- I mean, how can you not? -- but it's serious: these guys want to infuse reactionary thinking into AI and then infuse AI into every nook & cranny of American life. They can't win the argument so they are trying to blunt-force their views onto us with money & power.

Miss Major, one of the mothers of the trans liberation movement, has been in the hospital for 10 days with sepsis and a blood clot. She has looked out for us for generations, now it’s time to look out for her. Donate if you can: fundly.com/missmajor

Another Sunday, another interview in the New York Times where two cis men politely discuss if trans people are actually human or not. No consensus reached! Oh well!

Klein: I think, from your perspective and from my perspective, we probably don’t believe hugely different things. But a huge amount of the country, a majority of the country, believes things about [edit: the jews], about what policy should be toward [edit: the jews], about what language is acceptable to [edit: the jews], that we would see as fundamentally and morally wrong. And what politically — not in a column or something, but politically — should our relationship with those people be? Do we win them over? Do we compromise with them? This feels like a very salient question. The Republican Party is going to make sure this is a relentlessly salient question.

i took a stab at editing ezra klein’s most recent comments about trans people and electoral politics to make a point often lost by the american liberal commentariat

They made my existence into an "issue" then complained I'd become a single issue voter

truly the high life

Couldn't take Chicago, so he's going after Portland. Like a high school bully that got bodied by a wrestler so he tries to take it out on a theater kid. Pathetic.

It’s 100% time to gird your loins and get your head ready to fight any government that tries to bail this out when it pops. This isn’t the banks, which are essential to everyone’s well-being. It’s not even a railroad or an insurance company, where failure would harm a subset.

This isn’t essential.
