if you see anyone expressing shock that a candidate who exudes warmth and authenticity and wants to improve the quality of life for working class people won over a rapist whose entire campaign was
"that guys a terrorist" that's not a smart person. you don't have to listen to that person anymore.

Every time someone refers to these, just speculate out loud that they'll be used to track and identify people traveling out of state for abortion care. Works like a charm. I cluster bombed a whole table of my coworkers planning to buy them by reminding them Meta already cooperates with the police.

A photograph from the 1988 ACT UP demonstration outside the FDA. Many people are participating in a die-in on the front steps, holding mock tombstones with messages like "RIP - killed by the FDA" and "Dead from lack of drugs." A line of police officers (some with classic 80s mustaches) wearing riot helmets stands between them and the building; one cop wearing white gloves is walking through the demonstrators. Affixed to the 2nd story windows of the building is a series of posters and a large blank banner reading Silence = Death.

This week in 1988: 1,000+ ACT UP demonstrators shut down the FDA headquarters, demanding (and eventually winning) action on developing HIV/AIDS treatments. ACT UP's militant and creative actions always included powerful visual artwork, and paved the way for movements in the decades to come.

We Must Not Posthumously Sanitize Charlie Kirk's Hateful Life Influential anti-LGBTQ+ activist Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday. While condemning violence is something most can get behind, sanitization of his hate has gone too far.

There has been a rush among centrists like Gavin Newsom and Ezra Klein to brush over the hateful life of Charlie Kirk and valorize the man.

Let me be clear, killing Charlie Kirk was wrong and abhorrent.

We must condemn murder without sanitizing a man who built his empire on hate.

My latest piece.

How to record ICE:

1) Record from a safe distance. DO NOT INTERVENE.
2) Put the DATE, TIME, & LOCATION on the video.
3) Ask for NAMES & BIRTHDAYS
4) CONTEXT, how many people were taken? What happened? How?
5) If possible, document vehicles used and agents, even if masked.

Yesterday I described myself as having once been a "respectability politics lesbian" and this more or less works as a definition of my politics.

At the time, I would have said the future for LGBTQ+ ppl was staying within their families and communities of origin.

You can go home again, the General Temporal Theory asserts, so long as you understand that home is a place where you have never been.

This story is about one of the ones who walked away from Omelas.

Sometimes I still fall back into young me. Afraid I can't take care of myself...Like when I feel too ill to get in the car for Sudafed - taking it for lack of will or failing of character, over a body's frailty
But instant food is still food
Asking for help is still an accomplishment
I still count

JAWS really is the quintessential* 4th of July movie that shows you America. Everyone is stressed out about money and jobs while a giant shark keeps picking us off and it's going to take three people from very different backgrounds in a boat to end this

*Quint-Essential, nice

nothing matters. everything is computer. go ahead and eat that 5th hotdog

No children, eh?
