Felicity!!!

I had to write about Horses for @aftermath.site aftermath.site/horses-indie...

As I keep saying, fascism cannot function without the help of millions of centrists and liberals doing the work on the ground. Thanks to people akin to Newsom and Buttigieg, there's yet another trans person who can't play games with her friends and is now more marginalized than she already was.

Do you know if there's a way to gift a subscription? I'm maybe gonna get for my dad for Christmas!

Philip K Dick movies all have names like CORTICAL IMPASSE and are based on short stories called like "Let's See What's Going On Down at the Brain Factory"

Was reminded of my very favorite tweet of all time today:

A coordinated campaign to drive trans people out of public life Parker Molloy on the latest Oklahoma anti-trans work

I've got a piece up today at @lukeoneil47.bsky.social's Welcome to Hell World. Check it out: www.welcometohellworld.com/a-coordinate...

If Stranger Things was remade today and set the same number of years ago as S1 it would be in 2003 and instead of a resurgence of a Kate Bush song it would be Hoobastank, the kids would dress up for Halloween like Neo and Trinity. No I can’t prove this is actually correct I am not going to do math.

A person can make a lot of money this way, but the cost—or one of the costs, anyway—is that they must never move on from anything; the audience wants only the increasingly rough stuff that it wants, and is more loyal to that demand than to any individual provider or brand. This is an easy market to serve, and an impossible one to serve in a remotely dignified way. Imagine a child actor, bashing away for decades at the weak material that made them famous as they age from moppetry into bleak middle age; imagine, too, that the material in question all militates towards making it impossible for various classes of vulnerable people to exist in public. There is a living to be made doing this, but it seems very much a living hell. Still, sometimes you can catch a ride on a rich person's private plane en route to some conference or ceremony, and sometimes a mean old car dealer will hand you a trophy or a weird sword at some shitty banquet before you make a little speech about the bad thing that happened to you. That is the brass ring Samantha Fulnecky might yet grasp.

Very good @davidjroth.bsky.social on the Oklahoma essay grift.

Grok is British now

you can now get trans people fired from academia by just turning in unambiguously garbage work for them to grade, getting a bad grade, and then having the conservative propaganda apparatus take it from there

Bernard, a host from Westworld, physically and mentally unable to recognize evidence right in front of his eyes: "Doesn't look like anything to me."

[trans people fired from all federal jobs]
[trans people fired from all military jobs]
[trans people fired from jobs everywhere]
[cis people fired for being accused of being trans]
[cis professors fired for mentioning trans people exist]
[trans teacher fired for giving a bad grade to Nazi]

liberal:

RIGHT-WING CHURCHES: we must exterminate the trannies

RIGHT-WING POLITICIANS: we must exterminate the trannies

RIGHT-WING MEDIA: we must exterminate the trannies

RIGHT-WING MOGULS: we must exterminate the trannies

THE CENTRE: to fail the essay "But Da Bible Said So" is viewpoint discrimination

You’d think transitioning to a woman would be about taking off the armor that kept you safe and finally letting yourself be gentle without fear. But, regrettably, it’s about finding the exact amount of evil you need to be to scare away the people in your life who are secretly not normal about you

I want the bass boosted Vince Guaraldi so fucking bad why would you tell me about it if I can't have it

(bass boosted Vince Guaraldi vibrates the walls) y'all come on in out the cold we're watching a delightfully fucked up film about Snoopy

anton chigurrh: if your own petard hoisted you like this, of what use was the petard?

i’ve been laughing at my own joke for 6 minutes so far

If you are a trans woman with a job, you must endure any kind of cruelty anyone cis throws at you without complaining. If someone writes a transphobic essay calling you a demon you have to give them a nice high grade and say thank you and smile so big and make it look genuine or else

oh, should we tell everyone? should we throw a party and stream it? will mr. beast and the ceo of salesforce be there

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

A cartoon drawing of a podcast audience in an auditorium. A speech bubble leading off screen reads "we have a segment on this podcast called 'safety third." In the foreground, an anthropomorphic fox wearing a shirt that says "you're boeing to die" side-eyes an anthropomorphic airliner weearing a shirt that reads "I'm boeing to kill you."

The Washington Post headline reads: "Try a ‘fart walk’ to ease the pressure after that big Thanksgiving meal Whatever you do, resist the urge to lie down. November 24, 2025" Accompanying the article if a black ad white photo of someone walking on what appears to be a cold fall day. The camera is capturing their back as they're walking in a park with leaves on the ground. They are wearing a black coat and black leggings. The Washington Post has added radiating yellow lines from their butt to suggest they're farting. The photo credit says the image is from iStock.

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day

Silence of the Lambs did for trans people what Jaws did for sharks

hearing my partner's sister just say "emo boys kissing?" from the other room and activating my fight or flight before i remember it's our wi-fi password
