Pro tip: Don’t put me down as a reference if I once heard you say in a social media meeting β€œTERF clicks are still clicks.”

Dang man. Conde Nast selling Them to Equalpride, a week after they laid off all those people at The Advocate, Out, and Pride dot com is a heavy nail in the coffin of queer and trans media.

Today’s military strikes on Iran β€” carried out by the United States and Israel β€” mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

FIFA to 'monitor developments' in Iran ahead of 2026 World Cup FIFA will "monitor developments" in Iran following the outbreak of military action by the United States -- the co-hosts of this summer's men's World Cup -- against the Middle Eastern nation.

This is a much smaller issue, of course, but if any other country had violated international law as much as the US has over the last year, it would be banned from international sports competitions.

My wife told me β€œpizza doesn’t taste as good when I’m eating it without you” which has got to be the most romantic thing anyone has ever said. Sorry, Mr. Darcy.

You gotta get yourself some cross-stitch goodies from Megan. I ordered this Melissa Hat one for my wife and it’s her favorite thing I’ve ever gifted her in 15 years. She placed it on the wall directly over her shoulder so it can be seen on all Zooms.

i think we need to be very clear that forcing trans people to use documents with the wrong marker is a form of sexual humiliation, it’s sexual harassment from the state itself

I really hate anti-trans politicians, and I especially hate it because it was a culture war issue where we were clearly winning and then a bunch of nominally liberal people at the Times and the Atlantic decided to reverse that and they did.

But man I am trapped in a mental countdown to the anniversary of my grandpa passing. I’ve never had this happen before. Every day, I’m like β€œ11 more days. 10 more days.” Today is 9 more days. I don’t have anything planned but it is so heavy on my heart and mind. Grief is the WEIRDEST thing.

I’m not big on holidays, my birthday, that kind of stuff. I never really was but it’s way more true now with Long COVID. It takes every ounce of energy I have to complete my bare minimum daily tasks. I can cook dinner and do my part-time job or I can execute a birthday cake/card situation. Not both.

BREAKING: the city of Los Angeles just officially recognized Long COVID Awareness Day, and will light City Hall teal in observation of the day on March 15.

I was at the City Hall meeting and just spoke with the advocates that made it happen. Story to come in @thesicktimes.org!

Susan Levine at NYU is the doc who diagnosed me. She's a Dysautonomia specialist. Last I heard, she was not accepting new patients because of so many Long COVID cases. I've had great luck with Westside Family Medicine's Brooklyn team for just trying treatments with me. V. queer/trans friendly!

Nice try, but I know for a fact Beth didn't tell you ANYTHING because she HATES STRANGERS and would NEVER SPEAK TO ANYONE who is not her MOTHERS!

One of my favorite things about cats is when they meow at you to pet them, it’s always so annoyed! Like β€œHello? Are you seriously not petting me right now?”
