All you have to do is to see how comfortable Newsom is in declaring that he is against a billionaire tax.

This is a poster with text that reads: The Dignity Project is a practice led project focused on support for older LGBTQ+ folks. The project is inspired by the work of the late Dr David Hardy and led by Prof Sandy O’Sullivan (MQ). Please get in touch if you want to hear more or be part of the conversation in 2026. At the bottom of the poster is an excerpt from the red cover of David’s book BOLD: stories from older lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people.

This is the next project. Please get in touch, or save this until next year.

We'd love to see your photos of "First, The Future" and where you like to read it!

This is fine. I’m okay with the events that are unfolding currently.

🤣

Connoisseurs of the arts! (also I had to look up how to spell 'connoisseur' again)

One person in our sharehouse was the total expert at it. We'd grab all sorts of stuff and she'd add something that would somehow hit peak dross. Like "This has a lot more tentacles in it than I was expecting" 😅

If it wasn't for video stores, I'd never have seen gems like The Incredible Melting Man. Found out years later it was sposed to be a parody, but they played it serious, and somehow that just made it even funnier 😅

a thing Femi has learned since fatherhood: you can solve more problems than you think by stopping everything and blasting Stevie Wonder's "Innervisions" (1973)

the x-men had a natural green hair woman before they had a normal brunette

Toolkit: how we dealt with Border Patrol In November 2025, Border Patrol announced it would be coming to Charlotte, North Carolina. We only had a few days’ notice. Just like in Chicago and Los Angeles, they weren’t coming to “keep the peace....

This is a gift. Thank you to @siembranc.bsky.social for sharing this new toolkit with what they did when Border Patrol showed up in NC: docs.google.com/document/d/1... - share far and wide especially with our comrades in MN and LA (New Orleans esp).

This is a profoundly anti-Black country. Not just racist but ANTI-BLACK. It is foundational and everpresent.

damn what is it about fascists they always gotta look like they're holdin in the world's most terrifying fart

Kyle Gass was right tho

Goddamnit this dude is outing us! You're not supposed to TELL people metal guitarists sound like an episode of Spongebob without effects 😂

israel has embraced warfare, russia has never abandoned, and now america is again enamored with being the bully.

peace talks or no, this is a bad international formula bound to not end well under all current leaderships.

the west has gone 80 yrs without a world war and they find this more than they can reasonably bear.

intolerance is the foundation for international warfare.

few times has anyone struck a neighbor because they look too much alike — we look for differences to exploit & then we gin up fears in support of that exploitation.

it is hateful & illogical as fuck.

& the west absolutely adores it.

history has taught us nothing. absolutely nothing.

yeah, remigration sounds "politically/culturally sound" to the racist because it's so easy to identify the initial targets of non-white people

but such intolerance is what opens the doors to german vs jew or brit vs irish. contempt is instable.

Today is the last day of the Future Fellowship that I’ve been doing for the last five years. If any of the work we’ve done in thinking about queer in Indigenous lives, creativity, the colonial project of gender and everything else has had an impact on your work or life I’d love to hear from you.

Starting a 'dial-a-getaway-car' service, it's tough out there.

fuck I hope nobody expects me to be poignant on here all the time I mostly dribble shit

Just like (leans back in chair and upchucks a post into the ceiling) 😂

'Fuck' barely made the list and I'm like "nooooo" 😅
