AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

The collective scream of every sex educator of the last 30 years who worked their asses off for pennies, just to make accurate helpful sex information available to everyone online and off, and then people are like “what do you expect, there’s no progressive sex advice for men”

A different way of practicing politics is possible - where we vigorously fight for what’s right while inviting people into our coalition, rather than pushing them away.

This. Please stop telling me that you are “not surprised.”

Public interest journalism isn’t about shock value.

It’s about informing people and holding power to account.

I don’t care if you’re not surprised by the information I report on.

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”

Trans issues have been especially divisive for Democrats in the wake of the 2024 election, when Republicans used the subject to cast Kamala Harris and other opponents as out-of-touch. Newsom, another possible 2028 contender who visited South Carolina last week, drew backlash from activists and some liberal colleagues this year when he said “it’s deeply unfair” for trans athletes to participate in women’s sports. In South Carolina, Beshear was eager to talk about how he had handled LGBTQ issues, however. “I vetoed it because it was the right thing to do,” he said of the bill in Kentucky. “I said my faith teaches me that all children are children of God, and I didn’t want people picking on those kids.”

If the (wildly popular) governor of Kentucky can say this with his whole chest then what excuse does the (wildly unpopular) governor of California have?

And one final thought: Ozzy going out after giving an emotional final performance that raised a ton of money for charity is more spiritually uplifting and did more genuine good than anything any televangelist and religious grifter who railed against him ever did combined.

I cannot even begin to describe the controversy and drama this man brought into my household as a kid.

What a legend.

I have to remind myself that 90-95% of the interactions I have day to day are kind. But those 5-10% when you’re already having a horrendous day really fucking hit.

I miss when people at least pretended to have basic empathy. Life is so fucking hard… why do so many people refuse to try to survive this mess together instead of turning on each other?

I’m tired.

(Trigger warning in the video for lots of different types of trauma)

Alright this one got me. Full legit actual LOL 😂😂😂

You wanted an Oops! All DMs season of Dimension 20, and Katie brought you an Oops! All DMs season

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

Right?? 😂😂😂 He knows what we *really* want!

I’m so glad!!! You deserve all the fun and Ackles hugs!! 🥰

We keep on going and winning 💪

GIRL

(I didn’t know you were going to a con!! Did you have fun???)

Jensen Ackles wearing jeans and a gray tshirt looking obnoxiously sexy with his signature effortless smolder. Male modeling son of a bitch.

I do not have TIME for this today, damn you

What the FUCK, Ackles

It is so god. damn. funny. (but also really brilliant and creative as hell!)

I feel like @samreich.bsky.social would appreciate knowing that I am a mental health therapist and I am aware of his programming bc multiple of my clients and MY OWN THERAPIST recommended it to me. I can hear his evil cackle from here.

Game Changer on Dropout TV is my most recent hyperfixation. A game show all about very specifically and personally torturing your friends in a game show setting - your extremely nerdy/geeky/creative/hilarious/competitive friends - is so specifically my jam it feels like a gift!

Alright. I guess it’s time for me to officially get excited about this again. @carryingwayward.bsky.social is coming back!!

Cincinnati Children's chaplain detained by ICE Ayman Soliman was arrested after an ICE check-in, supporters say in advance of press conference.

I really hope the Cincinnati medical community shows up to support Ayman and protests the evil that is occurring in this country at the hands of a fascist government.

Anyone in Scotland or Europe feel like throwing me a job offer bc I’d really like to not be in the US anymore.

There are no red states, no blue states, only purple, from Idaho fuchsia to Vermont violet. And in every state there are children, non-citizens, and prisoners who can't vote. In every state where one candidate won, a bunch of people voted for the other candidate. And so forth.

Mary… I don’t even know what to say. I am shocked and just so fucking sad. I love you and I so wish I could hug you today.

Does anyone have a resource that clearly defines what’s going to happen to the ACA and when?

Congress’ vote now leads to me trying to decide if I need to close my small business so that my kids with chronic health conditions can still get healthcare.

Because we’re so fucking great.

I really don’t know what to do or how to process any of this. I am so scared for us.

Remember, Pride month is extended until morale improves.

*looks around*

It's gonna be Pride month for a while, keep posting that gay shit.

Trump Admin Begins Processing Some Trans Passport Updates, Though It Will Maintain Data On Requests On Wednesday, at least some transgender people applying for passports in person at passport offices for urgent travel have received updated passports with correct gender markers.

1. Good news for trans people: I have independently confirmed that the Trump admin is now processing passport updates in compliance with a court order.

Multiple trans people have gotten their gender markers updated.

There are important caveats though, read on.
