God damn, what nice dash of hope this morning🥹

Is there a list of theaters screening it somewhere?

rewatching NETWORK for a project 👀 and it is absolutely shocking how prescient this film is. it’s like paddy chayefsky was granted a vision of america in 2025 and he furiously tried to turn what he saw into something intelligible to viewers in the 1970s

Remember, they hate trans joy, they hate gay joy, they hate Black joy, they hate Native joy, etc. they hate when we can laugh and love and live our lives in our own skin. They hate that we can find our way without their rigid rules. To find joy and thrive is a great act of resistance too.

The contradiction at the heart of transmisogyny has always been that people will insist they don't see us as women while treating us exactly like women, and specifically as women they are entitled to sexually exploit or brutalize.

I have absolutely no context for this, and I will not be seeking any

Is that good

Let one thousand Piss Christs’ take bloom

"Although there is no evidence that ____, Democratic strategists believe that ____" could be applied to so many things.

Without exaggeration, the last 50+ years of biological research completely discredits every race science claim. It is the single biggest indicator of being a malicious dullard and a reactionary ideologue. The fact I’ve had to dedicate a single minute of my career to addressing it is absurd

The transgender rights movement did not "bet on SCOTUS."

Transgender people are just people who are trying to live their lives in peace and happiness and the structures of power, including the legal system up to SCOTUS and media up to the NY Times, have chosen to abuse them for their own ends.

They’ll force their will onto your body, and they don’t have to ask. They’ll hedge and try to sweet talk around it, but that’s the practical reality.

Tennessee passed a law defining “woman” as “member of the sex that produces, or otherwise would have barring extraneous events, large gametes”. With all their legalese, they can’t get around the fact that in their minds they know better about your body than you do.

It’d be funny, if the effects weren’t so cruel. “Biological sex” means whatever you need it to mean when it comes to controlling other’s bodies. What it ain’t is some immutable construct delivered from on high, as evidenced by every time they pass one of these www.advocate.com/politics/gen...

Mayhem, violence and death — but not "corrections" | Alabama Reflector The Alabama Department of Corrections has failed to keep prisons, inmates and staff safe. It must be replaced.

My column from Monday. The Alabama Department of Corrections has failed in its basic mission. It cannot keep inmates or staff safe, and in the process threatens public safety. It needs to be replaced with a new agency with a zero-tolerance attitude prison violence, wherever it comes from.

Gender is mostly about doing bits

So far, Nate Silver and Matt Yglesias have come out against this piece which means you know with 100% certainty that Ed is correct and you should listen to what he’s saying

I don’t think you can summarize the fatal problem with modern liberalism any better than “My issue with the way people are being deported and disappeared is procedural.”

When the US began to strip trans people of rights, revert documentation, move trans women to men's prisons, censor research, and move towards healthcare bans, most cis people posted things like "the government can't tell you who you are!"

They think our biggest issue is validation, not actual harm.

whew

Improv Chattanooga gave Ram and I the most wonderful goodbye at the show last night🥹🥹 Some of the kindest and most talented people I’ve ever met, it’s an honor to call them all friends.

The difference between cis HRT and trans HRT reminds of the difference between getting an elective vasectomy vs. an elective hysterectomy. The former is met with little resistance, offered on informed consent; the latter is a last resort, met with a thousand are-you-sures or refused outright

Took me until “Senate minority leader Harry Reid” to realize that this was not written this week, but 19 YEARS ago😅😓

Spent the weekend in Chicago, and GOD it was nice being in a walkable city. Buses and trains showed up on time, the tracking app we used was easy to follow, just top to bottom a fantastic experience. Amazing how the auto lobby destroyed this kind of thing in most of the country

In the Joliet Area Historical Museum straight Reflecting it

if you are a democrat who is retreating on and abandoning trans people, you are evil and throwing all trans people under the bus won’t stop them for coming after you next

Deactivated my twitter btw. My only active socials now are here, TikTok, insta, and perhaps rednote someday😅

OK. I have decided, against all reason, to keep making things

Bold stance I know, but Emilia Perez was not very good
