The Patriots in the Park MAGA takeover of Disneyland was more of a covert infiltration

Between all the rainbow-coded clothes and trans women, you’d see two men on scooters in blue shirts:

[quietly] “Nice shirt”
[equally quietly] “Hell yeah brother”

A few small red-hat enclaves, here and there

This is it. Way past time for everyone in this country - literally everyone - to find practical ways to support trans people and immigrants, this regime's primary targets.

Starting right now, find something practical to do to actually help people.

As the secretary of my committee, this offends me.

As one of 3 men on that committee, and one of 2 men that actually show up to committee meetings, this

uh

nevermind

Made the mistake of watching one (1) video analysis of WEAPONS on YouTube and now The Algorithm believes I *only* want to watch video analyses of WEAPONS

The joke’s on all of us, it’s just the Shinji Ikari Raising Project

My 11yo, intently reading a 60yo comic and studying the art. In a museum. Fantastic experience.

Wait, this is still at the Skirball?!

GO TO THIS EXHIBIT, like, no kidding it is one of the coolest comics exhibits I’ve been to. I was worried our kid would be bored, then we realized we’d lost him in an earlier room. He was poring over the COMPLETE ISSUE OF INKED X-MEN they had on one wall

Bro I’d rather ride the waters of Windwaker than return to any real world place I’ve visited

These are so so so good!!

Pronounced how you’d think, “Morb three us”

Morb3us

Seriously. I was so rabidly anti-piracy for so long and these corporations have fully converted me

Snoopy and I clearly have different kinks

My driver’s ed teacher told us that in America we put our hands at 10 & 2, and in China & Japan they put them at 8 & 4—a “they’re upside down on the other side of world joke” that he immediately said was a joke—and 30 yrs later I still believe him. I know it’s not true but it just lives in my brain

That or “Smells Like Nirvana,” whose music video I remember as vividly as Nirvana’s original

Although I do spend a lot of time walking around the house singing “Have a banana, have a whole bunch, it doesn’t matter what you had for lunch.” Genuinely next-level lyrics.

Dearest Amazon,
What the fuck do you *mean* I’M IN LOVE WITH THE VILLAINESS vol 2 ships in 2-3 days and doesn’t arrive until May or June?

Like what even is the point of you?!

Sincerely yours,

What’s a comic you’ve read recently that made you go “Wow”?

My Dear Lass by Tracy Hu

Literally every moment is breathtaking

I loved WUTHERING HEIGHTS when I read it (lo these 25 years ago) because it answers the question, “What if Nora Robert’s was ghost written by Jim Thompson 200 years ago”

A passionate romance whose central thesis is “Sure there’s a hell, kid, and you don’t have to dig for it”

“Forgive them father for they know not what they do, Jesus said, and then added, except this guy Nick Fuentes in about 2000 years. It’s totally okay to wish harm on him.”

Snoop Dogg?
Cameron Diaz?
or the trombonist from Reel Big Fish?

YOU DECIDE

I don't know if it's really clear, outside of coverage of Mpls and pockets of organizing elsewhere, that hundreds of thousands of people are actively and at every level of society fighting our government as it abducts and imprisons and torments our neighbors.

Folks, I’m 44.

One of my former students, in an email: You’ve witnessed so much.

Me: [collapses into a pile of dust, slowly dispersing in the breeze]

I was treated like the “dumb one” in my friend group because they were all good at math & science, and I was good at reading—because anyone can read, I guess—and I’ve never quite gotten past that

Dang, I am realizing that I have just not been seeing your Bluesky posts for … years? So I apologize for an out of nowhere post-liking spree. I’ve missed your reviews!

Oh, they don’t pretend. They outright tell me when they don’t like things. These kids hold nothing back, and good for them.

I couldn’t decide between the older SHE SAID DESTROY, which is more relevant to a short fiction class, and the newer ISSUES WITH AUTHORITY, which is probably more relevant financially… so I just assigned both HA HA HA HA HA

Rereading @nadiabulkin.bsky.social ‘s SHE SAID DESTROY because I assigned it in my creative writing fiction class (which I don’t get to teach often), and my god it is a work of beauty. Each story is flawless, heartbreaking, unnerving, politically razor-sharp

The students are loving it, of course
