The three genders

Been offline for the most part since starting the whole cancer journey 6 months ago.

Today, I’ve got clear scans, clear bloodwork, and to quote my oncologist this morning,

“It’s over, it’s done, things couldn’t possibly look better.”

mucho, mucho joy. kick rocks, cancer.

Folds: If we’ve been told our whole lives that we can’t spend money on the arts because they’re not important—then why was taking over the Kennedy Center and the arts the first thing they did?

It is extremely important. It’s the bedrock of self-expression.

Feeling joy despite The Horrors? Problematic tbh.

The image features a vibrant bouquet of various flowers, including red, purple, blue, yellow, and orange blooms, with green leaves and stems. The flowers are densely packed, creating a colorful and lively arrangement against a black background. Overlapping the floral design is bold white text that reads: "I WISH FOR YOU WHAT YOU WISH FOR IMMIGRANTS" The text is prominent and stands out clearly against the colorful backdrop. At the bottom, the word "TRANSPAINTER" appears, likely indicating the artist or creator of the image.

America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home.

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.

Fox Mulder from X-Files saying “Hey, you got to stay alive if you want to stick it to the government”

“If you die, you let them off the hook.”

Needed this reminder today.

If I didn’t have good insurance, I wouldn’t have gotten a colonoscopy, and wouldn’t have found my cancer until it was way too late.

I would have died.

This isn’t hypothetical. People are going to die without Medicaid and Medicare. It’s eugenics, plain and simple.

all this time spent wondering what caused it and I forgot about the >1 hot dogs I eat every day 😕

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

raise your hand if you're not in NYC but you're following the mayoral election out of a desperate need to believe that good things are possible

7 years with the best dog in the world!

"i asked chatgpt" yeah well i went to the doctor, i went to the mountains, i looked to the children, i drank from the fountains there's more than one answer to these questions pointing me in a crooked line and the less I seek my source for some definitive closer I am to fine

If you're interested in the security of agentic systems, you're not going to want to miss this talk. @beccalunch.bsky.social will present NVIDIA AI Red Team findings in real world agentic systems, and I'll talk about how the AI Security team helps mitigate them.

your regular reminder that buying Harry Potter stuff gives money to Rowling and she uses that money directly and in large quantities to fund attacks on trans people

no ethical consumption under capitalism and all but “don’t buy Potter stuff” is an extremely easy baseline to follow

are we great yet

People forget that Cancer (the disease) donated like $300,000 to the Trump inauguration fund

I’m so sorry. Sending you love. DM me if you need someone to talk to.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that Alabama cannot prosecute people for helping others travel across state lines to access abortion care.

This is a win for our freedom of speech and our right to travel freely.

This is so blatantly illegal. If Musk isn’t prosecuted for this, we might as well throw out democracy and turn it over to our billionaire lords and landed gentry. It’s over.

Cory Booker Just Gave The Longest Speech In The History of The US Senate Only two men have spoken on the floor of the U.S. Senate...

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”

A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.

I have been watching @booker.senate.gov speak today, in between meetings, and it's nice to see some good history happening for once

Would love to see @padilla.senate.gov or @schiff.senate.gov hold it down next

Me and a buddy after we dig up Strom Thurmond’s desiccated corpse and force him to watch a Black man break his Senate speech record:

Less than 3 hours until Booker breaks the record for the longest filibuster ever, held by Strom Thurmond who filibustered AGAINST the Civil Rights Act. This rocks.

Counterpoint: get fucking huge. Lift heavy. Be scary.
