“I don’t remember when Shakespeare plays were drag shows,” someone just commented, and I had to look at their other posts to see if they were in earnest.

They were.

I can't do this.

I am barely present here.

Hell YES.

My legal name doesn't match my birth certificate because I was adopted. There are so many reasons why people change their names and absolutely no reason why that should endanger your personhood, citizenship, or right to vote.

Today, we remember the 14 women murdered on December 6, 1989, in the Montreal Massacre at École Polytechnique. Their lives were stolen by misogyny, but their names and stories remain with us.

They will never be forgotten.

Don't stop talking about Palestine!

How could Donald Trump do this?

I think you are using the wrong special set of skills.

So when do I post my nude photos?

I bet a super fun thing is to devote your life to civil service for years or decades and then wake up to death threats from total strangers because a billionaire twat with no particular experience outside being a billionaire twat read your job title and thought "That sounds dumb"

That's why there's an aggressive effort now to blame "identity politics," it's a retcon because Harris ran exactly the campaign centrists wanted, catering to conservatives, never criticizing Netanyahu, never blaming billionaires or big corporations, the works—just to lose to Old Man Yells at Cloud.

All three branches of government are now controlled by a rapist who campaigned on purging the country of nonwhite immigrants and driving trans people out of public life, supported by a Nazi billionaire, I think maybe you can ease off the Has Woke Gone Too Far beat for a while

Haven't figured out my Bluesky persona yet.

Says a lot about this culture that "hold hands and sing kumbaya" has become an idiom to call someone naïve or idealistic, when the song itself is a literal cry for divine intervention in the face of the increasing certainty that nothing else will bring about the change the singer desperately needs.

Ok, what do I do here?

I really don't know what to do on here.

I rarely post here

It's frustrating that I had some very interesting people following me on twitter who fled here and now I'm going to have to get them to follow me all over again.

@olchefdan.bsky.social Which Proust translation would you recommend?

Is is there anyone here for god's sakes?

Weyland-Yutani Employee: (on phone with mom) The new job is going pretty good! Today we’re moving a spaceship full of giant quivering eggs

CNN just said some of the Palestinians being released in the hostage deal are "young men under 18." Feels like there might be another word for that.

I need a job.

[hearing that someone has died]
oh no that guy hated dying
