Oof, that last line...

Shorter Maya: other ways of living are failed attempts at the correct one: mine.

Love that his office spelled it that way 3 separate times in the press release

"Gulf of America" is a distraction.

"Trump Kennedy Center" is a distraction.

That ridiculous ballroom is a distraction.

Attacking Iran isn't.

They're fascists. War is part of the project.

Nothing. I cannot even begin to imagine what you might possibly be talking about.

Seriously: discretionary spending for the next couple of months will be eaten up by a four-hour hair appointment next week, and the... other thing... I'm going to see someone about in an hour.

"We have to side with our country during wartime!"

Actually no, we don't. That's just government imperialist propaganda.

Planted our flag. These colors don't run!

That feeling when your friend gets you...

I hope we get to be part of them!💜

the worlds not over
keep taking your meds
keep taking your HRT
keep scheduling surgeries
keep talking to friends
keep eating
keep sleeping
the worlds not over
you're still needed

yeah, paragraph 2 (raises hand discreetly so Scarlett doesn't notice)

Two years ago. They'd flown me out and I was in a hotel room, ready to head over and meet the team.

And after over a year, an enormous spreadsheet of applications, and three or four second-place finishes, it worked out.

And it's still working out. Love my new job, love my new home.

As long as I live, I will never understand the utter lack of concern - even utter contemt - for other human beings simply because of the place they were born or the way they express their humanity.

That makes more sense!

For me, it was Autobahn, when I was about 12.

It's a great piece of music (and I saw an amazing JMJ concert a few years ago) but it hardly started it all.

The oldest electronic music I have in my Great Big Archive of Interesting Noise is thereminist Clara Rockmore, from the 1930s.

And Wendy Carlos would also like a word.

*waves electronically*

Really, deeply pissed off by "it's a disraction"

Triceratops? What the fuck?

Got some mail from Brookfield Zoo and - wait a minute, what?

I'd have thought they'd make a bigger deal of this

Kitty is also happy!

You're a trans woman, sister.

You deserve the world.

If you're willing to turn a blind eye to this because of how trans women in sports is polling or whatever, then you're just as craven and inhuman as the Republicans who are taking joy in it.

This is the point I always make, that Democrats seem to refuse to understand: A candidate who tacks right on an issue of high voting importance to me is declaring they do not want my vote and they believe they'll win more votes to make up for losing mine.

gorton and denton by-election result: she gets 706 votes, 1.9% of the total

underappreciated but very funny gorton and denton sideplot: the conservatives nominating literal sex matters (uk terf group) trustee charlotte cadden, only for her to get the worst result for the conservatives in by-election history and lose her deposit
