There will be a movie on Tubi with this as a plot device within the month.

This is action EVERY city in the country can take. If your hotels cooperate with ICE, goodbye liquor revenue.

…. I will never forgive Reagan for the Aids crisis. Never ever ever.

Because if he hadn’t systemically killed off so many of our queer and sex worker elders

We could have had a society where folks worked this shit out in a club or mattress instead of using tech to fulfill their kinks

Defeating the Evil Among Us Only a radical Americanism that fulfills the vision of Jefferson and Lincoln can see us through this dark chapter

“We need leaders who are genuinely committed to a progressive future that includes breaking the oligarchy, holding the criminal elite accountable and pursuing policies that celebrate diversity and expand equality.

“That means pursuing radical Americanism.”

Wow that’s disgusting.

Fetuses, however…

True, especially in the conservative Christian community. In the last year two books made a big enough splash that I heard about them well outside that community—The Sin of Empathy by Joe Rigney and Toxic empathy by Allie Beth Stuckey.

What is obvious to me is that a lot of people deeply care about their neighbors and this country.

They didn't think we would. We do.

Clearly You People Thought I Was Kidding Well, who’s laughing now? And now, an actual phone call: Me (to Krissy): So, would you mind if I tape bacon to the cat? Krissy: That’s a fairly interesting question. What’s the pu…

I grew up with Alex Pretti The kind-hearted ICU nurse shot by ICE agents was my childhood best friend.

I wrote about my childhood friend Alexi Pretti. Please read it and share it and remember him as a human being. @theverge.com

I’m proud to have him as my senator.

Good. We hate you. Everyone hates you. Even you hate yourselves.

one of the reasons everybody hates late arrivals from the right or even the center is they're all weepy little idiots who want to be coddled and forgiven and make it everybody else's problem. shut up, figure out how to help fix what you broke, and stop writing thinkpieces

I am just gonna say it, these guys are completely emasculated by the knowledge that they have been out-organized by a group that is significantly made up of women, and all the bullshit call of duty nonsense is cope for their wounded egos bsky.app/profile/jeet...

Backtracking after backlash means backlash works. Also, saying didn't know what you're doing means you shouldn't be in Congress.

Fancy a Jelly Baby?

To get a tenure track job with degree in hand AND publisher interest in your dissertation.

At first I’m thinking maybe a typo and it was 1989, but he is a year younger than me and I finished undergrad at 22 in 1988 so…

It’s probably the era of his life where he actually was the most useful to fellow humans.

Also reading his Wikipedia entry and he was on tenure track at his college in 1994 but didn’t finish his diss til 1999?? I was in grad school in the 90s and it was already hard AF

I think it was more that he was so full of himself and was so identified with being the hot/cool professor. He literally wrote the college’s policy against profs dating students while continuing to do so himself!
But I do take your point.

And my former roommate and her outburst. RIP Janet.

Bought it, read it cover to cover that night, and just kept feeling a mental CLICK! CLICK! CLICK! with every page. I was like, “Yup bisexuality is real and I’m one!” It was an amazing moment and feeling. Thanks forever to Charis Bookstore, the publishers and writers in this book,

But straight people don’t read the gay newspaper all the time or know about all these controversies!

And that was rattling around in my head when I went to the feminist bookstore for a browse later that week. I asked if they had any books on bisexuality and this was the ONE! On the shelf.

I found it because I was a faithful reader of the local gay newspaper and I was ranting about some gross unfair treatment of someone to my straight friend/housemate and she said “Jesus when are you just gonna come out as lesbian? You say you are straight

I identified as “straight but not narrow” because I had dated and genuinely enjoyed sex with guys, but had also fooled around with women. I was informed by lesbian friends that bi isn’t real, it’s just gay in denial or a straight person with a fetish. The anthology argued forcefully otherwise.

Bi Any Other Name - Wikipedia

The book that changed my life, published in 1991.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi_Any_...

I remember the gleeful reaction when someone found out he worked at a grocery store after he left the college where he taught in a cloud of multiple scandals. Trash. bag.

Oh I remember that guy. Complete trash bag of a person. Looks like he writes for the Federalist now LOL.

I came out as bi in 1992. We had a local org called BiNet.

A perfect illustration of what I saw someone else saying—the administration is activating all the “I’m not into politics” people who mostly ignore national and world affairs and usually don’t even vote, and it is going to be their downfall.

baking…I’ve read several of your books and liked them all, but it’s my fave to date and I recommend it all the time.
