ooh yeah. I grew up in a rural town in the south in the 2000s and we had a Chinese buffet that was like 70% American food, as well as a few Mexican-American restaurants, and that's all the foreign cuisine I was exposed to until I moved to Knoxville at 19 lol.

I need to buy toiletries and pay for subway rides and a bus ride tomorrow. And a Lyft to the airport from my sister in law’s apartment too.

Please send tips

$120 would take care of all of it. $100 might be okay but also getting rides is expensive and $120 would be better

I feel like the last couple decades of "is representation good or not?" discourse missed more important questions of "how fragile is representation?", "what do we do when multiple industries eliminate it as an intentional move against us?" and "how can we sustain queer artists when shit goes south?"

Give us our roses while we're still alive.

Patton Oswalt is, as ever, a gem. Bill Maher is like the brown note of TV personalities. He's also too stupid to believe in germ theory, and if I can be a bit petty, he's an ugly little bitch to boot.

"I think I'll take it easy" he lied

this seems great. Susie Green is at the helm it looks like, she used to be the CEO of Mermaids (UK trans charity/advocacy group) and I interviewed her for Slate many many many years ago and she is, frankly, sublimely kind.

The Washington Post, everyone!

I love girls thank you

makes me think of people who are like, "how can you be poor if you own a smart phone." just refusing to understand or acknowledge reality or necessity or complicated situations in any capacity. it's the mindset of a child whose brain has not fully developed its sense of empathy.

I mean that made me fucking ugly cry man

weirdly crushed by the ending of 11.22.63, which I have just watched almost 10 years late

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered public schools in Texas to remove displays of the Ten Commandments in their classrooms.

I quit the former Twitter two years ago this week, and I am here to tell you that my online life got a lot better for having left it. In two years I've not been tempted to go back, and I haven't felt any penalty in either career or community for not being there. It's nice to be here and not there.

i find it so off-putting when you watch journalists interviewing politicians and you can tell they’re friendly, all in a big club that doesn’t serve the public’s interests. access journalism is the opposite of accountability journalism.

@ZohranKMamdani X.com I look forward to working with Commissioner Jessica Tisch to deliver genuine public safety in New York City. Together, we will deliver a city where rank-and-file police officers and the communities they serve alike are safe, represented, and proud to call New York their home.

This horrible woman is a genocidal Zionist who used the NYPD to go after protesters.

This is extremely fucked up. Everyone who voted for this man needs to stand up and demand that this shit doesn’t stand.

Mamdani - the next AOC if no one holds him accountable due to his celebrity status.

THIS IS SO TRUEEEE

Does the Pope Sit With the Dolls? — Assigned He’s the freakin’ pope, and apparently he doesn’t feel like sharing a table with his trans guests.

Does this pope actually care about trans people? Does it even matter if he does?

Opinion | Jamal Khashoggi: What the Arab world needs most is free expression The Arab world needs a modern version of the old transnational media so citizens can be informed about global events.

I will never forget having to edit Jamal’s final, posthumous piece for the Washington Post, after he was murdered.

He was calling for free expression in the Arab world. You can read it here :
