My brain is now attempting to filk Safety Dance with this, and I cannot get it to stop. πŸ˜…

🎢We can f*ck if you want to
Since it's our monthly time
Cause our parents f*cked
And if we don't f*ck
Well it won't be baby time🎢

Etc, with the bridge of course being "Baby dance" instead of "Safety dance" 🀦

A recent Atlantic column claimed society is allegedly "transing" effeminate boys. For my @xtramagazine.com column this month, I wrote a rebuttal using my own experience as a young, closeted trans girl. xtramagazine.com/power/identi...

Several months later, Mr. Epstein emailed Dr. Dubin with an urgent problem: He and the Russian student were flying to New York from his private island in the U.S. Virgin Islands. She had fallen off an A.T.V., Mr. Epstein wrote, leaving a large gash across her forehead that needed attention. β€œCan you organize thanks,” he wrote.

Dr. Dubin responded that one of Mount Sinai’s plastic surgeons, Dr. Jess Ting, was β€œstanding by” and added that she herself would join them. The next day, Mr. Epstein recounted to an assistant that Dr. Ting had given the woman 35 stitches while she was β€œlaid out on the dinng room table.”

I'm no fancy political consultant, but, hey, if you're in Dem comms, you should notice that Fox News panicked over Trump wearing a cheap Trump merch baseball cap to receive the bodies of soldiers he got killed for no reason he can articulate, and you should absolutely lean into that.

USUALLY presidents getting blame or taking credit for gas prices (or local crime rates, or etc etc) is dumb, because it’s a commodity whose price is set on a global market, USUALLY for reasons having little to do with the White House’s occupant. But this is 100% directly Trump’s fault.

I believe it was @golikehellmachine.com who first observed here that if he ever had his shirt off in front of a tattooist while getting his other work done, they would have noticed his Nazi tattoo & engaged him forcefully on the question of why he had it, & whether he wanted to be rid of it
