we started Starfleet Academy last night and I’m obsessed with Jay’Den the sensitive Klingon who likes birdwatching and wants to be a doctor, I will even forgive the corny ass name as long as he remains sweet and shy

3 ICE agents got McDonald’s and then went on a joy ride through the neighborhood tonight around 1 AM. This has nothing to do with public safety and is all about terrorizing people and burning through taxpayer dollars. This is why we can’t rest until every last agent leaves our state.

every Tuesday morning on the way to his standing doctor’s appointment, @theisb.bsky.social points out “there’s the Speedway where Greg Bovino got yelled at” and I feel great hometown pride

Can't make it tomorrow morning? Send an email now: bit.ly/pauseevictions

I can’t pay off my loans from freshman year of college, they’ve been with me my whole adult life, that’s my emotional support debt

Interest Rate 5.600% 5.600% 4.500% 6.800% 6.800% 3.400% 3.860% 3.860% 3.860% 3.860% 4.660% 4.660% 6.080% 6.080% 4.300%

I started undergrad in 2009 and started grad school in 2019 and it’s so cute how you can see not one but two economic crashes reflected in my student loan interest rates, I love being an American millennial

literally same

Coffee Cup, a black and white pit bull looking like he’s wearing a tuxedo with big ol ears that can pick up radio signals

he’s a brave little toaster

three kitten siblings exist in the same space on a dining room chair like a less menacing Cerberus

POV: you just crossed the River Styx into the underworld

oh thank god it’s march

is the pokemon company paying you for the use of your likeness??

everything is gender

recognizing the other legal-interfacing social workers at the hennepin county courthouse by our cultural signifiers (jeans, offbeat glasses, hand tattoos, large overstuffed bag, mildly disrespectful and rebellious attitude)

it’s just so NICE to not have to worry about any of it!!

congratulations, you’re clearly doing many things right

There's an German military term for this, Schwerpunkt (lit., "the tip of the spear"). It refers to attacking a very narrow part of the enemy front to break through and widen the attack rapidly from there.

Human decency is the enemy front, and trans rights are where they are pointing the spear.

horrible!!!

IUD insertion was one of the most painful experiences of my life but not having to think about birth control until I’m 40??? insanely worth a half hour of intense cramping a couple years ago

kat no

getting a Mirena IUD is the second best decision I’ve ever made wrt to my reproductive health

my abortion continues to rank number one, obvi, but my Mirena fuckin rules

The patriarchy was never going to be satisfied with tormenting trans people, they have always been coming for everyone who exists outside the narrow confines of some guy’s fetish of what womanhood should be

CW: transphobia.

See, this is why it can be painful to know too much history.🫤

This post implies that what is happening in Kansas is *similar* to what the nazis did.

But it's not just similar. It's *identical*.

In 1933, nazis revoked trans people's documents. Before 1938.

Paragraph 175 and 183.

Every New York Times column & Atlantic thinkpiece, every Guardian broadside led us here. Jesse Singal and Ben Ryan and all the others "just asking questions" led us here.

Every bit of coverage that's treated us as suspicious outsiders and punching bags helped speed this day.

You are responsible.

spent like ten minutes of my lunch break going down the Pete Hegseth Fake Bench Press rabbit hole and like, man i don’t even know

Crowd-sourced data gives us a lens into how big the ICE surge was in MN compared to other places, visualized today in the Minnesota @startribune.com
