‘We Will Beat These Monsters’: Lindsey Boylan Reacts to Cuomo’s Defeat The former Cuomo aide was the first of eleven women to publicly denounce the disgraced governor for sexual harassment.

“I hope every woman who has ever faced an abuser like Cuomo knows she doesn’t have to be ashamed, she doesn’t have to hide. Because we will beat these monsters. New Yorkers said “no more” to Andrew Cuomo, and that is just remarkable.” indypendent.org/2025/07/we-w...

As many have pointed out, Mamdani didn't stand apart from our trans brothers and sisters. He didn't play the "Gee, gosh, it sure is complicated," milquetoast moderate card. And he crushed.

The way forward is together, not over the bodies of our own.

The Democratic Party Needs to Learn from Zohran Mamdani's Guts and Backbone Zohran Mamdani did something different, and it made all the difference.

I am no longer employed so I'm not blogging Zohran tonight but I can just repeat exactly what I said in June :-)

he won on the back of a pro-migrant, pro-trans, pro-working class campaign. and also: Dem pundits are full of shit

This is a good reminder.

i was able to speak to tomino once but i completely blanked for questions so i just asked which of his characters is his fav and he said he couldn't possibly choose because it'd be like choosing one's favourite..... lover. so technically a waste of a question but it was so funny that im not mad...

Donate to Help Laid-Off Teen Vogue Staffers Recover, organized by Lexi McMenamin More than half the team at Teen Vogue was laid off this week by our parent co… Lexi McMenamin needs your support for Help Laid-Off Teen Vogue Staffers Recover

thank you for the outpouring of support!

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

“Godzilla is the longest-running movie franchise in the world. Today, Godzilla is respected the world around, but the truth is that these movies were appreciated in silence for many years. It wasn't cool to be a fan of Godzilla. Well, I was not cool-but that was fine with me. You now hold in your hands a comprehensive history of Japan's King of the Monsters, authoritatively written by two genre his-torians. This is, of course, a well-deserved tribute to a cinematic monster of unparalleled influence. In 2024, Godzilla Minus One received an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects. Fi-nally, in my lifetime, the big guy is getting the respect and admiration and ovations he is due. I'm a happy man.”

John Carpenter is a big fan of Godzilla and wrote a lovely foreword for the book "Godzilla: The First 70 Years." Here’s an excerpt.

Now its AFTER Halloween...and guess what...the marker Schooly used on Shelly's behind wasn't water soluble... 🎃👀

FOR THE NEXT 36 HOURS ONLY:
I will do a 5000 word story for $100.

thanks to everyone who signed up for this. I'm not looking at numbers really ("more than ten? success!") and I don't want to do a paid newsletter. I'd just like the gentle pressure of writing for an audience at my own speed, because I think I'd missed it while doing other stuff.
I just like writing.

Holocaust Researcher Says Up to 1/3 of Imprisoned LGBTQ+ People Reported by Friends and Family A new exhibit at the Illinois Holocaust Museum and Education Center aims to shed light on the diversity of LGBTQ+ Holocaust stories.

Someday I'll have more to say, but for now it suffices that no queer person alive will be surprised by this.

Comic Retailer Charged with Felony For Allegedly Giving Away Comic at Halloween Event

A North Carolina comics retailer was charged with a felony after allegedly giving a comic marked "not for children" to a minor at a Halloween event hosted by local cops.

Ugh. It's a bullshit charge, of course, but we have to be smart. We're being watched. Every one of us.

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

Hey friends! I have a bunch of doctor appointments coming up (which I gotta pay for out of pocket), so if you'd been thinking of leaving me a tip or becoming a monthly paid subscriber to my podcast, now would be a great time to do so!!

Hope the medical situation went well.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Happy Birthday to Osamu Tezuka, who was born on this day on November 3, 1928! He would have been 97 years old.
