I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

"They hate to see two woke bitches winning."

A very emo looking ICE agent.

Was this very mid-2000s emo person press-ganged into ICE servitude?

Roz Kaveney @rozkaveney.bsky.social Might we tactfully point out that to obsess negatively with trans people when the richest and most powerful men in the world are trying to reverse centuries of humane progress and equality to acquire impunity for rape and murder shows a weird sense of priorities? 501 Roz Kaveney @rozkaveney.bsky.soc... • 2h When it becomes clear that those same rich and powerful men are exploiting your anti-trans crusade as a diversion from the exposure of their crimes, a dodgy sense of priorities becomes a criminal level of complicity.

I always found those who said they were pleased by Trump’s position on trans rights a bit conflicted when they also said their anti trans position was about defending women

The reason why every accusation is a confession with republicans is because empathy requires imagination, and the fact that they have no empathy stems from their inability to conjure up original ideas. You have to be able to imagine a person and put yourself in their shoes to have empathy.

Leaders who won’t pursue justice can’t lead me where I’m going.

An Elegy for My Neighbor, Renee Nicole Good Fellow poet Danez Smith memorializes the Minneapolis mother's call to witness

"An Elegy for My Neighbor, Renee Nicole Good" - by Danez Smith

"Neighbor, you should have made it home to your child, to the bright warmth of his laughter, but our country is at war with its people, and your goodness makes you an enemy, a citizen insurgent."

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

Gavin Newsom is Mitt Romney for the Democrats, a department store mannequin who will lose in a general election

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Despite @aftynbehn.bsky.social generating real excitement with an authentic progressive anti-corruption message and getting closer than anyone in #TN7, *experts* are already dropping predictable “a centrist would’ve done better” takes - as though that hasn’t been tried here many times.

The amount of rage I am feeling at opining on TN-7 cannot be quantified

“TN is a waste of time and resources but I hope she wins” FUCK YOOOOOOOOU

TN-6 and TN-7 splits literally inside a building. Only +R areas have extended polling hours. ALL WE NEED ARE TIME AND RESOURCES FUCK YOOOOU

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

This video isn't doing too hot in the algorithm, probably cause I took too long to make it, but the response has been nearly universally positive and very much so! I'm so glad that those of you who watched it seem to like it as much and as vocally as you do! <3 <3 It means the world

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.

We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Trump in a room with a very charismatic person results in like half a day of Trump agreeing with everything that person said, so this has the potential to be very, very funny.

I mean this from the bottom of my heart…if it's textable…do not call me

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning."

I chose Larry Summers.

Better late than never.

Unlocked version of my 16-year-old article below.

I knew her church was bad. I grew up in it. Two weeks ago I learned it was also the church Charlie Kirk attended. She was always so accepting of me, but I was just autistic and weird/goth, not trans. I thought she maybe come around, but this seems unlikely. Im just really sad today. I miss my mom.

Today is my mom‘a birthday. Last time I saw her, she spent the entire trip misgendering my trans kid while sharing over and over how much she loves her car and its maker. I told her how much it hurt me, she told me she was sorry I was offended. We haven’t spoken much since.

"Are there even any-" it doesn't matter. Banning the few trans athletes isn't the point. The point, from Trump's ban on trans people in government to Britain's bathroom ban to Newsom's sports ban, is to make sure everyone knows trans women are OTHER and to act accordingly to us in their daily lives.

Trump is 30 points underwater. Dems swept the special elections. People know the GOP is responsible for the shutdown. So the Dem Senators pulled out their big guns... and shot themselves in the foot.

chuck schumer would be the stupid guy in zombie movies that gets bitten and tries to hide it from the rest of the group.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.
