A professor was lecturing to his English class: β€œIn English, a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, a double negative is still a negative. However, there's no language where in a double positive can form a negative.”

A voice from the back of the room piped up, β€œYeah, right.”

2025 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From! This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

The Bloom’s Not Off: Jack Rose in Remembrance and Retrospect Gone far too soon from this world, the reissues of Jack Rose’s body of work provide an opportunity for some of the genius guitarist's friends and collaborators to remember him fondly.

Was just now reminded that fifteen years ago #JackRose left this world far too soon. What a treasure of a performer, what a solid guy by all accounts. @marcissist.bsky.social's old piece from 2016 here, quoting many peers and friends with their memories.

This’ll inevitably be on a bunch of β€˜best β€˜24 records you haven’t heard’ lists, so might as well get in on the ground floor now. Bonus if you get the Guy + Jerry sticker

I am a pharmacist, prescriptions I will fill you
Potions, pills and medicines to ease your painful lives
I am a lost soul, I shoot myself with rock and roll
The hole I dig is bottomless but nothing else can set me free
