Some positive Ohio news: Cleveland Heights passed a “safe haven” law for transgender people thanks to organizing by a wonderful LGBTQ+ coalition. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Fuck, this country is so disappointing. I will never understand the people who support this dumb demagogue 🤢

I have so much heartburn about social media right now. I’m desperate for a network without Meta algorithms. 😫 Bluesky is growing but still too small to connect my communities, and Mastodon is even smaller. It’s probably time to end my $24 /month single-user experiment 🙁 and rejoin a big […]

CAVS UNDEFEATED 8-0, WE’RE CARRYING THIS WINNING ENERGY TO TOMORROW NIGHT

Wow I’d be so mad about this early darkness if I wasn’t living on San Juan time

Paper Mario and my baby Yoshi posing at a hot dog stand in front of the Glitzville arena

I played through the Paper Mario: Thousand-Year Door remake for some middle-school nostalgia, and WOW. You’d never guess this gameplay is 20 years old! It is gutsy and funny and goes to surprising places…like an RPG version of Odyssey (my highest possible praise) […]

A colorful collage of 4 great foods I’ve eaten this year: spicy kraut hot dog, sprinkled chocolate donut, hummus and falafel salad plate, tofu ranchero skillet. All vegan, all in Cleveland.

5+ years vegan and I’m happier than ever about the good food I eat and the good people who support me. Happy #WorldVeganDay!

Very cool to see LeBron back in Cleveland and living his dream of playing with his son. Even cooler to see the Cavs beat them by 24 points 😘

I’ve been laughing for 24 hours since I read the disgusting pun that David Sedaris told on his way to visiting the Vatican https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/09/09/david-sedaris-meets-pope-francis

Tyler the Creator cannot make me cry in the gym right now he cannot

#Cleveland RTA needs to make the HealthLine "rapid" again, and it has all the infrastructure to do so... It's the management that has failed, and east side riders deserve better!

In this issue of Human-Generated Content, I discuss the waves of migrations to Bluesky from X & Threads, Bluesky's latest funding round, and why #Mastodon isn't seeing a similar uptick of users.

Kamala: Pinto beans, oh of course

Kamala: oh my god, I'm in heaven

Chef: And it's just beans

@countyplanning it's a lovely newsletter!

Two cool super gay organizations have moved into #Cleveland's Gordon Square Arcade: our chamber of commerce

Yes Dear meme guy but he's wearing a Guardians hat and grinning just a little

Guardians have fried my nerves tonight but it's another home game tomorrow so

Even more poetic that Noel made it all possible 😉 His immediate strut after hitting the homer will replay in my brain forever

Crowd outside Great Lakes Brewery Company cheering at the walk off home run

#GUARDIANS!!!!!! Home field advantage and Christmas Ale tapping are just what Fry needed!!!

The funny thing about the Haslams demanding $1.2B in tax subsidies they'll never get is that even Browns fans aren't Haslams fans 🚮
