I'm so so excited for this!!

- the amount of straight men I personally know who went vegan because of a woman — the women do the work.

We get the Andor of Rogue One because Bix got him there. Incredible.

ANDOR SPOILERS.

Bix’s latest scene highlights and celebrates what is true of social movements: women do the work to radicalize men. Whether the black women of the civil rights movement, or the lesbians saving the lives of gay men during the aids crisis, or, Hell —

A little May Day storytime 🥰

Ahhhh great to see you!! And…you’re right, I’m trying to find more creative ways to promote it! We do fun things there!! We have a book club comin up this summer 🥰

Togetherness is the Opposite of Fascism: My Personal Plea | Siobhán O'Loughlin Get more from Siobhán O'Loughlin on Patreon

Bringing my community in this year to read my essay’s out loud has been so rewarding.

This month I write about togetherness and gathering as a direct response to combatting fascism, and it’s beautifully narrated by Devin Burnam.

*These donations are always even more meaningful to me, because I know people are doing what they can and the gratitude feels so big.

But with seeing how little people are able to support a project ($5, $10 truly doesn't move the needle much anymore)* I'm wondering just how *expansive* our creative endeavors can be.

Do you budget to have a little bit of money to support folks when they reach out to you for these kinds of things?
I fundraise for myself pretty regularly (as you all know), because without the financial support of my community -- I just can't do the work.

In 2025, I'm running a campaign seeking $12k, and I'm predicting we'll get it from 250 people.
Those are...real different numbers.
I'm curious, for anyone who wants to engage: are you overwhelmed by artists crowdfunding and friends sending gofundmes for health care bills?

have (as it turns out) exclusively worked for queer/trans/femme-led theatre pieces raising funds for production. And I'm seeing that over time, we are reaching out to MUCH larger swaths of people for relatively low funds -- just for perspective:
In 2019, I raised $41k from 318 people.

I don't know how many of you know this: but one of my side hustles is managing crowdfunding campaigns for other indie artists.
If you're like: whoa, that sounds like intense work, let me tell you: IT IS.
And it gets more intense every year.

Any educators out there who teach live online classes in CapCut? I use it often but I’d love to pay for an official course!

I can’t beleive I just reposted Chris Hayes, but…I did.

The institutional Democratic Party is guided by an almost pathological level of conflict avoidance in almost every direction. “What can we do to make the least number of people mad?” is just a bankrupt way to operate.

YO I have this issue as well and I sadly have ALSO realized that I cannot have coffee any longer.

Black tea really isn’t cutting it 😔
But the pain of coffee is so not worth it, is it 😐

She is now a PAID national advocate for state laws prohibiting trans students from playing sports. And she doesn't even know who hit her. She probably doesn't even CARE, but hey -- she's got a whole career now and cash in the bank.

Because they LIE.

I think we're all clear on this, but just in case, I want to reaffirm with all of you: he lies. He tells blatant, and aggressive lies, and other people join him in the lies because they PROFIT.

Payton McNabb cannot prove that a trans student is the one who hit her.

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

I’m FINALLY reading Doppleganger by @naomiaklein.bsky.social and I just want to say: Naomi, it has only ever been YOU in my world. Naomi Wolf WHO? No. Klein forever, big fan since No Logo 💖💖💖💖

I’m usually never in on the IYKYK moments but as a former apprentice for B+P, thank you for this post that is both very universal and so very niche

I gave Emilia Perez an HONEST TRY, I really did. I watched the whole thing.

I rarely say this, because I like to talk about everything, but…you can skip.

Can you imagine INSISTING on talking over the music?

But also, they let him, so…

I still haven’t forgiven him for forcibly open mouth kissing Berry all those years ago.

GROSS VIBES

I’ve never seen anything like it. Like is this guy God?? The music was off but now it’s BACK ON???

I have to tell you that it was AMAZING and my first time at The Vista.

We’ll go sometime soon 🥹
