@janeespenson.bsky.social shrieking HELLO at me is actually my DREAM Zoom call.

Trans pride flag flying on a pole with a quote overlay advocating for inclusive feminism, stating exclusion of trans people aligns with patriarchy, attributed to @elcronk and shared by The Left Bible.

JK, are you listening? Oh, that’s right, you never do any more.

Get in, loser, we're defeating death and sin

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.

I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.

Remind you of anyone?

And I am an ally. If you are too, let the world know.

I personally will continue to use "Gulf of Mexico" because our president is a wrathful felonious nincompoop with the intellect of paramecium and I do not consent to his cartographic buffoonery

Opinion | Trump’s War on D.E.I. Is Really a War on Civil Rights The genius of the right-wing crusade against D.E.I. is that the term is amorphous enough that it can mean many different things to many different people.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation."

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness.” -Isaiah 5:20

Introduce yourself with four movies

I am going to make a donation to the Episcopal Diocese of Washington (DC). On the reminder line of the check, I think I'll just write, Atta girl! Or do you think I need to include a note thanking the bishop?

So many have not learned them at all.

The "he's not gonna listen to her" reactions are missing many points. Lots of other people are also hearing it. Lots of people can see him hearing it, then weigh what she's said with what he'll do. Lots of people can see her refusal to surrender these ancient teachings to the latest face of empire

Find joy where you can, show support for people on the margins where you can, and let’s help each other through, that is what I am saying.

The Amy Sherald exhibit at SF MOMA is what I needed yesterday!

It’s so amazing! We loved it

Post from @whenemfellinluv says "how today felt" below is a picture of a notebook entry with the date January 20th, 2025 that reads "what the fuck was this."

Same.

Things I am mad about today. Strike on the box matches that don't light because the striker strip wears out. Safeway Digital Deals that don't work when I get to the cashier. And Nazis. I am mad about Nazis today.
