I loved this conversation with the wonderful @tobiascarroll.bsky.social , which FYI was held at the Algonquin Hotel! It was v classy and you had to ring a little light up bell to order a drink.

For no particular reason, I am reminded of how trans man Michael Dillon gave his trans woman girlfriend Roberta Cowell an orchiectomy on his kitchen table in the 1950s.

Something the Skrmetti decision drives home: "Puberty blockers" should be abandoned as a goal; the goal should be HRT for any minor that wants it; puberty blockers should be a tool for minors who choose themselves they need more time to decide and *nothing else*.

when cell phones were first invented digimon otis called them "the poor man's bandai wonderswan". clearly he was wrong to have said this .

dolls to watch out for

Feeling so much love for gay ppl right now, like, as shit gets worse and worse everything just crystallizes the recognition that the trannies, sex workers, faggots and perverts have worked to make life so beautiful, so worth living, so joyous that I literally don't believe we can lose

oh wow

First review of the SH week is One Of Those: in-depth, critical, footnoted. Make time for @richmondbridge.bsky.social on Pistelli’s Major Arcana. “[It] narrates and exhibits the intergenerational tensions stemming from how some countercultural intellectuals … view young people’s further struggles.”
