I really thought that after most of a year passed and after the initial excitement faded I wouldn’t love Agatha All Along as much. Turns out it is still EXACTLY my jam.

The only silver lining of overwhelming grief and unrelated medical crisis happening at the same time is that I’ve spent a few days paying no attention to the news. It… is not a pleasant return.

Said goodbye to my marvelous, silly, anxious, loving, gorgeous, sweet Flicka yesterday. I will love my best girl forever.

I desperately need to get some fuel back in my tank, so my mode for today is being in search of queer joy.

Watching the Tonys gave me so much joy that I’ve been in desperate need of, but I also spent every commercial break looking at updates about the Madleen being boarded and reading about the fighting in LA. It’s a hard fucking time.

In most series of Taskmaster it's really clear who the most unhinged contestant is, but this time... it's all of them. Some of them (Jason, Fatiha) are very upfront about it, but when the others, especially Rosie, get weird they get WEIRD.

@mckelvie.bsky.social Wait, in the UK is it pronounced the way I spelled it out or is it “ay dee haitch dee”? This question has never occurred to me before.

I don’t get too parasocial about celebrities, especially not to the level of wanting any kind of interaction… except when they’re talking about behaviors that are so obviously ADHD and they haven’t figured it out yet.

The new Kate Nash is a lot of information to listen to in a song, but I’m into GERM (girl, exclusionary, regressive, misogynist) as an acronym and the vibes are excellent! More cis celebrities calling out the misogyny of anti-trans bullshit, please!

Remembering Chevalière d'Éon for Pride. A transgender woman in the 1700s who was also a spy and who turned double agent, extorted an entire monarchy to get her gender marker changed, and lived her life as a woman in a time when such was thought impossible. We have always been here.

A raven couple has moved into my neighborhood and has taken to hanging out in one of our backyard trees. I’m delighted, the crows are furious, and the owls mostly seem annoyed that the harrying wakes them up during the day.

Now is the time for a progressive gubernatorial candidate to start making themselves seen in California. Our election is next year and realistically we need known quantities if the state is going to vote for them.

Wild how many victims in Agatha Christie novels have ADHD symptoms. Lots of destroyed kettles because they forgot to turn off the heat and easily distracted people who can’t stop babbling about their interests and papers found posthumously because they were always losing things. It’s a lot of fun!

I feel like most of my followers know this but because I see a lot of cis folks who have a specific blind spot for it: This includes the theme park. I don't care if you want Butterbeer or want to get a wand or are already there so why not just walk in. It's all Her. Everything with the name is Her.

I’m so here for this era of deeply local, weird Oakland film and TV! Freaky Tales, Sorry to Bother You, I’m a Virgo, Blindspotting… It’s such a good time for these!

I don’t have an internal monologue, but I do have internal musical theater accompaniment. This morning when I discovered the empty coffee pot my brain turned into Bud Frump yelling “no coffeeeee” and then played me the entirety of “Coffee Break” from the 2011 revival of How to Succeed.

🚨 In addition to banning gender affirming medical treatment through Medicaid, Trump's reconciliation bill PROHIBITS health insurance purchased through Obamacare exchanges from offering transition care. Detransition care, though, is specifically protected. CALL YOUR HOUSE REPS!

Cis Americans, if you do one single thing today please let it be to contact your representative. You have no idea how many US trans people I follow who are freaked the fuck out And for everyone else, if America does it, your country will use America as an example of how they can do it too. Speak up

Call your senators. Call them this morning. Leave a message. You can find the right numbers to call and scripts on @5calls.org. It will take maybe 10 minutes and it’s likely you’ll be leaving a voicemail. If you can’t call, find your senators’ websites and fill up their comment boxes. Today.

While many Americans were still asleep, Republicans in the House of Representatives passed Trump’s huge, horrible mega-bill. It might be the worst, most damaging piece of legislation I’ve seen in my nearly 60 years in politics.

ZELDIN: I understand you're an aspiring fiction writer. I see why. SCHIFF: I understand your view that you can cut half of the agency and it won't affect people's health or their water or their air. That to me is a big fiction ... you could give a rat's ass about how much cancer your agency causes

I’m uncomfortable with people who use their platforms to talk about civil rights and social justice, but never mention Palestine. If they just don’t get political that’s a different conversation, but selectively ignoring this is an active choice I struggle with. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

So now I get to freely bring my unvaccinated/boosted immune system home while I’m helping take care of someone with stage 4 breast cancer. This makes sense.

The great thing about journalism is all the gifted reporters and editors have lost the jobs they went into debt to train for and sacrificed their emotional health to do well, but half a dozen middle-aged moral disasters are now the face of the whole discipline because they suck up to billionaires

Got a scam text from an email that included the name Ganymede. I cannot express how much I resent queer mythology being used against me in this way!

I was prepared to watch Rogue One immediately after finishing Andor and to feel differently about it. I was not expecting that I would then keep on going with A New Hope and have a very different sense of the stakes.

I've decided to do 3 pro-bono book covers by end of the year for trans self-pub writers. Are you trans? Do you need a book cover? Like my art? Sound off below! (It's 3 for now because I don't know if I'll have time to do more this year. If there is interest I'll try to do more next year!)

Thoroughly enjoyed seeing Fern Brady’s show last night! Tempted to reread her book, but not sure I’m up for it immediately post-Mrs. Dalloway. I might need something less exposed in between.

The war in Gaza has killed or injured 170,000. Children are starving to death. Trump is encouraging the ethnic cleansing of 2.2 million people. Why is there no discussion in the US government about why we are spending billions of taxpayer dollars starving children in Gaza?
