The heartbreaking statement from Jonathan Joss’s husband about his death.

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

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.

We went on a bike ride that I guess was a dyke ride all along! Happy first day of #Pride

A dream come true for Lo 🩵

Happy Pride Month 2025 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Be gay do crow stuff #pridemonth #pridecrows

If you see this post a flower.

Again, murder is legal in America if you do it with a car

Etienne-Emile Baulieu, inventor of the abortion pill, dies aged 98

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

Did my little beginner group ride after getting off work early 🙂‍↕️

This shit is kayfabe

Trying to be kind to myself today but I'm possibly becoming meaner

but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine

We make jokes about this sometimes because it’s laughable. But when journalists try to make sense of the nonsensical, rational out of the irrational, and coherence out of the incoherence, they affirmatively do the public interest great harm.

This is the first thing I read this morning and I can't get it out of my head. As my friend said, it's like how once you understand how real gaslighting works it's harder to be fooled by it. This was empowering. www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-...

BREAKFAST SANDO

Finished my week off call. Finished the 8+ hour shift immediately after my call that I agreed to because my manager never asks. Almost finished my martini on my porch.

Bringing this to Bsky bc @steverattner.bsky.social hasn't posted it yet and it's so critical. The entirety of the cuts to Medicaid and food benefits are to pay for tax cuts for people earning more than half a million a year. Call Congress: 202-224-3121

There are 100 terrible things in this bill. Focus like a laser on one or two of those things and start educating everyone you know on those one or two things. If each of us does that, then we'll be able to inform A LOT OF PEOPLE.

When I interviewed KKK leaders in Arkansas, this is what they said too. “We don’t hate anyone. We just love our own people.” Then they burned a cross.

Unironically they should buy up the domains for about 60 defunct local newspapers in swing states. Hire two reporters to write almost exclusively about highschool sports and new restaurants opening with every 10th article about how the local GOP is screwing over people.

WARREN: Can POTUS legally tell the IRS to change someone's nonprofit status? BILLY LONG: I'm not able to answer WARREN: You can't read these words and tell me what those words say?! LONG: I can read the statute and I did WARREN: Then tell me what they mean!

For all the talk about “hard truths” etc that propagate our discourse we really don’t discuss how coddling conspiracy theorists has made things worse for everyone.

One easy way to know if you should support cuts to Medicaid is to ask yourself if you want your nearest hospital to be open or closed next time you need it. Then repeat the question substituting “Emergency Department,” “Trauma Center,” “Stroke Center,” “Cardiac Cath Lab,” etc.

There is no sweeter feeling than the clock turning over and you realizing you can't be paged in for a few hours. This weekend was busy.

Authoritarianism depends on a divide and conquer mindset that is aided when we sacrifice others. Continuing to view people in so-called “Red States” as deserving any and all suffering helps the larger authoritarian project and ensures it will succeed. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/resisting-...
