Big, growing crowd just west of the U.S. Capitol protesting Trump, Musk and DOGE on President’s Day. “Hey Congress, grow a spine,” they shout, gathering for a rally around the reflecting pool.

I'm probably pissing in the wind, but I have little time off because of the holiday, so I'd like to offer a thread arguing against an ugly, ugly habit rising on Bluesky: Screenshots of articles without links. Stop it. Just fucking stop it.

“If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.” Damn. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

“They hate truth as an enemy, and love lies like favourite brothers. They look askance at the just poor as though they were snakes; and, showing no regard for shame, they respect the wicked rich as though they were angels from heaven.” Gildas, On the Ruin of Britain, c. 540 (Winterbottom 1978, 52)

For #LanternFestival here is a picture from a few years ago of Queen Heonae, who ruled Goryeo as regent for her son King Mokjong in the year 1000. I drew her at the Lantern Festival since it was a pivotal festival in her life. Set in Kaesong, North Korea. womenof1000ad.weebly.com/queen-heonae...

This thread is cathartic and also has some reasonable action points for next time I'm frothing in rage trying to find what to actually ask for. I've been more polite than this on the phone (I'm still me) but calling every single morning to remind them that this is where we are now.

Interesting that we're expected to accept and respect the change of name of a body of water... but we don't have to if it's an actual human being 🤔

Anyway gender has always been flexible, even at places and periods with strict rules about it. Because conformity to arbitrary gender aspects is not a naturally-occuring thing, humans are complicated, and society has always loved to play with its own boundaries.

Ngl trying to focus on work while watching a coup attempt happen back home is proving difficult. But I will sit here doing my genderfluidity research powered by rage and spite.
