At some point, we need to grapple with the fact that anti-vaxx conspiracies, crunchy mom propaganda, and the crusade against trans kids are all related. People who don't think you should be put any "chemicals" in your body are basically a circle with the anti-trans people. Crunchy leads to alt right

CLARIFICATION : The Trevor Project's hotline will still be live. But basically this means LGBTQ people can no longer be connected to it through the US national 988 suicide prevention hotline. They will need to be contacted DIRECTLY So spread this around They can be texted. They can be called.

This is exactly the right tone when privileged people suffer minor or temporary consequences standing up for powerless people. It’s still about the powerless people. ICE is Gestapo trash.

Gave blood today (donation #71 with this organization) and had the loveliest phlebotomist. Picked up groceries after and did my usual Post Blood-Giving Barnes & Noble trip. Got V.E. Schwab's latest AND @venessakelley.bsky.social's book, finally! And I got myself a coffee! A very good afternoon.

Having a bit of a hard time with the concept that if a guy in a police uniform who has a police vehicle shows up I should lock the doors and call 911, but if a guy in a ski mask with an hGH gut appears to be kidnapping my neighbor, I shouldn’t ask who he is if I don’t want federal charges.

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? It’s not just the raw egg that poses a risk of giving you salmonella poisoning when you eat raw cookie dough or cake batter. Raw flour is an excellent salmonella vector.

1. I once took several pulls straight from a bottle of Malört without flinching. 2. One time I drank a whole bottle of champagne in an hour without realizing until it was almost empty. It was a historic snow day at UIUC, sue me.

“I told him it was brutal and cruel.” Minnesota Senator @tinasmithmn (D) pulled Utah’s @senmikelee out of a Republican meeting and confronted him for his ugly tweets blaming Democrats for the shootings of Dems in Minnesota — by a man friends say was a staunch conservative.

Don’t send me an unsolicited picture of your peewee cocktapus unless you want me to… A: find your mom’s Facebook B: find a picture she uploaded of you reminiscing about what a nice young man you were C: badly photoshop that into a locket D: convince you I’m your daughter. Happy Father’s Day Daddy.

Every time someone says "This isn't America" I get pissed because all of this has happened before, it just didn't happen to white people. And before someone brings up the Irish, they weren't considered white at the time. They bought their way into whiteness via jobs that enforced oppression.

I've said it many times before and Andrew Cuomo is making me say it again: we don't have a cancellation problem. We have never had a cancellation problem. To the contrary, we have a problem that "disgrace" is a very temporary embarrassment— an brief entr'acte more than an intermission.
