So my wife and I have been calling the COVID pandemic “the ‘Roni” while others I know call it the Rona but some call it the Pandy. If you are in the latter group I have bad news for you: you’re going to need a more unique name to disambiguate the various pandemics the US government is going to spawn

Welp, our stuff finally arrived from Seattle. Three long months on the container ship but I finally have all my clothes, electronics, kitchen supplies, and music gear. It’s actually a smaller pile than I feared but it’s still such an intimidating amount to unpack though

Sure is hard to feel hopeful about humanity’s future when countries seem to be lining up to tell us we specifically don’t deserve one

It seems Tesla is detecting vehicles that may have problems, and artificially running their odometers faster so the warranty expires before they have to do any service Just incredible grift

“I may not support his current politics but that Austrian painter’s work was really important to me as a kid. I shouldn’t get grief for reading Mein Kampf” Supporting fascists has consequences. Consuming HP media is as harmful as buying a Tesla and deserves the same derision and public shaming

a reminder that "death of the author" is not a balm to assuage your guilt for engaging w/ media made by hateful people it's a media theory that ignores author intent, preferring reader interpretation so sure "miku" wrote it, but you still gave a bigot your money and they're using it to harm folks

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

I found a singing session in Amsterdam! Not quite the life changing experience that my proper Irish singing sessions have been but still a lot of fun!

every single suicidal trans person I know is suicidal because society does everything in its power to show them that them not existing is preferred over them being trans.

Never again is now, friends. Don't look away. We have a moral obligation to EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING being detained, deported, and sent to actual concentration camps on our watch. Who were you when your government perpetuated atrocities? If you're in the US, it's in the wide-open now.

My latest piece, written for the Kettering Foundation. I urge organizations, nonprofits, and companies to end the cycle of over compliance with Trump threats, and show how doing so ushers in fascism. Some lessons from what we have seen in the trans community. kettering.org/do-not-compl...

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

America would be 1000% better run if you just randomly chose trans people to replace all the members of the current administration. Yes, I am including children and folks who don’t speak English

The thing I realized about living in the Netherlands (and Europe in general) is that what we USians would consider ‘fancy’ food is just cheap daily food here. I assembled a pear and Camembert sandwich drizzled with honey on a freshly baked roll and it cost maybe €1 a serving America could never
