Copying the aesthetic of Marie Antoinette to ensure my safe place as an aspiring aristocrat within the Versailles hierarchy while the so called revolutionaries naively panic about inequality and human rights. Why would I worry the King decreed left handedness a death sentence? I am right handed.

Sure, there is a military dictatorship being attempted and the secret police are in my city snatching people off the street, but I got a lash lift and my brows waxed, so I'm feeling okay right now.

Last Friday I threw a concert for the TRANSplants Issue 3 Zine Release and it fucking rocked. Love these photos taken by the amazing @victoriascott.bsky.social of a bunch of transsexuals and queers having a good time together. Music by @vivmccall.bsky.social (Pansy) and Zara.

I think at some point we have to stop indulging the fiction that conservatism is a legitimate political tendency and isn't simply a grievance cult for those who value the ability to enact cruelty over their literal basic needs.

Journalists in general lack scientific literacy and are easily distracted by jangling keys narratives. I once took part in a conference laying out the facts of a water rights dispute between states. The reporting ignored the presented evidence in favor of talking points by political appointees.

yeah thats why there is the classic tale about the bar owner who didnt kick out the nice nazi but instead accomodated his concerns about the other patrons and the bar remained normal and cool and everyone went there forever.

I could never understand this until I got to know a couple Dem insiders. They are driven by small stakes personal slights above all else. Similar story for a lot of media personalities. Vacuous narcissists on a vendetta against anyone who blocks them from preening in front of a mirror.

To put this into terms media elites can understand: it's as bad as Columbia students waving Palestinian flags and even worse than a trans woman placing fifth in a race.

👋 Hi, we’re Unbreaking, a volunteer-run collective working to document our current moment of institutional collapse and its human costs—as well as the pushback and resilience work already underway. We believe this is critical work for building and retaining political agency.
