One of the keys of the productive circuit of excitation-frustration-excitation lies in the toxicological nature of sexual pleasure. […] The pleasure (in its capacity as frustrating satisfaction) of the multitude is the ultimate source of the production of wealth. (Paul B. Preciado, Testo Junkie)

In Puerto Rico, the colonial and national state brothel was mutating into a pharmacopornographic heterotopia. The racial and sexual zoning of spaces that had occurred previously would provide the ideal site for the testing of contraceptives. (Paul B. Preciado, Testo Junkie)

A small thread about small press economics and buying directly from publishers and authors

Today in Japan it's #NationalCatDay! 🎨'Popular Cat Song Ball' - Utagawa Kuniyoshi. #Caturday #ukiyoe #JapaneseArt

The only data that cannot be compromised or abused is data that does not exist: I absolutely agree Democrats should be running on these ideas.

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website. The stated reason is harmful to us all. I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars. Subscribe to support my journalism.

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

I had, as it turns out, a voluminous quantity of words to say about the National Endowment for the Arts demanding fealty to Trump in their new grant guidelines (with side tangents into Robert Mapplethorpe, the Eight of Swords in tarot, compliance and resistance, and why budgets are moral documents)

To be clear: the brutal, prolonged torture and murder of Sam Nordquist for his trans identity was ruled "not a hate crime" by upstate NY law enforcement because it happened to a trans man. The #1 rule of hate crimes is they never happen to trans people. No matter how much hate is behind the crime.
