No one talks about the struggle of buying clothes when you’re built like a tall transsexual ostrich😫

borders and states aren’t real, anybody who wants to stroll into the U.S. should be able to do so whenever they want, I don’t fuckin care

So do we get why I was banned from speaking about Pinochet at the Naval Academy now?

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

RT if you love boobs or if you think ICE should be abolished

The people with power and influence in this society have lost their minds. They are totally out of control.

Musk vs. Trump: Same old WWF bullshit.

In this Pride month, I am proud that I am LGBTQ. I just wished I would have had the courage to come out when I was younger.

My recs for new readers who want to try Edmund White: For fiction: A Boy's Own Story or The Beautiful Room is Empty. Gorgeous. He loved Proust. You'll feel that. To get to know him and his times: Any memoir, but especially City Boy. If you want to throw a book in outrage, then run to pick it up...>

Man comes to the US from Lebanon. Starts out delivering pizzas, becomes a Nobel winning neuroscientist. Trump freezes his funding, he gets an email from China offering to move his lab “any city, any university I want" with guaranteed funding for 20 years. What are we doing?

Edmund White helped so many writers - writing in so many languages - find courage and a path to being read, such a generous and hard working leader. @worldkidlit.bsky.social

June 12 is the world premier of Steal This Story, Please!

RIP Edmund White, who, apart from being a brilliant writer, was also a very kind and funny man. He will be missed by all his many friends and readers.

"Anyone who ever let me in his body or arms I still feel grateful to. That's why so many of my friends are old lovers, I suppose. And that includes, these days, dying and dead friends as well, to whom the flesh, my flesh, still connects me." Edmund White, The Beautiful Room is Empty, 1988
