GOOD MORNING I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE SEATED IN MY FUCKING LIFE

Seems like a good day to buy and read books by @scumbelievable.bsky.social, @haileypiperfights.bsky.social, and @hangsawoman.bsky.social. Three women writing amazing stories about how to battle bigots and kick fascists in the face.

If any good comes of this I hope it’s a wider realization that this is something cops and prosecutors lie about all the time

if you don’t think trans women are women, i do not think you are a human person. sorry! it’s just my personal beliefs ♥️

"autism ruins families" by what, fucking your wife so good she leaves you

For no reason at all, here's the campfire story scene in MANHUNT where a character relates the tale of J. K. Rowling's grisly death in her fortified Scottish castle.

ok but "does not pay taxes or write poetry" is a much better descriptor of what it means to be a Kennedy

the other day I said someone was “going through the Karenization process” but Liam misheard and thought I said carcinization so now we’ve invented a little crab with a Karen haircut

more specifically they are going to continue this in perpetuity because if Garcia ever makes it back to this country he's going to describe what's going on there and it will be some real problems

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

they're not even good! you're just nostalgic for when your knees didn't hurt! leave that shit alone!

the safety of trans people is more important than the stupid wizard book you read as a child.

I threw out all my Harry Potter shit (which I never had much of) years ago, because I’m an adult, but days like today I kind of wish I still had some merch I could light on fire. catharsis is hard to come by.

tired: terfs arguing about women's bathroom wired: the long line of people of all genders waiting to piss on Rowlings' grave

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

a world without trans people has never existed and never will

“what radicalized you” I was assigned a research project on the WPA in the 7th grade

I hate packing and moving more than anything but honestly I’ve been kind of crushing it. don’t worry about how much weed I’ve been smoking! look at all these boxes!!!

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

the cure for the male loneliness epidemic is men forming close lifelong friendships by doing an inglorious basterds about guys like this

it causes me such pain to see snooty liberals respond to a story about a horrific, incurable, fatal occupational disease like black lung with “but how did they vote????” as if that fucking matters

Just clarifying, though this is not difficult to grasp: Anyone working on an industry project with a notorious transphobic bigot is OK with transphobic bigotry. The end.

he just blithely tossed off a reference to “spiders in the hands of an angry god” and I stopped the conversation dead to be like “I’m sorry WHAT in the hands of an angry god”

just kind of feel sick to my stomach about everything lol

three bags of groceries just ran me $175

bad enough that these stupid venal fuckers couldn’t be bothered to write a plan themselves but they couldn’t even proofread it????

we cannot let them take this artform from us
