All phenomena are fleeting. He/him. For those who don't know me from other social media sites: Waffles (Waf) is the name of our dog, not the name of my husband. [Update: Waf was. Marlowe is now our dog's name, not my husband's. Waf is now a name for love.]

Ooooh. Purple Rose of Cairo is the reference in the 'Hotel Reverie' episode of Black Mirror. Purple rose/black rose--it's a reference that would hit you over the head if you weren't staring right at it.

My husband didn't get this, and in fact thought Aretha Franklin was in the picture. I will not back down though, and welcome literally anyone else to make this joke work better.

Odd the sign aimed at cyclists and not dogs is vandalized.

Fuck Shaq and UFC, WWE and any other sport that welcomes Trump or benefits from his presence. All sports are now doing that weird thing were they become fascist because the Dear Leader appropriates them, and fans really need to push back against that before they, too, get jammed up in fascism.

Just a heads up — I've posted before about my trans geek friend (who I've met and vouch for) who's been dealing with health stuff and needs help. 💝 She just posted an update: she's got a plan to get herself out of her situation 🤩 but meanwhile her cat is sick 😿 www.gofundme.com/f/DWORD-0x62...

Queens Man admits to human trafficking.

Do watch this Last Week Tonight episode on trans athletes

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

I know it seems like a dumb thing to say now, but this is not how it always should've been, and it's not how the US--in a general way--does them. But here we are, going to the worst angels, to pretend this is the country we've aspired to all along when, really, we've always aspired to be better.

If the US is now so weak that it cannot demand the return of a prisoner IT SENT TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY ITSELF, then the US government no longer exists. If, however, it refuses to use its power to return a prisoner, it... still no longer exists. We are no longer the US in either case.

OMG the wider picture is WORSE jfc. Whitmer should have walked out--even if she got a deal for Michigan, Trump will still destroy everything she was wanting.
