Don’t buy that fucking Hogwarts game, don’t watch that new Harry Potter show. I have been repeating this for years, any money that goes into JK Rowling’s pockets is going to be used against trans people. She financially backed the BS ruling that came out of the UK supreme court today.

I am a woman, I move through the world as a woman, every single person I know treats me as a woman, every new person I meet acknowledges me as a woman, it is ludicrous for any kind of court to pretend I’m not a woman.

“Just calm down and let people enjoy chatgpt.” Sorry, no. I find it creepy that folks are treating a machine that mimics human speech as their friend / therapist. It is feeding you lies. It is destroying your thinking abilities. Shut it off. Talk to other humans. Go outside.

Saying this way before the show actually airs…if I see any mutual watching it, even in a “just curious to see how they ruin it” hate watch, it’s an automatic unfollow/block. Do not give this ratings or cultural cachet. The adults involved know who they’re working for and they’re HAPPY to support.

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

JKR funded the campaign group behind all this btw. This is why we beg you to stop engaging with Harry Potter media.

Stop making those little AI image generator memes of yourself as a Barbie or a Ghibli character you are enriching evil companies and destroying the planet and this is like one of the easiest things you can just not do

It’s 10pm and I’m getting a pedicure on a cruise ship on my way across the Atlantic (!!!!!) How’s your day been?

“No,” said Frog.

Please. Stop. Participating. In. Those. „Funny“. AI. Trends. Every queer person I see that wants to do Ghibli art or starter packs or any of that shit is encountering censorship of certain terms. If the copyright issues and water waste are not enough for you is the active fascism gonna do it?! No?

Anyway, friendly reminder that our calls to Abolish ICE were NEVER too radical and the democrats & others that chose to not support the movement for some misguided feeling that GOP would use it against us were dead wrong in their assessment & that helped us get where we are today.

Strengthen your community. Know Your Rights webinar at 7pm ET on Thu 17 Apr, by CUNY CLEAR. These KYR events fill up quickly after they're published given ICE threats against legal residents without criminal record and even US citizens. bit.ly/CLEAR417KYR

The phenomenon that affects Democrats/liberals where something isn’t considered bad enough to speak out about and be passionate about until a Republican does it needs to be studied.

Over 1,200 protests took place in all 50 states today including this massive one in Boston. Beautiful. 💙👊

so my favorite dive bar in WI passed up showing tonight’s Bucks game so they could show live poll results. when the election was called for Crawford, the whole bar started chanting, “Fuck El*n”. the bartender pulled out the good stuff and handed out free shots to us all—an absolutely electric nite

Fuck today completely, tbh. Standing up for what’s right shouldn’t be something that’s frowned upon or considered extreme and I am horrified and appalled at what people will let slide and justify for their own peace of mind.

I wasn’t scheming. I was putting on hand lotion.

Me: im gonna stay up late to get a bunch of work done Also me: Watches For All Mankind instead of getting a bunch of work done 😅

RIGHT after I posted this the manager of the restaurant where I was eating came over to let me know that he was taking care of my entire meal because I was wearing my “Pro Palestine Freedom Club” sweatshirt. I cried.

This past weekend I got the distinct joy (and surprise) of moderating a panel at Creation Entertainment’s Women of Sci-Fi fundraiser convention… with the legendary Dawnn Lewis and hilarious Tawny Newsome. PINCH ME! #LowerDecks #StarTrek

You could replace Russia with Israel and Ukraine with Palestine and the story would remain unchanged and still true

Nothing makes me feel more human than people watching at an airport. My god. The silent smiles, the way strangers help one another, the way so many folks are just resigned to being human in whatever form that takes at any given moment…. Gods. It’s just so fucking beautiful.

Good fucking thing too, because what the FUCK was that season finale?????????? A marching brand, bro? (Milkshake’s milkshake brings all the girls to the yard, confirmed. Those body rolls??? 🥵)

Every time you see someone powerful acting like a craven coward in the face of this authoritarian menace, let it stiffen your own spine. We are all we've got.

Reminder: shop local if you can. I'm cooking a beautiful roast tonight from a local rancher. blackfarmersindex.com

Laying in bed, on my side. Amelia is perched on my hip like I’m a cat tree. She always does this … sometimes she even loafs and falls asleep like this 😂

For All Mankind has got to be the craziest fucking show I’ve ever watched. Every single episode a cliffhanger?? It’s UNREAL. So SO good. Just… impeccable storytelling. I’ve never loved and hated characters so thoroughly tbh.

I just love her so much, you know?

Finished work and immediately put on sweats and slippers and cozied up with blankies and pillows to watch For All Mankind
