Well, Freeway Blogging is back, anyway.

“Why aren’t people protesting?” Bitch we showed up for three weeks at children’s hospital and they caved and kids are getting their gender affirming care now from *checks notes* protests

The always wonderful @saracentury.bsky.social had me on Best Issue Ever to talk about this comic that has haunted me for 30 years!! Tune in to listen to Sara and I gush over Chris Bachalo for about two hours 🖤

My husband and our 7 yr old are at the Derek Warfield/Wolfe Tones concert tonight. Got this text Warfield said "Maggie Thatcher....then paused and said 'When I say her name, I can hear the heat coming up from the floor." Amazing 💕

Trump take egg. Trump crash plane. Trump take job.

Check out our interview with @chriswarcraft.bsky.social. It's absolute fire.

That is correct We are in Nuremberg Laws territory already

Really love this @melissagiragrant.com piece on education and healthcare workers pushing back, forcing their employers to grow spines. This is what I mean when I say we are strongest at the point of reproduction right now--this is where we win.
