This is a stunning betrayal by Whitman Walker in DC. You CANNOT jettison the trans community to protect yourself. It’s shameful. I got my name changed at WWH. I have promoted their research. Now they are capitulating to save gay people at trans people’s expense by trying to erase us.

One of the things people fail to grasp about the "Punk Bar" analogy is that for Punks (and metalheads, and rivetheads, and...) the Nazis that you have to throw out are neither hypothetical nor rare. The average person doesn't realize that the Nazis are an extant existential threat.

Discworld QOTD, from Raising Steam “The aristocrats, if such they could be called, generally hated the whole concept of the train on the basis that it would encourage the lower classes to move about and not always be available.”

The sun has almost set on the USA

i think it is cool that de facto first consul of the united states is a drug-addled maniac and deadbeat dad with a breeding fetish

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

Trans rights are non negotiable. It’s like a foundational aspect of a better world

RFK's brilliant idea to steal kids and send them to "farms" is just orphan trains (not called that at the time, and most of the kids were not orphans), which we already did, and which resulted in stolen urban children being used as slave labor in rural communities.

Every "what the fuck dude" you don't say, is encouragement for assholes. Every "ew, why the fuck would you say that" and disgusted expression you hold in, is teaching bigots that their bigotry won't face even the smallest pushback. Teach em a different lesson.

Remember when we were like “Biden ban Trump from office” and “Biden fire dejoy” and “Biden expand the courts” etc and a bunch of liberals were like “HE CANT BC RULES” yeah just thinkin about that while planes crash every day bc a guy who isn’t even president just kinda felt like “disrupting” the FAA

DSZ has the most based alt text in history

"...everything the government sets out to do is mercenary, vicious, and slapdash by design. It is no longer trying to operate as a great power—even a cynical great power—but only as whatever feels epic to Musk or gratifying to Trump in the moment."

Suspect the place we really went off the rails as a country was 1864 when we didn't bar from government every single member of the Confederate government and army without exception, seize 100% of Confederate property to give to formerly enslaved people, and muster a Black-led army to defend it all.

It's normalcy bias season

I feel like most writing would be improved if all ellipses were to be magic-wanded into colons

Being a USA inhabiter, I think a lot lately about how no one says "This is NOT who we are" anymore
