Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

Horror art just hits me in a way I can’t explain. Don’t get me wrong, I love all the couple/lovers art in the book community. I love soft things. But when I see an unhinged bit of body horror art? Like the bunny with teeth on the crown of her head or something by Junji Ito? Me: 💖👁️🌸👁️💖

This whole “shit, the world’s on fire and they’re trying to erase us all and what a cruel clusterfuck and let’s fight in all fronts—oh, I gotta make money and pay bills and work on all my projects and support others and not engage trolls” thing really sucks.

Maybe instead of purging the Social Security workers who make sure seniors get their checks on time, we should be expanding benefits to make life a little easier for your parents and grandparents.

The reporting on the trans travel visa ban is criminal. It does NOT only affect transgender athletes. The cables CLEARLY say it affects all trans people. They can reject visas on point 6 of anyone who is requesting a visa that does not match their assigned sex at birth.

Breaking: Trump's full trans military ban has just dropped. Quickly reading it, it appears to be a full separation from the military for all transgender military members, and states being trans is inconsistent with "honesty, humility, uniformity, and integrity." A sad day for this nation.

So increasing the minimum wage to a livable wage is “socialism”? But Amazon union busting, keeping wages low, and forcing workers onto public assistance while its founder increases his net worth by $7.9M an hour is the "free market"? Perhaps this could be a WaPo opinion piece.

Imagine a flu season without shots or with completely random guesses made by various companies about which strains will be the worst this year. Then add in the new Covid variants, and the president that screwed us over during a global pandemic being back in office. We are all ☠️ #fucktrump

The first measles death in the US in a decade -- the tragic, preventable death of a child whose parents chose not to protect them with vaccination -- should spark an immediate nation-wide campaign to ensure all children are protected against preventable diseases. Anything less is unconscionable.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired. This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all. Subscribe to support my journalism.

When you say free market, I hear at the expense of the lower and middle classes. When you say personal liberty, I hear personal liberty for you but not for anyone else. Fuck Jeff bezos. A free press is critical for a free democracy. #screamingintothevoid
