If you wonder why you mainly see 4 and 5 star book reviews on my feed, there's a reason. I'm here to talk about the media I love, not to fight other people about what they love. (Don't get me wrong, there is a place for critical reviews. I'm just choosing not to occupy that space personally.)

Just a reminder that if you’re a living queer over ~40, you’re a freaking survivor, no matter when you came out. We are now, many of us, well past the ages so many of our fallen ancestors weren’t able to reach. Ageism has no place in queer liberation or feminism. Stamp it out.

There are white people all over the internet saying shit like “I’m sorry that baby died, but…” and if you’re adding “but” to the end of that sentence then fix your fucking heart because you’re a broken person with no humanity. For fucks sake. White folks are never beating the allegations

The episode of BUFFY where Willow accidentally unleashes a demon on the internet and it has access to all digital information but is a liar and seduces her by engaging in romantic chats where it agrees with her about everything hits a little differently now.

Every day I contemplate the fact that we still don't know what causes left-handedness. Ages ago we as a society decided it was totally normal and stopped punishing and ostracizing kids for it. Today the thought of being anti-left-handedness is bonkers to us. This is a post about trans kids.

Had someone use that word while talking to me at work within the past couple of weeks and let me tell you how fast I went from being friendly to just getting them off my phone as fast as possible.

The six genders

Rex Huppke@rexhuppke.bsky.social

Trump hearing "cisgender" and thinking its "six genders" then getting all mad about it, thus forcing other Republicans to agree that the libs are now demanding there be six genders, is a perfect encapsulation of our Golden Age of Dickishness and Stupidity.

Our sweet baby Luna crossed the rainbow bridge last Friday. We found out last week that she had heart failure and metastatic thyroid carcinoma. The vet did their best for her, but she was in a lot of pain and ultimately the best thing we could do was let her go. Fuck cancer.

If you think about it now is the perfect time for a Scrubs revival because JD and Elliot were also terrible human beings who never suffered any consequences.

people think saving elixirs and never using them even after the boss fight is a funny video game thing but you realize that's just who you are as a person when you clean out your fridge and find a jar of sauce from 5 years ago

It’s entirely predictable in a really awful way that the tipping point was a white man getting killed. Not that he should have been killed, or that he didn’t seem like a good person. But we watched a little kid get used as bait and that wasn’t the tipping point. That’s telling.

“Republicans need the votes of at least seven Democrats to pass the legislation – and now they don’t have them.” Alex Pretti’s murder by ICE was the breaking point for Senate Democrats who are now going to use their votes to block a bill to expand ICE’s budget. zeteo.com/p/senate-dem...

I put my foot down halfway on and halfway off a curb and broke a bone in my foot.

What's the most ridiculous way you ever hurt yourself? I got out of the tub, skidded in water and tripped over the toilet. Ankle sprain. 😅

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

every time i read about the insane perverts attempting to gain access to daycare centers by force I think about this review for a dojo that I read ages ago. no, you are not entitled to places just because you want to go there. grow up

My sourdough starter, Shilo is still flourishing. She's had three babies that are also still going strong: Beulah, Kayden, and Spock. (My only condition when giving out pieces of my starter is you must name them and you must tell me the name.) Spock has apparently had many babies. 😆

people always laugh when bears run away from housecats because they're so much bigger but like. imagine you were in the woods & you ran into a weird little guy that looks kinda like you but like 1/5th the size & his head is shaped weird & he is running toward you full tilt yelling. what would you do

I keep wanting to say something, and I keep not knowing what to say. The trans community does not harm cis people by existing. They are just trying to live their lives, same as anyone else. That life doesn't look exactly like mine; my life doesn't match anyone else's. That's okay.

Something I wish we were currently better at grasping is that sometimes bad characters will do bad things. Not every villain has to be a rapist who eats baked babies, but they will be racists, bigots, assholes, and violent bastards you want to see lose. That doesn't mean I, the author, agree.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong, it is right. No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness, it is a strength. No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited, it is unlimited.

I want to scream this from the rooftops. I'm so tired of this "Girls mature faster" bullshit mythology being spewed even by intelligent people. And we all know why people WANT to believe it...yet people clutch their pearls about monsters like Epstein and Trump. It's ALL connected.
