I know absolutely nothing about Lula except that i saw someone share a clip on insta of him in celebration kissing a trans woman politician on the cheek and oh my god is that a radical act for a politician in 2026 so lets fucking go

I was thirteen when Matthew Shepard was killed and truly thought my best chance at happiness was to stay closeted forever. I started getting "pre-ulcers" from stress at 16. I've now been out for 22 years and am significantly happier. Whatever else changed, that did get better.

Social media loves talking about how everything is getting worse. But what’s something that you’ve seen get _better_ in your lifetime?

guys, if you work for the puppy crushing factory, the technology you build is going to be used to crush puppies

every neighboring state picking Minnesota and Minnesota picking Canada made me check the date, and this was from this March, which sure makes sense

The Inner Light is a beautiful episode of television. I've cried watching it. One of my absolute favorite Star Trek episodes. For people that haven't seen it, Picard is playing a flute in the art. He is NOT hitting the space vape for fat rips.

why do we bash "dead beat" children for not being there for their parents but we never question if the parent has bad vibes? or if they're just unpleasant to be around?

This is a quietly metastasizing moral panic

Hi, I’m a sighted alt text user! Here are some reasons I use it: - Slow Internet on an airplane - I’m over 40, I have no idea who that celebrity is - Bluesky broke images again - My vision sucks and that text is too small to read otherwise - Conveys further context and authorial intent

God damn I forget injectable PrEP/yeztugo feels like injecting lava into my belly, but i will happily put up with a little sting to only have to take it twice a year.

(also shout out to Positive Care Center at HCMC because they are the least frustrating/most humanizing way I ever interact with the american medical system)

patricia lockwood really did come for cats' game in a very devastating way. I might have been more sympathetic to Mr. Beef's melodrama right now if I did not immediately just hear "oh! jail for mother! jail for mother for One Thousand Years!!!!"

Heterosexual John Waters is the wrong choice for Minnesota

If Republican candidate Ron Schutz is elected he would have to oversee companies he is financially tied to. Minnesotans deserve transparency from their attorney general, not their elected official’s personal financial interest.

Chiitan loves transgender people 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Even a plain statement like this now brings slander and insults, but I think a society where people can live happily as themselves matters more than silence, so I will keep saying it until the account is gone. love everyone🤍

You might have fandom PTSD if... you hear the phrase "Weird Puppies" and you immediately think "oh God who's messing with the Hugo Awards now?"

The only way I will have any interest in this is if they start the film with Finn waking up, having dreamt the entirety of Rise of Skywalker, and picking back up at the end of The Last Jedi. At breakfast, he laughs with Poe & Rey about the silly dream logic of the Emperor returning somehow.

Jon Watts is set to direct ‘STAR WARS: EPISODE 10’. The film is intended to be the beginning of a new trilogy in the Skywalker Saga. (Source: www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...)

I don't think Amy Klobuchar is queerphobic. I think she's an opportunistic triangulator who judged that she needs the gays but doesn't need the trans folk. I don't think I can force her to have a soul or spine but I think I can help force her to admit she miscalculated and course correct.

i have zero problems with anyone not voting for her. I'm still undecided. I do think she's mostly vacant any deeply held principles, positive or negative, and will aim towards a mythical centrism she doesn't even believe in but thinks will poll well in an exurb.

It’s fine, you just take literally everything he owns and throw them both in prison for 20 years

New reporting reveals Ohio Republican Gov. candidate Vivek Ramaswamy hired his mother to manipulate clinical trial data for an Alzheimer's drug he owned the rights to. This scheme boosted Ramaswamy's company stock price and generated a $1.4 B IPO, where he then cashed out before the stock tanked.

i really can’t bring myself to care about AI anthropomorphism debates. “is AI thinking?” i don’t know. is a calculator calculating? questions for the philosophers. what’s important is that we put sam altman in prison.

When I gave my keynote last week about community defense in Minnesota, someone from Ukraine came up to me afterward and said thank you for talking about what it’s like to be under attack and fight back, because most people can’t relate. I wish we couldn’t, but hey Ukrainian friends: we see you.

Timothy Snyder@timothysnyder.bsky.social

"One thing I see on this train is that Ukrainians choose to keep going. I don’t want to romanticize; the suffering and the grief are under the eyes, and in the public memorials, and everywhere. Every attack by the enemy hurts, as does every betrayal by an ally." snyder.substack.com/p/a-meditati...

remember when Biden replied to some right-wing bait question about how many genders there are with, "at least three. don't play games with me, kid." and then got elected president? that was their last winning strategy. dems: "you're a dipshit. fuck off" was your last winning strategy.

I refuse to waste any time playing this dumb fucking game about real art that skilled human beings made. Illustration is art and incredibly difficult to do well, and devaluing the human element in it is part of what got us to this horrifying slop-filled dystopia in the first place
