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?

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

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

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...)

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.

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.
"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...
