i am inviting anyone from a legacy media organization to explain to me why the house judiciary dems report on trump’s epstein’s ties and multiple allegations of rape isn’t worthy of extensively reporting on. i’m serious. i want to understand.

My friend Sama'a must deal constantly with smugglers to feed her children. She relies on our help to do so. Please give what you can. chuffed.org/project/1575...

Last year I wrote a spooky story about a vampire and a werewolf competing over a very hungry woman. No, not that story If you’re in the mood for a Halloween longread, I would appreciate it! medium.com/@leighalexan...

I remember talking with an elderly gay man a few years ago. He was very, um, theatrical, and he rolled his eyes in a way that I kept interpreting as rude but no, it was just very, um, theatrical.

Select your gender for pride: 🔳 Man 🔳 Woman 🔳 Cowpoke 🔳 Fairy 🔳 Sewer Rat Gangster 🔳 Angel 🔳 Robot 🔳 Scalene Triangle 🔳 Your Devoted Servant 🔳 Grackle, Pigeon or other Unappreciated Bird 🔳 Parasitic Creeper Plant 🔳 Does Not Apply 🔳 Come back with a warrant you federal bitch

I think you can make the case that Eileen Canon is single-handedly responsible for Trump staying out of Federal prison in the docs case.

I think the lesson from Lula is not never talk about the opposition; it's articulate a positive vision that's basically, We Can Just Do Things. That's why Mamdani-ism is so popular - voters have an intrinsic sense that their electeds have agency they're not using

stopping everything i'm doing to appreciate all these beautiful photos of jaguars from ed yong

Everyone is talking about data centers ahead of the midterm elections. I heard from residents in a Pennsylvania neighborhood where a hyperscale data center is proposed for just outside their doorsteps. Read more: www.newsfromthestates.com/article/we-d...

Last Week Tonight host looked into the rise of bigotry and neo-nazism within the party before critical midterm races

There's simply no excuse for this. Sucker Punch has delivered two back-to-back acclaimed and high selling games. This team should be safe and celebrated. and yet this industry continues to be fucking demonic.

Scab.

This is the best scandal of all time. Some anonymous people have said it's a problem and the guy whose job it is to be sad on behalf of any cop hates it. But everyone else seems fine with it. It makes one wonder who brought this forward

So the "advice" doled out in this column makes me INCREDIBLY fucking angry as a former kid who was repeatedly taken to task by teachers for "inappropriate" drawings, culminating in a 9th-grade suspension spurred by Columbine paranoia and residual Satanic Panic. Arionne here says that was JUSTIFIED.

What I experienced as "punishment" for being into dark/weird shit/creepy art was ultimately traumatizing and taught me I couldn't trust adults. Obviously this had long-term ramifications well into my adult life. I never went on to murder anyone, but I AM a published horror writer. How about that?

Fantastic news from Aotearoa New Zealand - trans healthcare professionals have won their court case against the government, overturning the country's ban on puberty blockers. Huge respect and congratulations to everyone involved in this fight.

Okay, I've set this up specifically for helping us take care of a surprise!dozen kittens and mama Chex Mix. 🧡 Shares muchly appreciated! (There will be SO many kitten photo updates, I promise.) www.gofundme.com/f/helping-ch...

you should play our game if you want an insightful drama about gay love, illness, and divinity, or if you are sexually attracted to water balloons

A.J. Casson (1898-1992) Summer Sky, 1955.

it's not the only problem in the world but it seems very clear to me that better ADHD support leads to better real-world outcomes, and that the delta between outcomes for the well-supported and unsupported is frequently enormous

one of the things that I keep coming back to when we discuss "cozy horror"is that the whole argument is so reader-centric. It feels like a late 1970s caricature of a neurotic new yorker in their therapist's office screaming "WHAT ABOUT MY NEEDS???"

Briar Ripley Page wrote an interesting essay recently about why they write -- not necessarily to communicate something to readers, but to communicate something about themself that cannot otherwise be spoken.

Moonflow was about how painful and embarrassing it is to want to be desired. it's essentially this bit from twin peaks, but it sounds absurd or pathetic or trite when you just say it in real life. i had to tell a whole dumb story to wind you up to accept this platitude

someone will be like i'm 22 and i'm still nervous on the phone and ppl on the gram will be like that's because you're weaponizing learned helplessness because you are demonic and going to go to hell and want everyone to take care of you bc of your manipulative gaslighting personality from hell

Thomas Ligotti, if he tried writing upmarket horror:

found out that my mother in law decided she was aggressively pro trans rights literally by going, I don't know anything about this but everyone who is against trans rights is also against free school lunch, the issue I know and care a lot about, so this must be the correct way to feel about this

since when did settlement get granted automatically because I’m pretty sure I had to pay £4k and also fill out a pretty long application and provide about a dozen pieces of paper evidence and also live here for a fucking decade and pay visa fees and health surcharges the whole fucking time
