I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

good morning

I think artists and sex workers should have a natural allyship. Both of us are often told we should not be allowed to charge for our work if it is at all pleasurable. Both of us are wanted for what we can do, but our work is considered not worth paying for. We should stick together

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

私服で待ち合わせベアトリス

Is this like the maybe surprising fact that Laval (the Mississauga of Quebec) has a mayor who wrote a book on car-free neighbourhoods?

This is why I hate the “it has to be subtle!!!” Critique of queer media. The fact that we can’t just say what we are or what the character is is so reductive and constraining to so many queer writers. Don’t let cis people dictate how you show you identity. They don’t know what they’re saying.

In the last few weeks i've been bombarded with emails from people who have minor tech support problems. ChatGPT is telling them to email me, writing their emails, and compiling "evidence packets" after convincing them they have stumbled on a major story: www.404media.co/chatgpt-keep...

There are some people who claim "oh, Dems in blue states will never shift towards enacting anti-trans policy" Meanwhile Colorado is literally enacting a medical detransition protocol for trans youth on medicaid.

this is one of the big results of the datacenter push long term: the general public is starting to ask some hard questions why essential infrastructure goes unconstructed and unmaintained while useless and indeed hostile infrastructure sees no barriers

it is very funny that "queer leftists" get this reputation of being above voting or whatever because my wife and I fill our ballots out with enough reverence it feels like it is a religious ceremony

Love seeing South Seattle getting some proper bike lanes! Video soon

Calling out churches for violating the law isn’t “persecution” or “intimidation.” Churches are free to preach whatever they want, but tax-exempt status comes with rules. If pastors want to operate as political operatives, they can pay taxes like everyone else.

I love how bikes compliment the urban landscape rather than dominating it like cars.

Feels like the phenomenon haunting every culture war narrative in the press is growing individual incomes and financial independence. A century ago most everyone would just have to grit their teeth and suffer their relatives/ partners as a matter of survival. This is no longer the case.

Every article has the same premise: Young people are characterizing their normal, happy childhoods as abusive and going "no contact" with their parents over minor disagreements. Every article also, late in the text, blithely acknowledges that this premise is false. www.nytimes.com/2024/07/14/h...

I love the rain <3

people are always gonna think you're weird. theyre always gonna find something "cringe" about you. your hair or your gender or your art or your favorite show or how you eat your eggs. the best thing you can do is just laugh at them for caring about that kind of thing and keep being yourself

me: i'm gonna write the most devious and transgressive sex scene ever. the scene: "imagine happy loving intimacy where neither party is dissociated."
