The alux belongs to Maya tradition, especially in the Yucatán. These small supernatural beings are associated with fields, forests and caves. Treat them respectfully and they may protect the land. Offend them and your day may become considerably more complicated. #WyrdWednesday

Didn't know this until today but Dolly Parton had a transsexual man named Jason Pirro work as her Hollywood chauffeur in the 1980s, per an interview he gave to The Sun in 1990. "Dolly has been good to me...Dolly knows all about me."

I fucking hate AI almost as much as I hate the sniveling asshole billionaires and shithole corporations who have all forced it into every conceivable spot in our lives. It literally makes everything worse and it makes us worse and I fucking hate it.

ICE killed a random guy today.

BREAKING: BIDDEFORD, Maine (AP) - Homeland Security secretary said man killed by ICE in Maine was not the target of warrant, Maine Sen. Angus King says.

truly, transmascs- we need to stop speaking on trans women’s experiences. it’s mansplaining and you do not get a pass to do it bc you're trans.

read the full transcript of the "Are trans lesbians bourgeois?" talk and it's so fucking bad, I can't even criticize it in a bluesky thread it would have to be a full blog post tearing it apart from the seams. it's basically a mix of TERF ideology with AGP/HSTS crap, sweetened with some crazy racism

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

feels like such an missed opportunity. i’m so glad Melat won her race, but i wish i’d seen the same enthusiasm from the left for Julie. winning her senate run would’ve been a huge left sweep.

Sen. John Hickenlooper’s primary margin is down to 7 points with roughly 92% of votes in. It was 15 last night. That’s very weak given his massive spending advantage over Gonzales and his longtime prominence in Colorado politics. One has to wonder if progressive groups missed a major opportunity

Julie Gonzales didn’t win tonight but I’m still so happy that she ran. Hickenlooper needed a challenge, she forced him to get off his ass and hear from angry constituents all over the state. He took positions against ICE he never would have without political pressure. Gratitude for your service.

Rep Diana DeGette (D-CO) will not concede tonight to Democratic Socialist Melat Kiros. Kiros leads by 4.5% and the remaining ballots are expected to favor Kiros.

NEW poll shows a Democratic socialist born in 1997 leading against a veteran Democrat who first took office in 1997. The CO-1 Democratic primary poll shows 29-year-old Melat Kiros ahead of Diana DeGette, 41-36. *38-point-swing* toward Kiros since March.

McMorrow on the UFC fight at the White House: "More and more Michiganders are struggling because of the decisions of this president, and he's throwing himself a birthday party. It just rings 'let them eat cake.'"

my wife made this COOL ASS FLAG! look at it!!! HAPPY PRIDE 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈

HAPPY PRIDE, Y'ALL! Awhile back I designed this flag for Denver because I love our flag so much. I don't think I've posted it over here before. QUEER RIGHTS ARE HUMAN RIGHTS. "No one of us can be free until everybody is free."

Genuinely going through the stages of grief. I was literally setting aside money for season tickets and merch already. Can't imagine losing a hockey fight against Vegas and San Jose. Denver's NHL team is 10 years older than both of theirs combined. Absolutely wild.
