Best TikTok thing going is the two dudes trying food from every country without leaving NYC. If you haven’t seen them yet, it’s incredible. My favorite so far is last week’s. Legit got me emotional.

Feeling extremely bad this morning and assume that a lot of folks feel the same. Going to try to put as much kindness into the world as I can. And we’ll go from there.

I get the impulse to mark the anniversary, but I’m finding posts from neighbors and the city marking the one year anniversary of the fires rougher than expected. And I wasn’t even directly affected. Take care of yourself today, LA.

I have been waiting for someone to so perfectly encapsulate why I hate self-censoring/euphemistic speech like “unaliving” and here it is:
TODAY on @theflytrapmedia.com, and unpaywalled for all, I'm talking about algospeak, cuteification, and the implications of softening language about hard things.
Algospeak Will Be the Unaliving of Me
Maybe we want to bare our teeth.

4pm is too early to get sad about the weekend ending, but in fairness this might be the most Sunday-scarable day in years

I love LA because we will be like “we have Times Square at home” and it’s just hundreds of people watching a billboard of smoking deaths reset to zero

2025 is ending with the kind of rain that would have prevented the fires that 2025 started with.

I got this lovely book for Christmas this year and it has a whole section on Gals Being Pals!
![Picture this: you're walking around a museum and you see an image of two people, perhaps a man and a woman. They are sitting near each other, but their body language suggests they are, at best, indifferent to one another.
The scene is entitled The Lovers. You move on. So what?
You come to another image of two people.
This time they are the same gender. Perhaps they are two women. They are entwined with one another, or perhaps holding hands, or sharing a warm embrace. Perhaps the image is more abstract and you can only make out a mess of intertwining limbs. The image is called The Friends or maybe The Compan-ions. The label goes on at length to explain how we could not possibly know the relationship between these two women. Who knows what kissing, cuddling, and holding hands could possibly signify?!
Museums are still hesitant to talk about same-sex attraction. Some are getting better and more confident with the topic, but in many cases the histories of LGBTQIA+ people from the past are only spoken of thanks to the efforts of particularly enthusiastic staff and volunteers who feel empowered to share it. Even then, these stories are usually only brought to the fore during LGBTQIA+ History Month or Pride season rather than being shared throughout the year.
"They're just good friends!!!" is the exclamation we've heard over and over again when we see overwhelmingly queer-flavored works of art in museums, but the curator/the institu-tion/the manager who's just a little bit… [trails off to next page]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6ce434323xvm2sglfgeueawc/bafkreiaengnv3x6he6am3ty42gcxzzts6zyux5ehjjeyntv7bbcp2jruby@jpeg)

During the 2012 NH presidential primary RuPaul visited my hometown with little notice. The reason he gave the small crowd gathered semi-spontaneously outside the Red Arrow Diner was to say that “I am NOT Ron Paul.”

I had to go refill a prescription in person during my lunch break and the number of people maskless at the PHARMACY during FLU SEASON makes me lose what little hope I had that we learned even one thing from the pandemic.

Was just shown an ad for Gemini where the entire premise was two parents going back and forth generating videos about how to best gaslight their child after their teddy bear was left on a plane. Just straight up brainstorming lies while burning down the rainforest
