Jared Leto may have a toxic reputation, he may have a wildly unappealing screen presence, but say what you will, he also can't open a movie either.

Trans rights like Palestinian freedom are what many politicians think is okay to ignore/ even compromise on. Meaningful he made this video and with a sense of authenticity that only comes with help from community members.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Ew.

At least lose with dignity and say lettuce.

Do I have to be circumcised or just attend a bris?

Because I wouldn’t mind u locking the tism.

Tom Schaller @schaller67.bsky.social · 1d

And here I thought mine was a basic order.

Darth J.D. @starklyjd.bsky.social · 21h

Absolute basic bitch order:
Plain bagel, toasted, lox, cream cheese, capers, pickled onions and lettuce.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 22h

Tell me your bagel order and I will tell you *based on NYC cultural expectations* if you have won or lost your election for political office in NYC.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 23h

One of my favorite things about NYC is whenever anyone runs for office here they are required to disclose their bagel order.

Darth J.D. @starklyjd.bsky.social · 21h

HBO got a taste of that prestige and forgot their origins (crime and hot naked people).

Thank you.

It was a lot of painting.

Darth J.D. @starklyjd.bsky.social · 1d

Two days later and I have to say, my room looks a lot more interesting.

Just have to do the spot painting around the baseboards and outlets tomorrow.

A room with brown-grey vinyl wood flooring, eggshell walls, and a white ceiling.

There are boxes in the room as well.

There are boxes, paper and discarded painter’s tape on the floor.

For me it came down to avoiding a lot of spicy food and limiting the amount of acidic foods, which sucks because I love Italian and haven’t had like lasagna in years.

But such a simple solution Should have never taken a decade of ER visits and doctors asking if I was sure it’s not cramps.

Darth J.D. @starklyjd.bsky.social · 1d

I went through a decade of being told my emergency room requiring stomach issues were either weight or just me not understanding cramps.

Turns out I have gastritis and certain foods literally cause me to be so sick I can’t keep down water and cause extreme pain.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan forever

Chiitan🌈ちぃたん☆ @chiitan.love · 2d

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

I hope some other studio picks up this after Netflix’s deal is done because the distribution deal to barely release it in theaters is the worst.

Rian Johnson wants to make ‘Knives Out’ movies for the rest of his life

“I don’t feel burnt out doing these at all. If anything I feel energized after doing this one”

His deal to make them at Netflix ends with ‘Wake Up Dead Man’

It’s not unless you’re the sort of parent who had a child for your own selfish desires and don’t see them as a person but a thing that you own for life and intend to train to reflect well on you.

Because then Autism isn’t just a generally manageable diagnosis but proof that your thing is broken.

Darth J.D. @starklyjd.bsky.social · 1d

And this is why I say they need to partner with an actual brand because those prices to get no design and no name?

No way in hell.

Slap a Prada on those basic boot then we can talk.

I try not to judge other religions but there are no sane evangelicals, are there?

Because I have yet to hear of a single one acting like person about anything.

Darth J.D. @starklyjd.bsky.social · 1d

I will never get why these are designer prices.

Because if they are going to cost that much, Star Trek needs to partner with known designers like other brands do.
