Queerness will remain political until you actually separate church from state.

Deal with it.

this "big age" shit is something that started with 14 yos in the most toxic corners of fandom so im pretty sure we can lose this for good thanks 👍
Who wrote this? Can we not say that 35 is a "big age," please?? It makes it sound like we have one foot in the grave.

And sure, HR has given me something to live for while our Democracy collapses into Facism, but it's not because I'm old, it's because I'm human. ✌️

TY for coming to my Ted Talk.
Has Heated Rivalry ignited (or reignited) your fandom at a big age (over 35)? What's that like?

I'm doing a special edition (digital only!) of "Act Your Age: Fandom at 35+ and Beyond" Send your short (500-1200 word) essays/rants.

Deadline: February 2, 2026

Duh, America! Of course real life far right extremists with extremist affiliations are in ICE. And your local police too! They gravitate to that work because it aligns with what they're all about. That's where those folks are going in our society.

How much more in your face can it be?

"Because of your accent."
"You have an accent too."

My manifesto: Podcasts should not have sets. Podcasts should be made by little weirdos who you see a picture of ten years later and you're like "that was not what I was picturing at all". A podcast is not something you "watch". Also obviously and always Fuck Newsom

When I look at fascism throughout history I regularly think "this happened bc the population protested and resisted the secret police too much. I wish they had chilled out, demonstrated proper civility so as not to earn the already occurring oppression, and let the fascist lose the next election

in before someone says, "fandom people always ruin things" NO. if you are actually in a fandom *community* you would have learned how to fucking behave, because someone who had been there longer would have taught. if you act like an asshole, nobody wants you in their community.
Hi, bisexual romance writer here to tell you harrassing real-life bisexual actors is a shit thing to do and people need to learn some goddamn boundaries.

(This post is about Canadian treasure François Arnaud who’s been really doing some emotional work as an out queer dude on the PR circuit.)

Angie Craig is now arguing for the brilliant reform of ... making ICE wear body cameras.

Angie, Jonathan Ross filmed himself killing a woman on his own phone and released it to the press.

In life David Lynch was known widely for being the absolute king of weird beard arthouse filmmakers. In death, he is known mostly for his kindness, work ethic, and just being an all around rad person that made films HIS way. And I absolutely love that. What a legacy.

Rest in peace, king.

I don't want ICE to leave Minnesota. I want them not to exist at all.

No community deserves what is happening to our state.

Please, if you live somewhere else, know that you will be next unless we shut this whole thing down.

The Minneapolis AFL-CIO calling for a general strike is a big deal and we should treat it like a big deal.

Also it's a good idea. LFG

“No one really dies, they just drop their physical body, and we’ll all meet again, like the song says. It’s sad, but it’s not devastating if you think like that. It’s a continuum, and we’re all going to be fine at the end of the story.”

These escalating cruel tactics is exactly why we need the immigrant protections bill package signed into law.

Protecting our neighbors can't wait. @govmurphy.bsky.social sign S5036/A6308, S5037/A6309, and S5038/A6310 into law NOW. #NJforall

There is a clear undercurrent of violence against queer women from ICE.

If a woman isn't interested in them, she's a 'fucking bitch' who becomes disposable at best and in need of violent 'correction' at worst.

It's immigrants on the surface, and queer people incidentally today. Tomorrow it's you.
“When I was in the cell, I overheard a woman asking to call her girlfriend, and I started crying because I just thought of Renee, and I thought of my girlfriend and this girl. And I was like, ‘Why are so many lesbians being fucked up by ICE right now?’”
