and when I said “the violence is already here” I also meant: the actual police

feels like yet again time to mention that the *videogames* industry (that's a creative industry, which people do creative degrees in) brings in more than twice the amount to the British economy as the fishing and steel industries *combined*

happy halloween, support the freaks you enjoy because i promise you, we are all struggling for any kind of income right now

It's Lesbian Visibility Day, and I see that Bookshop is having FREE SHIPPING until the day's over, so it's clearly time for some lesbian horror 🌈😈

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

fucked up that this is all just landlords swatting their own buildings to get rid of all the working class residents so they can raise the rent or sell to a developer who'll flip them into high end condos or w/e

like it's a real estate scam! it's a fucking land grab! a fire for the insurance money!

Can you believe there is a contingent of people who think this Supernatural Season 7 villain is the future and a bunch of them post on here

I never want another poor teenager to have those feelings I had and every day I am devastated at the idea that it is even worse for them now

So we gotta make it better. We gotta keep fighting. ESPECIALLY cis folks and people with voices and privilege and resources.

Cause they deserve better.

Now if you look at where we are today and how it is literally impossible to go a single day without some news story about how we are a social plague or violent terrorists or disgusting perverts

Think about the toll

Not just on us who are out, but the folks who are still trapped where I was

Society's view of trans people (and this was in the mid-2000s which was the height of Mrs. Garrison and other nightmare shit) is so deeply damaging and harmful that it made me terrified to get support and love from a parent because I didn't think anyone COULD love a freak like I was inside

i’d day this nails the South as well

If Democrats want to stop fascism, they have to stop their cops from beating & arresting anti-fascism protesters in their own cities

Why is that a thing I have to say out loud

Weird how they put all their efforts into using technology to replace human creativity and art and then say creative arts degrees are useless.

Actually @governor.ca.gov has until Friday to sign the bills.

Call his office and demand he sign them.

The hold times were long— they offer a VM option if you can't stay on. Let him know the political price he'll pay if he fails to stand up for a community under attack.

7 Oct 2025 - CA Gov Newsom, still moving right on trans issues, vetoes a measure attacked by Reps as "gender ideology" that would have allowed teaching that reproductive anatomy does not necessarily determine a person’s gender @rikiwilchins.bsky.social.

Could someone cool please start a press. There are so many great hires rattling around out there right now. I KNOW some of you are out here having secret money

I think something we have to do more of is talk about how kickass a lot of American cities are because right now some people think they’re run by Sharia Law nudists and most of us never thought to counter that argument because it’s stupid and doesn’t make any sense

"Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia" should be how Democrats begin every single comment to reporters these days.

NEW VIDEO ALERT! Today on Bar Cart Bookshelf we're talking about SUMMER IN THE HOUSE OF THE DEPARTED by Josh Rountree. A sere novella of death & haunting in east Texas, a mournful & moving read, cut through with ghosts & the dry burning heat of surreality. Our drink, a mocktail, is the Safeheart.

Yeah what’s remarkable about Trump’s tariffs is that he’s both implementing them by executive fiat and then spending them by executive fiat, both of which are profoundly, extremely, couldn’t-be-more unconstitutional

She’s left us no choice. It’s time for Isaac Chotiner to interview Bari Weiss.

Causing pain, inflicting harm, and breaking a person's will.

I need people to stop referring to conversion "therapy" as something that's been discredited or doesn't work. That's like saying torture is "discredited" or doesn't work. That they don't work for their stated purpose is secondary to the fact that they DO work for their REAL purpose:
