I put out my album Zephyr five years ago today, and it’s only become even more meaningful to me since then 💜 so glad I was able to make this art that helped me express some of my deepest feelings and eventually emerge a much happier person 💁🏻‍♀️ music is magic! 🎶 livelovejmac.bandcamp.com/album/zephyr

Yooooo it’s Bandcamp Friday so you should check out my music 💃🏻 Coming up on five years this month since I last released anything but I wanna change that soon! And the tunes I put out years ago were streets ahead anyway, it’s not too late to catch the wave 🌊 livelovejmac.bandcamp.com/album/all-yo...

I'm just leaving this open and playing audio in a separate browser tab. At some point MF Doom is going to start rapping over it.

this is fuckin inspiring, man. it is so cool to see a superstar talent in a position of union leadership sticking her neck out to make such a measured but incisive statement

Napheesa Collier's full statement at the beginning of her exit interview.

She directly quotes conversations with Cathy Englebert that legitimately call into question how the WNBA is being led. (Part 1/2) #WNBASky

What's great about getting older is I can sample the horrible clicking noises in my knees and use them as hats in hip hop beats

And I’ll say that this is the maybe the most likable group of players the Knicks have had in my ~25 years of fandom, some of whom were apparently close enough with a trans woman for this to happen, and they now have a real chance to step up and be allies and enact a positive change. I hope they do.

J Mac @livelovejmac.bsky.social · 12d

I’ll still be rooting for the Knicks because I’m a NY hooper who loves the game and these players, and sports teams are always much bigger than their owners. The Knicks were New York’s before JD was born and will likely be after he’s dead, plus most of these billionaire owners are roughly as awful

J Mac @livelovejmac.bsky.social · 12d

I’ve long avoided spending any money on the Knicks that would directly enrich their ownership. I’ve been to four games at MSG in my life and never bought any of those tickets myself. Even most of the team gear I have has been bought secondhand. If this BS isn’t addressed, that’ll definitely continue

J Mac @livelovejmac.bsky.social · 12d

Sadly I’m not shocked at this behavior from the Knicks higher-ups (this isn’t even the worst thing they’ve done to a woman in my time as a fan, look up Anucha Browne Sanders) but if we let stuff like this slide with no scrutiny it’ll keep getting worse. Don’t let these dirtbags treat us like this.

J Mac @livelovejmac.bsky.social · 12d

As both a trans woman and lifelong Knicks fan, I have to say that this is really fucked up 😡 Hoping to see the media dive deeper into this story and ask the players about it, and hope the players loudly stick up for their friend being discriminated against and take the organization to task about it

Bobby Silverman @robertsilverman.bsky.social · 13d

some truly effed up allegations in this lawsuit filed against James Dolan/MSG: using facial recognition tech/running background checks on fans who shouted "sell the team"; spying on a trans woman because ownership was concerned she was too friendly w/the Knicks cdn.pacermonitor.com/public/case/...

Ok so I jumped on the Magdalena Bay train when Mercurial World dropped but their new album is somehow even more mind-blowing 🤯 masterful from front to back, immaculately crafted, filled with fine detail and boundless wonder in equal measure. “Say hello, it’s you” 💿 open.spotify.com/album/4HTy9W...

If one party is not brave enough to truly say that religion has no place in public policy, we are going to be fighting a losing battle against theocracy.

Trans journalists can’t be the only ones to take this stance, cis allies step the fuck up

this article deserves a full retraction. nothing less.

if they do not do this, i will no longer link to WSJ reporting from this account, or in my future stories.

Ammunition engraved with transgender and antifascist ideology was found inside the rifle authorities believe was used in Kirk’s shooting, sources say.

Saying this again and this time you can add The Wall Street Journal

J Mac @livelovejmac.bsky.social · May 12

“The Great Read” 🤦🏻‍♀️ The New York Times is literally a MAGA propaganda arm at this point, and we frankly need the people who consider themselves to be serious journalists to be much louder about how both the NYT and Washington Post are completely failing to uphold basic journalistic practices now
