I really enjoyed working on this piece on horror, the haunted house, and the politics of housing with @freeblackgirl.bsky.social for @theflytrapmedia.com; what makes it even better is this KILLER illustration from @meowwwls.bsky.social
This is the kind of cultural criticism I love doing!

1. Today, powerful speeches from trans representatives in Montana SJ Howell and Zooey Zephyr flipped 29 Republicans, killing anti-trans bills.
While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation.

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns.
100% of his salary is paid by WA state.
Elon fired him. Share his story.

Is there a way to get people who believe in human rights for everyone to all collectively start using they/them? This is what comes to my mind when reading the news. What would happen if 75,017,626 people all decided to refute the old gender dichotomy at the same time?

NEW! from me for @theflytrapmedia.bsky.social: I wrote about the degradation of reality, the internet slop grift, and the terrifying ways so-called "AI" has been marketed as a technology that is somehow beyond human ken or responsibility.

So-called ‘AI,’ performative ignorance, and old-fashioned human assholery are degrading reality as we know it.

Fun fact: if you're buying from a creator on etsy, you can reduce their etsy selling fees from 6.5% to 2.5% by ordering via 'shopname.etsy.com' instead of 'etsy.com/shopname' or searching from the main site. It costs you the same but the creator makes more

This attack on free speech comes at the same time that legislators in Texas are proposing bills to make pro-choice websites illegal.

Just days after Trump returned to the White House, Instagram is censoring abortion content. This is what Aid Access' account looks like right now - posts about how to get abortion medication has been blurred out.

Funds to encourage electric-vehicle sales, manufacturing are enshrined in legislation - a president can't unilaterally repeal. Trump also cannot revoke rules that the Treasury Department, other government agencies established to determine how the money would be handed out with a stroke of the pen.
