This is Maeve. She may be the sweetest, most good natured, most trusting dog I have ever met. She was abandoned in DC last week, and since I’m not able to adopt a dog now, I had to turn her over to the Brandywine Animal Shelter. I want to make sure this absolute delight of a dog finds a good home.

NDAs are gone when someone dies. Not surprise here. Graham enjoyed:
jamesissmiling

Just woke up to find out Lindsey Graham is
dead?? 101??? Most of you know him as the
homophobic senator from South Carolina but
to me he will always be the man who paid a
twinky pre-transition college student ({&) a fat
stack of cash to do unspeakable things to him
in a hotel room while he wore red lingerie @
It is a canon trans event to have far right
freaks bankrolling you & then turning around
and voting against you. People loooooove to
judge us for it but I never see them opening
their wallets!!! Shoutout to s*x workers
everywhere forced to humanize their enemies
just to make rent.
jamesissmiling & =
2/3
It is an absolute mindfvck too me that one of the
reasons [ have any semblance of financial security
(& a lack of student loans) is because of this man.
At the time I had no idea who he was, and I only
figured it out because another group or twinks
leaked Lady G to the media. Some queers tried to
grandstand critique this, saying we shouldn't “out”
people. I believe bigots with power deserve no
peace or privacy, especially when they hold public
office. I'm glad they did it. Icons, forever.
Anyway, if you've ever enjoyed what I do on the
internet know that it is in part because of
Lindsey’s generous donation over a decade ago. If
I've ever sent you $ for something know that was
kickstarted by the now deceased sissy senator
from South Carolina.
jamesissmiling & =
3/3
Lindsey, rest in hell for what
you did to our community.
I will continue to love queer and
trans people harder than you
ever hated us. You loved every
second of our time together and
now everyone knows @

Screencap of a toot dated June 28 2026 by Ian Bremmer, which reads as follows: ""you ingested the entire written output of
human civilization without consent,
without compensation and without credit
to build a system whose primary
commercial application is eliminating the
jobs of the people whose work you
consumed.
you are not 'liberating human creativity' -
you are strip-mining it and selling it back
at a markup while calling the theft
'training data'."
