Can't believe a narcissistic vaccine denialist who lives purely online would be a reactionary. You think you know people.

Read to a group of cis people and got asked if I was a standup comic after. Like shooting fish in a barrel.

in short 1. libraries are great but they aren't magic, they're a social good that we need to invest in or that we will lose 2. if you're in florida vote no on 3 if you don't want to have to beg the state legislature separately for every little thing that local government does

I thought the thing a lot of people didn't like about the nebulous woke 1 era, for lack of a better term, was the cynical deployment of identity. But thinking about the depressing trans M4A discourse yesterday, it seems like that's the only thing centrists liked about it. That's the only thing left.

I'm worried that conservatives will remove the environmental protections for the lake I like to swim in by abusing the EPA, so my solution is that we shouldn't have any federal environmental laws. The private market will ensure we never have pollution at my lake. Subscribe to my substack.

I wrote this essay more than three years ago while Gessen was still playing defense for the NYT's anti trans reporting and scolding trans women for daring to disagree with them so I'm not really impressed actually. www.autostraddle.com/overheating-...

When I think about trans people in sports, I don’t think about lobbies or legislation. I think about my friends. Wrote about pick-up hoops, queer community and love:

Column: When I think about transgender people in sports, I think about my friends
Despite the rabid fixation upon the concept of trans women in sports, those who beat the drum the loudest for exclusive policies rarely seem to care about trans people themselves.

One of the reasons many cities are becoming more homogenous and interchangable and boring, especially on the West Coast, is because tech people do not support or see value in the arts. They don't go to the theater or give to local art museums, unlike other rich people.

a lot of what the right does nowadays is create an emotional support system for bigots. bigotry will offend and alienate people in your life, so the right looks provides a counterweight that lavishes you with praise.

If a woman doesn't send a black windowless van to pick you up for your "date" in the secret soundproof room under her house, she isn't worth your time. I don't see why this is controversial.

Your average Republican is a sheep with a cuckold fantasy about the big bad wolf who will jump off a cliff to their death if their Shepard tells them it will hurt immigrants and trans women.

The only responsible attitude for liberals and progressives to align on is that all right-wing grievances, claims and believes are not only false, but malicious lies. Nothing passes the mouth of an American conservative in public life that is not meant to harm and destroy the lives of millions.
