It's kind of crazy that the right wanted to turn Charlie Kirk into their Reichstag Fire, but instead they accidentally turned him into their Harambe

this is such a beautiful read. "Wembanyama seems to be testing another possibility entirely. That awareness need not weaken ambition. That tenderness need not dilute strength. That peace and excellence might belong to one another." - @davidgate.bsky.social davidgate.substack.com/p/wembanyama...

American men (particularly white men) have these violent fantasies of killing anyone who touches their daughter but then a pdfile comes along and they vote for him and put his flag on their truck.

Now that Nigeria has lost and is also not going to the World Cup, I want to say that borders, and the idea of a nation is a fiction that I do not and have no reason to believe in. I’m a child of the world and the cosmos. I belong to the land, the water, the moon and the stars.

I think one of the better, more subtle tributes to Robert Redford's life is the string of utterly iconic female co-stars who've come forward to eulogize him; each of them take-no-shit types like Fonda and Streisand, and every one of them without a single bad thing to say. A model for male behavior

On second thought… (From A Rebellion of Care by David Gate)
NEVER STOP SPAMMING THE TIMELINE
Never stop spamming the timeline
with all the things that you love
if you live in a beautiful place
show me
if you are in love
show me
if you ate something delicious
I wanna see
though I may skip through
the 207th baby pic
by God, still post them
your art, your music,
your kitchen designs
the books you have read
your poems that don't rhyme
fill this life with all you love 
and share the joy with me

This is more than a poem, it’s a call to conscience, courage, and community. In dark times, words like these remind us that resistance rooted in hope and unity is a force no fascism can withstand.

... I believe in what rises after loss, the morning after sorrow, in the old rhythms that outlast our forgetting. The world is full of resurrections. It is enough, sometimes, to plant and to wait, trusting that life will come again in its own time." - @davidgate.bsky.social

Was actually wrong, I'm just two days away form having a full year's worth of stats. It's going to come in at just under 1,100 articles about trans people in the Guardian, Times, Mail and Telegraph over that time, almost all attacks. That's an ave of 3 a day every single day from just those papers

Of course Corey Booker’s feat was performative. He’s performing resistance. The rest of the Dems should try it some time.
