All I want is for one of them to say something like “Look, I know this is a narrative that Republicans are trying to push but there is absolutely no current issue with ‘men trying to take over women’s sports.’ It’s not happening, no one’s in danger, it’s all made up.”

there’s a difference between celebrating someone’s death and celebrating that they are no longer in a position to do great and immeasurable harm to people around the world because they are dead you can do both tho I ain’t gonna judge

At the eve of the summer solstice, I pick seven different flowers, in seven different fields, all in complete silence. I tie them into a bouquet and put it under my pillow. Doing so means that tonight, I will dream of my true love. I already live with her, but I like dreaming of her too.

I just discovered that @tkingfisher.com has written a middle-grade retelling of Tatterhood! Due out in February! If anyone was born to adapt a fairy tale about an unprincessy princess who rides a goat and fights with a wooden spoon, it is Ursula Vernon.

We had a nest on the roof of the library where I work. Last Friday, when the babies hatched, was the happiest/least productive workday in a long time. This was the view out my office window.

Something I've been toying with for a while is trying to reframe the nature of the Hellenistic gods to make their portfolios make a bit more sense. For example, Dionysius is not just the God of Wine, but the god of Altered States: alcohol, yes, but also drugs, wild revels, acting, madness

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time. Time to claim your true history.

I really don’t understand why it’s so hard for certain people to understand that Mamdani is doing so well because he is advocating for more than “keep Trump from taking the few good and/or semi-decent things that remain” and is articulating a real vision for how to make New York better.

reposting with alt text because I think the choice to include homophobia and transphobia in particular here is actually very much worth drawing attention to. nuns emphatically stating that those “do not reflect the qualities of a saint” is a very clear callout of Cardinal Dolan

<
Sisters of Charity, New York 20h • ©
Several of us watched Cardinal Dolan's recent FOX interview, where he referred to Charlie Kirk as "a modern-day St. Paul." The Cardinal praised Mr. Kirk's conviction and willingness to speak about the Lord and for being a model for young people looking for meaning in their lives.
We grieve every loss of life and unequivocally condemn the killing of Mr. Kirk.
What Cardinal Dolan may not have known is that many of Mr. Kirk's words were_ marked by racist, homophobic, transphobic, and anti-immigrant rhetoric, by violent pro-gun advocacy, and by the promotion of Christian nationalism. These prejudicial words do not reflect the qualities of a saint. To compare Mr. Kirk to St. Paul risks confusing the true witness of the Gospel and giving undue sanction to words and actions that hurt the very people Jesus calls us to love.
Just last week, Cardinal Dolan joined us in celebrating the 50th anniversary of the canonization of our Foundress, St. Elizabeth Ann Seton. Elizabeth's legacy is not one of exclusion or hatred, but of radical welcome, tireless service, and unwavering love of neighbor. Many of Mr. Kirk's words stand in stark contrast to the charity and compassion that defined those of Elizabeth Seton.

For generations, the Sisters of Charity of New York have cared for immigrant families arriving with nothing but hope.
While our direct service has changed, our commitment to those families endures. They deserve true examples of discipleship, not false prophets.
In this moment, we reaffirm our mission: to walk with all people who are poor and marginalized, to welcome immigrants and refugees, to defend the dignity of LGBTQ+ persons, and to labor for peace in a world saturated with violence. These are the marks of authentic discipleship. These are the qualities of saints.
We urge our Church leadership, including Cardinal Dolan, to lift up witnesses whose lives truly reflect the Gospel of Jesus Christ - lives of humility, justice, compassion, and peace.
We will continue to pray for Mr. Kirk, his family and for all who mourn his loss.
Leadership Team, Sisters of Charity of New York
Sr. Donna Dodge, Sr. Margaret O'Brien, Sr. Mary Mc Cormick, Sr. Mary Ann Daly, Sr. Sheila Brosnan, Sr.

only so many words you can put in a headline but the whole response is loud and proud support for the trans community and worth reading

Given the chance to respond to Leavitt’s remarks by Collins on the Thursday The Source, Daskalakis said, “I have for my entire career been an advocate for the LGBTQ community... I find it outrageous that this administration is trying to erase transgender people.”

“I very specifically used the term pregnant people, and very specifically added my pronouns at the end of my resignation letter to make the point that I am defying this terrible strategy at trying to erase people and not allowing them to express their identities,” he continued.

“So I accept the note from the press secretary, and counter that with: I don‘t care.”
