You know I've actually be amazing this whole week going about all my little pitches and drafts and such while remaining in total denial about the Paramount settlement. Let's see how long I make it!

Watched KING OF COMEDY (I think my first favorite Scorsese) again last night and Rupert Pupkin would 1000% be one of those guys who posts AI “behind the scenes” videos waving to the camera with Leo and Rihanna or whoever

We are really trying to get one of the juiceless people of all time elected governor out here in Iowa
Politico Interview with Democratic gubernatorial candidate Rob Sand:

You don't want biological boys playing in high school girls' sports?

Whatever it was you said - if you said what I said, then that's what I said. Everybody gets hard on the language; they get mad if you use this word or that word. I just think girls' sports are for girls and boys' sports are for boys. And I think that that's fair and reasonable. But at the same time, look, I respect a woman's right to choose and reproductive freedom. If you want to get a gay marriage, help yourself.

People who are pro-union but not in unions themselves always ask me what they can do to help the labor movement. Here is one thing. Very easy but meaningful.

"Amongst media-aware trans people someone who signed the Harper’s letter is shorthand for this person didn’t give a fuck. This is someone who didn’t care, as fascism rose, whether I lived or died." www.welcometohellworld.com/who-goes-tra...
For trans folks such as myself, the now-infamous Harper’s letter was an obvious anti-trans dogwhistle, and a harbinger of a broader media onslaught to come, signed by a who’s-who of intellectually unserious jerks, many of whom have made it their brand to bully trans people. As trans people (especially in media) we are perpetually aware of our more prominent antagonists.

One thing to keep in mind: Transphobia itself is a delusion. People who’ve fallen for this sort of hateful nonsense aren’t worthy of anyone’s respect, not as intellectuals at least.

On Bluesky, I use an account labeler that warns me when someone was a “Harper’s Signatory.” I admit it always makes me chuckle when I see it pop up. 

Amongst media-aware trans people someone who signed the Harper’s letter is shorthand for this person didn’t give a fuck. This is someone who didn’t care, as fascism rose, whether I lived or died. Who maybe even joined in with the fascists in encouraging my demise. The flames were rising, threatening us, and they eagerly fanned them.

For a trans person such as myself, this assessment regarding who goes transphobe is mostly a matter of safety. Cis people who haven’t yet awoken to what era we are living through, right now, are dangerous — whether they’re merely clueless or actively malicious.

Not an AOC fangirl by any means but I see people criticizing her for this and I gotta say if you don't see the (legitimate) concerns behind the (illegitimate) MAHA "movement" as, at the very least, a political opportunity, you are being willfully obtuse or blinded by privilege or maybe both

Not to be obnoxious but I literally was S1 in college (I hated my college experience and became OCD about beating it) and if I saw a chart like this I would feel even more alienated by the people I was ostensibly supposed to join the workforce with than I already did
