This moment, these people, this writing… Necessary. Incandescent. The civil rights leaders of our generation forming in real time Charged by joy, by community

It was a delight to catch a glimpse of Khalil in the throes of laughter. He laughed as though each laugh were a physical vessel urgently exiting his body, or a secret he'd held for so long that it had forced its way out. Khalil's body jerked forward when he laughed-his laughter was more of a kinetic event than a sonic one. He rocked, he shook slightly, and he smiled wide. One seat over, Mamdani laughed, too, with a bit more volume; his laughter seemed to arrive less like a long-held secret than like an idea that he couldn't wait to share. Most of the audience didn't know that the two men were in the room, and because of this most of the audience missed out on the small miracle of watching them share their joy at the scene before them.

When someone was adamant that you were wrong about something & you knew absolutely you were right, you couldn’t just call up proof on your pocket wizard. You just had to fester. Or turn it into a whole thing.

As the Governor of Utah, hardly a woke scold, said when he vetoed a trans kids in sports bill, “Rarely has so much fear & anger been directed at so few.” Allowing our smallest most vulnerable population to be scapegoated as a wedge issue towards full fascism is now added to our list of sins.

Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just trying to find some friends and feel like they are a part of something. Four kids trying to get through each day. Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few. I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live. And all the research shows that even a little acceptance and connection can reduce suicidality significantly. For that reason, as much as any other, I have taken this action in the hope that we can continue to work together and find a better way.

You cannot play director or choreographer for moments of organic mobilization. I'm sorry, but even someone who understands the dynamics of what's happening (which many of you clearly don't) cannot do that. This is raw political will. You cannot direct that energy from behind a fucking screen.

A deep loss My mother’s response (has been sewing since the 50s)

A text from my mum follows a gif of a McCall’s pattern illustration dancing in a yellow checked suit & reads:

I certainly should have sufficient patterns to last my lifetime, but the ability to go on my own and browse and select and purchase with my own funds a pattern to create my own clothes is one of my earliest memories of independence. Of course, the pattern only cost a dime back then, and I could ride on my bike to the little grocery at Rockford, which of course sold fabric and patterns. Even when we moved to Palos Verdes, I could have done the same, although not for a dime, and usually accompanied by small people.

My number one LDR will always be first song we ever heard her play, in a songwriter contest in 2006. She was still a teenager, so sweet & shy. Played one quiet chord & the room fell silent. www.tumblr.com/dunnraw/1040...

New York's budget is late, partly because Hochul is trying to force through unpopular policies like a mask ban. Unions, healthcare workers, civil rights groups, and many legislators are opposing the ban. But she hasn’t backed down – so we can’t either. #NoNYMaskBan 🧵

🚨 DEADLINE EXTENDED 🚨
KEEP CALLING TO
STOP NY'S MASK BAN
Gov Hochul is pushing dangerous anti-mask policy in the state budget, which is already overdue. This proposal relies on biased enforcement and criminalizes public health.
Call your legislators TODAY!
Tell them to reject this in the budget.

Yeah, I played in the 90s, & while we did have a woman’s team, we played co-ed sevens all the time. I took down any number of men. Plenty of cis women could easily toss me through the air. Trans exclusion rules are not just anti-human rights, they’re anti-science, anti-sport, & anti-sense.

Name a movie that you saw, that was good/excellent, but that you can never watch again. Belladonna of Sadness. Exquisite hand-drawn animation that I can never watch again but never have to because it’s still seared into my brain. Was billed as “feminist erotica.” So much rape.
