Wifey made "mock apple pie." Basically sugar, butter, brown sugar, and Ritz crackers. Tasted just like apple pie. Weird. Good though.

There’s a desire — consistent with our mh paradigm — to scapegoat individuals for what are clearly systemic failings.

I kind of figured out what I want to do when I grow up. I mean... I want to retire and have a midwestchouse and a room in NYC I can occasionally spend a few weeks in to do comedy. I'm not looking for fame. Just opportunities and location. Idk. Seems silly but it feels like a worthy goal.

As an Xennial I now recognize how good we had it compared to generations after us. Raised at the right time, many of us got VERY LUCKY career wise and maybe we should keep that in mind before turning into our parents.

Voting is easy. If someone has an R next to their name... They're probably not worth voting for. They have thrown their lot on with the evil GOP. So... This is not a both sides statement...

Any trans-femme writers in PDX who would like to do a writers meetup? It would be a combination get-together, writing session, and craft talk. The only criteria are that you are transfeminine and serious about your writing, whether you’ve sold anything or not. Please share with your Portland pals!

it is interesting that I can't find any mainstream media coverage of Altman's sister Annie going viral on social media over the weekend for uploading footage of the first hour of her deposition in her lawsuit against him (one of two) in which she is alleging years of CSA

Graham Linehan is calling the people who murdered a trans man in cold blood, heroes.

Screenshot of an X post by Graham Linehan (@Glinner) commenting, "It looks like these two are heroes who may have saved some kids".
Linehan quotes a post by Andy Ngo (@MrAndyNgo) that reads: "Damn. According to a witness of the shooting homicide of the trans New York Times executive in Dublin, Calif., the elderly Chinese grandparents calmly walked away after the exec was dropped to the ground".
Below the text are two police mugshot photos side by side: on the left is an elderly Asian woman with short, wavy gray hair wearing a white shirt, and on the right is an elderly Asian man with short dark hair, slight facial stubble, and a white shirt.

Your periodic reminder that people concerned over women's safety in college sports would find a more target-rich environment in frat houses, rather than trans people in locker rooms. None of the #Cornell7 needed to go through the trouble of being trans to rape a woman.

The knowledge doesn’t supply the purpose someone puts it to. “Never again” and “next time, more effectively” can come from reading the same book.

It's just after 1pm on another picture perfect fall day in Chicago. So far today, masked federal agents have taken people from Brighton Park and suburban Aurora. ~1 year after the "Blitz" began, the alerts haven't subsided. ICE is still breaking windows and destroying worlds.

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
