My original cartoon drawing Whom You Have Seen still looking for a safe home. I love this one because it expresses a truth that is both biblical and human(e).

i watch tiktok videos and reels constantly and i’ve come to the conclusion that our newest generations have no idea how to lip sync. it’s like they’re a quarter beat off and they’re whispering

if you’ve ever experienced necrotic tissue debridement then you know there are limits to how much pain a human can endure before losing your voice from screaming and slipping into unconsciousness or learning the mystic art/trauma response of disassociation

Equality PAC, the campaigning arm of the Congressional Equality Caucus, announced its endorsement of Marcy Kaptur and other anti-trans Dems days after political ads targeting trans people. Even the LGBTQ+ congressional caucus is throwing trans people aside. Subscribe to support our journalism.

there are humans in prison, right now, having been convicted of the same things that we are letting AI and AI companies get away with. i’m convinced that before i die, AI will have more civil rights than minorities in the united states

This is just horrible. Cowardly and despicable. “The hospitals have agreed to pay fines, and several will provide free medical care to former patients who wish to treat side effects or to ‘detransition.’” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/22/u...

when is it an appropriate time to teach people that “lynching” means death by extrajudicial mob violence by any means and the word they’re looking for is “hanging”? lynching often used hanging as the means of execution but lynching ≠ hanging

Cis people do not understand how much trans people's rights have regressed in just 5 years. 5 years ago, there were none of these restrictions. 19 states banned legal recognition 21 states have bathroom bans 8 states ban gender marker changes on DLs 25 ban gender affirming care for trans youth

No candidate, regardless of party, will ever get my vote if they call me a "biological man" and advocate for laws targeting my community. Its that simple.

Seems like a good time to re-up this post. It is a list of 26 Dems at the statewide/national level that have made anti-trans statements or voted anti-trans policies. I do not advocate for abstaining from all of the ones on this list, but if the worst offenders who call us “biological men,” I do.

Let me tell you a story about how top-end menswear retail transformed over the last hundred years. 🧵
Fiorinamarietta on Threads writes: "The death of department stores as an EXPERIENCE needs to be studied. You used to be able to buy a dress, have lunch, get your hair done, smell every perfume in existence and leave carrying beautifully wrapped boxes. Shopping used to be an event."

I'm tracking anti-trans ad spending live via Meta and Google's political ad libraries. There's an absolute tsunami of it that started in September.
A screenshot of a data dashboard table in the file image_6bc8ec.png tracking political and issue-based advertising metrics. The table is currently sorted by a "LAST SEEN" column in descending order and includes additional columns for "ADVERTISER", "TYPE" (such as org, candidate, or party), "FLAGGED ADS", "DISCLOSED SPEND", "FIRST SEEN", "MAIN THEME", and "REVIEW". The rows display data for various groups and figures, such as Do No Harm Medicine, America PAC, and Alliance Defending Freedom, categorized by themes including "Medical weaponized," "Identity framing," and "Dehumanizing wedge."
