Text reads, "60 years,126 lbs, 5'6"...2 years at my present job... I do love numbers, but they do not define me."
Two pics, side by side of me sitting cross-legged on a car roof, wearing dark sunglasses, a white crop top, and black leggings with a red cherry design.  In the left image my arms are spread out to the sky, & my head is turned to the viewer's right. In the right image my hands are down on my legs, & I am staring towards the viewer.  The sky is blue, with small fluffy clouds.

I'm going to share this again, though we are a few days past the Kirk-n-Spurt Anniversary.. Not just because it's hilarious, which it is, Nor because it's drawn so well, with a sketchy-ness that belies the talent behind it... But because I want to see it everywhere in a year.

Just once in my life I would like to see a Democrat being interviewed by right wing media like Fox News or right wing media like every single other outlet treat their questions with the contempt they deserve. I know it's not going to fix everything or maybe even anything but how much coverage and how much groundswell of excitement from the base do you think it would inspire if when asked about "boys in girls sports" or some other stupid fucking culture war distraction one of them finally said "What the fuck are you talking about man? You sound like a dumb asshole right now."

What's the worst that's going to happen the New York Times is gonna work overtime to make sure you don't get elected? They were already doing that buddy.

You simply say "Are you stupid? Do you think I am stupid? And do you think all of the people watching at home are stupid? Everyone sees through what you are doing. Using one group as a scapegoat for the very real problems everyone has – all caused by Republicans by the way – unlike this fake one you have made up. Dumb asshole."

Just go on the attack for once instead of sitting there trying to please your enemy who is in the process of trying to humiliate you.

And if you want to say something else true that almost no Democrat ever says for some reason you can top it off with a “Every single Republican in our lifetime has sought to make our lives worse in every way possible. I’d like to try to stop that.”

This one comes from our long-standing, ongoing investigation into SEGM, which has been listed by the SPLC as a hate group. TLDR: SEGM spent over $300k on research which led to "science" that has now been used to influence medical guidance, federal policy, and state law against trans people.

Yet DOJ's own docs show, claims of a 10-year-old forced into "gender reassignment surgery" may be based on one possibly overheard statement. My story:

Absolutely incredible watching the same ghouls who spent years vilifying trans people moving on to do the same to people with autism.
A screenshot of a social media post from the account gript (@griptmedia). The text of the post reads: "STELLA O’MALLEY on the harm caused by an overdiagnosis of autism. The concept of an autism spectrum is 'close to collapse' as it has become 'so inclusive it is meaningless'. Diagnoses are fast becoming a reflexive response to the problems of living."
​Below the text is a truncated link to a gript.ie article and a stock photo. The photo shows a somber, red-haired child resting their head on the arm of a grey sofa, looking toward the camera. A hand rests gently on the child's back, and in the blurred foreground, a man wearing glasses sits facing the child. The bottom of the post indicates it was last edited at 6:50 AM on Apr 28, 2026, and has 1,394 views.
