Senior Mary Beth Campbell wrote about the successful effort to update Louisiana's HIV criminalization law—famously one of the most restrictive and punitive in the United States—to reflect modern scientific knowledge around HIV transmission. antigravitymagazine.com/feature/dete...

Detectable Freedom: The Law Catches Up to the Science of HIV with Act 177 - ANTIGRAVITY Magazine

For many across Louisiana, the 2026 state legislative session was overwhelming and disheartening. Amidst the chaos, however, there were a few victories, including the passage of Act 177, which updates...

Seconding this. Your anger is completely rational and justified, and it is fucking infuriating that we have to still yell about this sort of thing over and over. 🖤

It seems like basically every femme musician in New Orleans was at the Amyl and the Sniffers show last night, which was absolutely lovely to behold (the show was also boss). 🖤

My mom and aunt used to take me on shopping trips to Vancouver when I was a child, and they would always stock up on Coffee Crisps (and the good Kit Kats, Smarties, and Aeros). It's been years since I had one, you have inspired me to seek them out once again.

Honorable mentions include, but are not limited to: Any sketch where Dave Foley is doing Isabella Rosellini in "Blue Velvet" drag; the Hudson Bay trappers; Apocalypse DJ; Tammy (especially "Roses," which I have convinced myself references the band Book of Love; and Buddy Cole (almost any).

It is such a small thing (and the bar is in hell), and also it was much-appreciated

Shout out to my boxing coach, who, after a 30 Seconds to Mars song started playing in the gym and I told him that the lead singer is a rapist, walked over and changed the song without saying anything or needing any further explanation.

A few years ago, a friend was approached by two Mormon missionaries in the Capitol Hill neighborhood in Seattle (?!), and she felt bad for them because they were totally barking up the wrong tree. I choose to believe that the experience opened their eyes to different possibilities.

I had to dodge a pair of Mormon missionaries yesterday on my evening run - I live in New Orleans, good luck to those lads.

Anyway. It's fitting that I am back home in the PNW on this anniversary of "Nevermind," at a time when I find myself thinking more and more about the past and the passage of time and grief in its many forms, and what a gift it is to age. Thanks for writing this, @nikostratis.com

much of a hold Nirvana still has on Seattle culture, and it took a lot of restraint to not get on my soapbox about the music and why it still has a hold all over the world. There is a lot more that I could say, and maybe I will write about it one day, if only for myself.

I was a little too young (5) to remember "Nevermind" when it first came out, and I do not remember exactly when I first heard Nirvana, but it has obviously been a major part of my life for longer than not, like part of the fabric of me. A few years ago, someone in NOLA made a crack about how 1/2

"That the words that once told of grief and sinful things have become something new for kids as they grow old is a blessing Kurt Cobain never got to see. It’s no miracle to be old, but it will feel like magic sometimes."

Change of plans: DJ SightUnseen is going to cover for me tonight (I will be back Friday, 10/9)! He is an excellent DJ and human, so y'all are in for a musical treat. 🖤

Okay, the set is much more chill than I originally planned, but it is going to get groovier, please trust.

Tonight's unofficial theme (for half of the show, anyway) is "MB pretending that she was given an opening spot at Danceteria circa 1986," let's see if I pull it off.

I do not know why I remember this when there are like 30,000 other things that my brain needs to retain but doesn't: The K-Pop band Big in Korea is a cheeky little reference to Adam Brody's former band Big in Japan!

There are two seasons, not sure if a third one is in the works, but if it does end up being only two seasons I think it wraps up the story well.

Okay, there are a lot of people recommending shows I would also recommend, so here is one that hasn't come up: "A Thousand Blows," which is a period drama set in East London in the 1880s, with intersecting stories about boxing, The 40 Elephants female crime gang, race, gender, class, & more.

Final thing: It was super sweet seeing so many young people lose their minds at seeing Bikini Kill, The Breeders, and Garbage for the first time and taking in everything Kathleen, Kim, and Shirley had to say with rapt attention. They've been dealt a lousy hand, but a lot of these kids are alright.

Mary Beth Campbell @mbcampbell360.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

And, sure, maybe the messages didn't reach everyone. But they reached a lot of people, and across a wide age range, and that is not nothing. And it was also just nice being at a festival that felt safe and, though they were welcome, was not designed for cis men.

Mary Beth Campbell @mbcampbell360.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I was there and can confirm that it was actually a really lovely and, dare I say, hopeful day. Like you, I am also cynical about modern pop, but, amidst all the poppy sheen, so much care was really put into uplifting the orgs that were benefited, along with other social and political issues.

Just left the inaugural Daisy Chains Field festival. I am tired and my thoughts are muddled, but it was so moving to see 45,000 people come together in community and music. Here is a bad photo of Bikini Kill making Riot Grrrl history and performing "Rebel Girl' with Emily's Sassy Lime.

Vote in every local election. And once you start learning about how important your county coroner is in determining if someone died from an illness or if a death was a criminal act, you’ll have a whole new thing to get mad about.

In 40 years on this planet, in literally every instance where I have witnessed someone being harassed (or have been harassed myself), not once have I experienced a cis man standing up to help with the situation. Other women and queer people, yes, almost always. But never cis men.

The reason why people think Dolly was “politically neutral” is because they don’t understand being political as a series of actions born of commitment to an idea. Being political as defined by the pundit class is to be in front of a microphone delivering sound bytes, it’s something to be devoured

Niko's rant about the need for safe drug supply (and general harm reduction) is my fucking fight song, thank you x 1,000,000 (and Alex for shouting out the Crackdown podcast). I have so much more to say (but shouldn't do so on social media, because of my day job), but thank you again. 🖤

Hey Danny, sorry, but I think you should write this, and also tie it into the bigger story of how Louisiana politics has shaped U.S. politics (editor's note, take it or leave it).
