This movie deserved the world. I wrote my first published fanfic, at age 50-something, after watching it.

This sentient bottle of hair gel hates unhoused people, has thrown trans kids under the bus, and is protecting billionaires. He is white mediocrity embodied.

Every time a historical costumer posts that they’ve modified a technique to allow for not getting fucking heat stroke, people have a cow. Gonna let you in on a little secret that is not at all secret, you just don’t get it: Climate change completely aside, it was colder in the past.

The GOP are obsessed with trans medical care. Another proof they have zero issues to run on so they make them up as they go. Before they banned abortion it was always abortion. Today it's trans. They have no interest in democracy or governing our nation.

there’s something very midcentury about Ossoff’s look & cadence to me—he reads like the kind of American you’d see in a studio movie about virtuous but angry Americans. I think part of it is that he’s grave when something requires gravity, much like AOC, not trying to ingratiate himself to you

I’m in DC scheduled to give this talk today. But the organizers flagged slides in my deck that mention racism, structural gaslighting, New Jim Code and other themes that are off limits in the Land of the Free.

the Washington Post piece about declining LGBTQ kids is transparently designed to convince conservatives (and democrats with no moral backbone) that targeting queers *is* working to get rid of us, that it *is* social contagion, despite both things not being true.

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.
Six small line charts showing the percent of U.S. high school students choosing each sexual identity response option by grade (9th to 12th), 2015 to 2025, with 95% confidence intervals. Heterosexual falls from about 85 to 90 percent before 2021 to about 73 percent in 2021 and 2023, then rises to about 78 to 80 percent in 2025. Gay or lesbian stays between about 2 and 5 percent throughout. Bisexual rises to about 12 percent in 2021 in every grade, then among 9th graders falls to about 7 percent in 2025, its 2019 level, while other grades stay near 10 percent. “Some other way,” added in 2021, falls from about 4 percent to about 2.5 percent. “Not sure” stays near 3 to 5 percent. A dotted line marks 2021, when CDC changed the response options.

There is a direct line from Newsom and Buttigieg running around the country a year ago saying "we have some concerns about trans people" to Democrats openly using anti-trans slurs in campaign ads today. It's why we pushed back so hard then. We knew where it would lead. And we know where this goes.

A new study of the Indus Valley city of Mohenjo-daro (c. 2600–1900 BCE) indicates that egalitarian structures increased there with the expansion of the city. Perhaps urbanism doesn’t always conjure inequality? Really wish that David Graeber was still here to read this.

defenders of rape jokes would not say, "You have to be able to joke about that sort of thing." That would say, "That's not funny!" They don't really believe that everything is fair game for jokes. They're just haggling about the price, as it were.

Miniskirts were a major fashion trend she liked, Whitney sold Nichols and the team on the look, and it took off. The mid-1960s and into the 70s had a view on minis that would change radically, esp. in the Reagan years. We tend to forget that and assume...well, you know.

Oh! Time for a weird Trek fact: the Miniskorts (not really skirts) were Grace Lee Whitney's idea. As the lead woman when the show got a full season run (Yeoman Rand was supposed to be a major character), she had pull.

If children had any political power, instead of being treated like property, we wouldn't be in such a mess. Exhibit A: Attacks on Critical Race Theory started in schools as "parents' rights" and book bans-- within 7 years, this morphed into an anti-DEI purge of adults in workplaces and academia.
