The man who was shot by ICE in ATX on Sunday didn't die, so no one is talking about it on here. He is currently in a detention facility without the use of the left side of his body, with a bullet lodged so close to his spine that it couldn't be removed, and he isn't being given medical attention.

I had such a good time with @ohmymithrandir.bsky.social and @mostalwaysalex.bsky.social honoring Dolly. Always love talking to them, and happy I finally got a few minutes to cry with another redneck about how much we'll miss her. Truly an example of doing the work & no empty promises.

Me and @majora.bsky.social got to cry about Dolly Parton and while the episode is a love letter to her legacy that @mostalwaysalex.bsky.social helped us write, it's also a reminder that saying the right words and picking a side means nothing without direct action. Live like Dolly.

As a young gay kid in the suburbs who loved old monster movies, Rocky Horror saved my life more than once. It made me feel understood, part of a community, and part of a longer history. I, and many others like me, am here in no small part because of Tim Curry’s fearless, exhilarating performances.

It is very hard to care about games right now. Dolly Parton did more for the South, for Tennessee than it's government did. She helped raise literacy rates, helped get people vaccinated, and for many queer Southerners and women refused to play by the rules, she was a beacon.

Usagi Yojimbo is an all-time great so a departure as drastic as Kaito ‘84 felt risky to me. That said, I’m 2 issues in and loving it, it’s a very fun take on the characters and universe.
