It’s so funny to me that everyone regards kill your gays as a terrible trope, that RTD is considered THE writer for dramas about gay men, that he kills his gay men characters EVERY TIME, and yet every time he’s praised as ‘so vital’ ‘so timely’ ’a wake up call.’ Explain it to me like I’m 5, honestly

Remember when Iranian protesters were being leveraged to manufacture consent for this war? Now, Trump calls all Iranians "animals" and says he will bomb the country "into the Stone Age."

I am in Muncie Indiana this week doing research for my book about the Klan-fighting editor George Dale. 104 years ago tonight was the moment that everything changed for George. I spent this evening in an empty lot thinking about the porous lines between then and now. dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

Yesterday ago, there was one extant episode of Doctor Who featuring Katarina. Today, there are three. If the number of Katarina episodes continues to triple every day then there will be well over seven hundred sextillion Katarina episodes by the end of April. This growth is unsustainable.

One thing that has never made sense to me: if space is spelt with a ‘c’ and special is spelt with a ‘c’, then why on Earth is spatial spelt with a ‘t’?!

“You can be Pro-Palestinian and condemn the antisemitic Bondi Beach attack.” It’s not just that two things can be true at the same time. It’s that both things necessitate the other.

Whenever something like the horrific attack on Bondi Beach happens, the rush to frame it as an individual act of hatred, an individual tragedy, divorced from political context, makes me feel like I’m losing touch with reality.

Third go at this post: I’m still so angry that Israel and its allies have created the conditions for escalating violence against Jews worldwide, namely committing genocide and claiming the devastation is enacted in the name of Jewish people. Still mourning with everyone affected during Hanukkah.

Call me crazy but maybe if a military and government spend two years nonstop killing children and screaming "this is for all Jews, all Jews support this" at the top of their lungs, people might believe them and do awful things to Jews as a result, and that's yet another reason why genocide is bad

This is a wonderful way to grieve: Alice worked tirelessly to raise awareness about why Palestine was a disability justice issue and to raise funds for Gaza.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles. Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.
