Last night I got to perform onstage to a sold out crowd at YouTube Theater behind Mexican pop stars and drag queens and it was amazing. Five hours of waiting for a minute long performance and I've never been more exhilarated.

A bunch of women and drag queens on stage in very color outfits, flanked by a choir of women wearing all black, of which I am one (far left, front row).

post a perfect album from the 2000s (2000-2009).

The album cover for Jimmy Eat World's Bleed American. It's the top of a jukebox with trophies on top against a light blue background.

post a meme made by you (both from 2020)

The anime butterfly meme with the man with dark hair and glasses labeled "americans," the yellow butterfly labeled "going out," and his hand labeled "is this quarantine?"

Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown meme, with Lucy labeled "Susan Collins" and Charlie Brown labeled "People of Maine"

Hopefully they have learned their lesson.

This person is a becerra stan, which I know because I am friends with them. But I cannot fathom how they think this post is going to get people to vote for him, a, because it doesn’t even mention him, and b, because it’s just so aggressive.

“For anyone thinking about Steyer, let me ask you-where are the Steyer hospital wings? The Steyer library foundations? The Tom Steyer land purchases adjacent to public parks to enlarge them? No. His legacy is private prisons, data centers and fossil fuels. Add that to his nonexistent legislative record and you get yet another rich con artist promising you a pony-sure it's an environmental pony so it sounds good to you but like any person who thinks a billionaire is cool as long as he's YOUR billionaire, you are kinda like a maga who loved when trump sold them a racist pony. It's a con.”

The heels in question (they are black with white pinstripes, which you can’t really tell in the picture)

Only 10 people running? That's such a small field. Where's my Angelyne? Mary Carey? What about this guy, who made a very compelling argument in 2018?

I wrote a letter to my representatives. If you want to sign on to this letter, you can by texting SIGN POCJGM to 50409. Or write your own.

I am a member of Indivisible Westside LA.

First, I'm writing to ask that you demand that ICE release every single child in detention right now.. These places are not safe for children, not to mention that the Trump administration is violating the Flores Settlement by regularly keeping kids imprisoned in them for longer than 20 days. ICE needs to be abolished and replaced, but until then I expect Congress to codify all of the demands on Democrats' list, and that's at the bare minimum. I, and the majority of Americans, support you in voting down any new DHS funding until that happens.

Second, Trump has unilaterally taken us to war with Iran. I was 16 in 2001 and 18 in 2003. I do not want another forever war. Congress needs to do its job and stop him by bringing a war powers resolution for a vote, voting yes, and taking back your power.

Lastly, you need to start speaking out for impeachment loudly. Now. If you can't do it now I have no faith that you will be able to change course if Democrats regain the majority. There is no need for investigations; we know Trump is violating the constitution daily. Just do it.

lol what. Jeopardy/trivia I get, but Southampton FC supporters?

A bunch of green dots on a black background, with a pink circle surrounding one and my handle next to it. There are some clusters of dots with text. The farthest left from the pink circle is labeled "Creative Writers and Makers". The two closest clusters are "Jeopardy Champions and Trivia Enthusiasts" and "Southampton FC Supporters." The next closest is Type 1 Diabetes Community. The farther right one is labeled "TBLT Ten Podcast Community" (I have no idea what that is)

I feel like the Van Allen belts show up way too much on Jeopardy

LA Times homepage this morning. While it's true that the No Kings protests are in smaller boxes, I'd argue that Trump closing a major freeway for no reason is going to do a lot to piss off the minority of Californians that support him.

LA Times homepage from the morning of 10/19/2025. There are two stories about Trump closing (including the one with largest amount of real estate) the 5 freeway and two about No Kings.

If someone buys this and gives it to Trump and tells him it's the real deal will he go away?

Happy international left hander’s day! Who wore it best?

Picture of a smiling white woman with brown hair wearing a pink shirt and jeans with her left fist raised. She is standing in front of a beige stucco wall. The shirt says “lord love a lefty”. The shirt also doubles as a political statement.

A still from the Simpsons with Ned Flanders standing in front of his store, the leftorium: everything for the left-handed man, woman, and child. He has his left fist raised and is holding a blue sign that say “left power”. He is wearing a pink shirt that says “lord love a lefty”

Was your classmate suggesting you go to the fucking French Laundry for lunch?

User neworleanzwiz.bsky.social skeets "The main problem is lack of third spaces and enormous inequality. So many people will only meet at a restaurant and don't give a eff about their poor classmate or aunt. I had a classmate suggest that we meet at a restaurant as a class I asked
him how much a plate was he said for lunch ONLY $200."

yo Jeopardy, your question about the sun's final state was not correct! white dwarf *is* the final stage (see attached)! signed, a former astronomy professor (I'm available to provide technical advice!)

A flow chart of the outcomes of stars of various masses. It splits into two branches, with a branch for stars < 10 solar masses, showing that the final stage of such a star is a white dwarf.

These 3, which are further down, are so deeply awful that I don't even understand. I have so much less time as a parent to actively fight things. I'm so glad to know so many caring, childfree people (whether by choice or not).

John Brown stan account @johnbrownstan.bsky.social
How about this: you go have a kid and then ~3 years from now come back and tell me I'm wrong and that there's no causal linkage here, you're just as willing to give up on the world when you're 2 year old is trying to tell you about his day in adorable broken English.

It's not about civic virtue, it's about maternal/paternal instinct and a greater willingness to suffer yourself than to let a loved one suffer.
Marriage/relationships can do this too, but other adults can also be responsible for themselves, easing the responsibility on you.

Parenthood changes your life in outlook in myriad ways. This is just one of them. You wouldn't know because you haven't experienced it, which is fine, but every parent in this world remembers what it was like not being a parent.

My dog got groomed last week and he's still so soft and smooth and silky. Here he is in his full, scruffy, pre-grooming glory (This is actually a year old, the groomers have been going really short with him lately, so it's been awhile since he's been this scruffy)
