So glad to see a new organized attempt at Nano! Been doing this since 2007 and Nano has changed my life by helping me to find my voice as a writer. Years later there is still something beautiful about starting a new 50k draft with no expectations.

Let me say, once again, that Third Way is funded by billionaires, many of them openly right wing. So why in the fuck would we let them keep pretending they have any good faith interest in real democratic progress? They are fucking you from the inside. Stop taking their calls.

I'm down to the last nine copies of this ISS Cat print, so if you want one, please order soon. It's in my shop along with other prints, badges and a zine: www.tomgauld.com/

A view of the International Space Station floating in the stars above the earth. A cat in a space suit floats outside. An astronaut within the station looks out of a window and says "In? But I just let you out."

Generally I wouldn't wish such a horror upon Sagittarius A*, but it's about four million times the sun... so I think it could handle this problem.

I should clarify that I'm not a fan nor know much about their music or lives. I was just commenting that any group that can instantly sell out a tour needs to have people running their social media that are savvy about how fan expectation can lead to backlash.

Pick candidates that can win. If possible, pick candidates that don't take money from PACs, especially AIPAC but, first and foremost, we want to win back the House and the Senate so act accordingly.

Sheryl Weikal says Prosecute ICE @leftistlawyer.com · 16/09/2026

We probably should talk about how we on the left do this too. We bring back the r slur. We tolerate transphobia, anti-Blackness, ableism, and imperialism. And it's easy to justify because "they're worse and we're done taking the high road." It's permission structures for prejudice all the way down.

I feel like every cent I spent that went towards your stuff was well spent due to the years of enjoyment I’ve had from your videos. As just some random internet dude, I wish you all the best. Life is short and none of us can return to who we were, all we can do is try to be who we are becoming.

I know that doesn't fix the problems you have but I hope it may help you feel less like you should apologize for what never was. Life isn’t fair or kind and doesn’t care how broken we become. The best we can do IS the best we can do and you don’t owe ANY of us a single damn thing.

As someone who became a fan due to your videos on TGWTG, I have alot of very fond memories of watching your stuff, sharing it with friends, and then going out to watch the media, play the games, and you relit the passion I had running/playing TTRPGS.

I don't feel my role as a fan is to expect for the artists I love to fulfill my expectations. No one DESERVES a new song, album or tour... but bloody hell. I kind of feel they should've approached so there were lowered expectations. If I was a fan I would be put off from buying this greatest hits.

This is classic dictator stuff. Rule by fear means no one is loyal beyond their fear. Humans can adapt to almost any situation and when we get just a taste of what it's like to NOT be ruled by fear? History shows what happens and it's never kind to dictators.

What's wild about TERFs is their monomania. Like, I see trans people on here posting about their hobbies: various fandoms, gaming, photography, their pets, whatever. Stumble across a TERF and scroll their timeline (before you block them) and it's literally nothing but screeching about the transes

When a person isn’t smart enough to discern that a habitual liar may not keep his word,I think perhaps it’s time that Americans quit listening to stupid people.Doing “your own research” should not include podcasters.

I'm reminded of an interview when George R.R. Martin was asked how he was able to write characters that are complex women and he answered: "You know, I've always considered women to be people." It boggles my mind how incels and fascists just seem incapable of recognizing women as people.

Happy Pride, Chicago! 🏳️‍🌈 Pride is about celebrating love, community, and the freedom to be yourself. Illinois is proud to stand with our LGBTQ+ neighbors—not just this month, but every day.

Juliana Stratton, JB Pritzker, Christian Mitchell, and MK Pritzker joyfully march in the Pride Parade in downtown Chicago. Other marchers are around them and behind them holding up rainbow flags and placards promoting LGBTQ+ rights.

Governor JB Pritzker in a white shirt enthusiastically interacts with a crowd behind a barricade at a lively outdoor Pride event. Several people in the background hold up signs, including one that reads "LGBTQ+ for Juliana" with rainbow text.

A diverse group of people are led by Juliana Stratton, JB Pritzker, and MK Pritzker in Chicago's Pride Parade. Most marchers are holding rainbow flags and signs supporting LGBTQ+ rights, JB Pritzker's campaign, and Juliana Stratton's campaign. The governor is waving a large Pride flag. The vibrant scene includes colorful attire and positive expressions, with many participants walking down a city street lined with trees and buildings.

A large group of people from Team JB who participated in the Pride Parade pose for a group photo, holding a big rainbow "JB" banner in the center. Many participants are wearing colorful outfits or "LGBTQ+ for Juliana" shirts. Children in multicolored tutus are at the front. Chicago buildings and trees are visible in the background.
