The way I want to write an inter dimensional diner romance (as a born and bred New Jerseyan) now…I have the perfect shelved WIP for it…if I wasn’t working on 3 other projects I’d write it right now

How incredible: “The full delivery took about 30 minutes. For hours afterward, pairs of whales held the baby above the water until it was able to swim… What struck the researchers was how many mother, sister and daughter whales united to support the new calf, even ones that weren’t related.”

Scientists captured female sperm whales on video working together during a birth to protect the calf

Scientists have captured rare footage of a sperm whale giving birth, offering a window into the large mammals' behavior.

Increasingly of the opinion that the correct answer to the Trolley Problem is "fuck you, why are you so fixated on finding reasons to justify killing people?"

very excited for this to be out in the world: i wrote about repressed queerness in Elio, child surveillance in Inside Out 2, the post-Lasseter crisis, and the figure of the child in Pixar for The Baffler thebaffler.com/latest/probl...

Pixar isn’t just dithering about diversity—it has become visibly scared of children themselves.

This is such a great piece and brought me back to being a queer tween in the late-aughts when Green Day was my one little piece of rep that made me feel not so alone in a very red part of suburban NJ. I’m so glad to have more out & celebratory queer music now but “coming clean” still slaps.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Reminder that if you see something horrific, there is good evidence that playing Tetris as soon as possible helps. Giving yourself PTSD from seeing photos or film clips doesn’t help anyone.

“UCLA neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf has shown that deep reading, defined as sustained immersion in a text, builds the cognitive circuits required for critical analysis, empathy and perspective-taking in ways that skimming, scrolling and short-form video simply cannot.”

Did this 1000-piece small world puzzle by myself in about ~6 hours over two days because once I start a puzzle I start to obsess over it. Might glue and frame it because it’s so cute. 🥹

Blanket bans on trans youth in sports have never been about fairness or science or protecting girls' sports. They are entirely about alleviating the discomfort of bigots who don't want trans youth on sports teams or anywhere else in the public square. That's all they are.

Thinking about that article about how publishers are pulling away from queer kidlit. Maybe queer kidlit could be more successful if publishers had any initiative to actually market and place those books within the communities that want them but capitalism am I right.

Everyone’s wishes are their prerogative, but I just fundamentally do not understand the attitude of the “kid free wedding” peeps. I personally cannot wait to have my good friend’s under 2 son at our wedding, but then again I’m literally making him a bag of Duplo and activities so he ISN’T bored lol

With the caveats that I understand how Renee Good’s death is tied to larger discourse about the experience of Black people and the way ICE treats immigrants in this country, I feel so hollow and defeated that her life as a queer person with a queer family has largely been erased and overlooked.

Sometimes you need a poem by @nikitagill.bsky.social.

nikita_gill o
The rage you are feeling comes from the same place inside your heart as the love.
This is why you refuse to accept a world where cruelty reigns and the fire consumes all.
You have known hope and joy and kindness like you have known water.
And justice is a river that demands
you do not give up on it.
- Nikita Gill
