In 2014, I interviewed a Columbia University student who went from class to class carrying the mattress she was raped on—a protest performance piece to remind college administrators what they put on her shoulders. Twelve years later, we still expect women on college campuses to carry that weight.

I can’t stop thinking about the Cornell rape case

Rafah, a city which had a pre-war population of 170,000 and once hosted the "humanitarian zone" for over a 1,000,000 Palestinian refugees, no longer exists in a meaningful way. Literally ground to dust.

Entering the modern country music/working class discourse to say that New York City did not even HAVE a country music station for the entirety of my youth in the 70s & 80s. Closest the working classes got would’ve been Glenn Campbell (and specifically, “Rhinestone Cowboy” or “Gentle on my Mind”).

What I can't get over is the Dems out there trying to transphobia their way out of these numbers. Just out there riding the crest of the wave, doing morally unsupportable pandering to bigotry at a time when it is also strategically foolish, just for love of the capitulation game.

I just honestly can't get over that Save Women Sports, an anti-trans group could only find five trans athletes competing K through 12. Five. The NCAA president testified a year and a half ago or so that there were less than 10 college level trans athletes. What the fuck are we doing, people

There may yet be hard truths in 'NAZA,, including evidence of Israel's systemic failures. But the reporting around it treats flimsy claims as proof of criminality.

About 30 years ago, Brendan Canty told me I should listen to early Midnight Oil. I BELIEVED HIM, but folks, you can only hold so much in the little bit of the brain that we use at one time. Well tonight, I am here to tell you that Brendan was, of course, right, and I am now a Midnight Oil stan.

And what they got in return is what every other marginalized group deemed disposable has gotten. A spineless candidate who will decide that advice from an overpriced conservative think tank posing as a Democratic advisor is more valuable than the people who brought them to the dance.

People are on here talking wild reckless to trans people. And it is very annoying because trans people have done everything they needed to do. They educated the public about candidates who were against civil rights. They pointed people towards viable alternatives. They came through in primaries.

dems seem to never understand they worsen their lot by throwing marginalized communities under the bus, b/c whether or not they do so, the right is going to attempt to tarnish them by association. dems will never win over the right but they will lose the people who thought they cared about them.

If you want a rational conversation about tradeoffs you should start by demanding honesty from the industry that has been lying about this technology since its inception, not to mention one of the common talking points being "You're getting this whether you like it or not"

We worked this up on a Euro tour, when I was opening for Aimee and her band, and played it for the first time at the Paradiso in Amsterdam. It was SO fun, that it basically became reason #2 why “we should form a new band.”

people like to celebrate when they were at an early show of someone who went on to tour w/ a celebrity, play MSG or whatever but you know what's also cool...being in a small room of people you've gone to shows with for 10+ years who kept making & caring about art despite the odds being so against it

Was just thinking about Karen Bass being against street vendors and the idea that if vendors set up near a restaurant that is a problem. As if adults are going to a restaurant but see a taco stand first and say “this food is closer so you lose, restaurant”

Texas has suspended over 1.2 million voter registrations. Many valid voters in Texas have found their voter registrations were somehow canceled when they checked. Check your registration here and fix it immediately - Texas doesn't always honor provisional ballots cast on election day.

my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.
