I don’t know which came first, Watership Down which terrified me or the scene from Dr Zhivago where they show the mother’s dead body buried in the ground.

Cowboys past and present are: Black, Indigenous, Latino, immigrant, queer, trans, radical, female (and the ones in rodeos rely on rodeo clowns to keep them safe). And that pro-democracy pro-Constitution patriots despise this dimwitted pile of hatreds. I've met cowboys and you, sir, are no cowboy.

Very late to the sad news that Annie Dillard died. What a singular radical voice she unleashed into our world. There is a perfect piece by @shamblanderson.bsky.social in @nytimes.com But if you haven’t read this book, well, I’m not sure you can fully understand being alive. All gratitude and awe.

I’ve read an interview with a Fey where she said that finding out they were premiering the same year was terrifying and she assumed 30 Rock would tank from the competition.

It’s shocking how pervasive anti-solar sentiment is. We installed solar last year and have reduced our energy bill by 80%. I’ve talked to so many people who are well positioned for solar and were discouraged to get it by their contractors. Maddening.

Not here to defend Piker, but that tweet on the left is not an original thought or even a hot take. Many people are talking about centrist Dems (politicians & pundits) who have adopted right wing talking points to attack the left. It’s a real problem.

I know my following here is super small but I still thought SOMEONE? would want to talk about women’s orgasm in film.

Anne Stott @theannestott.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

To be clear, how women have sexual pleasure in films is not a salacious or trivial issue. The fact that many adults in this country have no idea how women experience sexual pleasure is a direct result of patriarchy.

I watched The Idea of You, a romance w Anne Hathaway & Nick Galitzone. When they hook up, he gives her an orgasm before they have intercourse & I realized how rarely we see this in films. Can you name films where the male character give a woman an orgasm (not through intercourse)?

Which AI platform didn’t want to give “facts” about Epstein? We’ve seen how Musk’s people have “trained” Grok. Our whole culture is getting tethered to this “tool” that doesn’t work but allows a small handful of people to control what we do or don’t know.

It's also important to remember that if Lindsey Graham had had the courage to come out as a gay man, he would still have been every bit the terrible person he ended up being and probably would have cheerfully voted against our interests. I would gently warn against discussing it as the key to him.

If the Senate Democrats were fighting fascism the way they should, I would not care at all what they said about Lindsay Graham. But the softening over of Graham’s support of fascism and cruelty is another example of Democrat’s outdated decorum politics that are insufficient for this fight.

Since 80% of sexual violence is perpetrated by someone known to the victim, it’s understandable that so much violence goes unreported.

The next time you ask, “why didn’t she go to the police?” Stop for one minute and imagine the complicated feelings involved in this scenario. How hard it would be to send a person you love, even one who has caused terrible harm, to the police. Imagine the ramifications in your family or community.

🧵The important facts re: Graham Platner… 80% of women who are sexually assaulted report that the perpetrator was someone they knew. 50% of women who are sexually assaulted report that the perpetrator was an intimate partner. These are people these women know and sometimes love.

For a long time, the New York Democratic machine was corrupt, sclerotic, hostile to progress, and completely implacable. That started to change when 13 women came forward, at great personal cost, about the sexual harassment they experienced from Andrew Cuomo.

It‘s inexplicable that after a decade the NY Times is still swallowing the Trump regime‘s disinformation and puking it back up for the public. The Strait of Hormuz remains closed, despite this headline that ran last weekend.
