as a queer writer, I include "unnecessary" gay sex because it's hot, but also because every large media house is desperate to try and remove the homosexual activity from any piece of media they can. It's my duty to make it as structurally-integral as possible.

Someone just called me an "emotional arsonist" and it's the first time I've smiled all day.

Mayor Mamdani walked into the control center, made a quick bow to Mecca, and turned to his squad of extremely sexy and very online leftist influencers. "Status," he quietly ordered, curling his upper lip in a very hot and intimate Muslim way. "We've targeted all the billionaires," a leftist cooed.

...madre de fucker, Cute A****** just walked in on me stuffing my face with zero sugar cookies and sugar-free root beer. Not the best impression. Though I did get to startle him by testing out my Vietnamese, and then he tried to impress me with his (awful) French.

Maybe I've been out of the loop because I've spent the last year in a rehab center recovering from a stroke and I'm not on socials much, but...this is the first time I've ever seen a post ratioed on Bluesky. Did you get the attention you farmed for?

I like Ed Sheeran being like "I never spoke about politics. Because my music is about unity, not division" and then the music is like "la la la la I want to touch your body wow. sexy crazy body wow"

I have always said and will always say Free Palestine, and I'm so fucking proud to see so many artists acting on their principles and choosing to stand for Palestine rather than participate in Sheeran's completely non-neutral silence.

This is why I’ll always support Luigi.
Luigi Mangione pleaded guilty today; one of the things he said was:
"I emailed United Healthcare's leadership, posing as an investor managing $58 billion.
Unlike my other experiences with the company, I was contacted back within 1 hour."
Damn.

"It’s not just the USS Lincoln that should return home. All the troops deployed to Trump’s misbegotten and mismanaged war should return. And their commanders and nominal “leaders”—from Trump to Pete Hegseth to Daryl Caudle to Hung Cao—should be held accountable." www.thebulwark.com/p/the-troops...

The Troops Deserve Better than Hegseth
The president, the secretary of defense, and the top Navy officials are blithely ignoring the suffering of the sailors at sea.

Curious if we're going to see any significant blowback in congressional districts with large military bases. The stories their families have been getting about the Hegseth Era can't be good.

I saw a post on FB that said "Queer kids need stories about happy queer adults." Yes, absolutely. But they also need stories of angry queer adults whose rage and disdain for the world as it is fuel them to tear apart systems of oppression, even if they never get to become one of the happy ones.

Do he got a booty? Yes, he doooooo.
A screenshot of gameplay from the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, with an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn...okay, I'll stop. The screenshot shows the Rogue's Guild headquarters in Limsa Lominsa, a lamplit room with walls and floors of wood, stone, metal, and plaster, dotted with things such as notices and maps, with sacks, ropes, and crates stacked and strewn around the edges. In the center of the room is a wooden table with a large document spread over it and several wooden chairs pulled out from it. Three characters stand around the table: a lalafell with tan skin and white hair, wearing bandages for a shirt, green cropped pants, and a green du-rag to the left; a Caucasian human man in a similar outfit save for the top, which is a poet's shirt open under a green vest, his hair brown under the du-rag; and, seen from behind, a tan male Au Ra with a black ponytail and a black sleeveless top wearing *very* tight leather pants.
