icymi I wrote a little ode to “Jupiter Ascending,” a very important film, in Saturday’s @newyorker.com Daily newsletter
"Jupiter Ascending" (2015)
There's just so much more nonsense than sense in the Wachowskis' magnificently insane space epic. The story, I guess, is about a beautiful Earthling toilet-scrubber catapulted into interplanetary political intrigue because she's a perfect DNA match for a recently-deceased galactic oligarch—but you're doomed if you go looking for coherent plot. Better to absorb this masterpiece as a high-production-value tone poem: Channing Tatum as a canine-spliced rollerblading bodyguard; something involving really hot siblings in a regeneration hot tub; Eddie Redmayne doing oh, so much ACTING; and something happens with bees? Whatever. It's all enormous and gorgeous-looking.—Helen Rosner, staff writer

Ya know, for an atheist I do think about Matthew 17:20 a lot. Not in a faith sense, but just like...creativity. With a bit of creativity I can create all sorts of universes that I can hold in the palm of my hand. And I can manipulate them at will. But yeah, anyways, I think of that a lot.

My dick is amazing. It does amazing things, it's even decently sized. If I could snap my fingers and switch it with a pussy instantly, I'd do it. Does that make me disphoric? He'll if I know.

"It's only then you realize while you're talking about organizing and committees, the extermination has already begun."
Scene from X-Men 3:
Mutant: Nobody's talking about extermination!
Magneto: No one ever talks about it. They just do it. And you go on with your lives, ignoring the signs all around you. And then one day, when the air is still and the night has fallen, they come for you.

I see a once-blue world bathed in hues of red and gold. From it, strings to distant points in a sky of blood. Ships of black and green, in the horizon, stirring like angry hornets. Their swarm blots the light of a star bluer than the depths of the oceans. I reach out and it shimmers. Gone.

Then the solution is to amend the constitution. It should not be this untouchable holy book, but rather a living breathing document that grows with the country. Promoting the freedom of a group of people should not mean that we protect racists.

Hey. Democrats. You see how Ossoff kicked off a shitstorm? If your consultants and aides try and keep you from kicking the hornets nest fire them because they want you to lose elections. Perception matters and I guarantee that the base would be energized by seeing you actually saying and doing shit.

if you’re not trans and think you have a right to determine how and when trans people receive medical care and exactly how we do and don’t get to exist in the world with you then congratulations you’re acting on behalf of white supremacy

When you’re disabled, people will treat you like you’re broken. They’ll act like you’re in the wrong no matter what you do. They will insinuate you could “try harder”. They will blame you for their discomfort. Your disability is not your fault. People just can’t face it.

Respect the “can’t”
People with disabilities and chronic illnesses will often say we “can’t” do something when technically, we can, but not without severe consequences we’re not willing to pay. Since, in my experience…

If this were occurring abroad, to an ethnic minority, we would call it ethnic cleansing.

Looksmaxxers are self-parodying, like... how do you do all that to try and game a made up system you created to justify the grift you fell for, including sundering your bones and taking Tang Dynasty-type remedies. And the result is a transformation into the most monotonous dude on the planet.

Y'all should use the official Northsky pronouns labeler as your new labeler. It writes your pronouns to the ATproto pronouns field in the background. And it has a site (🔗 in bio) for managing the labels if you don't wanna do it via scrolling and liking posts on the labeler.

If Senate Democrats had come out and burned Lindsey's effigy today, they'd have cruised the Democratic Party to a massive victory in November. Just saying.

I tend to keep to myself. I do not like talking to others even if I miss the companionship of that socialization. I have a few very close friends, but otherwise, I am not very forward with interacting with others, both online and in-person. A big reason for this, is that even though i am trans (1/?)

This Danville, VA city council candidate made a very dramatic video about sidewalks and public safety, and I love it and him. Worrying about a possible milkshake duck situation, I looked at his FB page, but he seems ok. Juneteenth celebrations, community outreach, Methodists. A solid old gent.
