Sorry, NPR, this is unclear - By "New York real estate background", do you mean the racist tenancy policies, the complete refusal to pay any contractor ever for anything, the ruination of any taste or historic value, or...?

Straight-passing imposter syndrome aside, I seldom feel as properly enveloped in the queer community as when I get rage-monster-y about pan-erasure when bi-visibility comes around.

GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of Johns Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

I implore of left-leaning folks to abandon the narrative of "working Americans" & shift into "the party for the people" or similar, because a) more Americans than ever HAVE no work through no fault of their own and 2) WORK. DOES NOT. DEFINE. WORTH.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

I cannot remember a summer as beautiful, weather-wise, as this one has been. I've lived here in the general area all my life, and generally we get 2-3 months of actual swampy, high-humidity, high-heat summers. This has been breezy, relatively cool, with gorgeous thunderstorms here & there.

This right here is exactly why Dems *won't* win back working class voters - because so-called "progressive" action is exactly what would give those voters everything they want & need. It's WILD to me how much resistance Dems put up on this, *especially* after watching how Mamdani has been moving.

Hey @asterionhex.monster here’s some recent art-o’-th’day:

Watercolor of a brown tabby kitty on burgundy leather hassock

Watercolor painting in rainbow blended background, with a J.R.R. Tolkien quote lettered over top: “There is a place called Heaven where the good here unfinished is completed, and where the stories unwritten and the hopes unfulfilled are continued. We may laugh together yet.”

Two small watercolor paintings, rainbow backgrounds with lettering. One reads, “what if it all works out?” In white lettering; the other reads “darling - you’re gonna be okay.” In black lettering.

Watercolor study of desk items - a stapler, a glue stick, and a ruler.

I have been reluctantly in favor of short term redistricting thus far, but now that the VRA is dead I think the only logical path forward is to make the GOP so miserable they think signing on to anti-gerrymandering law is their only chance at future power.

Indeed. Complaints about redistricting are invalid. Republicans did it everywhere and invalidated a Constitutional Amendment so they could do it on explicitly racial lines. There are two choices: use the same levers of power as Republicans do, or let them win. There is no "principled" opposition.

The Washington Post Editorial Board was fine with Republicans gerrymandering in Texas. But when Democrats responded in Virginia, it’s a “power grab” that “plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss.”

Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “The Texas gerrymander freak out. What’s happening in Texas is not a threat to democracy.”

Washington Post Editorial Board headline: “Virginia plunges America deeper into the gerrymandering abyss. The redistricting scheme was always a power grab by Democrats. Voters went along with it.”
