Thanks for reading! I'll be using my BlueSky account primarily to support my professional writing at Wonkette and Pervert Justice. If you want to read an eclectic mix of socially important stories, longer analysis, and occasional humor, come visit or even support me at PervertJustice.

Even after we sent that giant memo to Aaron Persky?

Huh. Might need some more recalls then.

Well, chief. If you find you're too upset about what Gail said here to think about anything else, the good news is she'll be posting something else to consume your every waking thought within a few hours at most.

Meanwhile, just want you to know Ringo was the only legit musician in the Beatles.

This is the man that Democratic leadership refuses to endorse.

Thanks, @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social .

Thanks, @schumer.senate.gov .

Because of Mamdani's campaign and all the people who made it what it is, we now know what you oppose -- and we know what you do not.

If it matters to you James, I came out and began transitioning 16 years later. I was a little older, and things were pretty terrible at times, but I didn't have no support. I had a little. And the ppl who came out after me had more.

The love of your life did that for me, for us. Thank her, too.

The Left Hand of Darkness, like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, has outlived its intended usefulness. It can still be read as a classic, but my younger friends reading it think it's actually backwards, & sabotages its own premise w how hard the protagonist clings to binary gender. They're right.

This is stupidly white of me, but I still love Take On Me, the Norwegian band A-Ha's biggest hit in the States, and this Norwegian metal/prog-rock group covering it is giving me all the intradermis spark showers my body can handle.

My statement on today's profoundly moving scenes in Israel and Palestine.

Today’s scenes of Israelis and Palestinians are profoundly moving: Israeli hostages being freed and families reunited after years of fear, uncertainty, and torture; the first days in Gaza without relentless Israeli bombardment of Palestinians as families return to rubble and loved ones freed from detention.

There is finally a glimmer of hope that this ceasefire will hold and the long difficult work of reconstruction can begin. I also know this news brings solace to millions of New Yorkers, who’ve felt the pain of the past few years. We have watched as our tax dollars have funded a genocide. The moral and human cost will be a lasting stain and requires accountability and real examination of our collective conscience and our government’s policies.

The responsibility now lies with those of us who believe in peace to make sure it endures, and that it is just. Once aid is delivered, the wounded are cared for, and a lasting agreement secured, we cannot look away. We must work towards a future built upon justice, one without occupation and apartheid, and for a world where every person can live with safety and dignity.

Said this before, but at a church mtg my BFF was at (topic: protect trans kids) they were deciding on public actions. Two white dudes (25-35) were worried about violent reactions by cops. Oldest white woman there asked "Who here has been tear gassed?" and every woman over 50 raised her hand.

I don't understand why Fishbone's Racist Piece of Shit would be all over my suggestions for today of all days.

Huh.

A GREAT way to celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day is to give resources to awesome Native orgs.

This is an old-but-new one (long story) that supports tribal schools in their language revitalization, food sovereignty, and other efforts.

I really can't imagine that anyone thought it would be any different than this. If they just wanted to hire her away from TFP they could have. They WANTED content from TFP.

I know I may be ushering in Ragnarok when I say this, but they think TFP is good journalism, of the kind they want for CBS.

I've gotten married 6 times.

5 of my weddings were at the Church of Elvis.

When I try to explain Portland weirdness I tell people about the 24 hour Church of Elvis. What a wonder!

Gail, when John Lewis told you to get in "good trouble, necessary trouble," there was an optimism in his words, perhaps undeserved or perhaps merely a bit inflated, that presumed you would have little trouble parsing "necessary."

A beautiful native woman flipping the bird in response to Monday, Oct. 13th, Columbus Day. “Fuck Christopher Columbus.” Happy Indigenous People’s Day!
