another thing to think about is how men chose to accessorize and decorate women, forcing insecurities upon them to keep them smaller than the men. women became sexualized and valued by mostly their appearance, which came swinging around when women began taking pride in just that.

I don't really subscribe to the "homophobes are self hating gays" theory but I do want to point out a lot of supposedly straight dudes spend a lot of time thinking about dick.

We could probably solve a lot of issues if they just got dicked down instead is all I am saying.

“Pierre Poilievre can be tied directly to Enbridge, Pathways Alliance, Koch Industries and the Canadian Gas Association. His inner circle is stacked with fossil fuel lobbyists, and his campaign received major donations from oil industry insiders.” @taylornoakes.com

Document signed at yesterday's peace summit in Egypt outlines only broad principles for Gaza's future, highlighting ongoing challenges to achieving lasting resolution to the conflict.
Trump, leaders of Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey signed the agreement. The warring parties—Israel and Hamas, did not.

I mean, the article is pretty clear that there was no sense in boycotting Spotify when the other platforms where he makes all of his money were adopting the same practices he was protesting.
let’s cheer for those fighting against the companies that are trying to destroy us— every voice matters.

imagine being so insecure about balding that you grow a creepy, scraggly skullet to tousle atop of your head to pretend you have hair every day.
a part of me is really intrigued by how internally damaged you have to be to do this, rather than just getting plugs.

Last Sunday, @demiforillinois.bsky.social, @raygunsite.com and I hosted a No Kings protest sign-making party with the best problem:

So many people showed up, we ran out of table space.

This is what community care looks like.

Hello everyone.

Antifa is not a real organization.

Proud Boys are.

Oath Keepers are.

Patriot Front is.

KKK is.

Heritage Foundation is.

Antifa is not.

Thanks for your attention.

super stoked to watch this— used to work with one of the cast members & I haven’t yet had the pleasure of seeing her on the big screen!
idc what people say: the best part of growing older is watching people you’ve crossed paths with succeed in their dreams— even sweeter when you trained them on bar

I resonate with the latter, although had been brainwashed to be boy-crazy up until my thirties. life is much more pleasant when you’re living in alignment (which was kinda my point) 🫶

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

fear that someone will “turn them gay” when in reality, it’s the one thing that will set them free.

Feeling the need to say this...

if you have friends that only like you when you act a certain way, they aren't your friends.

If your partners only want you to share certain things or be a certain way, they do not love you.

Being your natural self and being loved for it is real connection.

maybe Canada can do an “aid drop” for Christmas and it’s just a bunch of transgender toasters for those who didn’t already get one. whoops, you’re all queer now 😈

it may be the dumbest thing about this whole administration, and somehow, somewhere, some idiot is screaming this from the top of his lungs as if it makes any sense.

"They want transgender for everybody"

Yeah, I don't know what to tell you? Nonchalant acceptance of transgender & gender non-conforming people of all kinds *should* be an American ideal of the highest order: You be you, live your life. We should all have the opportunity to be so free. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Happy Indigenous People’s Day <3 We’re still here living and loving, rising against those powers that tried, still try, to erase us. Indigenous people give me hope for a better world. We had it, we can have it again, it’s in every single one of us.
