As I contemplate how or even if I should review a scrubbed HP fan fic, to offer an honest but critical review in a sea of anti-trans sycophants.

I can’t help but dwell on familiar issues I have with how stories about pregnancy give the illusion of choice to side step the issue of abortion.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

I have been watching the devastating videos from friends and colleagues. Some folks are still missing in cold waters. The few news and info sources for locals are also the same ones being cut by federal funding. People should know this is happening

For #IndigenousPeoplesDay, enjoy this thread of past articles wherein I put a Native lens to pop culture.

Always grateful for @io9dotcom.bsky.social letting me talk about Tusken Raiders in #StarWars and how they evolved in The Book of Boba Fett:

I’d really love to support your cause, but using AI-Gen art for the poster makes me question your practices and whether you’re actually community oriented or just one well intentioned white person on the internet.

It’s giving safety pin and blue bracelet.

I wonder if I saw more ads for it because I follow a lot of Spanish language social media accounts.

I’ve seen a bunch on TikTok, but not much on any other social media and not trailers in the theatre.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Dr. Oz announces that TrumpRx.gov is now live.

If you click, you'll see — it's essentially just a banner ad for now.

U.S. officials have said it will formally launch in January 2026 and help Americans find discounted drugs.
