We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward.

"We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

An illustration of Miss Major surrounded by candles with blue background and a famous quote of hers written in gold. The quote reads“I don’t need their permission to exist; I exist in spite of them. I want you to train and teach and love on and create families within my community and gender non-conforming people, so that we can understand that we have a culture, we have a history, we have a reason to be here. We have a purpose. We’re entitled to be loved, and seek happiness, and share that with the people that we care about.” -Miss Major Griffin-Gracy

Nurse: Age?

Me: I was there when the Deep Magic was written! I was there the day the strength of Men failed!

Nurse: A number is fine.

Me: Forty-six…

Nurse: Fort—

Me: …physically. Bog witch age, spiritually.

Nurse: Okay, well, the doctor will be right in.

Dude in grocery store goes “Some common sense advice: masks don’t do anything. Idiot.” I said “Forgive me for not taking ‘common sense advice’ from a guy wearing socks with Crocs in the rain.” I could tell by his face he’s gonna go to sleep tonight thinking about everyone on line laughing.

You try saying no to this face!

My wife to the cats: You can't outsmart us, you guys.

Me, who gets outsmarted by our cats at least once a day: YEAH, YOU GUYS!!!

Well I’ve now watched two-thirds of six episodes of Yellowjackets with my wife sitting beside me and telling me when to close my eyes and muting it at the extra-squelchy parts but now I’m lying in bed and the lamp has started flickering and my horror-watching career is OFFICIALLY OVER!!!!!

I’m not a violent person but if I see you eating a banana Laffy Taffy, I will slap it out of your hands — for your own good!

I’m sorry I truly love that Ryan Rucco referred to Bam Adebayo simply as “A’ja Wilson’s boyfriend.”

Lol right? It is doing the opposite, ma’am!

Lady at the pharmacy complaining so loud about Zohran Mamdani. She kept calling him “Mmmdaddy” but like as an insult? Everyone on line was trying so hard to keep it together. This one guy was like “Wow ‘Mmmdaddy’ is so mean! Definitely stop saying it! Do not keep repeating it loudly and in public!”

I’ve done so many things I personally struggle to do with so much grace this week. I’m very proud of myself!

A’ja Wilson said:

A’ja Wilson’s 2025 Pride cake reads “let’s get one thing straight yall aren’t”

The cake is piped with rainbow rosettes and super gay decorations around the edge: two pairs of scissors, frooties candies, two black cats with intertwined tails, and a limp-wristed SpongeBob

A’ja Wilson’s 2024 Pride cake is pink with rainbow ribbon designs on the corners. It reads “hooray you gay” and features two pairs of glittery scissors, and tiny disco balls

Everybody ain't for everybody, I get that.

I'm certainly not everyone's cup of tea.

But if you can't appreciate what we're seeing from A'ja Wilson, you don't love the game like me.

I love how gently my wife is like “Why don’t you relax for a second, darling, you don’t look like you’re quite at peak energy” when what she really wants to say is “SIT DOWN! You look like you’re about to fall the fuck over.” #LongCOVID

Built my career on social media, met my wife on social media, met most of my best friends on social media, plus all the cats.

Celebrate prime day by buying my book from Bookshop dot org (with free shipping and a little discount) or your fave indie bookstore.

Fuck Jeff Bezos, books don't need him.

Bookshop dot org: is.gd/iMcYEA

a book, with a blue cover and gradient red to yellow font that reads the dad rock that made me a woman by Niko Stratis. it's sitting on a wooden tabletop, behind it are records and a lamp and whatnot.

You made it halfway through the week *and* we still have free shipping? Sounds like the perfect time to treat yourself to a new book and support indie bookstores in the process. 📚
