I spent way too much time thinking about this list and I already have regrets. I could easily do another 10.

I'm happy to hear you are home. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

I want to see Agatha and Tommy continue their adventures together but I don't want "Agatha All Along" Season 2. Agatha All Along is a perfect mini-series.

Do they also want cities not to be occupied by the military? Do they also want the secret police abolished? Health care is important but I swear to God the longer Democrats focus on traditional political issues the more Trump's authoritarian power grab is normalized.

Nice!! I love that story! I accidentally came out on the ides of March 🤣.

I never planned on coming out on National Coming Out day but I was tempted to just blurt it out every year when I was closeted. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY 🎉🎉

We're probably going to need to establish a lottery system. But with Matt's history with relationships he should get through the queue pretty quickly... Hopefully most of us will survive!!

Karen, you can do so much better than Matt and his drama.

I, on the other hand, cannot. And besides I can change him.

It's clear he actually views us as real human beings who deserve dignity and equality. The vast majority of Democrats view us as peculiar people to be tolerated and/or pitied.

Given the ending of season 3, I don't think it will feel rushed. With that said, I wish we were spending more time in the wilderness. I feel like we have hardly gotten any time with the girls in the winter.

Sarah @sarahplainandtired.bsky.social · 3d

Thank you for this. I wish that posting something like this wasn't brave but so many politicians lack the courage to show half the empathy that you have shown.

You don't recognize the guards you put up everyday as a trans person until someone shows you basic respect and kindness and you just melt because it is so rare. Mamdani's recognition of Sylvia Rivera, who is far too often forgotten when talking about queer history, speaks volumes about his allyship.

Sarah @sarahplainandtired.bsky.social · 3d

Take the 2 minutes or so to watch this. I cannot stop crying. To see a politician so proudly and boldly speak about trans history and trans rights, in today's climate, feels revolutionary. It shouldn't but it very much does. 1/2

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.

Everyone can retire their go-to comparisons to North Korea now. They are low-key racist and entirely unnecessary. If you want to compare the US to an authoritative state that lies to the public, you need to look no further than outside your window.

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory

Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

I can never wrap my head around people who present misrepresentation as no big deal or even a good thing. It's the quickest way to lose credibility.
