RIP D'angelo. Black Messiah is a top 5 of all time record.

there is lots to be scared about, no doubt, but "you should be scared" is not a call to action.

May I just say:
Hell yeah Brewers

it would probably be sorta hard for just anyone to do it *this well* because it requires you to actually be normal about trans people, but still it feels important to state for the record that WE ARE NOT HARD TO STAND UP FOR AND ANY OF THEM COULD DO IT.

but now I know those people, i would notice if they werent at class and vice versa. go from there.

thats what the gathering is for. if you regularly spend time among people you see how they treat others & you over time rather than JUST when stakes are high.
don't think only movement stuff either. no one is trying to sell me out at my weekly dance class. there's nothing to gain there but fun.

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable."

All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

don't vote for Andrew Cuomo, Mayor of Slop

the two things keeping my brain okay right now (volunteering at repair cafes, going to dance class) do not at all involve computer. i am going to learn nothing from this.

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

my gender? miss piggy

i appreciated the show mad men with its realism of how most people just saw major events on tv and kept on going to work and worrying mostly about themselves

The brain tricks us constantly. It mistakes scrolling and "seeking information" for DOING THINGS. That is not doing. You have to act.

I wrote this essay right after inauguration day and it’s even more true today. dansinker.com/posts/202…

small in the scheme of things, but a well functioning government could stop u from getting 12 to 25 scam texts about fake jobs per day

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

Rather than seeing this as a political project, I would suggest it's better to see this as a reflection of an economy increasingly centered around the extremely niche emotional needs of people with billions of dollars to spare...

hey! looks like I'm finally gonna get the fuck off tiktok.

i’d feel even safer with a trex there rly

from my latest: "The trans-shooter myth largely began circulating in 2023 around the Nashville shooting, 'as the right began rolling back LGBTQ rights in earnest'... Two years later, and just a decade after the so-called trans tipping point, anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage."

In this moment of emergency, a lot of people are realizing that they can just… do things. Without people giving them directions or instructions, people are just showing up to escort their neighbors to school, to cook them meals, to share resources & support.
