Rosalía reading an Anne Carson poem as a segment for The Paris Review was not on my radar of content to watch but it was worth it. If I could put it out there in the universe of a famous person doing this, I’d like to watch Keke Palmer read June Jordan, knowing it’d be gaggingly amazing.

Hi this is the OFFICIAL STANCE OF THE HHS words cannot describe how rough 2026 is going to be for trans folks and how much we are going to need your support

I just witnessed, on the computer screen right in front of my very own eyes, a job position for “community training specialist” that pays you a dollar a week. I repeat, “community training specialist”, a dollar a week. That is the embodiment of poverty. This American workforce is a fucking joke.

The renaming wasn’t great but at this point in American history “The Kennedy Center” really should refer to any location where children contract measles.

Anti-loitering speakers have been installed in the parking lot of Home Depot in Cypress Park, following a recent Border Patrol raid. “It’s like a sonic ice pick–just stabbing you,” says audio expert Dustyn Hyatt.

To be able to see their favorite musicians singing in a black box, what a privilege.

I commuted my way to the Goodwill store located right across from The Grove, the manager was dressed up for his job, very 90s Jim Carrey but with a bit of Grace Jones fabulousness. I was truly taken aback, and he’s really cute. ☺️

the same goes to those who give BBLs a bad rep yet want a BBL for themselves.
It has been super weird watching how racialized perceptions of full lips have changed over my lifetime. When I was a kid, white kids tortured me for having thick lips. Now, the whitest of white ladies who want them can buy them. Thinking of this bcuz of Vanity Fair.

Congratulations, those of you who decided to platform fringe voices and create a climate of fear and hate out of ignorance because those voices insisted a non-problem was a problem. They're now on an HHS stage trying to ruin children's lives. You will live with the harm you have done forever.

One of them was Northwestern, which paid Trump’s shakedown of $75 mil. Most trans profs at NU I knew are gone. I’m gone, and no longer teaching the LGBT reporting class in the hospital LGBT research institute (which no longer exists). This is at a university hospital in a blue city in a blue state!
7. As of late December, at least 20 major hospital systems have ended gender-affirming care for transgender youth. While a handful of providers have attempted to absorb displaced patients, many families have been left without appointments, continuity of care, or any clear path forward.
At least 21 hospitals have ended or restricted trans care for minors since January
The disruptions follow multiple efforts by the Trump administration to block such care for patients younger than 19.

I fucking loathe these smug ass art-hating self-congratulating ghouls & the system that allows them to fail upwards into unfathomable wealth on the backs of 1000s of overworked creative people whose livelihoods get passed around like trading cards every time these dillwads have a stonks circle-jerk.

Revisiting covers of songs sung by the cast or “glee” makes me miss Naya Rivera. Her rendition of Paula Abdul is immaculate. 🕊️🤍🫰🏼

I don’t like the weather in Los Angeles where you see what it appears to be fog but can’t tell if it is cold fog or sunny fog. Whatever it is, it is unpleasant. I’d rather it be sunny with a breeze.

I’m not a cineast, though I’d feel a certain way about this. Television pretty much will never be the same.

How can you address men's emotional needs at a time when the "feminization of everything" has become the consensus source of all society's problems, and emotional needs are coded as feminine?
My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it
