if you have never read the #animorphs books please join me in reading them for the first time. i cannot express to you how good these books are and also how horrifically relevant they are to our current repulsive political times. i am not fucking around. hughouse.productions/podcasts/nev...

Is this a pigeon meme, guy is gesturing to a butterfly captioned "never ending parade of tasks" and is saying "is this a life?"

I think if you tell your therapist that you're afraid of getting caught in a Poseidon Adventure, and he tells you "you don't need to be afraid of being caught in a Poseidon Adventure, you should go on that boat" and then you get caught on a Poseidon Adventure, you should get your therapy money back

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

New video! To balance out the karma of talking about a bad ghost hunter for 2 hours, I've got a much shorter video breaking down 12 Halloweeny bits of entertainment you should have in your annual rotation.

really hard explaining that dysphoria can be knowing that people associating you with the aesthetics michaels at halloween instead of the aesthetics of nuclear reactors

White centrist Americans will never defund the police, because the police are staffed with their friends and family and also the eager Brownshirts willing to violently oppress the "others" that white America disagrees with or finds uncomfortable. They won't give that privilege up without a fight.

For my newsletter today, I wrote about the American police state and how Democrats are going to have to kill it if they have any hope of rebuilding from the authoritarian Trump regime. www.burnsnotice.com/democrats-mu...

Democrats Must Kill Their Inner Cops

Who needs the National Guard when your state troopers are perfectly willing to crack protester skulls all on their own? Listen, Illinois governor JB Pritzker is not perfect, but he's my guy. Or at le...

Good day in the U.S. to remember white folks aren’t from here. We didn’t bring our “best”. We brought murderers, rapists, etc.

We’re on stolen land, our “heritage” is built on massacre, and our demonizing of modern immigrants is a cruel irony.

Abolish ICE. Restore justice for Indigenous Americans.

yeah, it's going to hit the UK, then continental Europe, then international based on some sources

even then -- just really, really sad

i see people being like "mtv sucks anyway" people really don't get it, just like how they didn't get it when MTV News got killed www.techdirt.com/2024/06/27/p...
