Mighty Ducks for Omar.
I did not have “Mighty Ducks actor calls out Frey staffer for using a Ducks movie gif, rejects Frey, and cheers on Omar“ on my bingo card. Danny Tamberelli is a legend.

Dear @teenvogue.com

Please pass this up the corporate chain:
Firing your women of color, your Teen Vogue Political reporter, and your trans folk says you’ve taken a side.

So have I. A total boycott of Condé Nast products.

You can still fix this, but look at what’s happened to Target.

Anyway, if you're familiar with the dynamic, it is impossible not to notice the way it is playing out on the national stage, with Republicans the daddy party and Democrats the mommy party. Daddy's raging, destroying, lashing out, & most political analysis amounts to ...

Minnesotans, neighbors, allies, please read this & share widely.
really excellent piece by @shoeleatherkate.bsky.social.

and a reminder that queer liberation is always the side of justice in this world. those who would see us erased and eradicated are always, always, always not.
Holocaust history shows LGBTQ+ people have always been their own heroes
Queer historians are using LGBTQ+ History Month to reflect on the often forgotten but powerful resistance against the Nazis.

I haven't submitted anything in a couple of years, but I just need to say -- I'd rather you reject me erroneously thinking I used AI (and em-dashes) than let even one piece of AI garbage through. Thank you for being both principled and thorough on behalf of all real writers!

I keep seeing people say, oh, trans people must take a hit for the greater good and, first of all, no, you don't get to discard someone else's rights and second, we know from past experience that marginalized communities like theirs are merely the first to be targeted. They'll come for you next.

If you're friends with a Nazi then you're a Nazi
we sure are learning some intriguing things about what certain people are willing to just politely overlook in their social lives
This whole Nazi tattoo dude in the Senate nonsense is revealing of a lot of white folks. Oh your friends have Nazi tattoos too? Oh it doesn't bother you at all? Oh your whole crew you been rolling with has them & y'all are all perfectly democratic? Fascinating. Taking notes.
Some fantastic stories in this thread!
you don’t have to wait til Halloween to tell you ghost stories I WANT TO HEAR THEM NOW
It was actually a really fun game to watch, and the OT could have gone either way
I guess we'll find out if they've got more than a tie in them
It's not too late to watch the Sabres! They're tied with Columbus which is Sarah's team so we cheer for a tie that the home team wins in a shootout. So far so good!
We've agreed we're only turning the Wild on if 1) they have scored and 2) are not losing by more than 2. She calls it "proof of life"
A lot of lawyers, reporters, politicians, etc are finding out that they are abject cowards who stand for nothing and no one. I hope this knowledge torments them for as long as they live. Because each & every one of their failures results in pain and suffering for the rest of us who lack their power.
We have reached the point where the *American Bar Association* cannot find attorneys willing to represent them in litigation against the Trump administration.

We didn't cancel but seriously considered. Instead we donate the equivalent amount to PBS. Not a perfect solution, but ehhhhhh we need some joy
He absolutely is. Every time they give him that pen though, he uses at least 4 different kinds of graphics and lines and it's like trying to interpret the scratchings of a hockey medium or something. Cracks me up every time
We do have the best announcers in the country though. Rob Ray is our color guy and he calls home games from between the benches like a badass. And our between periods team includes Marty Biron who talks at 1000 words per minute and is hilarious with a telestrater pen (that word courtesy of Sarah!)
Yes, we will welcome you! But note that its's not any more encouraging; more like a different kind of heartbreaking. With the Sabres, sometimes you're just happy one thing went well. Striving for actual winning is still kind of a work in progress...
I was out with a friend and just got home. What the actual hell is happening? Against the Sharks???

This all day. If you try to explain away an 'accidental' Nazi tattoo you're either an idiot or a liar or a Nazi and none of those are good so
I'm not allowed to not know Nazi symbols and dogwhistles because I am a black man in a country with a Nazi problem. It annoys me to no end that people say "he didn't know it was a Totenkopf" as if white people are allowed to not know. And besides, dude knew
Also if the magic staff or bow and arrow designs ever come out on vests, I'll be first in line!
I love that everything you make sells out for you, but now I have to wait until a few things come back in my size! Let us know when things are restocked please!
There's nothing like listening to the coyote pack of Hyland Park howl in the middle of the night, and the proximity to Halloween only makes it more fun. I can distinctly hear 3 voices at miniumum but it may be more like 4-5 individuals howling and barking and yipping. #StPaul is always an adventure!
