their names are always such a perfect balance of clever and classy.

a filly named Pause out of a mare named Lull is some more wonderfully classic Claiborne Farm/Adele Dilschneider horse naming.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

i mean, fuck Salvation Army for being phobes, but also? for their idea of "doing the most good" including bringing dinner to the Illinois State Police forces who are suppressing, attacking, and arresting anti-ICE protesters.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

These are your troopers @govpritzker.illinois.gov beating Chicagoans exercising their 1A rights as they try to stop ICE from abducting and imprisoning their neighbors without cause.

unraveled @unraveledpress.com · 2d

Troopers just violently attacked protesters, tackled several, several arrests, shoving activists and press with batons.

I wrote a little about some of the little details you might have missed in this video and why it hit me so hard as a trans person this morning:

when i first got into NXT, Wes Lee was a huge part of that. i'm particularly excited to see him in another promotion since...i know the Fed's rotten to the core but my personal last straw was Lesnar returning at Summerslam. so if he turns up elsewhere i get to watch him again, which is gonna rule.

rowan ward 🏳️‍⚧️ @rogueclown.bsky.social · 2d

i hope they all land on their feet and i'd love for them to all land together. Wes Lee rules and the Rascalz are a lot of fun.

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.

SO many good ones. i just happen to be obsessed with Andy, You're A Star, both 20 years ago and now ;-D

rowan ward 🏳️‍⚧️ @rogueclown.bsky.social · 3d

definitely a matter of personal taste - i am absolutely not the Arbiter of the Killers 😊

rowan ward 🏳️‍⚧️ @rogueclown.bsky.social · 3d

Sam's Town is the best Killers album but "Andy, You're a Star" is the best Killers song.

Who's Afraid Of The Big Bad Bunny, And Why? | Defector

When the NFL announced that Bad Bunny would headline this season’s Super Bowl halftime show, it made all the sense in the world, because Benito Martínez Ocasio is probably the single most versatile…

There’s a young Black boy in my neighborhood that most people would describe as a YN but he was always friendly & respectful to me. I would give him snacks after school & ask about his day. when he was in 7th grade, one day I randomly asked him “what’s making your heart so sad?”

LUCKY!!!!!!!!! i never got to see them live, but i learned about them through a Matchbox20 fan group online in the 90s and have been hooked ever since.

okay - hearing the baseball stadium organ play the Seven Nation Army riff is weird. i'm used to those tunes being...old, not ones that came out when i was an entire adult.
