A girl says no to a dance & a boy shoots up a school, & rather than investigate the boy's culture, entitlement, privilege, or violence, we zero in on exactly how the *girl* could've handled things better when rejecting someone dangerous we have concrete evidence she was right to.

New Accessibility Lesson: accessibility software is a power/video hog and needs what is basically a gaming computer to run Zoomtext. I need to run Zoomtext because @Microsoft reduced base font size for Windows 11, which I am required to use due to ending support for Win10. This is not going well.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show opened on US screens 50 years ago today. Initially a major box office bomb, cult cinema outsiders and queer audiences quickly took up the film’s mantle and turned it into a unique and exciting way of engaging with the movies. Remember kids, don’t dream it—be it!!

Someone needs to explain the mechanics of aging to me. I always thought your skin gets tougher as you age but my feet seem to be way more sensitive. Past me: oh look, I stepped on a pin. I should take that out. Today me: ow, I stepped on 3 grains of salt. I need to sit down and maybe need a doctor.

When centrist politicians say "we need to tone down the rhetoric" what they mean is: the left needs to stop asking for better from leaders. After all, we've seen what they say about the flag-touchers and the hotel-yellers. They say it's good and valid.

Until Pierre Poilievre applies for and goes through the process for a security clearance I’m assuming he’s compromised.
His excuse is BS.
Even if he obtained a clearance he could refuse to view any intel he wants to criticize the government on. They don’t force you to read.

There is no route out of fascism that involves sacrificing the vulnerable. All that does is tell the fascists that we're willing to turn on each other for the illusion of safety.
A lot of political influencers within the Atlantic/NYT orbit are very, very eager to sell us on the lie that we can get out of fascism by sacrificing trans people.
They will beat that drum even louder as the right weaponizes this tragedy.
They are liars now & they will be liars in the coming days.
