Part of my year is dissociating by watching film and television I’ve inexplicably not seen before.

First up was binging all three seasons of TED LASSO (2020-2023). Amazing. Loved.

I’m sorry, saying Mike Wheeler can’t be gay or bi because he has a girlfriend as a *checks notes* high schooler is erasure of queer culture!!!

I have a brownie, a glass of wine, and Last Holiday on the tv. What an excellent night for the first snowflakes of the season.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:

Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.

If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.

Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Mike Johnson is big mad that we forced through a petition and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files.

So let’s do it again. This time to restore the ACA credits he stole from us:
Tell Congress: Support discharge petition to force vote on ACA tax credits
Contact Congress today!

Me: how come i never hear about how fake christmas trees scratch up and irritate everyone’s arms so badly every year?

Also me: looking at my hands covered in rashes and hives.

Me, finally: Oh. I’m allergic to fake christmas trees.

Alice Wong taught us that disabled people don’t just leave memories behind—they leave infrastructure. Lineages of care. Methods of collectivity, survival. She named the connective tissue that holds our communities together, even across death, even across the losses that come too fast and too often.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

Trans rights is a winning platform. Pro immigration is a winning platform. Taxing the rich is a winning platform. Affordable housing is a winning platform. Free childcare is a winning platform. Hating Andrew Cuomo is a winning platform. SOCIALISM IS A WINNING PLATFORM

Mamdani: "We believe in standing up for those we love. Whether you are an immigrant, a member of the trans community, one of the many Black women that Donald Trump has fired from a federal job ... your struggle is ours too."

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up

Let *this* be the future of the Democratic Party.
Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.
