An article about Annabelle, the infamous haunted doll, coming to Scarefest in Lexington inspired the discussion which takes a bizarre turn to Zombies and eating brains! #paranormalpodcast

1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us.
In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward.
These are the people I'm remembering today.

It took 50 days and a whole lot of nonsense, but Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva is finally in her seat.
Mike Johnson didn’t stall her swearing-in by accident—he did it on purpose.
Because protecting predators was apparently more urgent than serving the people.

I spent today down in Hamilton, Ohio as part of the official grand opening of a new @barnesandnoble.com there, and used this enormous pair of scissors to cut the red ribbon. I considered stealing the scissors. I ultimately did not. If the staff cannot find them later IT WAS NOT ME.

Good article. There's a certain type of nerd who feels oppressed just by having more diversity be allowed, and this is one of those nerds.
The far right is obsessed with Lord of the Rings and Musk keeps posting about "hobbits" because modern scientific racism owes more to fantasy worlds and gaming systems than genetic science, and they see both as effective mediums for right-wing propaganda www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Gutted by the Dems caving after the blue-wave wins of last week? Sick & tired of us snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? I hear you! Might I suggest you calm yourself, relax, take a deep, cleansing breath... then see if this photo of 2 pandas cuddling is of any help.
