transness is a gift. i need every trans woman to understand that by nature of their existence they have been blessed with the ability to pluck the strands of fate with their hands if they choose to. it is not always easy and it is not without hardship but every trans woman is capable of greatness.

Hi folks, this is again a plea for help. There still is no cleared donor. People working through the system but again-if you're at all interested in trying to help, it takes months to get cleared as a donor. There's a lot of delays/appointments.
So please consider and spread it around, thank you.
I am afraid I have absolutely terrible news. I need a lot of help now, from everyone. I currently have NO CLEARED DONOR for transplant and we only have a short period of time to get this done. Please SHARE THIS WITH EVERYONE AND PLEASE TRY TO DONATE!

The TL;DR on how you can help (if you scroll down, the full story is below): In short I have a disease that requires a living kidney donor. There are no other viable options for me. I have only a few ...

mamdani is human. he'll fuck up and fail, especially with a hostile press and the giant mess that is nyc's politics. but today is a great day for the brave women who told what cuomo did, and for those of us who care that it should matter. that power shouldn't go to those who hurt the poweless.
I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

I want to talk about Bill 60, and I want to talk about landlords.

There's always been an undercurrent of discursive deference to small business owners in 21st capitalism writ large, because they appear to embody its highest principles.

When libs move right to fight fascism and compromise on basic ethical issues (like partnering with nazis and bigots under some kind of "big tent" or throwing marginalized people under the bus) they are admitting that they believe hatred is stronger than compassion. Also, that they lack integrity.

I literally see no one who isn't on the right depend political/ideological "purity"

can people just admit they call certain political standards "purity tests" when they disagree with them?
Folks demanding political / ideological purity fail to see that this is no longer a movement belonging to the left / liberals. This is an opposition against fascism. By definition it must be big tent. Failure to grasp this: see divided oppositions in Eastern Europe as your failed examples.

I am routinely amazed by how often the solution to America's problems as offered by the pundit class is 'first, all the liberals need to shut up about the things they care about'.

Every Jared Leto Method Acting story is the story of Jared Leto being an incomprehensibly huge, self-absorbed shitheel to everyone in his immediate vicinity because that's the only way he can find the power to produce one of his jaw-droppingly mediocre performances.
Finding out that Jared Leto kept doing his method acting shit and insisted on staying in character on the set of Tron Ares and would only answer to the name of Ares is so funny, like making a big ass douche of yourself for the third Tron movie where you play “computer program that gains feelings”
