“Fashion shows in riot gear
Bulletproof is in this year
This will all end in tears
All the moderates declare
It could never happen here
This will all end in tears
Do you love the things that kill you?
Do you keep them by your side?
Do you only ask the questions
After all your friends have died?”

If as a society we listened to sex workers, none of us would be here right now.
If you look at the Epstein story through the lens of his victims and their life stories you get a story about every powerful institution in public life failing on any measure of accountability but repeatedly being outmatched by the courage of teenagers, sex workers, and runaways

When someone was adamant that you were wrong about something & you knew absolutely you were right, you couldn’t just call up proof on your pocket wizard.
You just had to fester. Or turn it into a whole thing.

What’s a real thing from your childhood that kids these days would find completely foreign?
Like, how we used to be able to walk right up to the gate to meet our family coming off a flight.
Or how we had to pick a spot to meet at the theater BEFORE we went.

As the Governor of Utah, hardly a woke scold, said when he vetoed a trans kids in sports bill, “Rarely has so much fear & anger been directed at so few.”
Allowing our smallest most vulnerable population to be scapegoated as a wedge issue towards full fascism is now added to our list of sins.

You cannot play director or choreographer for moments of organic mobilization. I'm sorry, but even someone who understands the dynamics of what's happening (which many of you clearly don't) cannot do that. This is raw political will. You cannot direct that energy from behind a fucking screen.

My number one LDR will always be first song we ever heard her play, in a songwriter contest in 2006. She was still a teenager, so sweet & shy. Played one quiet chord & the room fell silent.

New York's budget is late, partly because Hochul is trying to force through unpopular policies like a mask ban. Unions, healthcare workers, civil rights groups, and many legislators are opposing the ban.
But she hasn’t backed down – so we can’t either.

Yeah, I played in the 90s, & while we did have a woman’s team, we played co-ed sevens all the time. I took down any number of men. Plenty of cis women could easily toss me through the air.
