Last year, the universe sent me a message: it told me to start going to queer raves, and so I did.

It’s been a good time!

I wrote a retrospective on 2024, the year I discovered that I like dancing, plus reflections on parenting, music, fascism, fashion, and trans joy:

My Year of Raves
In my third year of being trans, I discovered that I like dancing. This was a surprise. Dancing is meditative, therapeutic – healing even. Now I try to go dancing as often as I can. This the story of ...

if youre trans and youre struggling to justify why you as a person should be allowed to take up space in the universe just consider that by your sheer existence you make a lot of the worst people on earth mad enough that they will die early deaths from stress. so thats a p good reason

rave report: i'm hatching an insane plan.

tomorrow i'll dine with my fam, bid them adieu, pack my bags, and then

hop on a taxi to Outra Cena, a queer nightclub in Lisbon, for 12:30, dance my butt off for an hour or two

then cab back, sleep from 3am-7am, then drive to the airport,

and fly home

I hadn't given it much thoughts until now but I just learned that there is a reason why in most French-speaking countries 'eighty' is 'quatre-vingts' -- literally 'four twenties' -- and that reason is the ghostly presence of the ancient Gauls' base 20 counting system.

the bloke opening up with “well what about the drunk pedestrians” made my jaw drop.

it’s like we haven’t been able to invent new excuses, every generation of motorists comes up with the same bs
honestly these are perfect accidental satires, especially the woman at 2:30 or so listing her history of colonial driving
The reaction to these sensible measures was extreme..

She received death threats & was told by a BBC journalist 'You're only a woman, you don't drive, what do you know about it?'

This report from the time shows some of the attitudes to the change!

New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

My longread from the latest edition of our mag about the razing of Gaza in this war. One man who grew up in Rafah, the city in southern Gaza that has been largely destroyed, told me this: “you can say you miss your city if it still exists. It’s gone, you know”
“Soldiers testify that they have been told to burn down houses they have stayed in by pouring oil on curtains, books and mattresses.”

Read @aloner.bsky.social’s report on the destruction of Gaza’s cities.

Israel has razed large parts of the Gaza Strip since the war began in October 2023. The evidence points to systemic destruction

i feel like The Community got mad that she seemed to meekly fold, but I guess being a politician means eating shit a lot
This is the hardest I have seen any member of Congress work to try and address transphobia in Congress, and her ability to get nearly all Democratic lawmakers to sign onto this letter is something any first would applaud
House Dems unite to tell GOP to stop "demonizing" trans people with "dehumanizing" slurs - LGBTQ Nation
Rep. Nancy Mace's "tra**y, tra**y, tra**y!" tirade is just one example.

easy dunk for why progressives need to endorse density; the suburbs are a wildly successful social engineering program designed to make people less healthy and more isolated – and produce conservative outcomes
Voting patterns across the USA now look mostly similar - denser areas vote more Democratic, less dense or rural areas vote more Republican. Whether you are in a red state or blue state is mostly a function of how urban your state is (and some other factors like how white it is)
