About 10 years ago, at least in NZ, there was a genuine chance for queer rights to cease being a left/right faultline. Key voting for same-sex marriage, a few out National MPs etc.
The policy choices of the right the last 5/6 years have meant that the faultline v much remains. And that's on them.

Decent audience responses for Green, Labour, Te Pati Māori... National MP booed so loudly that I'm not even sure who it was. Couldn't hear the introduction.
Followed by a chant of "National Off The Stage!"

I wish this was me. Except not salmon, maybe mahi mahi?
Franzi Schimmer captured this Grizzly bear in Brooks Falls, Alaska just floating along, tippy-tapping down the river, browsing the salmon.
Prior to hibernation, up to 40% of a bear's body mass is fat, which is less dense than water (~0.9 g/cm^2), so the murder-monster is also a floaty-boaty.

“Mutual Orgasm” is an incredible flex from the Good Neighbor State
PornHub’s new VDay map is bleak. Age verification laws have done so much damage

I couldn’t figure out what I wanted for breakfast so I napped all afternoon instead & I think this is a pretty good sign that I am in overload mode and dealing with a really difficult person pushed me over the edge yesterday. Now I have lost a whole day’s worth of time to work in and am overwhelmed

If it works, it destroys everyone's jobs and that's terrible for us.
If it doesn't work, it burns down the economy and that's terrible for us.
I struggle to find a reason to share their enthusiasm.

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

I saw a reel on Facebook that said "Connor Storrie in the movie of 'Song of Achilles' when???" and I have never needed anything more in my life. He would absolutely be the best fuckboi Achilles ever
And I will take Karen's ashes to the movie theatre when it comes out (no I won't but).
