"are you a boy or a girl?"

I am the living, burning soul of a murdered planet stuffed into a meatsack and I'm mad about it
"are you a boy or a girl?"

i am smelling like a rose that somebody gave me on my birthday deathbed.
"are you a boy or a girl?"

i am the scent of burning leaves on an autumn night. i am the wind shaking bare trees. i am the shadows cast by moonlight. i am the raven's cry. i am the rose and i am its thorns. i shake the very earth with my footfalls.

A roadside vertical post aka bollard painted as a blue octopus with tentacles extending across the pavement, using the curb and cobbles to suggest movement. I love the use of multiple colors and the eyes & brows are wonderful!! 😁

there is a very specific kind of nerd jd vance is uniquely well-suited to drive to aneurysm — and about 90% of my best friends fit the type.

if vance becomes president all my loved ones are either going to die or become ayahuasca addicts.
In addition to being straight-up Nazi rhetoric, the "undocumented immigrants caused the housing crisis" lie seems designed to drive me, personally, insane.

in 2002 i started renting all the queer shit i could find on vhs at blockbuster in jupiter, florida (we were too poor to have a dvd player yet). there wasn't much but they did have Bound

i watched it on the living room tv (the only tv) one night after everyone else was asleep. lessons were learned

🔥"Kids are people! We must plan for their movement, just like all nondrivers."🔥
One more thing. When I wrote about this study showing one-third of Americans don't drive, people were messaging me saying this cannot be true for LA.

In LA County *23 percent* of the population is under 16. Kids are people! We must plan for their movement, just like all nondrivers. Hope that helps!
Highly recommend diving into NRDC's study on car access, which @keawilson.bsky.social wrote about here: usa.streetsblog.org/2025/10/02/report-16-million-have-no-car-access-at-all

Where Nadir was killed, 14% of LA households are car-free. But the infrastructure does not match that reality

this is worse than that time david brooks said he was bisexual for judaism and christianity
Rep. Sarah McBride: "It goes both ways. A big tent is bisexual. It goes to the left and the right . And that starts with us being kind to one another, being respectful to one another and being welcoming to one another."

Sarah McBride explains how Democrats’ ‘big tent is bisexual’
The Democratic congresswoman from Delaware told an audience at Crooked Con, "You can’t build a diverse working class coalition if people don’t feel like you like them."

they reskeet, even as their last day before parental leave is so full of to-dos that they'll probably work friday morning anyway
Having down time and rest should be more of a badge of honour than being busy.

istg mayor Boswer is horny for hurting homeless people
While feds are cutting support for housing, so is DC.

There is no city funding for 2026 for permanent supportive housing for individuals experiencing homelessness. Shelters are at 95% capacity. Other voucher programs are shrinking, pushing people back into homelessness, including families.
This is far worse than anyone expected.

Trump's HUD plan would cut *two-thirds* of permanent housing and push as many as 170,000 formerly homeless people back onto the street—redirecting funds to work mandates, forced treatment, and encampment sweeps.

All as mass internment camps are being built.

i need people to understand that nimby policy wins are largely responsible for both the housing shortage AND forced institutionalization of our neighbors
Sure housing saves lives, but the NIMBYs hate it so let's throw unhoused people in concentration camps instead.
