I don't know who needs to hear this but withholding medicine from groups of people out of animus for their class is a UN textbook definition of genocide.

Fuck anyone who voted for or supported this. They are enemies of humanity. We don’t throw human rights to the wolves.
Just now, a national trans healthcare felony ban for youth has passed the US House, with 10 year prison terms.

3 Dems crossed party lines to vote to jail providers.

4 GOP crossed party lines to vote against.

It is not expected to pass the Senate, where Dems hold filibuster power.

Story to come.

I don’t understand why none of these lists I’ve seen yet have featured an episode of Andor. The one with the funeral procession on Ferrix broke television for me, it was that good.
What are your five favorite episodes of television, any show, any genre?

I'll start:

1. DS9 — "Past Tense" (two parter, so that's a cheat)
2. The Good Place — "The Trolley Problem"
3. Party Down — "KSGY-95 Prizewinner's Luau"
4. Scrubs — "My Screwup"
5. The Americans — "Pilot"

I know I beat this drum a lot. It's kind of the one true thing about me that I've always known even when on autopilot living the wrong life in the worst town.

If you even kinda think you have it in you, Make Something.

Anything.

Create.

It makes existing worth it.

End of a very insightful short thread, worth scrolling up to read the full thread. 🧵
Anyway, the fascism we Actually Got is one that co-evolved with the tactics and economy of algorithms, attention, influencers, social media, anon trolling, etc. A successful counter or resistance to that fascism is going to look like a resistance to that attention economy, not a continuation of it.

My most fundamental belief is that we do not have to live like this.

Watching Coogler’s Black Panther in a sold-out Oakland movie theater filled with Black families. There was EMOTION in that hall. When Killmonger said that line about “bury me in the ocean with my ancestors,” a palpable impact wave went thru the crowd. I felt really honored to be there.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Crown for sovereignty in honor of the Morrígan, woven with hawthorn, mugwort, ivy, feathers, and a flight of crows. Done in a delicate fine line black and gray style. An honor to give this sacred tattoo. Thank you for your trust 🖤

We're watching the desperate clawing back of a prior age that doesn't know it's dead yet.
They've already lost, and they know it, and they will do everything to deny it. But the truth remains: with each day they fade more and more from the world.
Don't despair, the world to come is better.
man, the collective grief from older trans people at the violent death of the world we briefly hoped was coming, a world in which trans children would be recognised, loved, and helped...

yeah.

I hope this email never finds you. I hope a single shaft of light pierces the broken ceiling, giving life to saplings and ferns. I hope the old computer went dark years ago, and the office smells of moss and wild spores. I hope that you are free.

This is the strategy, this is exactly it right here why they’re shoving AI so hard into education right now.
Wrecking young people's reading, writing & analytical skills during their formative years is an economic imperative for AI companies. For many of us who learned these things without AI, slop can't pass for news or entertainment. Destroying standards is essential to the industry's growth & survival.

Tattoo artist: the only Q that truly annoys me is “won’t that look gross when you’re old?”
bc body shaming, ageism & misogyny all wrapped into one.

Other Q’s that are fine but just repetitive:
“does it hurt?”
“aren’t you scared you’ll make a mistake?”
“have you ever tattooed someone’s junk?”
What’s the worst question someone can ask after you tell them your profession? For linguists, it’s definitely “how many languages do you speak?”, but I’m curious what else is happening to the rest of y’all out there?!

If I had UBI? I would still be tattooing because I love it and it’s a vocation not a job. But I’d be able to choose the pieces I’m the most excited for & in my preferred style; I’d be able to do more paintings and personal work; and I’d donate more services and volunteer time to community stuff.
Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?
