I did the same thing at around this same time; I'm glad to know I have a companion in this
I made the mistake of checking AO3 and the good news is, there is no Lander/Mamdani fic but the bad news is there is an Eric Adams/Andrew Cuomo piece

They're rerunning the Salzburg Carmen from the late 1960s on Arte and it's awe-inspiring what kinds of hairspray technology were apparently available in late 19th century Seville

Trans people were on the front lines at Stonewall. Don't let Trump, Musk, or a bunch of Vichy gays and TERFs tell you otherwise. My latest for Slate on what happened to the Stonewall monument website, why autocrats always destroy history, and where it can lead slate.com/news-and-pol...
The Trump Administration Just Deleted Part of American History. If They Get Away With It, We Could Be Headed to a Very Dark Place.
This is far more serious than the loss of a few letters.

You're wrong about most of this. Marsha was uptown when the riots started; Sylvia was in Washington Square Park, near Stonewall, where a lot of street queers lived. Both were at the Riots later in the evening, and on the many days they lasted after - Stonewall wasn't a one day event

They also love to say that it's all just modern day trans revisionism -- to which I like to point them to Ted Rauch's 1971 article "Transvestism and Gay Liberation" from Gay Activist. bsky.app/profile/lgbt...

Stupid TERFs always try to say that Marsha wasn't a trans woman & Stonewall was only gay men. Usually they're so dumb they don't even know Stonewall lasted many days. So here's a point by point refutation of their stupidity, feel free to share! bsky.app/profile/hugh...

Gonna go get a PhD in Musicology just so I can finally understand why exactly it is that the harmonies in Linger by the Cranberries go as hard as they do

My family didn't want to post about the loss of our dog yesterday because they thought it was super selfish with everything else going on (they're not on this site, so my posting here is irrelevant)
but I guess I just want people to know it's important to honor small grief amidst the big grief

Many cultures around the world have a legend of a Bon Jovi-like figure.
Germans know him as Guten Joven;
in Brazil he is Bom João
