I was finally well enough to visit friends today, who had a gathering to watch the movie Hundreds of Beavers. Every time I saw the poster before this, I couldn't figure out what it was about or how old it was. I can say I so did not know what to expect, in the best way. Wrote about it on Letterboxd.

one of the greatest human triumphs of my lifetime is the relentless, unceasing, heroic effort by DECADES' worth of doctors and scientists to find a cure for a disease much of the world didn't take seriously for years because it predominantly affected a community they thought kinda deserved it

You can just say "yes, he is a racist" or "yes, obviously he is a racist" or "are you fucking kidding me, what kind of stupid question is that in 2026?"

Every “gender-critical” transphobe, and every creepy transphobic journalist “just asking questions” is responsible for this.
Transphobia IS fascism.
Transphobia IS fascism.
The Venn Diagram between racists and transphobes is a circle.
The actions of the far right against migrants and how likes of many "gender critical activists" act towards trans and non-binary individuals are one and the same.

Isn't it super random that all of the "anti-woke" cancel culture academics who all leaned into transphobia and race science later in their careers all seem to be connected through Jeffrey Epstein?
