I typically enjoy classic lit adaptations, but the “I never read Wuthering Heights, but this new version is awesome, because we’re excusing it as a fever dream” thing is an…issue. The novel was about trauma, racism, and abuse. (1/?)

The Orville is top notch. Starts off silly and a little awkward, but became a truly great piece of resistence Sci Fi. Dolly Parton was in one of the last episodes, which dealt with gender identity and civil rights.

I really like this essay because it’s explicit that the neighborhood envisioned by people like Simonoff is truly dystopian. They lack a vision of anything that doesn’t involve racialized anxiety and fear, and that’s what they are trying to sell us.
“It’s an auspicious coincidence that Sunday’s Super Bowl offered a counterargument to Ring’s dystopian vision in the form of Bad Bunny’s halftime spectacle, which featured the ‘La Casita’ concept that made his recent Las Vegas residency so critically acclaimed”

Back on the bird platform, I used to create lists of queer historical romances by themes. Then the options began dwindling, but I’ve been collecting them for decades, so I think it’s time to publish my own.

Just picked this one up, as well as titles by @elliethomas.bsky.social and @klnoone.bsky.social which has become like a holiday tradition.
Two covens face failing magic. When hybrid witch Wren meets young elder Celeste, a powerful connection forms. Can their love heal what centuries have broken?

James Talarico: No one's ever asked me about the cost of housing. The only thing the media wants to ask me about are trans athletes.

The only minority destroying this country is the billionaires. Trans people are 1% of the population. We are all focused on the wrong 1%.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

I’ve spent years of my life trying to explain to people that anti-trans conservatism naturally flows from their belief that children in the American nuclear family are not individuals with autonomy, but instead property of the parents and state, and this guy just… tweeted it out

Small steps, but I've ditched Spotify for Qobuz this morning.

It was easy to transfer my playlists. I understand we have to navigate this online world, but I can't in good conscience support a company that funds ICE and AI weaponry.

This year I'm reviewing the lot.

🚨NEW POLL🚨This race is in a statistical tie.

Texans are fed up with paying the Greg Abbott Corruption Tax – we’re ready for change.

We're building a movement of working Texans ready to take our state back, and we'll be hard at work every day until we win.

I’m running for governor.

For over a decade, Greg Abbott has made it easier for billionaires to profit while hardworking Texans struggle to afford groceries, housing, and healthcare.

But together, we can make Texas work for Texans again.
