lmaooo somehow i feel like if you're trying to quantify the hours you've spent meditating it defeats the purpose of meditating (but what do i know, it's not like my family's hosted buddhist monks for several decades)

Absolutely second this. Nia and Tessa are incredible, and I also recommend the first movie they did together, Little Woods. In my top 10 of movies in the last decade, and so fucking real about borders, the medical system, making ends meet, and the reality of giving birth today.
Hello, I’m Saeed and I’d like to recommend a great movie to watch.
“Hedda” starring Tessa Thompson, directed by Nia DiCosta.
If you love dangerous queer women, big parties and even bigger scandals, this adaption is for you.
You’re welcome.
(No, no, I wasn’t looking for feedback.)

guys i'm about to no longer exist
Michigan lawmakers have introduced a bill prohibiting the any "depiction or description" of trans people or trans existence online, including it in a bill banning "pornographic" material
The bill would completely erase trans people online, equating them with porn.

Total porn ban proposed by Michigan lawmakers
Some states have moved to require age verification to ensure only adults are watching porn, but no states have outright banned the viewing of pornographic material.

Charlie Kirk’s shooter was a 22 year old white cis man & 4chan groyper.
Charlie Kirk’s last words were “gang violence”. he was claiming Black people were inherently violent right before his life was ended by another white man.
Here is a description of Kirk’s terrorism by one of his many victims:
