the universe may be dying. entropy will probably win. but I exist at the same point in space time as cool ranch doritos. I wonder what other snacks I’ll get to eat

usually I have something hopeful to say on TDOR and this year I just don't know what to say other than we must stay alive. Being in the limbo of things used to be better, but they also used to be worse is tough, but in these times we must LIVE.

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

Mamdani in the pocket of big sushi, confirmed. Glad I'm in Philly where we have a graet mayor.
i don't get it. omen sushi in nyc is cheaper than nobu in malibu, where you dined last year without your wife

I feel like I am missing out on learning a crucial skill in identifying these patterns and tells. Maybe I should start using chatgpt 🤔 Just ironically though... For the inoculation.
"it isn't just X—it's Y" is by far the most annoying ChatGPTism

I was at Wiggles Ground Zero in 2001, when they came to a theatre I managed in NJ at the start of their rise.
I’m forever scarred by the image of 1,000 toddlers cultishly mesmerized by “Tiny Kangaroo Down Sport,” while their parents Thunderdomed it over merch.
Also … absolutely, yes they have.

When I hear Ryan Gosling, I still immediately think of The Notebook. This, I suppose, makes me old.
Aaand, now I'm remembering pretending not to like it— much less have bawled while watching it— because egg. Damn I really robbed myself of so many experiences trying to pretend to be a normal dude.

Notice the sexually-charged language that makes anything trans people do, no matter how innocuous, obscene simply by nature of it being done by a trans person.
Reactionaries project their psychosexual hang-ups onto trans people and call us perverse for their blatant, open sexual harassment of us.

This is fundamentally why this capitulation or compromise game doesn't work. The anti trans side doesn't want some "reasonable" compromise on sports or other issues.
They see trans people as less than human who should be eradicated from society. You can't compromise with that.

this isn’t crass. intranational refugees can’t all afford sf or portland or nyc. if your state claims to be a haven for huddled masses yearning to breathe free, it needs infrastructure to support them. what good is a safe state if you can’t afford to live in it & homelessness gets you jailed?🧵
this is going to sound crass but my main opinion on the recent vile, bigoted, deliberately anti-medical supreme court decision on trans care is that in the immediate term blue states have to rapidly build more housing and help people get here

"To be penetrable is to be a receptacle for the sins of the impenetrable, a vessel for their grief and turmoil and especially, especially their despair and rage"
Holy hell can this woman write.
Example above cuts to the bone, but much of this essay is also deeply funny.

Today, I finally commit to paper a concept that has become increasingly central to how I conceive of and discuss radical feminism, so as to better facilitate the comprehensiveness of future pieces (like 'Epistemic Vandalism', still in the works).
So let's talk about penetrability.

Understanding Transmisogyny, Part Four: Penetrability
How a society so singularly fixated on the phallus manages to be so, so very unsexy.

they are trying to outlaw being transgender in this country and this is just the first step. they were never going to stop at sports. they weren’t going to stop at bathrooms. they want a trans genocide. it is so important to spread awareness of this
🚨 The US House of Reps have now PASSED their budget bill that includes a BAN on Gender Affirming Care for Medicaid for ALL AGES.
This bill now goes to the Senate where it’s likely to pass.
Call your Senators!

I guess the oddest thing about the concept of "gender-critical" is that gender literally is "society & culture telling people how to exist in their bodies in acceptable ways".
And that's what "gender-critical" people want more of, not less.

Unexpected silver lining to transitioning during the current political fuckery:
People who might not have been so accepting in other times hate our asshole president so much that they are eager to be supportive of people he's repeatedly spoken against.
