In January I got this crazy notion I could produce an adult variety show centered around puppetry, burlesque, and queer joy. That show just sold out 😭😭😭
As of 10:50pm EST 🤯

Thank you all so much. We’ve still got exciting things to tell you this week, and we can’t wait to see you on Friday!

Guess this needs saying. Again.

Transphobia is bigotry. Transphobes are bigots.

Yes, even that author you like.

Yes, even that celebrity you love.

Yes, even that relative who is always sweet and kind to *you*.

Tonight, I had my first random, "Hey, @elfiekins.bsky.social!!! So much easier to spot you with the tattoo 😁," from a friend I haven't seen in ages.

Also tonight, from a bartender, "OMG my partner is a tattoo artist, and I just texted him about your amazing Superman tattoo!!"

I need to make sure we're clear about something.

The fabled "3.5% of the population is enough to force change" figure isn't a magical talisman. It doesn't mean that as soon as we hit that number of people protesting, things will turn around.

It's a *requirement*, but it is not a *sufficiency*.

Sooooooo I'm producing a show in November :-D

there are powers that will do everything they can to convince you otherwise, but it should be said loudly that protest proves love. community is a conduit for love and oppression seeks to crush community. standing up to say no is an act of love

ICE vans ran through a crowd of anti-ICE protesters in Paramount, CA, at least two with extreme injuries, per @acatwithnews.bsky.social

A major fire is burning in the middle of the street, per Sean.
A large contingent of federal vehicles letft, pursued by protesters. One protester appears to have been hit by the vehicle, and was unconscious.pp

One of my favorite pieces of silly Superman trivia goes like this:

We know the LL pattern with Superman’s loves. Lana Lang. Lois Lane. Lex Luthor. But who never shows up in shows or movies? Superman’s college girlfriend, Lori Lemaris! 😮 She was a wheelchair user! 🤩 Because she was a mermaid! 🤯

I can’t stop being thrilled about how great this looks, even without yet touching-up and evening out the color.

Books are so fucking wild.

Like, they’re just dead trees smeared with carbon. But smeared at just the right rhythm and thickness to make you hallucinate sounds and smells and whole people and events.

But only if you train your brain how to hallucinate first.

Today I wrote a hybrid real/mock file system for .NET. All reads initially happen on the real file system, but writes happen on a mock file system. Subsequent reads of those same files are also on the mock system. So I can test changes to thousands of real files, without actually changing them.
