It took Tim six months to work up the nerve to open the box. When Roy had shown up with it in hand, weeks after Jason had gone dark– and a full week after he'd expected to hear from him again– he hadn't been ready to believe it. Jason couldn't be gone, and Roy couldn't have known to bring him his personal effects like he was some war widow.  But Jason was gone, and Roy knew to bring these things to him. Tim couldn't even be mad that Jason hadn't been able to keep his promise to keep their relationship a secret. Not when he'd broken his promise to always come back to him.  The red notebook sat atop a neatly folded leather jacket, a silent test of his resolve. He picked it up with shaking fingers, sinking heavily onto the couch before daring to open it. He knew this journal, the little notebook Jason was always scribbling or doodling in when they met for a post-patrol meal.  His fingertips traced over the grain of the leather book, feeling out where Jason's touch had worn it down from use.  Tim was stalling, he could admit. He braced himself and opened to the first page.  It was a recipe, something Tim recognized instantly as Jason's favorite from the little hole in the wall on the boundary between their patrols. He'd raved to Tim about the Brewat the first time they tried them, then set out to charm the recipe out of the nice old lady who ran the place. By the time they were considered regulars she'd given him enough tips and “good” spices from her home country that Tim wasn't quite sure she wasn't going to try and match him with one of her granddaughters. He laughed despite himself, ignoring that it came out as more of a hiccuping sob.  The next few pages were more of the same, various recipes and doodles of the food in the margins, drawings of Tim in escalating stages of sleep deprivation– the one where he had fallen asleep with a french fry hanging from his mouth like a cigarette was hopefully fictional– were charming. It was a sweet little glimpse into Jason's head during the pockets of time they shared.  He managed to hold it together until the sketches changed from small, ad-hoc drawings when the moment struck him to something with more intention.  It was a list of names, jotted down with commentary and Tim could hardly look at it without feeling like his chest was tearing open.  Red’s Place (Reds’ Place?) Red on Red? (sounds a little like a sex tape??)  Red Rum Diner (Tim will veto but worth a shot lol)  The Claret Door (sounds like they sell twenty dollar cocktails, no) Birdies’ (Too close to the night job– Tim might not like?) Jason had put a lot of thought into this. When they met up post patrol or mission so Jason could get some food into Tim and hang out with him long enough that he could finally fall asleep– Jason had been quietly thinking– dreaming– of a future that looked very different.  A future with him. And Tim hadn’t even known.

If there's one thing I've learned in my 44 years, it's that everything starts on the West Coast as the weirdest shit you've ever heard in your life--and within 15-20 years, it's just mainstream US culture.

So, thank you, Los Angeles, you beautiful bastard. You are America.

Digitally illustrated graphic with big, bold, black text in the center reading "trans lives are more important than harry potter". Two cats with alternating colours of the trans flag lay above the top left and bottom right of the text, turning it pink & blue where they cross over.

Reggie Watts addresses Thom Yorke’s statement on Palestine and it’s good
Reggie Watts statement, 1 of 2: “I was disappointed to see that Thom's statement centers his hurt feelings and frames his fans' demands for him to speak up as a "social media witch hunt," instead of recognizing the urgency of their call for him to speak out against the world-historical humanitarian crisis in Palestine. I hope Thom will reflect and decenter himself from the public outcry against the genocide, because if he and his artistic legacy stand for love and humanity as he asserts, he can come to see his fans' actions as an act of loving solidarity with suffering people-a needed affirmation of our humanity in these dark times.” Reggie Watts statement 2 of 2: “I also want to address Thom's repetition of a common rhetorical tactic of those who are devoted to maintaining the status quo, that one cannot speak up or demand an end to the genocide unless they fully understand the deep "complexity" of this historical conflict. I urge Thom's fans to reject this conviction-neutralizing, demobilizing sentiment and trust their hearts. You don't need to be a geopolitics scholar to know that starving children and slaughtering families is wrong. Your membership in the human family gives you authority and, indeed, responsibility to speak up. All positive change starts with conscious and loving people raising their voices and working together to bring a better world into existence. Please keep fighting until our sisters and brothers in Palestine are free.”

Miss Rachel isn’t on Bluesky, but her posts about Gaza should be. I wish this wasn’t so unusual to see from people with big platforms.
A post on Threads from Miss Rachel, a well-known children’s educator and entertainer: “What’s it like for kids in Gaza?” my little boy asks me. Well, kids don’t have medical care & can’t go to the doctor like us. They don’t get to go to school like you & learn & play. They don’t have enough food or water or a safe place to live. “Why?”🥺 I feel my heart breaking. I can’t tell my son it’s some natural disaster. That there’s not enough food or medicine in the world. It’s that grown-ups are keeping these basic human rights away from children. It’s a choice. Two posts on Threads from Miss Rachel, a well-known children’s educator and entertainer. The first post says: “Leaders - Be so ashamed that your constituents are begging & pleading for you speak out and you stay silent. Be so ashamed that you put money & power & your career before the lives of precious children of God. Be so ashamed that our religions tell us to give to the poor, feed the hungry & open our arms to all children & you pretend that they mean only for some children.” The second post says: “Celebrities as well. If everyone says something it won’t be controversial anymore. It’s never been wrong to say starving and bombing kids is wrong. God help everyone have the strength to say something. Please, God.” A post on Threads from Ms Rachel, a popular children’s educator and entertainer: “If you want to be remembered for saying something about Gaza before the entire world does, now would be the time.”

I'm seeing a lot more discussion of covid in the past few days. Just to say that for most people, wearing an ffp2 mask is easy, and those of us who can should do it for those of us who can't. That's how compassion works. It can still disable people and it baffles me that nobody is acknowledging this

For those just catching up: Gaza and the West Bank already fell into the historic definition of concentration camps

These are death camps with the express purpose of ethnic cleansing and extermination

This is about basic civil rights. What are our protections? Who’s accountable?

Not sure how to do this. My partner and light of 19 years, @mitzistarkweather.bsky.social has been diagnosed with metastatic (stage 4) breast cancer.

We are hopeful that modern treatment can give her many more years of changing the world.

If you’re able, we could use your help.
