I first saw @marawilson.bsky.social in Mrs. Doubtfire, so I will say that movie. Also, Mara and I know each other:

It took Skittles decades to make a M&Ms minis equivalent for their candies! Why did it take this long?

I’m really happy something like this exists.

On Substack, this is the Genocidal Nazi shit I have to deal with as comments on a Gazan’s Substack:
Pro 🇵🇸: Fuck Terrorist Jews Pro 🇵🇸: They should have been exterminated not let in Palestine. Jews can never be trusted.

The surest sign that what 🇮🇱 is doing in Gaza is a genocide is the lyrics to the Rush song "Red Sector A", which was written about the Holocaust. Very little–if any–would need to be changed to have the lyrics reflect what's going on in Gaza right now.
All that we can do is just survive All that we can do to help ourselves Is stay alive… Ragged lines of ragged grey Skeletons, they shuffle away Shouting guards and smoking guns Will cut down the unlucky ones I clutch the wire fence Until my fingers bleed A wound that will not heal — A heart that cannot feel — Hoping that the horror will recede Hoping that tomorrow — We’ll all be freed Sickness to insanity Prayer to profanity Days and weeks and months go by Don’t feel the hunger — too weak to cry I hear the sound of gunfire At the prison gate Are the liberators here — Ao I hope or do I fear? For my father and my brother, it’s too late But I must help my mother Stand up straight… Are we the last ones left alive? Are we the only human beings To survive?…

I was at a fiercely anti-Zionist Yizkor service at Brooklyn Borough Hall. How anti-Zionist? Rabbis there didn’t just say “ceasefire” and “stop sending 🇺🇸 tax $ to 🇮🇱”; they also said “equal rights for all people from the River to the sea” to huge cheers from Jews wearing Keffiyehs.

@cripdyke.bsky.social Just so you know, I went with my mom and her best friend to Canard on Burnside Ave. Here’s a shot of its exterior:

I also want to show you something: Mike Shinoda came to my local independent bookstore eleven years ago to see his wife sell her book. I asked if I could take a picture with him; he said yes!

While these people are counted as cops:
1. Security guards
2. Bouncers
No the discrepancy may be obvious, but I got pushback from this statement: [3]
Okay, so my cousin and her soon-to-be-wed fiancé invited me to this bar/restaurant in Portland, and the food was great, but what was even better was this: there were three single-occupancy bathrooms: male, gender-neutral, and female. I went into the female one. Now, since I live in NYC where every single-stall bathroom is gender-neutral, I wondered what the local laws are and if I was violating them. I realize I was in Portland, Oregon so I should be fine, but I wasn’t 100% certain. I asked my aunt originally from Long Island but now a Portlander and she said it was fine. But maybe I should ask some who works there, I thought. The security guard there was this tall, Amazonian woman with big breasts and a feminine voice. I told her that I used the women’s restroom and I was transgender. She replied: > I’m trans too! Don’t worry about it! Did I tell you that I fucking love Portland?

Good question, radicals.nyc . I donated mutual aid to Gazans and participated in the 2025 Dyke March. I wish there were more I could do, though.

Seriously, debating with you and people like you is like this American Chopper meme, every single fucking time:
American Chopper meme: Old guy: "Socialism Never Works!" Young guy: "Norway is socialist and they're doing great!" Old Guy: "They're not socialist! They're capitalist countries with strong welfare policies!" Young Guy: "Then let's adopt those policies!" Old Guy: "NO!!!! THAT'S SOCIALISM!!!!!"

Here's the snapshot in case they block me:
>Be a Jew >Sin all year >Transfer your sins to a chicken >Torture the chicken and kill it >The Chicken goes to hell instead of you >Yay! We fooled god Then there's a comic about an angel at the pearly gates accusing a chicken of "sucking on fresh circumcision blood, attempted genocide of Palestinians, [and] raping children in a sex trafficking ring"

This is how I feel about debating bigots:
