Reading this thread feels like that old Eddie Murphy sketch where he goes undercover as a white man and is like "... hold it" (also: tell me again that gossiping is a "feminized" vice lol)

They are not equivalent, but I do think every now and again about how the energy in both parties can be summed up as "fight fight fight"

I dunno man, if you're gonna run an interview with a Trump admin official that was recorded BEFORE he threw tear gas at a bunch of protestors but you air it AFTER I think it's on you to mention it

There have been 10 weeks of school so far in NYC. Only three of those weeks have been COMPLETE weeks, due to the abundance of holidays. (I refuse to count halloween week as a complete one - it just isn't.) Anyway, hang in there y'all

The thing about this "historical fact" nonsense is that.. gender was not listed on passports until recently?? Like: 70s, 80s. So: it's a "historical fact" that this data point is... not meaningful
On the blog: In approving Trump's transphobic policy of listing sex assigned at birth on passports, SCOTUS said govt was "merely attesting to a historical fact," thus echoing the obtuseness of Plessy v Ferguson's statement that Black folks were only choosing to see segregation as white supremacy. 👇

I wish the Dems were just less OBVIOUS. Like, somehow in a convo I had with @jvl.bsky.social the other week, *I* am now the Eeyore who could see where this was heading.

This is the energy, put it straight in my veins
I’ve never felt unsafe on a NYC subway. A few months ago, I was on one that stopped for about a half hour because of some malfunction, and a spontaneous dance party broke out.
A lot of people talk about how the NYC subway “feels dangerous” but please allow me to present the Dinosaur Bodega that was installed in my local stop
