D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state.
But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed.
D.C. statehood now.

I understand an argument has been made about why to stay on the former Twitter. Here is my counterargument: It's a miserable fucking place run by a fascist catering to fascists, and I've been much happier not being on it, so there

Silksong was developed the way it was because the developer didn't have to worry about money.
The only way you get more games developed like Silksong is if Universal Basic Income becomes a thing.

Trans people are worth protecting. Not because we are amazing people (although we are) or because we offer a great deal to society (although we do) or because we are fine as hell (we are). We are worth protecting because we are HUMAN BEINGS, and it’s amazing how often that simple fact is forgotten.

I’m back! I saw your messages on here & elsewhere—thank you all <3. I’m deeply disappointed in @bsky.app moderation; equating pushback against people like JKR with the harm they cause to trans ppl only enables more violence. I’ll talk more soon but even a day away from social media has been healthy.

Bluesky moderation suspending trans people for wishing ill on the members of a hate group who are actively working to eradicate us shows us what a morally bankrupt crock of shit civility is and how it only serves to punish victims and protect victimizers. Bluesky should be ashamed of themselves.

This is why I can't take "Heinlein is required reading" seriously
Some of y'all are so high on white male exceptionalism that I'm amazed you even notice the rest of us have opinions

my serious analysis of the idea of a stewart run is that he is too much of a "pox on both houses," anti-politics, anti-partisan to be able to do the work of reconstruction and reform in the wake of trump. zeteo.com/p/should-jon...
Should Jon Stewart Run for President in 2028?
I was skeptical about a Stewart candidacy, but maybe ‘The Daily Show’ host is the right person to shake up the Democratic presidential primaries.

8/12/25 is the 8th anniversary of the Charlottesville rally that resulted in the death of Heather Heyer, 2 others, + traumatic injuries to many more. Remembering is, in itself, a politically significant act, particularly in the present environment, so, while the statue is gone, the memory lives on.

Just saw someone repost this so I thought I'd resurface it for everyone. It's still relevant.
Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.
