Myriam Gurba took down 'American Dirt.' It might be the least interesting thing about her
Gurba's essays, collected in 'Creep,' showcase an unblinking gaze at gender-based violence and other cruelties, which the author would rather be known for.

The indictment is so blunt in tone it's sassy.

The very second sentence calls Trump a loser: "The Defendant lost the 2020 presidential election."

The highlight of my evening was having @lesbrains.bsky.social read it out loud while we sat around laughing.

If you're enjoying Bluesky and you don't want it to turn into the cesspool of hate that Twitter did, you best speak up now. Cut that 'I don't know what to say' shit out and amplify Black and queer voices, because the BS team ain't listening to us.

Hate crimes targeting the trans community were higher in Los Angeles than any other major city last year, an increase of nearly 70% compared to 2021.
Liberal LA Has Become an Epicenter of Violent Culture Wars. Here’s How.
Last month, three separate protests outside LA-area schools against "grooming" turned violent as newly radicalized parents joined forces with a familiar group of culture war extremists.

FYI: What is more likely to kill you than a shark?

Answer: Falling out of bed is 450x more likely to kill you than a shark, followed by deer, bees, lightening, dogs, cows, snakes, & vending machines.

You're 2x as likely to be killed by a vending machine, 20x as likely to be killed by a cow.

I wrote about Caitlin Bernard, an Indiana doctor who was subjected to a year-long harassment campaign by state officials for telling the truth about abortion bans. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/jul/10/indiana-abortion-doctor-10-year-old-child-rape

Caitlin Bernard deserves a statue for her service. Instead, she’s been harassed and persecuted
