Why does Guy Ritchie keep getting to make Sherlock Holmes things?
A government which does not want trans people to exist, and is legally allowed to force detransition in prisons, has created incentive for itself to put more trans people in prisons.
The purpose of this website is to help unburden your brain by releasing horrible sentences that live in there like demons
so as of today I'd like to purchase a school bus, paint it rainbow colors, drive it to Kansas and then give rides to all the transgender people who either want to go to work or leave Kansas altogether.
Someone get ICE Barbie to explain why theyβre terrorizing people and breaking the law in order to do it.
Every single day it gets worse and we continue to get no answers from this cruel, incompetent administration.
So much for law & order.
ABOLISH ICE!

The draft executive order floating around wants to force people to re-register to vote between now and the midterms.
Clearly beyond Trumpβs authority, and completely pointless unless your goal is to limit turnout
I'm trying to avoid commenting on the news for my own mental health but I still feel the need to comment on that "a state just legally codified the literal dehumanization of an entire class of people" feels like it should be blasting the headlines, and yet... nothing
About a quarter of all trans people in this country have moved states in possibly the largest internal migration of a particular minority group since the great migration. This is a full blown crisis.
An NPR investigation finds the public database of Epstein files is missing dozens of pages related to sexual abuse accusations against President Trump. n.pr/4qTItsU
I moved away from L.A. and slowly drifted from hockey but of course had to watch the USA men's game. WOW was that good. Brilliant, breathtaking playing. I was SO excited and all ready to jump back into the sport I loved and --
Well, fuck you, USA men's hockey.
I grew up a hockey fan in L.A. My dad and his brother had season tickets to the Kings back when the colors were purple and gold and no one came to the games - but we were there. I was a devoted fan for years - had my 16th bday at a Kings game. It was a huge part of my life. (1/2)
Being a woman is an endless reminder that the things you love never love you back.
A digital illustration of a fictional owl. In form similar to a barn owl with the same heart-shaped face but with the addition of feathery owl horns. It has a whitish face and belly and its wings, back, head, and tail are shared of deep red with gold spots and details including a gold tracing of its face shape and out to the end of the horns. It has deep, dark blue eyes and is perched on a branch. Next to the owl on the right is an hourglass the glass of which is housed in a slightly ornate gold structure with an organic viney motif. Most of the sand is in the bottom of the hourglass. Above that is some gold interconnected, art nouveau-esque lettering set inside a rectangle with a red background. The lettering reads βMaybe it will happen todayβ.
I was recently on the radio to talk about fanfiction with the brilliant @prof-anne.bsky.social & @dylanthyme.bsky.social, and I'm *so* pleased with how this conversation turned out. It's rare that you can get a lot of the nuances of fic into an ostensibly 101 conversationβand in under half an hour!
Can't imagine why Gallup recently decided to stop polling presidential approval rating.
It's mine too.

If I had a sign to tap, my sign to tap would say:

This photo says all you need to know about the state of the USA. The Epstein survivor standing up behind a smiling Pan Bondi who refused to acknowledge them multiple times through her hours-long testimony.

Absolutely
so sorry to hear this.
I had that happen, couldn't watch horror for years, and my kids are now college aged and I'm happy to report that I can totally watch horror again.
When he gave the Grammy to that young boy who made everyone think of Liamβ¦even if that wasnβt actually Liam, it was just the perfect way of cutting through all the bullshit.
Every kid impacted by this administrationβs cruelty is another Liam.
OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

This happens all the time. I throw elbows, usually. This time it didn't do a thing.
I gave up my spot. Which... whatever. It happens. Except you made me feel like I'm NOT A PERSON.
Anyway, what the FUCK, dude. You ruined my Shakedown Street.
Now I'm all about going with the flow, but... I'm a person? I'm already here? Can't you see me? Can't you FEEL ME SLAMMING INTO YOU because you stepped in front of my nose when there was plenty of space around us?
Because last night I was happily dancing in the same spot at DSO for the whole show, my husband right behind me, until some guy stepped right in front of my nose during drums/space and stayed there.
