Holy Boy Novel Review I can already tell Holy Boy is one of those titles that is going to stay with me for a long time. When I first began reading it, I realized I’d need to close the covers or else I’d be up all night fol...

At a time when fan entitlement of celebrity bodies is through the roof, this thriller about kidnapping a K-Pop idol is more relevant than ever: www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/holy-...

My goal was to draw 30 horse girls in January. Each one got more complex, and I only drew 12. But that's still 12 drawings I didn't have before.

I cannot emphasize enough that horse girl yuri is the glue that is holding my life together

For the general strike today, I went to my local romance bookstore Friends And Lovers to connect with community, write letters to my representatives, and buy the green yuri with cash.

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesiveβ€”because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about β€œWestern civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significantβ€”though not finalβ€”victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong.

Went to a neighborhood block party and a hyperlocal Dems party and it made me feel more hopeful and ready to take action than the last few weeks of reading the news did.

This is why trans rights are my number one issue.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

I can’t get over all the journalists and centrist pundits who sneered that β€œTwitter isn’t real life” when it was full of weird leftists but now insist it’s a vital window into the public mood when the entire site is Nazis, illegal porn, bots, and Belarusians calling themselves β€œIowa MAGA Farm Guy”
