Dolly understood that femininity was a glorious art form and she was a master at it. What a canvas. What an artisan.
Karaoke night songs: -“Only You” by Yazoo -“Any Man of Mine” by Shania Twain -“More Than This” by Roxy Music Also my friend’s very drunk mom called me beautiful multiple times and I will take the ego boost
The ag lobby really, really, really, really, really, really, really wants you to think AI is the reason reservoirs are going empty. It's not. It's agriculture.
Kent Lind@camasonian.bsky.social · last wk.We have data on this. The blue is all the non-ag human use:
Two types of cats: scared of the MGM lion vs. thinks she’s the MGM lion
Bill Chambers@flmfrkcentral.bsky.social · last wk.I keep forgetting the MGM lion scares my cat.
I still don't see why the term "slop" needs to be extended beyond the material circumstances of its creation (i.e. generated using AI) into broader ideas of reception and motive and aesthetics
Chicago DSA is proud to announce our Socialist Slate—six candidates fighting to represent the working class on City Council!
Wisconsin will almost certainly elect its first ever openly transgender state legislator this November as Madison Alderwoman Dina Nina Martinez-Rutherford won her primary in #AD76. Martinez-Rutherford will succeed Francesca Hong in this Madison seat
the media when the centrist loses by 1% vs the media when the leftist loses by (less than) 1%
Mommy party has to be responsible and daddy party doesn’t
Brendel@brendelbored.bsky.social · 2w agoNot going to pretend that I know who the best candidate for Wisconsin governor is but it does seem pretty rich that a tweet from seven years ago is apparently a big political scandal given the shit we see posted every single day by everyone in power
Hong made a lot of mistakes (no TV ads chief among them) but the degree to which the misogyny against her got ignored by is a real disgrace
The other day I was watching Frederick Wiseman’s Aspen and l lost it at the Gary Busey-looking art teacher telling all these old rich people to “draw the Warhols” of Mao
A fun thing is that I’m still fighting off a cold and it has delayed the 1-year-anniversary celebration I had planned with my girlfriend twice now while also keeping me from seeing my partner, friends, and just generally delaying things I either want or really need to do
Michelle@applynorules.bsky.social · 4w agoI’ve been sick since Wednesday and it’s led to many plans I had this week being postponed or canceled
In other Michigan news, the state looks set to elect it's first transgender lawmaker. Joanna Whaley won her Democratic primary and will compete in November for a state house seat, beating a primary opponent who tried and failed to disqualify her for not running under her deadname

Hey all, my girlfriend could use some help. She had to take three weeks off work following getting her tonsils out and having to have emergency surgery following a complication, please chip in if you can (here’s a pic of her adorable cat Hummus for you) Venmo: @strawbs137 Cash App: $strawbs137
Still at $1513 on the gofundme, anything to help with car repairs for when I take it into the shop on Thursday would mean a lot! We’re also in need of meds, toiletries, and other household supplies. Please boost if you see this! #MutualAid #TransCrowdfund
Liv ⚧️@ghostgirlmusic.bsky.social · last mo.We are currently struggling hard to deal with car repairs (my starter motor is failing following a break-in), make rent, and accomplish all of the other things that involve taking care of a teenager. Every $1 and repost on this gofundme really helps us out! gofund.me/f4ff50309

Just gonna say, as the author of the 2021 report, I stand by every single thing I wrote
Sal r.r. tamarkin@sal.gay · last mo.center for american progress (2021): "Trans inclusive policies "which allow transgender athletes to compete in accordance with their gender identity, should be implemented nationwide." Center for american progress in (2026): "restrictions may be appropriate under some circumstances"
nominating Acton is the disaster centrists are telling us Fran Hong would be
Parker Molloy@parkermolloy.com · last mo.Yeah, it's worth remembering that in 2018, a trans woman sued to be able to update her birth certificate, and Amy Acton fought against it in court. Look at the horrible stuff this woman was put through: www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-r...
Reminder that any trans person like Caleb Smith who does propaganda for transphobic Democrats is a traitor asking you to concede that trans women are essentially men, which is the only basis for trans sports bans. Any Democrat who says this believes trans women are men and should be voted against.
Corinne Green@ket.bsky.social · last mo.i want to make it clear that i'm consistent: i condemn this shit even from people i think of as friends. caleb & i poured over novel anti-trans bills together. often he was the only one who saw the same horrors as me - analysis that's been proven to be bang on. he has not responded to my text yet.
