Doing some Vonnegutesque dancing around town this morning. Petting dogs, making goofy faces at cute babies, checking out the market stall holders and their wares. Making small talk with the guy who runs the laundromat. Farting around like I’m supposed to

Funny how talk of social contagion is always about restricting the identities and behaviours of young people, never about, say, once-respectable academics collecting reactionary ideas like an 8 year old collects interestingly-shaped rocks

In a move that will surprise absolutely no one who's been paying attention, Stock has decided that women with disabilities are suffering from "social contagion"

A times column header beneath a picture of Kathleen Stock: " KATHLEEN STOCK Why are young women using walking sticks? A disproportionate number of Gen Z females are affected by vague syndromes and may be victims of social contagion"

remember how Riley Gaines’ swimming coach raped a bunch of her teammates? then when her career path became TV Nazi she defended him and he claimed he was being targeted for standing up against trans women in sports? anyway she cares deeply about women and girls being safe.

Colleague who lives in my neighborhood texted me to see if I’d like to join him and his wife on an afternoon hike around town (6-7kms). Buddy, it’s 3:30pm. Everyone knows you hike in the morning and reward yourself with coffee, a nice lunch and a nap. How do I have to explain something so basic?

What I hate about COVID downplayers is… you won okay. In the aftermath of humanity coming together to develop the most crucial vaccines of our lifetime & collectively sacrificing to save lives, we are now less safe, less vaccinated & less empathetic than ever. You won ok. Lay down your swords.

Hi guys, I'm sorry to have to ask for this again but I really could use your support. My father died recently and now I have fallen behind on rent. If you could please chip in a few dollars, it would really help me keep going. I need to raise $10,000 asap to pay expenses. Thank you so much ❤️

We should close off Mt. Everest to climbers for 10-15 years. Humanity has turned a sacred mountain into the world's biggest outdoor toilet. During this time, all the locals should be getting global reparations plus equipment and money for cleaning up as much of the mountain as they safely can.

I’m wandering around an empty house on a cold/sunny Saturday morning. There’s a load of washing in the dryer, I just ate a bowl of delicious oats. The place is tidy and the bathrooms and kitchen are clean-ish. I’ve started Louise Erdrich’s “The Sentence” and enjoying it so far. Is this happiness?

El Sayed: "When it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need...It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours"

The idea that we can assent to the taking away of anybody’s rights, and think that somehow the government won’t come for all of our rights, is itself the problem. And, look, I don’t need people to understand how they use their rights. I just need people to agree that the government shouldn’t be able to take any of our rights. I put my face on the ground thirty-four times a day, David. Most people don’t understand why I do it. I don’t need them to understand. I just want to have the right to do it. And when people decide that they want to take away my right to do that, I’ve got a problem.Now, I hope that everybody’s going to show up and say, No, no, no. You can’t stop that person or that community from reflecting and praying as they choose. Similarly, when it comes to trans rights, this is the right to get the health care that you need. That’s really what it comes down to. It’s the right to be who you are. It’s the right not to be discriminated against by your government because of who you are. Because what tends to happen is they come for theirs, then they come for yours, then they come for theirs. And at some point you live in a society where rights are negotiable, and that is not the America I was born in. It’s not the America I know and love. It’s not the America I’m going to allow somebody like Donald Trump to give us.

All the Fauci stuff is a modern day version of the POW/MIA stuff after Vietnam - a way to try to rewrite the history of a huge failure of conservative ideology to be instead a story about how liberals and foreigners stabbed us in the back.

Christopher Nolan can’t right dialogue for humans. Like, cannot write for real people for shit. Which is why his best film will forever and always be Dunkirk. A near-perfect silent action movie almost on a par with Fury Road. Incidentally director George Miller is Greek. Just saying #theodyssey

Post by Themboy Insomniac: if i were christopher nolan i would be so intensely embarrassed of having such a virulently, eagerly misogynistic fanbase that they reacted to my first ever attempt to write "feminist" themes by having a feeding frenzy on a woman who didn't like it, i would disappear into the woods forever.

Hey folks! Sitting enmired in my brokeness, it's rough. We have only my partner's income as a service worker plus pennies that dribble in, he's given his whole paycheck to rent. He says, you help, consider getting help sometimes. So that's my appeal if you can support! buymeacoffee.com/chantaljames

the upcoming elections are simply too important to be doing risky things like nominating muslims, opposing wars, standing up for immigrants and trans kids, or taking a strong stand against paramilitary squads summarily executing our neighbors outside their homes. i wish this weren't true but it is

Jessica Tarlov was put on this earth to be Liz Lemon to Rupert Murdoch’s Jack Donaghy. Why do you think she wears that silly costume? She’s dressed/groomed the way maga dipshits in Deep Red Lobotomyville think all East Coast Liberal Feminists look FFS she goes to the same parties as Jesse Watters
