we just imported someone from there and i'm making excellent progress on getting everyone in the house calling western massachusetts wema. like fema.
if you have a serious take on the western mass lesbian bar drama i actually hate you it turns out. whichever direction your take goes in, i hate you. i hate you for trying to make this my problem. and i hate you for doing the right wing's work for them. anyway hope this helps.
I stayed on a guy’s houseboat in Portovenere in Italy in 2016 and he introduced me to his friend, a woman who had trained a local seagull couple to eat cheese out of her hands
it's hard to describe to young folks how cool airbnb was when it first launched. just weirdos and spare rooms for like twenty bucks. we stayed at a guy's house in oregon who was a "bear safety expert" and when we asked him what to do if a bear attacked you he replied, completely seriously "i dunno."

I was on my way somewhere and was stuck in traffic there. On my way back (on the other side of Claiborne) I saw the accident. Definitely take alternative routes bc it was still closed 20 min ago (and didn't look like they were about to be done picking up the 18-wheeler. www.wdsu.com/article/new-...

when a state passed a bathroom bill in 2016, it cost their economy $400 million, there were major protests, states cut off non-essential travel there for government workers. the *president* condemned it now, democrats are saying "public sentiment just isn't there yet"
$500k to cover more transphobic acton ads in ohio $0 to cover healthcare for young trans people in illinois
NEW: Illinois First Lady MK Pritzker, wife of Governor JB Pritzker, announces she’s sending $500,000 to Amy Acton after Vivek Ramaswamy’s truly vile ad featuring Acton’s estranged mom.
closing out and getting a walking-home beer. dragula is playing while two guys next to me - one irish accent, one chalmatian - about whether somebody was assassinated by either reagan or mossad not sure how they wound up arguing about the distinction but they're on the case and the weather is perf
psg supporters are out here frenching it up watching champions league and dissing quebecois separatists which makes for fun eavesdropping BUT they have a friend called corinne which makes for horrific not-eavesdropping
2wks, so let's put the cards on the table. aside from evan's reply (<3 & respect evan) i got 3 DMs from buds. each asked me to pull back based on knowing tyler from a gc i used to be in but got kicked from post al-aqsa flood. none challenged my take, justsaid i was being rude. there's transparency.
i don't wanna start internal movement drama on bluesky (and would urge you to consider adopting the same policy) but I will say that I know these folks and think they are doing good work 🤷♀️ diversity of tactics and all that but they are filling a gap left by Big Gay and I think it's important
it's offensive but for the opposite reasons like ctfo if pedro pascal gaf he'd be fucking is on camera let's not kid ourselves or downplay or our endgame hotness
Sorry but this made me laugh. The same folk offended by this t-shirt are the same ones who laugh at stories of refugees drowning in the Channel so forgive me if I don't take them seriously
yours would be too if you spent all day licking it
you don't get 3AM voice memos from a qpp like this unless you've been making hell of correct life choices
i got super stoned and had the worst spaghetti of my entire life but the best spaghetti-based experience I've had in my entire life and i don't know how else to say that
i got these $18 iems the ASR forums were praising & they're fine but i wanted them to fill in when it's too embarrassing to do 400lb planars & ig either these sundaras spoiled me or iems - which are theoretically supposed to be able to run laps around headphones - got worse since my moondrops broke?

if anybody did any kind of disparate impact analysis on the distribution of our boil water advisories the report would inevitably conclude that wow holy shit we do so many -isms through s&wb policy
look we all hate minorities ok but ur not supposed to say it explicitly, that's gauche af u gotta do like "VBNMW!!!!" or "well then enjoy the camps loser" or "this is the most important election ever get in the fucking oven!!" or whatever at least put a lil fag leaf over the really shameful bits
Look at the shabby state and increasingly authoritarian trajectory of the country and ask yourself if we can endure 2 more years of a lawless Trump administration wreaking havoc with no check from Congress, then vote accordingly. This is not the time for a protest vote or purity politics.
Despite Seattle's reputation as a trans haven, the University of Washington has reacted to escalating attacks on trans rights with silence — even after a trans student was murdered. But trans academic workers, unionized with UAW, are fighting back. Our latest, from @thefreeradical.org.

say what again. i dare you. i double dare you, motherfucker. say what again one more goddamned time.
Add another Democratic candidate who has taken an anti-trans stance this campaign. Virtually everyone missed this one. Adam Hamilton's US senate campaign in Kansas called transgender girls "boys," opposed athletics, and was in favor of a surgery ban. Haven't seen this one reported anywhere yet.

"Moms for Liberty is deploying artificial intelligence to monitor school board agendas across more than 13,000 school districts nationwide, giving parents advance warning about controversial policies before local officials vote on them, Fox News Digital has learned."
i will keep saying that cis people will simply ignore any law they feel like until everyone is forced to stop pretending "sanctuary" states have been doing anything other than corporate marketing. they'll ignore the rest of the law too, just give them time 🏳️⚧️
