I know I've posted this many times - needs to flood the media until election day.

Getting old as slow as I can. Writing, theater, Europe travel. Fan of the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust🐘. Multicultural. "Gloriously, irreducibly human." I block lurkers and crypto.
Have you been to Angel Falls in Canaima National Park, Venezuela? A UNESCO World Heritage Site. It's over 3,000 feet tall, about 2 and a half times taller than New York's Empire State Building!
A day in the life. #Ukraine. Go home, bombers, you're drunk.
1:32 am in Kyiv. Explosions outside. Missiles. And missiles again.
¡Qué perro tan bonito! ¿De qué raza es? >I'm learning basic social (Catalan) Spanish. Correct me if somethimg sounds awkward 😊
Oh, that Mitch McConnell. Always going on camera to send reassuring messages to his constituents, chat about his physical therapy routine, and discuss his trips to meet with business and science leaders.
Horrific what I C E did to young W.R.G Perez. Here's an update.
Update on the condition of Wilber Rafael Garcés Pérez at the South Texas Ice Processing Center. He’s being taken to the hospital. He is in tremendous pain and tells us that the bullet is still inside his left side. He can’t move the left side of his body.
It's very disorienting drinking a pumpkin spice latté when it's 91 degrees (33⁰C) out. #EndlessSummer
So right now, there's a young doordash driver in Texas with a bullet lodged in his shoulder. Guess who did that? Not the Austin P.D. Not a drug dealer.
The horror has come to our city: ICE has shot a person in Austin this morning. As the facts emerge, I am demanding a full, independent investigation, immediate release of the body camera footage, and accountability for any ICE officer who broke the law.
The Republicans I knew, pre-2015, called for stupidly simple answers to complex problems. Build a wall. Less regulation. Lower my taxes. No gay weddings. Trickle down. The problem is, simple, non-inventive solutions cause more problems than they fix. And now, in 2026, Republican votes got us HERE.
What in the #dysfunction junction is this? This has to be the most perverted official doc ever released.
NEWS: The Pentagon has announced mandatory low-testosterone screenings for male troops 30 and older, including screening for symptoms such as “reduced libido, loss of spontaneous morning erections, erectile dysfunction,” and other symptoms.

Night night sweet dreamies Just a little reminder: you don’t have to get everything right, and you don’t have to have everything figured out. All you can ever do is the best you can with the day you’ve been given. That is enough. You are enough
The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was not just randomly named after that President.
Friend shared this video of a man unveiling the library he hid when he fled Damascus in 2011. It’s incredible
News outlets repeating political lies? That's lazy and irresponsible. But it took more than that to kill journalism. R.i.p. #60Minutes #WaPo
Even if they don't out and out lie, its death by a million cuts. It's all the things that don't make the news hour. All the things that affect our lives, our children, our planet, our Democracy, our health... that don't get reported. And normalising the denials, the arrests, the silencing.
Contraceptives for men. Besides condoms. What do think, Sisters? www.popularmechanics.com/science/a711...
Scientists May Have Finally Created a Male Birth Control Pill—So Far, It Shows Very Few Side Effects

Whitney Houston wore this casino jacket designed by Bob Mackie. RIP iconic fashion designer Bob Mackie.
The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020. — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.
Yep, or maybe shortly after this November election. ⚠️⚠️⚠️⚠️
Of Course, We Know Their Game...
From New York's Mayor. Words aren't important enough for this image.
If Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Elon Musk all agree that we have to slow down - and now - something serious clearly happened with a frontier AI model. Journalists should be digging in to this. We aren’t getting the whole story here.

If I had to teach today, I would ask my class to turn in their pre-AI paper and their post-AI paper, and to submit four AI revisions they liked, and at least 3 that diluted their voice or alteted their message. #teaching #AI #writingskills
Mark Bingham, along with Todd Beamer, Tom Burnett and Jeremy Glick, hatched the plan to retake the fourth plane from Sept 11 hijackers, a plan that ultimately saved countless lives. Bingham was a 6’4″ gay rugby player who "hated to lose at anything." www.thepinknews.com/2026/09/11/m...
This fearless gay hero – a Flight 93 passenger – saved hundreds of lives on 9/11
Maybe because of the lack of visible heroes for LGBTQ people, there’s a greater significance in finding heroes.
