I could fill a library with my love for Jeremy Owens. He was recently diagnosed with ASL and his insurance has denied coverage of the lifesaving medication prescribed by his neurologist. Later I will rage at the American healthcare system but now, my friend needs help. Please give if you can.

My beloved friend (and my favorite writer) @meganstielstra.bsky.social is given the flowers she’s always deserved here!! 🎉💐😻 And it pulls one of my all-time favorite quotes from her: “if you’re hiding parts of yourself to look cool or make someone love you, please repeat after me: fuck that noise.”

Jesus wept. I just called my US rep and senators and told them they have to do everything they can to stop this genocide. I told them I don't care if they're in the minority. They have options. I told them to chain themselves to the White House fence. Please call your reps, too. reps.fyi

God help us.

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
