This is a good way to write about the anti-trans sentiment popping up around the WNBA lately, imo. It's gross and bad, and people should say that plainly!
WNBA Suspends Seattle Storm Minority Owner For Being Rude To Transphobic Shitheads | Defector
On Tuesday night, a small group of weirdos held an anti-trans rally outside of the Seattle Storm’s home arena. The occasion for their gathering was a game against the Indiana Fever and bench player So...

This is me in my purest form: post swim, under a blanket, with Steely Dan and Van Halen playing for some reason.
Whenever I come on here at night, I often wonder what percentage of us are under the influence of the sinsemilla (You don’t have to out yourselves, it’s an idle kind of curiosity)

If you’re white and have ever run a red, drove with a headlight out, or gone 80 in a 70mph zone (I’ve done all three) and gotten away with it, maybe throw a small bill Rachel’s way so this young guy doesn’t suffer undue punishment for doing the same. v: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel
Rachel Bean, still sick but less@colocharachel.bsky.social · 4mo agoHi all. I’m coming to y’all with a personal need. If you’ve been connected to me since Twitter, you may remember that I have a young man/mentee in my life from our time in St. Louis. He owes some court fees for some ongoing racist St. Charles County shit and I want to help him pay them.
The Rejection Letters keep on hitting! Woohoo!!! Rent due on the first as well as all kinds of bills and the turn around on Jobs telling me to get fucked is down to like 9 hours. V:@/JKNotSoBad C:$:/JKNotsobad PP:@/comfortingmoo Everything helps. and gets a moxie picture. *screams in gratitude*
Really good piece on my friend Erik, one of the Minnesota 15. ““Far more important than anything that happens to us is continuing to organize against the armed masked people in our streets,” Davis said.”
Guardian US@us.theguardian.com · last wk.Erik Davis is accused by the government of a ‘conspiracy’ to obstruct ICE – experts say it’s part of a pattern to criminalize lawful organizing and ruin activists’ lives
I have a feeling nobody saw this, so please see it now. Imagine being the artist who painted those everything-but-the-nips tiddies on that plane. Thank goodness they had a full photo lab on site to document it?!
Alexis@offalcute.bsky.social · 6d agoMy photographer grandpa worked in sales, like his dad, until he was trained in photography in the service during WWII. Then he and a buddy absconded with the equipment and started a business together! Here he is in a most iconic image.
I’ll fudge the dates here to say that if I were either of my grandmas, I‘d be a dime store clerk or not be working. If I get to be my grandpas, I’d either be working in a plastics factory or running a portrait photography studio. Funny enough, that studio was 4 blocks from my house.
Revan@revan.eurosky.social · 7d agoEnough “what would you do on the commune questions” If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparent’s job, what are you doing?
I fucking knew it and you probably did too. Certainly Jacob Frey & Strib publisher Steve Grove did.
elliot hughes@elliotshughes.bsky.social · 7d agoA Star Tribune spokesman on Wednesday confirmed the company reached a deal with Legacy Investing, the firm that transformed part of downtown’s Sleep Number Building into a data center for artificial intelligence and cloud computing:
Today was really hard, emotionally speaking. Seeing people I previously thought of as friends use the circumstances of a person's pain to make jokes was really jarring. In their minds, it's mocking the Mayor and her behavior. But all I'm seeing is 'haha wiener' and minimizing the pain of harassment.
I genuinely don’t know who needs to hear this, but sexual harassment and violence allegations aren’t joke fodder. Including when the victim is a man. And when the harasser is someone you find politically objectionable. And when the jokester is a cool bar that’s always been pretty good at allyship.
Screenprint as seen in Mpls: a government mustn't announce that they have become fascist, they must only announce that anti-fascists are the enemy of the state. Support the Minnesota 15

Ma Carol@caroodles.bsky.social · last wk.I’m shocked at how many people I met at the produce section of 3 grocery stores I go to that had no idea about cyclospora. Including the staff working there. Now I understand how many people don’t follow politics and have no idea what’s going on.
Recently spent a weekend with friends who were so confused by my concerns. Needless to say, I didn’t eat the pico they made.

I was so absorbed by being dragged back into my former life as a literary scholar today that I missed the local politics tea. Who did what to who?

I’ve been a genealogy dork for close to 30 years. One of the kind of cool (but occasionally treacherous) things about the evolution of family research sites into more social spaces is you end up sharing notes with someone halfway across the world.
