Just need to vent these feelings via art. Also the message that inspired this was months ago. Just been on my mind since then.

ICYMI: We’ve served over 450 million free school meals to students, saving families $1,000 per student each year. That’s a lot of full kids - and a lot of money back in families’ pockets.

So yes, I'm harsh on Dems that throw sports under the bus and call trans girls "boys." I know where this leads. And in fact, the attack ads over trans issues have only ramped up after these candidates have floundered.

As someone who has been covering transgender rights for years, let me be clear about something: When you see capitulation over sports, know that it NEVER stops at sports. And in fact, Turek illustrated this just yesterday when he embraced a federal ban on funding for all trans care.

Josh Turek in Iowa now takes the strongest anti-trans stance of any Democrat yet. “Josh opposes taxpayer-funded sex changes, and anyone who says otherwise is lying,” said Hannah Goss, a spokeswoman for the Turek campaign. This would include Medicaid and adult care.

You should be insulted Trump thinks he can buy you for $5k and fucked up beef.

I cut off my dad and came out as non-binary three weeks later because I finally realized he was never going to capable of understanding me, so why the fuck would I stay closeted for him. If you don't show your kid you're safe for them, you deserve what you get.

I knew I was different when I was a child. Hitting puberty as a girl was devastating, but I did not live in a home where I could be honest about who I was. If your child is not sharing who they are with you, it's your fault. And statements like the above make it clear why.

I've also got a few cis people in my mentions saying "well I would make MY child to wait until they're 18" and let me tell you, when your child cuts you off as an adult, I will be there to say "I told you so." Just saying that is shitty, and you're a shitty parent for believing it.

Leaving aside the blatant illegality of it all, yes, I am sure the man known for never paying his contractors and who promised similar bribes to the American public before (which he didn’t pay) is, *this time,* going to give you $5k, now if you can just hand me your wallet for an inspection please

This administration sent a lawfully present immigrant, who has broken absolutely zero laws, to GUANTANAMO BAY because he's Black. There's literally no other reason. I'm out of words. This entire administration is lawless and corrupt. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

Adam Abdullah has no criminal record, but the government is holding him at a military prison set up for terrorism suspects after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

Yall. You HAVE to remember how ANYONE who even LOOKED like they were from the middle east would get harassed, even if they were born here. There was no unity in America, only more racism. I feel like that could be our new motto lol

There are already articles circulating trying to rewrite history and say America was great after 9/11 and united and thoughtful and just a reminder that that period was marked by intense and insanely racist hatred, paranoia, and a frothing desire for unhinged violence and oppression.

I remember about 72 hours of unprecedented global goodwill where every nation on earth was reaching out with messages of support for the American people and even people who hated George W. were willing to give him a chance to be a good leader, and then he took a huge dump on all of it immediately

people often call dildos a meat substitute, but as many modern dildos are made of vinyl, they're really fake wood.

Ya know, every day I kinda wish we had been more violent in Minnesota, because this guy does not deserve to exist. What a piece of shit.

Good news, everybody: Greg Bovino’s whiskey is keto friendly www.cnn.com/2026/09/05/p...

Oh my god, I feel cursed. I am SO good at my call center job after only a month, and I LOATHE it. If I could have time after every call to make notes and finalize my thoughts, I would like it more. Having to do like 40 calls in 8 hours is just.....UGH.

travelyan.bandcamp.com/album/modula... I thought, "if I made a video game OST, what might that sound like?" and then this happened. While it's Bandcamp Friday don't forget to pick up the other two albums I released in the past month, DYSCOMFORT and A MOMENT OF CLARITY. Thank you!

Well this is completely not shocking. It's almost like almost all of my life has been in Minnesota! Also, this explains why they were so tickled to hear my accent when I went to New Orleans lol

My newest album "Modular Forms and Elliptic Curves" will be out this Friday on Bandcamp. There's 30+ songs on this thing, it's a doozy!

To anyone paying any attention at all, it was always clear they would move from targeting youth trans care to adult trans care. Now, Wales' gender clinic has shut down surgeries for transgender adults, because too many trans people were getting care. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Wales Gender Clinic In The UK Pauses Surgeries Over Accusations That They Help Too Many Trans Patients

UK doctors are notorious for delaying trans people’s care. One clinic didn’t—now, they’re being targeted.

The trans people of this country looked at our political leaders and said "hey we can help you develop good policy and communication about trans issues." And this country's political leaders looked back at us and said "shut up trannies."

Shout out to Muddy Moose in Moose Lake, MN for having the most incredible churros I have ever had. The crunch when you bite into one is satsifying, and the inside is creamy and soft. I should have gotten an order to go.

yeah
