bought candy at the pool for a 13yo and she tried to give me cash. i was like nahh it's nbd, and she goes "girl i have seen your car." 13yo girls remain undefeated. you think you're talking to a child but you're actually talking to whatever gods used to send to punish mortals for their hubris
It's me! I wrote an essay for @barrelhouse.bsky.social about my Gma's unconditional love and how Peppermint Patty and Maria Callas made me gay 🌈📚
Dave Housley@housleydave.bsky.social · last wk.Hello and reminder that the free @barrelhouse.bsky.social newsletter has a new, original, newsletter-only essay on pop culture obsessions every month, like this most recent essay by SF Layzell about Peppermint Patty (so great).

I grew up in a proper country, in which Gore Vidal had beef w everyone & Lillian Hellman sued Mary McCarthy for something MM said on the Dick Cavett Show ("every word she writes is a lie, including 'and' & 'the'"--honestly an all-timer of a burn). Srsly critics fighting is a sign of cultural health!
Widow's Bay DSA@gonebabygone.bsky.social · last wk.I really do think Emily Wilson and JCO could conceivably escalate this to the point of dueling
you can tell my writing’s not AI bc—and just hear me out on this—I’m obviously not the kind of loser who would use AI
i don't believe anyone has "good-faith" concerns about trans women in sports in 2026. there's been too much time to hear the actual evidence, the actual people affected, and the role the debate plays in attempts to purge trans people from American life. anybody picking that side has made a choice

That book inspired the 1995 Oklahoma City federal building bombing, which killed 167 people, including a bunch of kids in the building's day care center. In case you wondered how dangerous this rhetoric is.
Avel Guénin--Carlut@fluffycyborgii.bsky.social · last wk.Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case "First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".
Before fascism had a name, it had a history. Final episode out tomorrow!
East of Eden is so fucking good and sadly relevant almost 75 years later

The Taco Bell finger pointing is a psyop to redirect attention from the real culprit, the deregulation and lack of oversight in our food supply

Senator Lindsey Graham, the South Carolina Republican who correctly identified Donald Trump as a “race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot” before spending the next decade helping turn that diagnosis into federal policy, died Saturday at 71.
Good morning! Yesterday AM, I asked folks to read the Bill of Rights—because…some of those rights are under attack. I promised to come back last night & discuss them. Homework! They did and I did. Here you go. A brief late-night discussion of the Bill of Rights. m.youtube.com/watch?v=8vbs...

The fundamental assumption that research can serve the public rather than private interests is what's being attacked. And maybe it's being a humanist, or studying climate change, or coming of age alongside big tech, but it is not actually shocking to me that this social compact is being destroyed.

Trump and Vance and Miller of course see the imprisoning of Debs as ideal for what they want to do to Americans today. The Wilson administration provides some very scary precedents for them.
I'd like to write a book titled Actually Good Hoosiers. This guy's in it for sure.
Erik Loomis@erikloomis.bsky.social · 2mo agoThis Day in Labor History: June 16, 1918. Eugene Debs gave a speech in Canton, Ohio, criticizing American actions in World War I and urging resistance to the draft. Two weeks later, Debs was arrested under the Espionage Act and charged with ten counts of sedition. Let's talk about the Red Scare!
