I keep thinking about new things Nick Fuentes tweeting "your body, my choice", MAGA chuds laughing about our fear and grief, the January 6th rioters' gleeful faces just this bulletproof sense of invincibility. "we can do whatever we want and you can't stop us" they should never know peace

November 4, 1991. Thanks, My Bloody Valentine, for thirty-five years of my brains oozing out of my ears, my internal organs being liquefied, and my synapses being thoroughly rewired.

After observers lawfully filmed ICE in a public parking lot, the agents followed their car, boxed them in, and slashed their tire in retaliation. The observers bravely caught the whole thing on video.

Meta strongly appears to be an enemy of democracy in the US. Proceed accordingly. If you're a politician, activist, or organization on the left, you HAVE to build your presence off of Meta and X - which basically means here and Mastodon. Bring your audience over as much as possible. It's critical.

Hey Meta 👋 We are currently hosting a get-out-the-vote rally in Osceola County, home to a large Puerto Rican community, and our #LatinosConAngie Instagram page was suddenly taken down while we were actively posting content from the event.

I pulled Dylan Jones’ book about the New Romantics off the shelf for the first time in a few years and I found this letter from my son inside. Lately, I’ve been struggling somewhere between a bit and a lot over, well… *gestures broadly* …and this turned up right when I needed it.

How's my day going, you didn't actually ask? I've spent the past 20 minutes fruitlessly trying to remove a stubborn tangle of string from a suitcase caster wheel with a pair of tweezers and a box cutter is how my day is going, thanks.

Even if one person *were* “uncomfortable,” the other people in the world are equally important. “I am uncomfortable” is not a lightning bolt you get to throw to stop other people from peaceably existing. Many people aren’t terribly comfortable using public bathrooms at all. They persevere.

Once again: Dude-hearsay is NOT EVIDENCE. They can make up any bull they want and attribute it to any girlfriend from Canada we don’t know. It is creepy to be interested in other people’s pants parts in a restroom no matter what gender, and the person being creeped on IS THE VICTIM.

Anonymized post from a small account rando: 

That's great. What about the women that would be uncomfortable
sharing a restroom with a trans woman?
Because that's still most of the -extremely progressive- women I know.
(I don't know any MAGA women)

Like the nine albums exercise making the rounds last week, this was really frustrating. I could easily fill a massive grid with many more titles, but this is where I’m stopping for now. Every one has thrown me for a loop, was there at the right time, and even changed the way I approached writing.
