Earlier this week, I agreed to interviews with two USA Today journalists. They wrote fantastic articles about the Cornell case that I'm proud to have been a part of. What I did not know is that their employer considers interviews to proprietary and opens up recordings to be used by any journalist.
liberals are already reviving the WW2 era "we can't liberate the concentration camps, we need to focus on winning the war first" logic that led to the allies collectively abandoning millions of Jews, romani, LGBT people and others to die in gas chambers with no military resistance
James Westonson@jameswestonson.bsky.social · 2w agoI get where trans people are coming from, but I sometimes wonder how far up the pile of societal priorites you should be. Children are going hungry both in UK and USA Russia, Ukraine and Trump's war catastrophe has the kindlings of WWIII. Sometimes you have to accept that you cant be a priority
a lot of people act like there's a trade being offered where we give up trans athletes in sports and in exchange fascism is defeated forever
"the author of that harry potter story leads an insane cult that's captured much of the media in this country" is a different person if you're in the UK or the US

I don't think people really understand the psychic impact of knowing that multiple times a day every day your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors, and everyone who could ever have any power over you is being flooded with agitprop designed to make them hate you

Not even joking here, we are all slowly rebuilding a social ecosystem devastated by austerity, oligarchy, and the pandemic. When you show up to events that speak to you, you are reinforcing the scaffolding of our shared reality. We build shelter for ourselves and structures for the future.

okay but what if i'm like. pretty sure one of the dogs is already autistic.
molly conger@socialistdogmom.bsky.social · 3w agowhy would you even care if you dog was autistic. like, even in a world where dogtism is real why would it matter if your dog had it. he’s literally just here to vibe.
gotta be Caspian. coming up on my ninth or tenth show later this year, absolutely cannot wait. without a doubt, the band whose music most consistently reminds me that life is beautiful and worth living.
jae holzman@jael.bsky.social · 3w agowhat is your one desert island band? mine is Mastodon. seen them live four times, going for my fifth later this month
koko’s basilisk: you don’t think koko the gorilla actually knows sign language and when she figures it out she beats your ass
I don't want to be nostalgic anymore. I'm tired of being catered to. I don't want to forever hear the same artistic voices I heard in my youth, now amplified, slowed and reverbed for dramatic effect. I want new worlds. I want new stories. I want new voices. Please!
when i worked at sbux in high school they kept scheduling me for like 35 hours a week and i kept saying i can't work this schedule i have to go to school. turned out they were hugely overscheduling kids to avoid giving enough hours to the adults that they would've qualified for health insurance

Life seems to be happening *around* people at this current historical moment. This means that commentary is the main form of action for the vast majority. And it turns out that commentary keeps folks anxious and unfulfilled. People don't have a clear sense of what they can actually DO.
refreshing every tab on my computer over and over in the hope that one of the pages will suddenly read that all my physical and emotional needs have been permanently met
Was walking past this building and through the window saw this backrooms-ass room, so I accidentally took the coolest picture ever due to the window's reflection
I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
no you may not have my email address to sign up for a free account to read this article and fuck you for entertaining the thought. we both know you will email me nine times a week for the rest of my life because i felt like casually browsing this stupid op-ed. not on my watch pal
my wife has a friend who sent Dolly Parton a painting she made & a letter explaining how much Dolly's music meant to her while she was transitioning. Dolly responded to it personally & paid for her top surgery. Sounds like an urban legend but it's real. I think we're going to more stories like this.
Dolly Parton with Keith Haring in 1985, incredible woman and supporter of LGBTQ people for decades going back to a time when few others dared.
