It's baby skunk season! Remember, it's totally legal to snatch one and keep it as your pet as long as you don't tell anyone or get caught!

hello poison control? yeah, it's me again. how much dried superglue is too much to have accidentally ingested?

This is how my facial hair is attempting to grow in btw

I'm not even excited for tomorrow's announcement that mitch mcconnell is dead. I've known that for months.

rampant transphobia leading *exactly* where we warned you all it would

An initiative on the ballot in Washington state in November would require all athletes seeking to play girl's sports from kindergarten to high school to undergo "genetic screening, a testosterone-levels test, or an examination of their reproductive anatomy" before they can play

at this point, it would be more respectful for some of you to just challenge Judith Butler to a fist fight than to keep writing stupid bullshit

a while back an old man asked me if I had ever been sexually harassed at the gym, after seeing a tiktok about it being a common occurrence for women, which he assumed I was. But we were at a bodybuilding gym, the most homoerotic kind of gym, so I could only really say "Well not at THIS gym."

Rep. Max Miller: "My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?"

I'm always saying this: never apologize in a public forum. it's never helpful or useful and it always makes everything worse for you. this is especially true for dealing with these fucking people.

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL: we're sorry. we listened. we made an error when we listed the westboro baptist church as a hate group. we'd like to especially apologise to fred phelps for suggesting he was homophobic. we're sorry. and maybe god really does hate fags. we're sorry. we listened. we're sorry

I don't believe in ai. There's a little guy typing all that out. Probably in India, or Texas. And he's not getting paid enough, that's why he keeps telling people to kill themselves.

I thanked a guy for calling out some other guys for saying sexist and transphobic shit and he looked at me and said "I don't even remember saying that." Giving him a platinum ally card.

With huge thanks to the 190 people who've donated so far, we're now at $17,375, which is 35% of the way to our $50K legal defence goal! At this pace, we need about 350 more people to give. Read about the case and how to support.

in portland someone spray painted penises around potholes, and they got filled pretty immediately www.oregonlive.com/portland/202...

A crude pothole graffiti tactic got Portland’s attention. Please don’t copy it, officials say

Nearby apartment dwellers had a bird's eye view of the graphic murals.

I'm infertile & I consider that an enormous privilege, to not have the threat of pregnancy with all its dangers, expenses, & criminalization always hanging over my head is such a privilege. And I fear a lot of other people in my position do not understand that.

FUCK my bowl of raw fish had lettuce in it and I think I ate some before I realized it.

Trying to read a playboy magazine article, and it gets blocked by the work wifi. I really am just trying to read the article!

As you all know I am trying to read all of Andrea Dworkin's work because I am fascinated by whatever was wrong with her, but I have to take breaks to read Sophie Lewis and Julia Serano because especially her later work is, uhhhhhh, batshit crazy.

I researched this and there is technically no law against it in my state.

This may be hubris but I believe I could teach a chihuahua to shoot a gun. How hard could it be?

I think next time I get a dog I want a smaller dog that's easier for me to carry if needed, but I still want a scary dog that can protect me. I think my only real options are a cattle dog, or a chihuahua with a gun.

The way I would start screaming. Just wordless screaming at the top of my lungs. I can't make you stop but I can make sure we both suffer.

Evangelist Whitney Lynn says she preaches on planes because she loves “a captive audience.” She's not alone. It's becoming a trend. If spreading your message requires listeners who can't escape, maybe it's not as compelling as you think. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/christian-...

Do trans people have an unfair advantage at Magic The Gathering? We interviewed a huge fucking loser to find out.

there's a lot of valid criticism of me, but the vast majority of criticism is just people mistaking me for andrea dworkin. which is understandable, she did have my exact haircut when she was younger, but we are very different people. for example, she's dead.

Here's the actual 'social contagion'

Okay I haven't seen Inception or The Odyssey but I kinda feel like maybe you guys are the ones being misogynistic about Elliot Page, not 2010 Christopher Nolan.

did the jews cause race mixing? is integration a soviet plot? the white citizens’ council seems to think so.

Sometimes I say "fuck the audience, idaf what they like" to young performers but then I see them onstage and realize they're not good enough to not give a shit what the audience thinks and I have actually given them terrible advice.

I am thankful that we aren't currently having to fight against things like ice facilities and cop cities, which are harder and more violent fights, but bulldozing a single inch of this region to build any kind of bullshit is unacceptable.

I can't stress enough how much we are not keeping up with data center proposals in my area. They are coming at us faster than we can mount any meaningful resistance, despite overwhelming unpopularity.

yeah when you say "ladies and gentlemen" can you include me too? can you say "Ladies, Gentlemen, and Trash?" Thank you.
