Someone in San Antonio, TX reached out to me today because she has a sweet, magical boy with FIV who desperately needs a home ASAP. In fact, he's so sweet that his name is Sweet Boy. Look at that face - he obviously just wants love! 💔 (continued with more info)

every time i see "ai powered" i can't help but see it as "we've taken the technology that makes your phone write 'duck' when you type 'fuck', and combined it with a customer service chatbot. our site is now 18 times more expensive to run, even though the humans who make it work are payed 5c an hour"

Conservatives claim that trans women are failed men. That’s a misunderstanding. The F we get is for female. 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍⚧️

In that spirit, here is a medal for an 8 I coxed that unexpectedly came in first in a race because we went in a straight line and kept rowing when the other boat stopped and went backwards.
A lesson from an old boxer, AND a guy whose been in politics, AND an attorney: If you think you're gonna lose, you're probably right. A lot of good can happen if you take a breath, put your mouthguard in, and fight.

So, I woke up from my nap to see we're all either freaking out or posting warnings about freaking out. I get it. But. Have you considered that instead of that, you could make a character sheet for your cat?

I think the thing that makes me saddest about the past 4 yrs, if I let it, is that we were confronted w/ crux after crux, crisis after crisis, threshold after threshold, one inflection point after another where we could've been just so extravagant & glorious in our compassion, but instead did… this.

I'm pleased to announce this excellent phrase is available as an art prompt to any artist or musician that might need one.
I'm absolutely loving the mental image conjured by describing the behavior of the likes of John Roberts as "digging through the trash bins of history like racist raccoons looking for leftover oppression". Really wish I'd developed the skills to draw that.

Whenever someone is outed as problematic, there are a billion people who need to see, in sky-writing, "you didn't know, that's ok, but now you do, act accordingly." No one expects you to be psychic or in on every whisper network, and folks inferring so aren't being fair. WHISPER networks. WHISPER.

The only power great enough to knock this story down below the fold/scroll is the Oberlin student council. A hurricane, UK/France elections, multiple wars? No. Only a sophomore calling Israel “Greater Palestine” can draw their attention away from a debate that happened last month.

People tend to confuse “vocal” with “numerous” or “popular.” It’s the same with the Moms for Liberty shit: it’s a handful of unlikable weirdos, and that they were successful was mostly down to them going after school boards and libraries where active defenses had to be built up.

Reading about trans issues has radicalized me from "folks should have ready access to gender-affirming care" to "it should be free and come with a commemorative coffee mug."
