Changelings??!!

Some of the other items in the little free library are also rather intriguing ...

I am sure there were plenty of incompetent and uncool pirates back in the day ... though of course no one remembers them ...

Improv tragedy ...

Speaking as a half-Latvian person: you demonstrate excellent taste. Riga sprats are also fab.

This video is legit terrifying.

I think the agent of that unfortunate change is generally called a "propaganda campaign." The reason it worked, though? That is much more complicated and vastly more upsetting ...

At the risk of appearing to miss the point ... Duchovny looked absolutely beautiful in that role ...

Why The Government Has Infinite Money YouTube video by Second Thought

don't forget the government's money is all made up anyway. I think about this video a lot.

Ohhhhhh!!!!!! Thank you for pointing out the obvious … I thought I was just applying a strange set of comfort foods (viz. pickles, kimchi, jalapeños en escabeche, etc.) to my sorrows. I can be a bit dim sometimes!

Everyone's transition is unique, and yet we all have vitally important feelings and experiences in common - obviously some more than others, some (as you rightly observe) much less - nevertheless we are all in this together!

CNN: Do you support America committing heinous and self-evident war crimes with no reasonable military or geopolitical benefit?

Same.

The Dinner Party by Cat Fitzpatrick: 9781644215487 | PenguinRandomHouse.com: Books Cat Fitzpatrick delights in this post-pandemic follow-up to her debut verse novel of present-day manners, The Call-Out— a trans community celebration of mores, gender theory, and rhyme. The Dinner...

OK nerds, ANNOUNCEMENT
I have a book coming out this May with @sevenstories.bsky.social!

it is called

The Dinner Party: A Book about Love"

it's a collection of five sequences or stories, all in verse. They are about different kinds of love. You can pre-order it here, if you are so minded.

I can't wait! I loved The Call-out, and your descriptions of the sequences definitely pique my interest ...

What is a nice girl who loves gay communists (and is herself a trans lesbian syndicalist) to do in such a troubled world??!

(not suggesting anyone on this thread including the OP does ... I am just ranting because I have had it with the inane bullshit that we are constantly told is "real,"and is actually a collective madness that literally drives people to desperation and destroys real lives, families, and communities)

And I may be a godless Commie, but at least I don't worship Mammon!

The sovereign debt of a wealthy nation like the USA can never be collected. The systems that support the notion that one person has a billion times the wealth of another person rest on the lie that those numbers represent real value that exists in ther real world.

Money is as important as we collectively agree it is. It is only as real as we collectively agree it is. The distribution of wealth has become so skewed that the illusion fails.. There is no way to transform a trilionaire's symbolic wealth into real-world goods and services.

And those are some world class rattitudes!

Oh, so now *I'm* the weird and freaky girl! OK, no worries - I don't get out much anyway.

It is not so much that I don't understand the dude's argument as that I just do not *see* one ... nor a shred of evidence neither ...

Emoria's book Aftertaste, which you can read online for free (for now, in its draft form), is really good!

I just quit my manipulative and transphobic work environment, a place that I was so absolutely gaslit by that I delayed my transition for several years out of fear of loss of work.

They were fighting to make me less visible.

I will be seen and heard.

If you want more writing, please support me

Congratulations! It must be scary ... but that you knew you had to do it in spite of the fear is a pretty good indication that you knew you had to. You will find a much better way forward - I am quite sure of that.

The Supreme Court did not strike down conversion therapy bans today.

Not nationwide. Not in Colorado. Not anywhere.

Here's what actually happened in Chiles v. Salazar—and why the coverage you're seeing serves the conservative legal movement more than it serves you.

wendigo ... the more it devours the bigger and hungrier it becomes ...

Culinary hack idea: maybe you can deflame raw onions in piss if you run out of vinegar? Goddess knows I don't understand why my mind comes up with these things.
