(Had a terrible night of sleep, sorry.)

That's why I posted this image the other day. Chances are good trans youth will be safe in the listed states, so it might be prudent for families with trans children to move to the nearest listed city.

I sincerely hope that if you're LGBTQIA+ that you live in the following states. The next few years are going to be a near train wreck, but if you live in these states at least you'll have a protective bubble surrounding you.

I found this on r/LeopardsAteMyFace under the heading of "All We Wanted Was to Constantly Attack Biden, Harris, and the Democrats! Not Give Trump the Presidency!"

Leopards, meet face.

Jo looks really different in this photo

You're in the home stretch, mazel tov 🥳

In case you were wondering why Donald is stocking his cabinet with wildly unqualified people with heads full of dangerous and destructive ideas, Project 2025 is all about sabotaging government and this is his objective:

That guy off to the right just passively watching what's going on is chickenshit and needs to donate his gonads to Roshanak since she's the only one who has the balls to defend herself. Fuck theocracy.

It's perfect football weather out there. And SKOL!

My late mom knew someone who was selling off cheap computers he got from a "business closing" sale, so she got me one. I had just entered my teen years, and the guy installed Windows 3.1 on the PC. It didn't have speakers, couldn't play audio or video. I'm old.

So happy Toomaj Salehi has been released!! He = total hero

From an uncharacteristically warm autumn to a sudden plunge into winter over the course of the last week or so... yup, it's Minnesota all right. This is a terrible photo of me with my hair all in a mess, wearing a nice, warm coat while waiting for a prescription refill at my pharmacy:

You need to accept that your body has very recently sustained a lot of trauma, and part of the healing process needs to include proper pain management. It will not only keep you comfortable, it will also enable you to move around the affected area more, which will aid in the recovery period.

This is Clark Gable erasure, and also some pretty tiresome bait

Matt Gaetz, child trafficker and child predator, withdraws from consideration as Trump's US Attorney General.

DoorDash always encourages me to do a "DoubleDash" order (ordering from two different places in the same order, usually in the same path to/from my home), but I've never been shown a plea to buy one specific item. I use my phone to place orders and have an ad block app installed on it.

You're KIDDING me

I was actually Gifted But Not Talented. You'd have wanted me to tutor you but you wouldn't have wanted to hear me sing, or play a musical instrument, or act, or dance.

This just made me tear up in laughter IRL

Just literally laughed out loud. Stand up comedians would kill for that kind of a line.

There are many music journalists I know on this site who have extensive "following" lists, and who offer truly engaging content. Sucks to know Eric Alper isn't one of those, is all.

"... and it was then that little Andy McCluskey and little Paul Humphreys knew that little Bobby Gillespie could never be their friend."

I remembered something else! I tried to get my mom into romantic standards-era Bryan Ferry, but all she did was yawn and beg for me to put something else on, which I did by playing David Sylvian's Gone to Earth. That was greeted with a loud, exasperated groan. I thought she liked crooners.

[insert requisite "Oh no, Philip Glass was banned there too?"-type comment here]

(I love Philip Glass.)

Is... is there something wrong with this person? Like, maybe she needs a therapist and perhaps also a brief vacation from social media?

I'm a straight woman and damn it, Siouxsie Sioux IS pretty

There’s a sort of Trump apologist, a relatively small but loud subset, who probably don’t realize or intend to be, but are so attached to a previous hyperbolic claim that they deny anything important changed.

-US was already an oligarchy
-US was already fascist
-Biden gave Israel a blank check
-Etc

All churches should be taxed. Repost if you agree.

One of my best friends made a remarkably similar observation when I forwarded him a news article of a local charity drive headed up by Billie Eilish.

Trump allies eye overhauling Medicaid, food stamps in tax legislation As Republican leaders look for ways to offset the costs of a new set of tax cuts, social safety net programs are under discussion.

Trump's team is in "preliminary discussions about making significant changes to Medicaid, food stamps & other federal safety net programs to offset the enormous cost of extending Trump’s 2017 tax cuts next year.”

Medicaid, food stamps are now on the chopping block to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
