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.
I’ve come to realize people think slurs are just words that hurt our feelings. No. Slurs, particularly the N-word, F-word, antisemitic terms etc. aren’t taboo because of that. It’s because historically when these terms are said they precede or pair with pitchforks, torches, lynchings & gas chambers.
Finally, some good news.
Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.
Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Can comfirm from MN, as can anyone who lives here, that not a THING has changed except little Bovino isnt peacocking around the streets anymore. And there hasn’t been a third high-profile murder of a white person yet.
But the gestapo attacks haven’t stopped. At all! bsky.app/profile/jyse...
Does no one else remember "Bananas in Pajamas"??
“The officer who shot Alex worked for DHS for 8 years. The officer who shot Renee worked for DHS for over 10 years. Both are considered ‘highly trained,’” Ramirez wrote. “The problem isn’t ‘training.’ DHS was built to violate our rights and has been empowered to act with impunity.” bit.ly/4k7AlTN
The fact that we don't have 6-hour work days and 4-day work weeks now a quarter of the way through the 21st century says everything one needs to know about how capitalism won't budge on its own and every gain for the workers must be wrested.
You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.
Best character design in the whole Prq trilogy. Such a waste.
Clone Wars did ok with him. Bit too chatty, but then again, I straight-up forgot he even TALKED in Phantom Menace.
MUTUAL AID OPP
Sharing this GoFundMe for a SoCal vendor who's been detained by 🧊. I gave what I could, but also noticed that contributions have stalled. It's such a nominal amount, so if you can support (or even reshare) every little bit really does count.

Here's an MLK quote that isn't highlighted as much as it ought to be:
"It is an aspect of their sense of superiority that the white people of America believe they have so little to learn."
Selkie/ seal rep!!
I'm always eager to have more women & non-binary & gender-fluid guests on @fanbasepress.bsky.social' flagship pod, @thefanbaseweekly.bsky.social!
We're preparing for S11. If you're a creator (no matter the medium!) & interested in (virtually) chatting on a Sunday evening (Pacific Time), sound off!
In the US, it's typically because of our indoctrination into individualism.
Every single Democratic senator, governor, and representative should be discussing this publicly as a national emergency.

Friends in Glendale, Pasadena, and Northeast Los Angeles, please be safe and alert your neighbors.
I'm staying inside today.
Honestly, wtf??
Even ice hates ICE

Pokémon has an outstanding pilot. The world is MASSIVE ('mons, gyms, Pokéballs, battles, types, etc), but we spend the pilot establishing the core relationship (Ash and Pikachu), the main goal (becoming a Pokémon Master), and the vehicle for it (catching 'mons). The ending is a tease that hooks us.
Well.... this was today, too.
Happy Bihanny Day!! 🎉🎉🎉
I have a witch hair on my chin. If I pluck it at midnight, do you think I'll get to make a wish?
Open to suggestions.
Happy #PublicDomainDay 2026 to all who celebrate.
(Which should be all of us)
Captive audience 😕
