Wait, what?!

Some of y'all need to hear this: participating in cancel or call-out culture isn’t a substitute for organizing against institutions and structures of power. It can feel like action, but it doesn’t replace the harder work of building movements capable of changing material conditions.

This all sounds right. 😅

Excellent swag! Give Scott a high-five from me.

Did you have to post that AI picture? Couldn't you have done literally anything else?

Exactly! "Not all men" but like, be super on your guard if alone with a man, or men in general, 'kthnxbye

Exactly! Or, at the least, stop feigning surprise when a celeb has a misstep. Even before social media, publicists were earning every penny keeping the image of their golden goose intact. Whether cultivating bad boy, good girl, rebel, or other archetype

Yes, also true. In the end, almost no celeb is perfect and the higher the pedestal we put our faves, the harder they fall. They are just people after all, and going to surprise us in the best and worst ways.

I think in Chappell's case there was also a bit of confirmation bias. I know plenty of queer folks who've been giving her side eye before this

I definitely think there is something to this theory. A lot of folks get nervous as details of others comes to light. You can almost see them going through the mental gymnastics

Here, here!
See also the DMs of many fats. The trope of us being the side piece, or secret booty call exists for a reason. 😒

I think a lot of people who are running the rape supporter's handbook are deeply unaware that it is the rape supporter's handbook.

The rape supporter's handbook is such a normal part of the average lexicon that you have to interrogate it to understand how it works.

Brings new life to "in space, no one can hear you scream. "

Our annual subscription runs out next week, so been binging old favorites and a few movies I never watched when they came out.
As a grand finale, time to bring out the big dogs...er, foxes.

My mom actually made the gazpacho recipe -wasn't from this book - and as crazy as it sounds, it was pretty good. I mean it was the late 70s/early 80s, but definitely not the weirdest thing I've ever eaten.
But I will absolutely fight someone who tries to serve me green beans as guacamole.

I recalled in the stage musical the implication that Glinda knows. Like plausible deniability, but knows.

I haven't had a checkbook in easily a decade. When I need a check, the bank prints out a sheet of four.
I don't mind the focus on bringing back motor skills that writing in cursive encourages, but his thought process here is flawed... shocker.

The Kennedy Center Is Giving Bill Maher the Mark Twain Prize

I haven't even had coffee yet, and the news continues to disappoint.

Once again, we focus on the wrong things to support women's athletics.
So many abuses still exist in the training and coaching side, doping remains a huge issue, inequalities in funding or training resources, but sure let's hyper-focus on this.
The IOC continues to disappoint.

Exactly! It's going to take more CEOs saying enough is enough!

Nicholas Brendon, a Star in ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer,’ Is Dead

This one is shocking!
Ooh, the troubled actors from the House of Whedon.

Just embarrassing.

Every day I struggle to believe we've devolved to this point in US history. Not even going to attempt diplomacy or decorum. Just right to xenophobia and poor taste.

I about spit out my water. But like, not wrong though.

okay will give this another try. Was not sold from the first couple of episodes

I Lied To You | 'Sinners' Musical Performance | 98th Oscars (2026) YouTube video by Oscars

Absolutely spectacular. What a beautiful reenactment of this moment in the film. #blacksky

Easily one of the best episode teasers I've ever read.

Pretty on the nose....

That was my ticket! I was so mad at how quickly they dragged her out of the race.

I think I'd choose The Witch's Heart by Genevieve Gornichec. I listened to the audio book the first time and the references and mythology were very densely packed. I'd like to be able to read it all again to see it all at my own pace, and flip back and forth.
