My bank just sent me an email asking for donations for a food bank.

I have an idea of who has plenty of money to donate.

One of the best things I ever did for my creative productivity was to realize how much easier it is to edit a rough draft that has been completed than to edit it as I draft it. This goes for most all creative endeavors, not just authoring.

if you're paid to work you're a worker

if you're paid to own property you are unnecessary

sorry

@melissasage Australia has at least 800 different species of spider. It could be the spider gen

Next gen is Pokemon Oops All Spiders, and Pokemon Oops All Pikachu Variants

How is it even possible to design Australian pokemon and make them so boring that one of your ideas is a horse wearing a pink blanket?

@alex@bigshoulders.city I am going to make an Australian pokemon...no I am not going to include all the interesting spiders and reptiles and flightless birds and marsupials and desert-adapted plants that make it such a unique place...yes I am going to create a lot of pokemon based around honoring the same military that lost a war against emus.

cis people defining transness in terms that are narrowly aimed at describing very feminine straight trans women: Why don't I see as many trans men, hmmm?

I'm a trans man. Hi, cis people. You don't see as many trans men because so many of us get devoured by werewolves.

That's also why a lot of trans men identify with werewolves -- in order to TRANScend, you must survive the initial wolf attack.

Would you like to give the gift of a totally rad computer pin this holiday season?

@melissasage Explaining Jynx...well...there's a lot going on there, and all of it is Bad.

gotta love the nonprofits that are just apparatuses to redistribute money from people who give a shit to politicians who don't

dear nonprofits: "size of pride parade" is an awful metric for the quality of life of lgbtq+ people and you need to stop

I'm circling back to one of my favorite writers, Corey Robin, and his definiton of conservatism: "A meditation on--and theoretical rendition of--the felt experience of having power, seeing it threatened, and trying to win it back."

This is what the poor white person has in common with the billionaire: having power, and seeing it threatened. It's the common thread behind reactionary ideology from bathroom bills to bank deregulation. It's not false consciousness at all. It's a true expression of having held social power and refusing to admit that that power might be illegitimate.
