Black Tambourine's version of "Boyfriend" made me trans

NYC folks: if you'd like a free ticket to my day long workshop this Friday about, essentially, how to run a great Mastodon instance for your community, I have discount codes!

It's based on my runyourown.social guide but it uses the guide as a jumping off point and I get into some of the nitty gritty, including things like "how to stay on top of Mastodon releases and keep your community informed of new features if you don't know anything about programming"

Watching people in realtime freak out over Homestar Runner kink references must be what it was like when Gen Xers first realized Shaggy from Scooby Doo was a stoner

What was one of the reasons given for the meteoric rise in drug prices?

Market conditions.

Thank you American white Jesus for giving our country - the greatest on earth - capitalism; the most efficient system in history which results in unaffordable prices for life saving drugs "just because."

I get why a Christian would find Unitarianism appealing. I don't get why people from other backgrounds would want to attend a literal Church on literal Sundays, with none of the music or pageantry or cannibalism of a traditional mass.

If you center Black Jews and Jews of Color in your thinking about Judaism/Jewishness, you can begin to piece together how anti-Judaism and antisemitism led to the creation of White Supremacy, but more importantly, you can begin to piece together an overarching theory of Diasporic studies that includes Jewish history AND the African Diaspora, you see the falseness of distinctions between peoples, which is to say the falseness of borders, and the richness of points of contact.
