- ALSO TODAY: @joemacleod666.bsky.social on a gentleman from his past. " He was probably in his 60’s when I knew him, and he looked kinda rough, with a grey-tinged toupee on his head that wasn’t fooling anybody, but it was part of his look." flaminghydra.com/johnny-dee/
- petition to let all exes of billionaires [redacted]
- currently eating some of the cookies I got from a trans scout earlier this month—this could be you!!
- I am v. sad to hear about dan mcquade, whose writing I followed sort of not-on-purpose—in a "wow that was great, oh shit of course it was dan" kind of way—he proved that with a big heart and enough curiosity about people/things, you can make something lovely out of literally anything
- Dan McQuade, 1983–2026: defector.com/dan-mcquade-...
- also no one who is only a little bit older and much funnier than me should be allowed to die—it's not fair!

- Reposted by jmeKare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
- Reposted by jmeIt seems clear Alex Pretti, a healthcare worker, was murdered for engaging in the exact kind of community care we hope all care workers to embody: the kind that doesn’t stop at the threshold of the hospital, the clinic, but that aims to care for and support the community where and how they can
- actually, the moderate position is redacted
- oot and aboot review: at least it’s not windy? yet?
- the moderate position remains “straight to the hague do not pass go”
- the meanest thing a european has ever said to me while traveling was when i was working in italy — i declined a cigarette from a guy who then silently lit one, took a drag, exhaled and said, "all you americans think you'll never die"
- okay on the bright side the four boxes of girl scout cookies i bought from a trans scout arrived

- you don't have to watch more awful video but it's apparent what these insults to bottom-dwellers, absolute scum of the earth motherfuckers find exculpatory: their victims being visibly queer, being joyfully defiant, being unafraid, being women
- sat around and cried for a solid 10 minutes this morning after my family left for the day—good work if you can get it!
- Reposted by jmeA friend in Minneapolis just sent me this video. Looks like thousands have come together for a vigil after an ICE agent shot and killed 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good. This was my neighborhood for several years before coming to Portland.
- Reposted by jmeReally worth watching this interview with a bystander who witnessed the ICE shooting in Minneapolis: "I'm pretty right-leaning. But seeing this, this is not how we're supposed to be doing things in America.”
- wow stuff is grim but on the other hand i donated like two gallons of pumped breast milk to support vulnerable lil bbs—luv 2 do a tits-based public good

- Good news, someone ripped my video and put it on the Internet Archive. If you're having trouble downloading from Filemail, here it is: archive.org/details/60mi...
- two quick thoughts after watching this: it's an obviously newsworthy segment for 60 minutes and anyone that would think "but what's the other side?" has a vantablack soul and should be immediately launched into space on a one-way rocket
- okay I also love the gay hockey show
