Remembering the great Marsha P Johnson, who left us on this day in 1992. One of the prominent figures of 1969's Stonewall uprising, she was a founding member of the Gay Liberation Front (GLF) and modelled for Andy Warhol.
Here's my drawing of her. 🏳️⚧️🏳️🌈

I want more folks to know about libro.fm as an alternative to Audible or Spotify or other shady corps.
It’s 100% employee-owned and works like Audible, except your credits support an indie bookstore of your choosing instead of Amazon.

Some good news out of the UK for once: The Rwanda plan has been scrapped. The new Labour government had campaigned on scrapping the plan on day one after the election. As of yesterday, the Rwanda plan is no longer happening.

I'm not watching the Stephanopoulos interview closely, but someone here has it on and he keeps asking what Biden thinks of articles that have been published in the last week. If I wanted to watch the press jack off, I know how to find porn online, thank you

The incapacity to deal with epistemic ambiguity on display in certain quarters of this web site today is *spectacular* (while one should never regard TERFs as reliable sources, someone I trust did tip me off that a whisper network about Neil Gaiman existed independently, albeit with few details)

Two things can be simultaneously true: 1: Neil Gaiman was targeted and dirt on him sought because he defends trans people, and we should watch out for TERFs seeking dirt on innocent people. 2: Neil Gaiman, specifically, is guilty. Period.

I am so sickened by the fact that the people breaking this story about Neil Gaiman are TERFs who hate him for using his platform against transphobia. I am also so sickened by the allegations. It feels like there is the sticky black ooze of corruption and decay and abuse of power everywhere i look

just to get all process-y for a minute: a reason that media publlications don't operate at the speed of X or Reddit is that reporting - gathering information, assessing credibility, reviewing source documents, talking to people, checking facts, getting comment - takes longer than "big if true"

by the way, stop defending Neil Gaiman. I don’t want to see it. We don’t want to see it. You are surrounded by survivors at all times and you are telling them that your support is conditioned upon how much you liked their abuser.

I think misplaced cynicism about election promises is causing a lot of people to work too hard on “why did the Tories lose so badly?” It’s not that deep: most parties keep at least 80 per cent of their pledges. This one…really the only one is that they didn’t raise VAT. How else was it gonna end?
