"How could Texan voters support this? All the people of Houston had to do was vote in the one ballot box in Harris County on top of the JPMorgan Chase tower on the day that the elevators were all closed for maintenance."

Did you know Chappell Roan is from the town where the US government stores 1.4 billion pounds of cheese in an old limestone mine?

I really want to know how the drivers in the Tour de France train. That has to be so incredibly stressful, and they have to be tracking so many things at once. I would watch a show about it.

And before anyone can fucking say anything, most people in Texas do not support these fascists. It’s one of the hardest states in which to vote. It’s the second most diverse state in the nation, full of BIPOC who have been disenfranchised.

Wild, that some people that look at Project 2025 and dismiss it, when 23,000 people in Texas had to birth their rapist’s baby last year, a parent has to sign an affidavit each time their child goes to the library in Idaho, and there’s an open war on Trans people. Folks in red states are living it.

Also I got to write a piece in the Guardian and be on the BBC for it? A tweet? The old days on Twitter were wild.

That time I tweeted that most women of my generation and younger have nudes, and that we shouldn’t penalize them, but scorn the people that leak them. It went very viral and then my boss called and fired me and then an hour later I got another call from telling me I definitely wasn’t fired.
