my heart is thinking of you right now in this very moment. there’s a lot that I wanna say, though my heart is so full. what I can say simply is: gracias reina, por todo.

A US judge blocked the Trump administration from deporting unaccompanied Guatemalan children for at least two weeks, amid the government’s hardline anti-immigration push. buff.ly/gqy5qeL

A lot of the discourse about Newsom comes down to people finding ways to say “I just think trans people aren’t as important as my other concerns” but saying it in the most cowardly way because they know how dick they would sound it they said it directly But we all know what you are, transphobes
The month of August has been a pretty shitty month for me, emotionally and socially and spiritually. I often times feel the tendency to simply give up and no longer try anymore. that being said, August 2025 can go fuck off. And to motherfuckers and detractors, fuck you, disrespectfully.
i find this image so fascinating. it is both a literal example of authoritarianism but also a second-hand reproduction of the aesthetics of other authoritarian states. it's like a simulacra of authoritarianism whose purpose is to attempt to make the simulacra real.
My revamp of, Drie Gratiën, by Peter Paul Rubens, 1630 astrazero.com/product/drie... Seen this one floating around on here, so thought I would officially post it here, lol 🖤
for me, it’s either GNX and SOS and Alligator Bites Never Heal.
I stand by this. and I will not argue with motherfuckers and detractors. Doechii really is that chick.
truly hope Newsom never sees higher office
The U.S. is one of the world's biggest human rights violators under Trump. Well done, maga.
To whoever wins the California lottery jackpot, I hope you make wise decisions with the money.

happy birthday to a masterpiece.
I’m still here, alive and breathing. and that’s okay and enough as it is.
I am doing okay. I made sure to get my morning exercise and my cup of coffee. I’m thankful to be alive and breathing.
Cheers to our unmistakable softness.
Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.
and yet it makes sense: I was born in 1994, therefore I was a kid, and yet I didn’t know let alone understand it all. and yet, I still feel guilty. maybe I’m being hard on myself, maybe it’s simply my way of calling myself in in what may have been being in a bubble of “privilege” if you will.
I feel a sense of guilt, from time to time, for not knowing the things that we oughta know that I now know when they were happening. Whether it’s Hurricane Katrina or 9/11, Matthew Shepherd or Occupy Wall Street, Bush declaring war on Iraq or the Tulsa Race Massacre… why am I feeling sad of me???
so yeah, go fuck yourself Cal Poly Pomona.
and most importantly, fuck Gavin Newsom.
a reminder that 🧊 will do anything it takes, regardless of (whether or not) policy has taken place that states where they are no longer allowed, because they are a terrorist organization that is rooted in white supremacy.
i hate this man with the intensity of a thousand suns
a crowd of people remaining silent on a DJ who chooses his career over his own community is the best embodiment of justice. and he is acting like he is unbothered by it, and he knows it.
Thousands of DC residents chanting “fuck Jeff Bezos” outside of the P Street Whole Foods
not shocked in the slightest. they displayed a whole yard of flags outside their grass fields on Santa Monica Blvd.
as antithetical as her politics are, (that being said) Cardi B being nonchalant in the courthouse is the funniest shit to watch.
looks like I will no longer listen to the song in the same way again.
Cardi B having to explain how being pregnant is a disability in court is wild, and it also demonstrates how we collectively refuse to believe we’re all temporarily abled and that status can be fluid.
It is truly an American tradition to hire assholes than people who know what they’re doing.
and, a reminder that the majority of armed shooters in the United States are cis, straight white men.
I put this on every single elected official that continues to offer thoughts and prayers while human beings bleed to death from gunshot wounds in churches, schools, concerts, night clubs, community parades, and the list goes on.
That was the most awkward 5-minute job interview ever in my life. The guy who initiated the interview is so terrible at giving an interview, and that’s how you know a person should not be working a high-paying job position. If you cannot do your job like you’re supposed to, you should prolly stop.
Seeing Lil Nas X inside the jail cell, not knowing what was going on, is heartbreaking to watch. It makes me think of Billie Holiday walking up the steps of the courthouse and saying to a reporter, “I need help, not jail time”.
Isaiah Hodgson, who worked for 🧊, has been pronounced dead. I’m glad. may he and his friends & family never find peace.
This heat wave in Los Angeles has me feeling like Whitney Houston in the car saying, “SHUT UP, JUST SHUT UP, SHUT UP”.
learning about Joni Mitchell doing blackface in the 70s and 80s was not on my radar of things to know about, but I’m glad to know. what threw me off was her saying that she would “write from a Black perspective” and she tended to “nod like a brother” when seeing Black men in public. what the fuck!!?

what song(s) did you listen to as a kid that, when you re-listened as an adult, you were not supposed to listen to? for me, it was either “Get Low” or “Candy Shop” nowadays, I blast “Too Close”, “Birthday Sex”, or “My Neck, My Back” LOUD!!!! and I’m gay.
makes me think of the one guy who appeared on “Pop The Balloon” where, after being rejected by almost every woman, he then used the phrase “girl’s girl” as a slur.
and, in addition to talking about it, we (men specifically) need to work on actively rejecting it.
Interesting that patriarchy and cisgender are supposed to be taboo words but actual slurs are absent from that know-it-all’s no-no list.
I’m sure he’d have no problem explaining this to his grandson ….
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MARSHA 🌺♥️💐
he then later says two things very quickly and so casually: he doesn’t view his work as political and he find politics very confusing, ultimately. I rolled my eyes when I read this. easier for a white guy writing only to white people to say this kind of shit in today’s world.
I just found this Jonathan Franzen interview from 2016 for Slate Magazine where he is asked if he would write about race in his fiction, to which he says he wouldn’t because he doesn’t know many Black people nor has he ever dated a Black woman.

It’s my opinion that humanitarian and musical genius Dolly Parton (as well as Chef José Andrés) deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. tucson.com/life-enterta...
the fact that this is a headline to begin with…
I’ve watched many kids’ movies where there are heterosexual couples and/or heterosexual characters, and not once was I bothered. what bothered me more was their behavior and dumb actions. Gaston is a prime example: his misogyny, toxic masculinity, and narcissism. disgustingly blatant if you ask me.
people forget that the Bible contains stories of sex and violence, betrayal and infidelity, fire and lust, and Kim Davis has done everything the holy text says not to do that you would otherwise be condemned for.
It seems so rough being a rightie. The rest of us get to relax sometimes, while they’re on 24 hour watch for like, a stop sign that has suddenly turned to DEI.
one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much
the united states of america is a landscape where grief is treated as taboo.
I love this. this will save lives. 🫂🌈
US Chattel Slavery cannot be *overemphasized* That's the thing about world historical violence.
says the very person who just said “not to get political, but slavery wasn’t that bad”. and, anyone who has spent their life causing harm to various communities of folks, diligently and unwittingly, is a monster. and your comment lets me know you’re an evil bastard.
I’m glad. good riddance.
I’m glad James Dobson is dead. we don’t need anymore religious zealots & fascists like him.
It will be interesting to see how West Hollywood reacts to the removal of rainbow colors on the concrete ground, as ordered by the fascist-in-office. they’d tend to be more concerned about that than the bigger issues at hand.
first the very hot 90s degrees temperature in Los Angeles, then the recycling bin on fire this morning, and now a fire occurring near a park & golf course in Sherman Oaks. what in the actual fuck is going on???!
Tony Dokoupil is still bothered that Ta-Nehisi Coates outsmarted the fuck out of him.
he himself is the biggest white hippie ever. and not a good-looking one to look at.
the irony of Stephen Miller referring to the protesters in D.C as “white hippies, communists” is that he himself is from Santa Monica, CA, a neighborhood that once had a vibrant Black population in the early 20th century, and that no longer is thanks to redlining and racist policies.
that would’ve made the morning necessarily funny. I was simply amazed, in a dumbfounded way, that this was happening, right in front of me.
good riddance.
this just happened right now. wild shit.
happy anniversary to a masterpiece.
and a lot of them are fine with this. and that is fucking concerning. I should not have to worry about my safety whether I’m walking down the street minding my own business, going to get my cup of vanilla ice coffee, or taking the bus and having my stomach turning.
to paraphrase the poet Rajiv Mohabir, to be apolitical is to align yourself with white supremacy.
All of the lessons that The Biggest Loser taught—from disordered eating to ruthless self talk—all of that came because we culturally thought it was beneficial & entertaining to abuse fat people. Anti-fat bigotry was the spoonful of sugar that helped the medicine go down. It was a feature, not a bug.
I’m glad to have never watched a huge chunk of everything he’s done in his career. like I said recently, let this be a consideration that some of y’all’s favorite people are not who they think they are. if you support the politics and actions of a fascist, then you’re a fucking bitch.
and with that, fuck Jillian Michaels, fuck Bob Harper, and fuck fatphobic people.
No I will not watch the Biggest Loser Netflix docuseries. the fatphobia, verbal abuse, and sheer gaslighting is enough for me to say no. if you want to understand fatphobia and its detrimental impact, read writers like Roxane Gay, Christopher Gonzalez, Renée Watson, and Virgie Tovar.
Myriam has an essay titled “Slime”, which is about sexual violence in the form of practical jokes. You can find it in her brilliant essay collection, “Creep”, which I highly recommend.
I really wish people would take bigots’ jokes seriously. Jokes are often condensed political manifestos.
We can’t fix most of the problems that exist at every level of our school system without fixing misogyny.
The idea of representation has really fried some people's understanding of the world around them when they're describing powerful politicians like disempowered family members who deserve unwavering support because of identity traits.
What we are not going to do is pretend that we should be listening to Jillian Michael’s (a lesbian btw) airing lazy and incorrect talking points that shape her pathetic world view. Fuck her and the exercise mat she rode in on.
we are simply exhausted of the ways of the world.

People who have any kind of issue with Frank Ocean are people not to be trusted.
My cousin got arrested at age 14 by roving gang units in East LA in the 90s. Another 14 y.o. cousin got identified as a “gang associate” due to his clothes. Father Gregory Boyle described rovinggang units as LA’s occupying force. Welcome to LA, everyone.
this was during a time, the 90s and 2000s, where even a hint of a clue that a kid were to ever be found out to be in special education was seen as slow, “distracted”, needy, and, even worse, being called the r-word.
for me, it’s only recent as of the last 2-3 years that I realized that I am disabled and neurodivergent. I knew there was nothing wrong with me. It was (and is) simply that I process and understand a little differently than most kids. and that's okay.
I truly appreciate Chance The Rapper for speaking about his experience of being in special education when he was in school. It makes me feel less alone. I too was in special education, from the 5th grade to the first half of 9th grade. I was not aware and fully understanding of what that meant.
His name was Carlos Montoya. 🕊️🇬🇹
A few men I like to endorse for Sexiest Men alive: Kiese Laymon, Josh Odam, Marquise Davon Richards, and Darnell Lamont Walker. These are some of the finest men EVER, I will not argue with motherfuckers and detractors.
Jillian Michaels is the biggest MAGA lesbian loser we do not approve of.
if they’re so gunhoe on shutting down many departments and programs that allow us to better understand and learn how to be citizens of this planet, then it’s only fair that we boycott the university.
“Heads Of The Colored People” is an outstanding collection of short stories. Hilarious, poignant, sharp, thoughtful and thorough, deeply Southern Californian and deeply humane.
If you cannot take a good portion of your day to read about something that you know you do not know anything about, after saying something that may be offensive and disgusting to anyone who navigates the world differently than most people do, then by all means remain silent and ignorant. #CardiB
Much like other phobias, I take fatphobia seriously. And seeing this Cardi B and Samyra back and forth on TikTok is so disheartening.
