Graham Greene, it’s hard to believe he’s passed on. On TV, a phenomenally talented presence in everything from Reservation Dog to Northern Exposure & a million other TV & film projects. Just watched 4 hr version of Dances with Wolves & Kicking Bird is an all-time great cinema performance, period. 💚

RIP Graham Greene. Every time he popped up on screen when I was a kid, my mom would excitedly point him out for being an actual Native on the screen. Able to be deadly serious and infinitely hilarious (even in smaller roles like Last of Us), he ate up the screen. Nʌki’wah brother.

Having lived through a decade of harrowing events as a child, I'll say it's *good* to imagine the day you'll move beyond the reach of a cruel person—even if that moment won't fix everything. They want to convince you of your powerlessness, but that's not how this story ends.

The far right succeeded in this country in large part because adult men were angry about this supposed theft, and the Nazis learned to channel that rage. "[Marginalized group] stole your sex mommy!" is quite literally their rallying cry a lot of the time.

1. I think it's difficult for people not in the US to appreciate how absolutely non-useful/condescending "use a train" is as advice. Where I live, the nearest passenger train station is 90 miles away, in Cincinnati. However, there is a bus from Dayton to that train station, a mere 43 miles from me.

On erasure of trans men + hyperfocus on trans women: "The worst insult to a man is that he’s not a man,” muses Timberlake. "So it’s easy to identify trans women as a bad thing, or a boogeyman. I think it’s all rooted in misogyny, and trans men, trans masculine people don’t fit that narrative.”

The modern American reaction to voter intimidation and suppression has been a loud “fuck you,” manifesting in turnout and patience. And the next one’s going to be a doozy. Everyone who says it’s all over is wrong. Whether or not they realize, helping the intimidation. Not easy, but far from over.

as funny as it is to imagine a scenario where Trump just randomly keels over and dies because he is an unhealthy senile 80 year old, it's important to keep in mind that the scenario where he has a stroke or heart attack and is merely severely incapicitated but remains alive is MUCH FUNNIER
