I am constantly amazed at how many people my soul allows me to hate

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

I've had a glass of wine, so I'll be honest: for all but 6-7 non-consecutive hours of the day, I'm almost completely disassociated from reality. A few days ago, I thought I heard gun shots outside. It was my kettle bubbling from the kitchen. My nerves are shot, yet my hair looks amazing

I have talked to folks plugged in across the housing spectrum and this is necessary. People have lost income sheltering in place, as will working parents if there are more daycare raids and school closures. Targeting immigrant business means owners won't make payroll. Until ICE is out, NO EVICTIONS.

Activity is really hot this morning on Lake Street and Powderhorn. There’s also confirmed ICE vehicles using Uber stickers. Please be careful. 1/

a somali TV network even released a video in somali to address this misinformation that omar fateh wasn't on the ballot because he lost the endorsement back in september

okay for this next joke, you have to imagine that I'm Inspector Gadget doing hack comedy in the 90s:

"I just drove in from Albuquerque and boy are my arms tires"

ok thank you.

Weird coincidence, but my improv duo with @erikostrom.bsky.social is also performing at @improvagogo.bsky.social this Sunday!

Just saw Black Swan (2009) again, this time in IMAX. I love this movie so goddamn much and I'm going to be looking for any opportunity to bring it up for probably next week.

I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us. fatehformayor.com/donate

queerness, as a liberatory politics and not just another vague personal label, must involve thinking, speaking, and acting against ICE, against the police, against the carceral + imperial state and its networks across the globe, against the violence of borders. happy pride!

Happy Pride! Can't wait to find out what fresh hell is in store for us!

Just saw Friendship (2025). It is a horror movie masquerading as a comedy. It's very funny and nothing scary happens, and yet I watched most of it through my fingers. Highly recommend to people who can tolerate that sort of thing.

If there are any mixologists out there looking for free bad ideas, a shot of Tullamore DEW followed soon after by a single The Good Crisp original flavored chip tastes *exactly* the same way a 90s smoker-friendly McDonald's would smell

gotta pretend like it's 10:30 and go to bed now even though I'm not tired at all, which I love because I'm gay and nonbinary and so is daylight savings time, my favorite, gayest non-hour of the year

okay, tomorrow, let's all talk about how woke and gay daylight savings time is, and maybe we'll get an EO dismantling it finally
