Well dang, should’ve just memed it in the first place

This really should not have become one of our most reposted of all time 😔

Isn't interesting how an influential Dem figure like @petebuttigieg.bsky.social (who isn't currently running for anything) managed to help set the stage for actively anti-trans Dem campaigning by voicing concerns about trans people in sports?

Oh, hey It’s #intersex awareness day I am And because the entire system lies to intersex people & suppresses our stories, while I knew something -had- to be up, I did not know I was intersex until I was almost 30 That was tough Raise awareness, so it’s not so hard for others #LGBTQIA 

Hi. I, a trans woman, am the Executive Producer of this show. I wrote the question. He called trans girls men. He has now said it in three different places in the past week.

Historical precedent for all the “girls that poop vs. bitches that shit” memes

"The energy it takes to repress a thing is what ultimately makes that thing visible" is like the only Foucault I learned from my fancy gay communist New York liberal arts school, maybe these guys should have gone to one so they'd know how it works

Our podcast friends have queued quite a lineup for Halloween season!

Bacchus is going to be so mad when they shut down the revival of his cult one member in

So thrilled to have the opportunity to sniff the new Victorian Psycho fragrances from @bpal.bsky.social !

Today my book ‘Playing the Victim: How the Powerful Deny and Attack Survivors of Violence, from Domestic Abuse to Genocide’ comes out! My book draws the connections btwn domestic abusers’ tactics (particularly DARVO) and imperialism, Zionism & state violence. Link/more on it below:

Assembling a collection this large, spanning decades of perfume artistry, is no small feat – even for a tiny team of stubborn weirdos with high standards who make the impossible happen on a regular basis (tho sometimes more slowly than we'd counted on). Happy Halloween, you beautiful creeps.

Ethically-harvested witch vibes: no thumbs were pricked in the production of this spellbinding new scent

Merriam Webster out here fighting for its life

Interview with the Vampire (1994) sometimes reflects the queer experience in the most unexpected (and funny) ways... Listen to our new episode with @msclairebiddles where we discuss this movie, the Anne Rice novels, the TV show and even Queen of the Damned: linktr.ee/onceuponavhs

Crustine will also be making an appearance on the FRIGHT WIG label! This was a wig spray we concocted for Drag Con nearly a decade ago, resurrected as a perfume oil: blackened patchouli, clove bud, honey oudh, pomegranate pulp, and a splash of whiskey.

An apparition conjured through glass, light, and theatrical trickery: pale white musk, translucent amber, frankincense smoke, dusty velvet curtains, and the cold sheen of polished glass.

31 Days of Horror, Day Fourteen: Carrie. Believe it or not, I had not seen Carrie until two days ago. (Naturally, like many little Gen X weirdos, I read the book when I was but ten!) unquietthings.com/31-days-of-h...

"Non-binary" in that I have a sweatshirt from before my transition with a whale on it and I'm not giving it up until I find a sweatshirt with an equal or better whale

The launch countdown video is live! Halloween might just get here after all.

Not that there's anything wrong with repeats...

Colorado & Michigan have become the latest blue states to end Medicaid coverage for trans youth. Solidly blue Colorado will also be IMMEDIATELY shutting off care for all trans kids receiving puberty blockers—despite Trump's rule allowing a 6 month ‘tapering’ period. This is a complete betrayal.

It ain't all repeats, kiddos!

Run! For! Your! Local! School! Board! Policy is set by the folks who show up.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

Boys need traditional MAN BOOKS from traditional MAN AUTHORS. Hard male books with hard male perspectives like LEAVES OF GRASS, Walt Whitman IN SEARCH OF LOST TIME, Marcel Proust THE PORTRAIT OF DORIAN GRAY, Oscar Wilde The ERNEST HEMINGWAY BOOK where the LADY PEGS HIM and more

I reanalyzed the CDC data behind the LGB “free fall” headline. It rests on a change in bisexual identification among one grade, in one wave, of one survey. Gay or lesbian identification did not change significantly. Calling it a "free fall" is sensational and just gives bad actors talking points.

Just once it would be really funny for a production of CATS to prank the actress playing Grizabella by suddenly having a different cat chosen to go to the Heavyside Layer. And the whole cast is in on it, and performs the end perfectly, and she’s just left astounded and trying to improv through it.

On our latest episode we discuss the full-tilt horror-comedy-tragedy An American Werewolf in London (1981) with @robwillb.bsky.social - this scene set on the London Underground is also the stuff of nightmares. Listen to our episode: linktr.ee/onceuponavhs

Why is this @drewrausch.bsky.social artwork from 2023 suddenly trying to sign my child up for a Trump savings account?? 🧐
