Hey #nyc go see my wife @rachelcrowl.net in The Nicest Body. Especially if you've ever complained about trans women not getting parts. Because she is playing 7 characters in a one woman show and she's awesome.

This is Tommy. Tommy had a question about my allegiances. Listen to the end to hear about his.

New episode of Engender Pod up. Does anyone in the U.S. really like the healthcare system? Dylan lost his longtime doctor with little previous warning because of an insurance change, and that's kind of f--d up. With @helenboydbooks.com open.spotify.com/episode/1ub1...

Anyone else feel like we should all drop everything and stop " #AI? I'm having flashbacks to the anti nukes moment, which I was too young for.

I still aspire to be Studs Terkel. Just saying. I'm made for it.

It's so retro to keep living a life of decency and intelligence.

I feel like I was born being sick of rich people, like it's in my DNA & No, I don't mean billionaires. I mean all of them. Anyone who doesn't worry about having a transaction denied in person. All of em.

there's a few up now. give us a listen. #engenderpod

Because I don't have enough to do, I've started a new podcast — this time with @helenboydbooks.com and Dylan Scholinski. We're all queer and Gen X, but if you're not either one of those, I hope you'll give it a listen anyway. The first two episodes have now dropped: engenderpod.podbean.com

Fuck Rudy #Giuliani forever and ever. That is all.

I hate being mad about everything but I'm mad about everything. 25th anniversary of me being broken by how fucking mad I am about everything is on Friday. I'll work it out again, for another year. But fuck.

Sometimes I remember the person who stomped on my report card and then socially ostracized me and wonder if I'm living in a simulation of 7th grade. But no. This is just the world now. Don't give up on being smart, friends. Get smarter, instead.

#Spider-Man Brand New Day runs with the metaphor for #queer existence pretty hard. I cried, is what I'm saying.

@rachelcrowl.net is a badass. That is all.

The very real tension between my rights as a married (gay) person and my ideals as a Leftist... Please save me your soliloquies about the Dems until your existence is debated. No one who is in a state where this is a not a tension need comment.

Wisco is being more Wisco than usual tonight.

I'm gonna keep recommending *The Bombing of Pan Am 103* until everyone watches it. So so so good.

I'm never going to make fun of the current #president for being bald or fat or vain or old. I will excoriate him forever for not paying workers and for the grift he pulled on this whole country. May his children and seven generations of his ancestors live with that shame.

Nice of the MSM to catch up. Been sayin' this for some time now. - - - Bidenomics Was More Successful Than People Think www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Ok so I'm starting a podcast and I'm fully aware of the redundancy but still

"Liberal bubble" has only ever meant anywhere where right wing perspectives aren't artificially elevated and forced into everyone's feeds.

i don't ever need to be that close to a tornado again. like ever.

My wife @rachelcrowl.net is genuinely living on @tacobell.bsky.social 's enchiritos and nostalgia these days. But honestly we went there for one of our first dates so ...

A petition is going viral demanding Gov. Beshear use his powers as governor of Kentucky to install a Democrat to Mitch McConnell's seat. Sign it to demand he uses it: petition.edwardswire.com/beshear

If you like #podcasts, what's the ideal length of time for one? Should they expand/contract based on the topic? Enquiring minds want to know.

The whole beauty of being in your #50s is waking up and wondering why the fuck your knees decided not to work today. Like your whole body is quiet quitting but in relay. #old #genx #knees #aging

Diversity people are the best people and we are moving through the worst timeline. Be nice to us.

Any republicans have anything to say about this? Cowards.

There is a hammock in my hotel room. I may not leave.

Is Mitch dead? Did Platner quit? Are we supporting Ukraine? Who the fuck knows. I used to live in a world where there was actual news.

ICE is engaged in a very large escalation nationwide, with the agency claiming to be hitting record arrest numbers amid the return of quotas. This has gotten very little attention from the media because ICE learned lessons from the chaotic disasters of Kristi Noem’s tenure. Keep a watch.
