They gave the award to Mikey Madison (Anora) instead of Demi Moore (Substance). This is the post-credits scene to end all post-credits scenes. 😭

It’s been almost a year since I moved to San Francisco, leaving behind a house full of stuff in the East Bay.

No more. It took most every weekend in January and February, but the house is finally empty and ready for the gardeners, painters, cleaners, stagers, and realtors to do their thing.

All that’s left for me is figuring out what to do with the dozen boxes of overflow squatting in my apartment.

Beware ye who try to seize my morning-after açaí bowl from me.

If you are wondering why I post
so much about politics these days,

Well it's because 1) I deeply care about human rights 2) we live in unprecedented times (again) and 3) because privacy and politics are intrinsically intertwined.

If I can't convince you with this post,
maybe I can with this article: privacyguides.org/articles/202

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

I think we all know that the real Gulf of America is between the billionaires and everyone else.

Sometimes I think I’m having a bad day, but then I bump into a neighbor who had a gallstone the size of an avacado removed over the weekend, and I’m like, … 😗🎶

Reminder to all feminists

If you accept trans people being defined by their reproductive role...
Then men can define all woman by their reproductive role

If you accept that trans teenagers are too young to make decisions about their bodies...
Then men can decide teenage girls are too young to make decisions about their bodies

If you accept medical gatekeeping of trans people's access to hormones...
Then doctors can restrict any woman's access to HRT and birth control

If you accept stripping trans people of legal protections...
Then men can strip women of legal protections

This is the truth of "trans rights are human rights"
Regardless of your personal feelings on whether trans people are "really" the gender they say they are, the exact same human rights protecting us also underlie women's liberation-- bodily autonomy, dignity, equality of opportunity, and protection from harm.
And so many men are desperate for those rights to disappear.

"Thinkers like Jean-Paul Sartre and Hannah Arendt warned us that the point of this deluge is not to persuade, but to overwhelm and paralyze our capacity to act. More recently, researchers have found that the viral outrage disseminated on social media in response to these ridiculous claims actually reduces the effectiveness of collective action.

The result is a media environment that keeps us in a state of debilitating fear and anger, endlessly reacting to our oppressors instead of organizing against them."

The 24-Hour Reality Check: Mus...

Just got back from The Colors Within(きみの色)—Kimi’s Color?—which was both adorable and adorably foot obsessed. I love these low stakes friendship stories. 🥰

Taking off one’s shoes after a long day is a mundane instance of liberation trumped only by the pleasure of taking off one’s bra.

Kicking it at The Roxie for The Beaches of Agnès. Always excited for more Agnès Varda. ☺️

Basic models of flocking behavior are controlled by three simple rules: 1) separation: avoid crowding neighbours (short range repulsion); 2) alignment: steer towards average heading of neighbors; 3) cohesion: steer towards average position of neighbors (long range attraction). With these three simple rules, the flock moves in an extremely realistic way.
