@diannaeanderson oh WOW I haven’t thought about this album in years, but there was a solid 6 months when I was a kid where this was basically the only CD I’d play in my discman

something to be said about the fact the Onion seems to be the only major media publication being honest and critical about what JK Rowling believes through satire

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

“Protecting the vulnerable” doesn’t mean only wearing a mask when you visit higher risk people a couple times a year. It means actively fighting for their right to participate in society every day. Leaders are not “protecting the vulnerable,” they are discriminating against them.

I am once again telling y’all to stop writing off the entire goddamn state of Texas every time our politicians introduce some new flavor of bullshit

[pokey pup @Whatapityonyou]

The Onion has had it lmao

The whole thing is utterly transparent to me as someone who got out, and I hope people will realize that dunking on Joshua is just going to further isolate a young queer person who needs help. Please, please focus your attention to Bethel leadership, not the cult victim.

[Leigh ✨ @nervousleigh]

I know literally nothing about Joshua Bassett, but as someone who escaped a church that has extremely close ties to Bethel, I need y’all to understand that Bethel is a cult that is VERY good at what they do.

[Leigh ✨ @nervousleigh]

They want to weaponize those young man’s existence. They are hoping that he will be “cured” of being queer, or at the very least choose not to “act on it”, so they can hold him up and go “see! jesus fixed this Hollywood star! he can fix the rest of y’all too!”

[Katharine Coldiron 🌟 @ferrifrigida]

Representation matters, as we all know (now), and the fact that representation of nearly anything but a fantasy of repressed straight white American life didn't appear on the screen for 30 damn years explains, somewhat, why we're only untangling basic human rights now. 17/

[Katharine Coldiron 🌟 @ferrifrigida]

Apply that analysis to other elements the Code boxed in: people of color, independent women, "proper" morality...we ended up devaluing all but a narrow band of life. For decades.

Cinema is a mirror, not a window. Distort the mirror & you wind up with a distorted society. 18/

[Sacha Coward @sacha_coward]

For queer people, everything we do is 'political': Our sex lives, pronouns... all 'political'.

But when we are killed?
Suddenly it's not political anymore.
Suddenly we're ghoulish for 'making it political'.
Suddenly it's just a sad random thing.
How. Queer.

@mac_and_sweets Because people who aren’t shitbags also live here, and it’s not our fault we keep getting stuck with sentient piles of trash for politicians. Don’t be gross.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

By “Indoctrination” they mean teaching kids the truth.

By “grooming” they mean teaching kids not to hate.

By “woke” they mean being aware of the flaws in our system.

By “socialism” they mean a government that works for the people rather than their donors.

[Leigh ✨ @nervousleigh]

Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Vince McMahon is back on WWE’s board of directors.

A new filing says effective immediately Vince puts himself, Michelle Wilson, and George Barrios on the board and removes independent directors Alan Wexler, JoEllen Lyons Dillon, and Jeffrey Speed.
