Just found out that my friend's landlady is demanding the rent NOW, and has reneged on getting them on housing assistance. This is now CRITICALLY URGENT. $1200 rent NOW. Please. Help them. They *need* to keep a roof over their head!

This is becoming *extremely urgent!* Friend still needs $1200 rent (landlady demanding it NOW) and funds for food and post-op care costs! Plus, $330 goal to meet someone very important to them in August!

I am pleased to announce that the Prospect trade union's national conference has approved a pretty much ideal set of policies supporting trans+ people.
This included voting down a more equivocal motion brought by the union's National Executive Committee.
I'm proud today of my comrades who spoke in the debate, and of my trade union for taking such a strong and principled position.

Trans kids are being hit by waves of hostile policymaking - they need our help
My look at the latest #TrumpAdministration horror: "#OMB’s proposed rule explicitly bars funding for anything connected to #diversity, equity and inclusion. It even seeks to police the actions and behavior of funding recipients on their own time, cutting off money to anyone affiliated with a group the administration considers 'anti-American,' defined so vaguely that it could mean anything the party in power doesn’t like. That could be membership in a #CivilRights organization, an #environmental group or a group supporting #LGBTQ people." https://48hills.org/2026/06/politicized-federal-funding-rule-could-spell-disaster-for-california-aid-programs/

A Review of Planeta: https://lydiaschoch.com/a-review-of-planeta/
J.K. Rowling is actively and aggressively using her wealth to attack Amnesty International. Specifically, she is trying to bankrupt them because they criticized anti-trans organizations.
Let that sink in.
1. She’s not just anti-trans. She’s pro-violence against trans folks. Because, yes, anti-trans organizations invoke violence against trans folks.
2. She’s so committed to this that she's trying to bankrupt the largest human-rights organization on the planet.
That’s nazi behavior. She’s a nazi.

I don't think it should be controversial to recognize or state that far-right Islamist assholes and far-right neo-nazi assholes are both bad. Viewing everything through an oppressor-oppressed lens is too simplistic. Fuck all regressives, regardless of their majority or minority status. The enemy of my enemy is not necessarily my friend and all that.

Good news, everyone!
This week's edition of The Mutual Misfits Variety Hour, "Whole Lotta Fiber Goin' On", just dropped! Last week's* episode garnered dozen of views and notched such compliments as "I can't explain why but this is weirdly engaging" and what better compliment can an absolutely absurd trainwreck like this receive?
As you might expect from the title of the episode, I discuss the early progress of my attempt to increase my overall fiber intake. I also briefly mention BPD, before I began feeling myself completely extinguish the remaining energy I was utilizing to record this episode.
For those of you with narcolepsy who are looking for a relatively safe, drug-free alternative to a quick jaunt into a comatose state, give it a try! What could possibly go wrong?
