He/Him. Social media/comms person in Gaming/Tech. My Media tab is much more joyful and much less depressing than the doomscroll fodder to which I shamefully contribute in the main feed. 🌈

  1. ‘We don’t go to no damn football game to see MALE cheerleaders, we go to see super fit dudes in really tight pants kneel down & reach between each others legs, run & tackle until they collapse in a sweaty pile of man so we can get tipsy in the stands & admiringly call ‘em ‘units’

  2. Last week, ICE arrested a six-year-old Queens public school student at her family's scheduled check-in. This morning, she was deported along with her mother. One of her siblings remains in detention.

    The cruelty of this federal administration knows no bounds.

    The mother's 19-year-old son remains in ICE custody in New Jersey, while her distraught teenage minor is now in the care of her 21-year-old brother.

    gauntlet = severe trial

    Gambit = Alpha-level mutant who can convert potential energy to kinetic energy

  5. Oh how great it would be if every Black player on Texas and Ohio State boycotted the game until Texas cancels the redistricting vote and Ohio pulls their National Guard from DC. Those players have so much power and they don’t even use it.

  6. As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.

    Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

  7. "It's not MSNBC anymore, Lemon. It's MS NOW. We bought the name off of a defunct multiple sclerosis awareness organization. It wasn't cheap, but we were able to save some money by selling Brian Williams to a Saudi prince who wanted to expand his harem."
