Dreaming of a perfect world, planning for a better one. Often wrong, frequently loud. Trying to be a little better every day. Probably watching Heated Rivalry.

Ummmmm, why are Regina and Chloe looking at each other like that? Do I want to watch this? Is this .... sapphic?

Drop something monochromatic

I feel like some of us have been Cassandra, warning of the catastrophic potential of our choices, while people scoffed in our faces, claiming "that could never happen here."

I don't usually follow it because it's so erratic (meaning the facts will be different from site to site) but I heard so many ppl referring to it on threads I had to look. It would enrage me to be followed from one place to the other by folks who had a folder of my pics. Wearing Meta glasses?

Kind of overcast. Only got a couple of shots of the full #Manhattanhenge Half Henge tomorrow

What the hell is this? Second flyover

See, yall are playing, but we used to have this (optional) staff meeting/social hour for my remote office. People were supposed to volunteer to share something to get folks talking. I did a presentation on Star Trek’s impact on the culture.

I'm not starring in a movie, but *this* is why I intend to take up space however I can. As Gloria Naylor said in Linden Hills, "a beautiful, black wad of spit right in the white eye of America"

You know what? I'm not going to fucking let this go. The last time I sat down to outline an article about the sexual coercions/assaults/violations I've experienced, I stopped in my mid teens because I thought "no one's going to believe all this has happened to you." But thats why I have to do it.

There's one particular incident that refutes the claims of the lawyer representing this piece of shit who "allegedly" assaulted a woman in front of her four children.

I got on a bus, saw a seat, and squeezed through folks to get to it. I felt someone pat my ass and ignored it. (Damnit) I sit down.

As I'm sitting, I figure out who did it. Because he's doing it to someone else. A young woman who doesn't notice. (For those of you who don't believe that, crowded buses involve a lot of glancing touches).

But he's getting worse. He's not just touching her with his hand anymore. He's oh so gently rubbing his crotch against her ass when the bus stops, when folks are getting on, etc, to disguise his actions.

I meet the eyes of an older Latina woman across the aisle. We both see it. We're horrified, but we also know NY and NY men enough to know this could get a lot worse and a lot more violent. But we're not going to let this go.

I decide the safest way to get this young woman away is to convince her to move. So, I accuse her of stepping on my foot. Loudly. She looks at me like I'm crazy.

The woman across the way gestures to her. “Come sit over here” while making a face like “she's crazy.”

When the young woman moves, the Latina woman whispers to her. I can see the exact moment it lands because her head snaps up and she starts looking to see where he is now. He's moved through the bus, seeking a new victim.

Y'all, this young woman is brave. It's my stop, so I make my way to the front to get off. She's behind me. I hear her telling the bus driver and pointing the guy out. The thing two women older than her were PETRIFIED of. She doesn't care. She wants him off the bus, unable to just pick a new target.

The driver puts him off the bus. He spots me watching all of this and starts to scream at me. All my fear and shame come shooting out of my mouth. My mom walks up at the tail end of this, which fuels my (very belated) courage, because she'll push him into traffic before she lets him lay a hand on me.

So for any of you who can't imagine HOW someone could digitally violate a woman while her children are watching, it's possible to sexually assault someone in full view of a full articulated crosstown bus. Rapists are creative and manipulative.

Stop asking how or assuming that the limits of your behavior are global. They are not. There are people out there for whom rules of humanity Do Not Apply.

One of these women is Hannah Einbinder's mom. One is not.

@amethyst-idk.bsky.social I was going to tell you, when you asked, that I'm on the opposite side of the city from this whole situation, but I looked out the window at my meeting today and ACTUALLY...

Sapphic Spock@sapphicspock· Jul 8

I got ample evidence of this at lunch with my mom today. I couldn’t remember the name of the woman who fired me in 2020 but I remembered the gist of her tweet that she was let go a few months later. (Well I guess this is happening.) Mom remembered it down to the comma. (It was “welp,” honey) 😂 😂

The easternmost point of it, where this country greets the sun and where the people I love the most live.

Oh, the sheer delight I'm feeling hearing THAT song at the fireworks and knowing those folks who marched in DC will be choking on it.

Some pics from past holidays: 1. Seafood - NYE 2. All the meats - Christmas 3. Oxtail & Brown rice - family birthday, I think 4. Lamb chops - my birthday Of course, no pics of my family holiday buffet spread, which usually freaks people out (duck, goose, sushi, ham, rice & peas, plantains, etc)

The way my overly serious, deeply boring nerdgirl ass is thrilled by this reply:

Alene Browdy replied to Unbased Mike Lee by asking "If a man is elected to the Senate and uses his platform to gaslight, what is he actually doing for his constituents?"

"Does this help us with grocery prices, or gas prices or pay our rent or our mortgage?'

Post a random picture or else nothing of note will happen.

My absolute favorite scene in any Hollanov fic I've ever read:

Also, Scott Hunter, you cockblocking weasel, if you had just kept your mouth shut, we might have had Cowboy Shane three episodes earlier.

And now, a brief break to be ridiculous: Hudson, get at me. Let's make this happen:

I don’t have words to express the frisson of glee your first sentence gave me. (I may have rolled the last four words of it around my mouth a few times.)

Yall, I forgot my followers on Threads are mostly family members and school friends.

In reply to a post on Threads showing the new proud boys patch which appears to be a group of men in an incredibly intimate circle, my dumb ass replied "Those are dicks, right? That’s a circle jerk?" And now my family might find out that I got no sense atall…

Just as is. Yes, I flip them about mid way through. They're NOT going to get that yummy caramelized sear that you can get in a pan, but they will be cooked through properly, perfect texture inside, and a little crisp outside if you brush a little oil on the surface. 400° for 8 minutes.
