#brigid — Public Fediverse posts

At least six openly queer people made the 2026 Time 100 — Minter, Chanel creative director Matthieu Blazy, and Olympic hockey forward Hilary Knight among them. The spray-tanned fascist has spent his second term trying to cancel us by decree, it just didn't happen.

What Ty Cobb said: "This is somebody who just is lost. He gets into these screeds at odd times. And one of the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's is the sleep-wake reversal."

A former White House lawyer went on cable Wednesday night and said what the Beltway has been miming for months. Ty Cobb told Ari Melber on MS NOW that the president displays "the classic symptoms of Alzheimer's," including sleep-wake reversal producing four-a.m. Truth Social screeds also

"My dear, you do not have to be good." — Danez Smith

Your armor today is the refusal to repent for existing. A man typed his hierarchy and your name sat at the bottom, beneath war crimes, beneath genocide. That hierarchy is his sickness. Dìon thu fhèin — protect yourself.

Erick Erickson — right-wing broadcaster — typed this: he's more comfortable with Trump threatening war crimes against Iran than with the Transgender Day of Visibility falling on Easter.

Fuck him.

What Woke Me Up Angry This Morning

The spray-tanned fascist who promised on Easter Sunday to murder an entire civilization folded like a cheap lawn chair two hours before his own deadline, agreed to a ceasefire brokered by Pakistan, and called it a victory while Tehran's rubble stands.

That spray-tanned despot, twelve hours from his 8 PM deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, typed extinction with the same thumbs he uses to doom-scroll cable news. The U.S. military had already struck Kharg Island overnight. Bridges hit. A train station.
