Today's issue: three stories, eight linked sources, one federal ruling read end to end, one Ring video watched twice to be sure.
Zero ad networks. No AI wrote a word of it.
That's the ledger. It runs on readers and stays free.

Three stories today and every one is the same machine: make the count small enough to ignore. The Senate half of that gets the length it deserves, out loud.

The leaf is fan-shaped and split down the middle like a small green pair of lungs, on a tree that has been around for fuckin longer than most of us have.
Standardized extract is the measure, usually 120–240mg daily, and it honestly helps your memory state hold true. It does mine anyway. It can and does help.

The question I asked in today's issue, and I mean it as a real one: what have you actually turned your face toward this week, and what did it cost you to keep looking? I'm answering every one of these in the comments under the piece.

The goldenrod does not check the roll call, and tonight neither do you. Carry what's yours.
Set the rest down at the door like muddy boots — because it is muddy, and it isn't yours, and you've been hauling it up the stairs all week like a martyr with a subscription.

Tha sinn fhathast an seo, agus tha an talamh a' cuimhneachadh — we are still here, and the earth remembers.
Put one hand flat on the nearest solid thing. Table, wall, tree, floor. Leave it there for one whole breath before you read another headline.
The empire can schedule its shabby little votes for four in the morning if it wants. #Gàidhlig #Gaelic #Alba #MastoDaoine #Druid #Folklore #Lùnastal #Blessing #Solidarity #QueerNews #Seasons

Four days later the Senate confirmed the man Sullivan had already found in violation of that same Act.
One reporter. One statute. One filing cabinet the entire federal government would rather she had left alone. When did one person last make this government open a drawer it had already decided to keep shut?

Today's issue: three stories, Countless sources, one obituary laid out date by date, zero ad networks.
1991. 2005. 2011. 2016. 2019. 2023. Checked.
3 hours. No AI, no ad network, written by a lonely poor transwoman

Monday I'm going to say out loud the thing I couldn't fit in 800 words this morning: that the 4:34 a.m. vote and the jobs report are not two stories. They're one story, and the timing of the first tells you exactly what they thought of the second.

Today's Gathering: three stories reported out, fifteen sourced links, six cities checked, three people named for what they actually did.
No ad network. No AI. Written by a human at a kitchen table in Georgia.
That's the whole overhead.

There is a specific tiredness that comes from being argued about. It is not the tiredness of work. It is the exhaustion of a body that has been asked to be evidence.
Set it down. Not forever. Just for a while.*Tha an talamh a' cumail cunntais* — the earth keeps the count.
What are you setting down today?

August is the month the year stops promising and starts delivering, and delivery is heavier than promise. The tomatoes come in faster than the counter can hold them. The goldenrod is up. The light leaves a few minutes earlier each evening, so slightly you register it in the shoulders before you register it in the sky.

Four days past Lughnasadh and the light goes a minute and a half earlier every night. Too small to notice. Too steady to argue with.
Tha an t-samhradh a' tionndadh — the summer is turning.

The movie made $300 million anyway. The boycott had the commercial impact of a strongly worded Yelp review.
When did an audience last just walk past the noise and buy the ticket?

Elliot Page is onscreen for five minutes of a three-hour film. Musk spent four fucking months insisting Nolan had desecrated Homer by casting him as Achilles.
Page plays Sinon. Sinon isn't in Homer. He's in Virgil, four hundred years later, different poem, different guy. That is not criticism. That's Musk being a dumbass.

The kitchen isn't a small thing. It's the ordinary lit room where you're finally safe enough to be tired. On a day the news says the darkness is everywhere, she points at the linoleum. There is a floor. There is a room that is yours. Reach it.

Marsha P. Johnson owned almost nothing and gave most of it away — a room at the STAR house, a meal, a floor to sleep on for the kids the city had thrown out.
"I was no longer afraid of the darkness if only I could reach the linoleum of my own kitchen."

A West London NHS trust told its trans patients they still count — ward and bathroom by legal gender, in open defiance of the 2025 Supreme Court ruling that "sex" means biological sex.
The usual voices howled "unlawful." The trust held the line at the ward door.

A Baptist minister with two theology degrees stood on the Louisiana House floor and refused to let cruelty be baptized as faith.
Joy Walters lost the vote. She kept the record — and the record is what the next fight gets built on.
Who's holding a line near you that nobody's filming?

"I am eager to burn this threadbare masculinity." Essex Hemphill wrote that mid-plague, while a government refused to name the dead. He died at 38 in 1995. We hold his line in the sternum today.

A fresh GLAAD poll of 5,000+ adults: just 8% name trans issues a top concern; 44% say inflation. Nearly 3 in 4 want candidates who let everyone live free from fear. The public already sees through the distraction.

The pastor / queer culture
A far-right pastor told American men that marijuana makes them "spiritually gay" — and that the cure is a cigarette. He praised a tobacco brand by name and called 60 years of cancer warnings a psyop. A man so terrified of softness he'd rather have cancer isn't a warning about us. He's a confession about him.https://twp.ai/4hs7Bv #QueerNews #Homophobia #Pride #TransRights #Masculinity #ChristianNationalism #Queer #ThistleAndMoss #TheGathering -
The EHRC published its draft Code yesterday and told trans people in the UK they may be lawfully excluded from gendered spaces — the accommodation being a third, separate door. This is not compromise. It is segregation in inclusion drag, and any barmaid is now conscripted into policing bodies. The full piece, with what comes next:
