My favorite LGBTQ+ character is Katie from the film "The Mitchells vs. the Machines". I relate to Katie because I feel a bit quirky, eccentric, and creative, though socially awkward. I’m interested in and obsessed with cinema and filmmaking. While she started creating cinema at an early age, I didn’t start animating until 2021.

Theme: Your first LGBTQ+ OC or favorite character

Pride is half over and I feel like I haven't done much with it

I've been representing queer people at work, and I've had quite a few customers tell me they really appreciated seeing an openly queer person working in such a public job in a rural small town

I even found out there's a girl in town who had known she was trans for years but didn't come out until she saw me living openly

but like, I want to spend time with other queer folks

I want to gather together and celebrate queerness, and our resilience in the face of fascist genocide

I want to feel surrounded by my community, not just be an ambassador for it

The Rules & Elections Committee wants to postpone consideration of expanding the size of the LA City Council, but forwarded other recommendations to the full council. Seriously, can we even call this "reform"? https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2026-06-16/panel-balks-at-plans-to-expand-la-city-council-to-25-members #LACity #elections #reform #representation #LACityCouncil #LANews

Panel balks at plans to expand L.A. City Council to 25 members

A committee says a council expansion plan needs more study. The full council will meet Wednesday to determine which charter reform measures should go on the Nov. 3 ballot.

Beyond the Guilt Tax | The Point Magazine

In the essays my students write, I have begun to notice a common pattern. They are structured almost like Aesop’s fables. A moral seems necessary […]

A Black trans woman walked off with a Tony this week and said the truest thing anybody said all week: take up space.
She cut roughly 500 looks for Cats: The Jellicle Ball — five hundred separate acts of here I am — and turned a costume shop into a monument. First out trans person to ever hold the statue.
Taking up space is not a metaphor when your existence is the thing they're trying to legislate down to nothing. It's a body in a room built to keep it out, refusing to fold smaller.

AI Bans Are Here. I Told You So. Now Let’s Talk About Why This Is Bad.

I said it before. I said it on this very blog, on Interfaith Intrepid, back when folks were still treating artificial intelligence like it was some kind of science fiction novelty that only tech bros in San Francisco cared about. I said that the AI bans were coming, and I said that they were not going to look the way people thought they were going to look. They were not going to be principled stands against corporate overreach or thoughtful regulatory frameworks designed to protect everyday […]
