Gays Are No Longer the Critics; They're the Clowns
https://transtrender.substack.com/p/gays-are-no-longer-the-critics-theyre
> Yes, it’s fun to make fun of gay guys (and gay-coded guys) with questionable taste. But really, I just want more for us. I want our representation to live up to the vulgar, fascinating, transgressive sensibilities I see so clearly in the queer people in my real life. I want bushes and bite. I want something that could get you in trouble.

The Protopian Prize
> The Protopian Prize is a fiction contest inviting you to share your vision of people working toward liberatory futures, meeting obstacles, and making real change. “Protopian”—a word coined by Kevin Kelly, one of our contest's judges—means an achievable, optimistic future characterized by continuous, incremental progress rather than revolutionary leaps or a static, perfect state. It’s about plausible progress rather than perfection or collapse.

Today, the Senate will vote today on their War Powers Resolution to block the use of U.S. forces in unauthorized hostilities against Cuba. President Donald Trump has already ordered an illegal military blockade of Cuba that is causing a man-made humanitarian crisis on the island, and he continues to threaten direct military action. While speaking at a conference in Miami in March, President Trump stated that “Cuba’s next.”

Deir Al-Balah Holds First Election Since 2005: While the vote was lauded as a step forward, it came in the context of an ongoing genocide and occupation and a recent law limiting which candidates can run.

“Despite this weakness, no one can deny that what happened was a democratic celebration, but a sad one, from the weight of pain and the absence of hope. The message of the elections is that Gaza is still alive, even if it is in the intensive care unit.”

Maybe trying to deal with grief alone is like trying to get a long sofa from the curb up to the living room of your 4-story walk up apartment. No amount of physical strength will allow you to move it by yourself. You need others to help. It takes paid professionals, friends, or maybe even a friendly stranger or two!

I don't think people should own homes in places where they don't live and/or have any serious connection.
My mom owns an investment property in a state she's only ever visited once. She was having an issue with it recently and it occurred to me that it could all be solved a lot easier by someone who lived there and was invested day to day in the community.
Capitalism really is about distance, alienation. Invisible worker, owner, landlord, decision-maker.
