It’s Pledge Drive time!

It’s that time again–time to raise the money needed to keep this site running.

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you know what a unique beast it is. For the past 13 years, I’ve been relentlessly covering the ongoing backlash against women’s rights; now, I also cover the even scarier attacks on trans rights. I spend my time slogging through the worst that the bigots have to offer, so you don’t have to. And I try to do it with an intact sense of humor.

I bring you this coverage without ads or paywalls, or secret billionaire backers. I rely entirely on donations from you, the readers. Many of you donate on a monthly basis, and I appreciate it enormously. But I get the bulk of my operating budget through these pledge drives; without them, I can’t keep the blog going.

So please click on the button below to make a donation, big o small; you don’t have to have a Paypal account to use it.

You can also give by Venmo at David-Futrelle-1.

I want to thank all of you who support this blog in whatever way you can. It means the world to me.

PS: If you’d like to help this blog in a non-financial way, please help to spread the word about this pledge drive on social media; it can really make a difference.

Montana anti-drag law used to shut down talk by trans speaker

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession

The Butte Public Library has canceled a talk on the history of LGBTQ+ and Two-Spirit people in Montana, citing a new anti-drag law with language so (deliberately?) broad and vague that it could easily be applied to trans people like the scheduled speaker.

The Little Mermaid is a smash, and the “get woke, go broke” idiots don’t know what to do with themselves

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession

The “get woke, go broke” crowd has egg on its face again, with Disney’s new live-action The Little Mermaid raking in a cool $117 million at the domestic box office and another $68 million internationally over the Memorial Day weekend. The anti-woke haters, you may recall, were outraged that a black actress, Halle Bailey, took on the titular role, and had convinced themselves that the film would be a colossal flop.

New incel theory: If you wear a condom during sex, you’re still an incel, somehow

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession, and my latest post, Quick Take: Nobody Puts Baby in a Corset

Incel logic strikes again. Apparently, if you’re wearing a condom during sex, you’re being “cucked,” and the sex doesn’t count as sex.

“Pride Month Is A Cynical Exercise In State-Enforced Homosexuality” declares Federalist writer who doesn’t know what words mean

The Pride Police will bust down your door and make you gay

Check out my new blog: My AI Obsession, and my latest post there “People are having sex with ChatGPT”

I have to give The Federalist credit for one thing: It was an eye-catching headline. Yesterday, you see, the billionaire-backed right-wing website ran a semi-coherent rant from staff editor Samuel Mangold-Lenett under the headline: “Pride Month Is A Cynical Exercise In State-Enforced Homosexuality.”

So Target, in response to complaints and threats and a few creepy viral videos, has decided to yank some LGBTQ+ merch and Pride Month displays from certain Southern stores. As a spokesperson for the company explained in a press release:

Asian women are emotionless subhumans, and that’s why I want to have sex with them, incel explains

Check out my new blog My AI Obsession, and my latest post there, Chatbots on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown

Even by incel standards, this one is … impressive. On the Incels.is forums, one prolific commenter explains exactly why he’s so obsessed with Asian women: he thinks they’re insects. Maybe literally.

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession, and my latest post there, I Prompt the Body Electric

Noelle Dunphy, the ex-business development director for repellent political operative Rudy Giuliani, is spilling some seriously hot tea. According to a lawsuit she just filed against him, Giuliani’s job requirements were a little, er, unconventional, with the frequently drunk MAGA lawyer insisting on sex-on-demand and forcing her to wear scanty clothes while working out of his apartment with him. She’s seeking a cool $10 million in damages.

Right-wingers aghast as Elon Musk picks a “globalist” as new Twitter CEO

Let THAT sink in

Check out my new blog, My AI Obsession, and my latest post there, Is it so wrong to spend two hours a day chatting with bots? How about twelve?

Elon Musk has spent a lot of time sucking up to some of right-wing Twitter’s most noxious influencers since becoming CEO of the struggling social media site. Now he’s stepping down as CEO, and his (now former) fans are throwing a fit over his choice as a replacement–Linda Yaccarino, a top official at the World Economic Forum (WEF) and former NBCUniversal ad chief.
