I read NYT's article about the January 6th Pink Hat Lady, who was under house arrest for about 3 years and in prison for 1. My thoughts: A) Why? Why write this article? B) Cringe. Pure cringe. She's in her 40s and has 8 kids and 6 grandkids. She got a J6 friendship prison tattoo. Ughhh. FFS.

I was tone-policed in a Meta threat about "pregnant person" being changed to "pregnant women," not by one of the transphobes, but by a young, blue-haired "agender fairy" who likes Pokemon and has, "If you’re racist, sexist, queerphobic or ableist, you are not welcome☺️" on their profile. [1/5]

Here are the two #mst3k screenshots my roommate and I spam each other (from 210 King Dinosaur and 606 The Creeping Terror).

I want to make it to 43. It's a month & a half away & right now, Im not sure I will.

The first thing to bring my joy since Hellworld started is that Ron is getting into his protest era, and I love that. #rongallo #radicalleft #empathy #protestsong

More and more I keep thinking about this line from Shrek.

As a disabled & trans person already struggling- I'm feeling a lot like I won't make it. Please help me have a chance of survival? Even a $1 helps more than $0. Boosting probably helps the most bc it gets my need out there. Made the first of 3 goals to get on my feet & safe: #HelpFolksLive2025

I sent a long text to my brother today saying the things I want to say to our parents. I’m testing the waters. If he’s mad and doesn’t talk to me again that’s OK. I haven’t put nearly as much effort and emotional investment in my relationship with him compared to the one I have with our parents.

I am so excited for this.

I'm gonna become The Junker.

Hi, I’m James! I’m a trans man and former special ed aide who has come to the Netherlands for safety. I am working on officially setting up my art business and getting on my feet, but have little money for my visa & cost of living and need as much help as I can get. www.gofundme.com/f/help-james...

Look up here, man I’m in danger — 💔

this is, I suspect, why so much transphobia lands on "it's a sex fetish" or "it's mental illness"; cis people trying to put themselves in our position and failing.

if you ask a cis person to imagine what being trans is like, they will immediately go to "what circumstances would make me want to change my gender". "what would I do if my gender didn't match the way I was perceived by everyone" is oversimplifying, sure, but it reliably never even occurs to them.

You kow, I'm really not enjoying living through major historical events. I am not having fun at all.

The way people keep talking about them, I guess I lucked out with my dislike of the taste of eggs.

Some of us are different. We wouldn't have shut up. Stop making peace with this reality and start listening to the kids that used to get yelled at by the teacher and still wouldn't shut up.

Did ya’ll know that in 1979, the South Korean dictator, Park Chung Hee, was assassinated by his own CIA? I just think it’s really interesting…

as a history nerd, here are three books i have read recently/am reading that i have found helpful in processing everything - 'before the deluge' by otto friedrich - 'free to obey: how the nazis invented modern management' by johann chapoutot - 'weimar culture: the outsider as insider' by peter gay

Would appreciate any help, whether a few bucks or something to be excited about opening as everything gets increasingly hostile. 💜

Can you sue the US government for human rights violations? Asking for a friend. (The friend is me.)

Dear artists who won't use alt text, why do you hate art?

Every time I come across a new article I feel like David After Dentist.

If you're looking for an insight into how things are going at NASA since Trump's regime started attacking it, here's astronomer & NASA employee Rose Ferreira on Threads. (Her now-removed interview is archived here at the Wayback Machine and it's well worth a read: web.archive.org/web/20231206... )

Time for some positivity.

I find myself thinking this a lot these days.

I'm seriously expected to sit in this office and focus on data entry like I'm not actively living the KC Green "This is fine" meme?

I just read an article about my institution waffling over the DEI Executive Order and became aware of a truly insufferable professor.

I had therapy and then a medication management appointment this afternoon, and now I’m just exhausted and nursing the start of a migraine. And COLD ‘cause snow. Therefore, I am forgiving myself for impulsively spending $200 on things that I think may bring me some moments of happiness.

If the government denies my existence then I get to ignore their laws and taxes, right?

Hello, Bluesky! I’m here to scream into the void.
