I thought I had a pretty good grasp of where the US Coast Guard generally hung out and I actually didn't think Venezuela was one of those places

Just saw a TikTok comment rudely asking why Bad Bunny was blushing over "his grammy" flirting with him, like Rita Moreno didn't once pull Elvis just to make Brando jealous because she's Rita fkn Moreno and she knew she could. You'd blush too.

once in awhile i’m reminded of the sad reality that there’s a lot of progress that still needs to be made in liberal circles. they often don’t oppose ICE or deportations, but just the trump regimes brute-ish way of doing them

They just called a Mara Greenhouse at the service station and I didn't realize "fantasy novel heroine" was one of the deep red rural naming conventions boomers opted for in the 80s. And my hippie ass SoCal surfer mom picked KATHLEEN?? This is bullshit, stereotypes never show up when you want them 😠

“I’m strong and I want to have like fifty kids and a farm” of course you do. You’re twelve. “I don’t want to eat vegetables I think steak and French fries is the only meal” hell yeah homie you’re twelve. “Maybe if there’s crime we should just send the army” bless your heart my twelve year old buddy

I like when first dates bring me flowers which leads me to wonder why I always have to scramble to, for instance, knife the top off a plastic water jug in order to keep them alive. This cannot be how other grownups live.

Just two predators ~15 mins after the hatchery guys showed up to restock the lake. (They did not try to catch a single fish. They just spent 3 hours of enrichment time watching them like an aquarium.)

The good news: Absolutely nailed my grandma's tomato pie recipe The bad news: I had to bake so many things that it caused a carbon monoxide detector to go off and the fire department had to come and I've been microdosing brain death since I moved here two years ago

Welp, time for leftists' annual tradition of reconciling "cookouts with my friends are fun" with "American nationalism is a plague" Meet back here in 4 months for "bringing families together over a big shared meal is nice" vs "American nationalism has always been a plague" 🦃

These ID photos were taken a few months apart at the same DMV so if you think the person who takes your photo hates you, I just want you to know that they absolutely do. They want you to ugly and they did that on purpose. It's not your fault. You're hot af and they hate you for it.

A lil old lady in a mobility scooter who had just yelled at a small child let me go in front of her because I looked "just as pretty as a picture today" and I'm gonna be riding that high for a while even though I think it was mostly because my skirt was ankle-length

During Pride Month, the Defense Department announces plans to rename the USNS Harvey Milk. That’s no accident of timing. They’re also considering renaming the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Dolores Huerta, and USNS Cesar Chavez, and USNS Medgar Evers.

A new report tries to capture the true cost of incarceration to families of people behind bars. It found it costs them around $350 billion every year – almost four times the government's estimate for the cost of incarceration.

Happy pride folks I'm still fleshing out the entries, but here's a list of over 200 retro games (pre-2010) which were made by trans people or which had trans people on the dev team. We have always been here.

Raphael Lemkin was a Poland-born Jewish American who coined the term GENOCIDE in his 1944 text where he explicitly states that it does *not* necessarily refer to mass murder but rather any coordinated plan to destroy a society's foundation with the aim to eventually annihilate their people entirely.

Now I'm being forced to spend a week in Vegas because my so-called "lifelong best friend" is turning 40 and this is his dream vacation and apparently I "love him very much" and "am beyond happy to celebrate a wonderful person who I value greatly," or whatever. View's pretty good though.

After hiking at a 9000' elevation all morning I found a snow melt runoff river. The water is ice cold, the sun is closer than it's ever been, and in this one moment there exists no person more content than I.

One thing I love about being a Red Sox fan is that we love hating even more than winning, and I have the data to prove it! When the Red Sox finally won the World Series after 86 years, people in Mass were nearly 3x as likely to google "Yankees Suck" than "Go Sox" and I think that's beautiful.
