When things are hard, here’s what I can do: Get up again Love people as best I can Weather the storm

One of the most sickening realizations I've ever had came when it hit me that six hundred years from now historians will be writing things like "while technically illegal, intercourse with minors was broadly accepted as normal among the American ruling class, and even a marker of status"

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting: Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop. Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

Elizabeth, a 10-year-old Minnesota girl, spent a month detained at the ICE facility in Dilley, TX before her release last night w/ her mom. Dilley now has a measles outbreak and hundreds of other kids remain detained. Elizabeth has flu-like symptoms and her mom has hives, a school official told me

Why does the "country need ICE?" I swear some of these consultant-brain people start churning out nonsense "solutions" to fill the void before people have even had the opportunity to think about what they want.

I've occasionally been too generous or some people thought I was a pushover, but I've never regretted being kind, which is different from being nice.

A new systematic review has found that trans women on HRT have the same level of fitness as cis women and don't retain any advantage in sports. www.independent.co.uk/news/science...

So you agree that you don't need all that money

I love how annoyed they are by whistles lol

The ice is melting.

No better illustration of America

I am in a really bad mood and I’m fairly sure it’s because I’ve been off my meds for 5 days but holy SHIT. People REALLY need to not cross my boundaries or be stupid around me for the next few days while I build these chemicals in my brain back up 😅 Thank god for this freeze keeping me home.

This weird thing where people are like “ICE is not the Gestapo, they’re slave patrols” and then others are like “ICE is not slave patrols, they’re CPS“ and it’s like ok the guy in charge of ICE is dressing himself like a Nazi so yeah Gestapo but also fascists can learn from more than one thing!!!!!!

TFW your airport is completely full of clergy coming to defend your people

Not the federal govt being like “no no bring the Ecuadorian back we didn’t ACTUALLY want him deported” It’s incredible that they got one right for once but completely fucked over another agency. Comedy. Pure comedy.

what is the deal with so many journalists on here refusing to use alt text. get it together, y'all. honestly. it's not that hard. just scan the damn text with your phone, copy it, and paste it. do people not know how to do that???

This photograph is stunning and ethereal in such a way that it almost looks like something @elicia.bsky.social would create because her art is top tier imagery imho. Like the values of color here are just !!! Idk what it is but I love it so much.

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

30 years ago they were like we have to ban song lyrics for the children but it’s full steam ahead for the here’s how to do drugs until you die machine

Okay but what about Andy Serkis? If he’s not in it I’m just going to assume they don’t find Gollum.

Has Chuck Schumer written a strongly worded email yet?

Hey so shout out to that guy that tried to mansplain Venezuela to me and how it isn’t comparable to other major conflicts in the world. Looks like I knew more than you did, huh? I hope you’re enjoying choking on your words today, motherfucker.

Watching “Christmas with the Kranks” with my fam — haven’t seen this movie in YEARS. I hear a character say “Hi, Mr. Krank!” and my head snaps up because I would know that voice anywhere. Lo and behold it’s the one and only @kimrhodes.bsky.social! Miss you, Kim. Hope to see you in the new year ✨

DOJ briefly uploaded this letter from Jeff Epstein to serial child molester Larry Nassar: "Our president shares our love of young, nubile girls. When a young beauty walked by he loved to 'grab snatch,' whereas we ended up snatching grub in the mess halls of the system."

Every writer who generates a slop image for their work is a class traitor. "I can't afford a visual artist" So your solution is stabbing artists in the back? Stealing from them? Furthermore, slop-generated imagery suggests slop-generated writing. That's how you're presenting yourself.

Steve really is trying his best this year!!

Hey, cis liberals who want to vote for this guy in the primaries... do you get it NOW? Gavin Newsom is no one's friend.

Going into 2026, a reminder for everyone who's fallen off the creative wagon, game dev, writing, art, music, whatever, no matter how long:

For months, I've been talking to providers and researchers across the country to understand how the Trump administration's immigration policies are impacting reproductive health. The story is out today in @rewirenewsgroup.com. I hope you'll give it a read: rewirenewsgroup.com/2025/12/17/i...

These emails from politicians are getting out of hand

Wow — I’ve been posting about Palestinian suffering and my desire for their freedom from occupation for YEARS and I barely get any engagement. I post about my empathy for Jewish lives lost ONCE and the engagement and arguing on my post is through the fucking roof. Make it make sense.

I just found out that you can fit all of the planets in the solar system between Earth and the Moon and I hate it that information so much? The moon is our lil buddy. She’s far too close to be that far away!!!! Right? RIGHT?

me eating up heated rivalry content all day like a good girl

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.

Antisemitism CANNOT be an acceptable side effect of Israel’s occupation. I deeply believe that we must care for the safety of Jews as much as we care for the safety of Palestinians as the safety and freedoms of all humanity are intertwined.

I think we all need to be put in timeout from the internet for a few years

Another snow day❄️❄️❄️

How am I going to sleep? I am genuinely unwell. My brain hasn’t been altered by consuming media like this in YEARS. I cannot stop thinking about the way they pieced together this episode. #HeatedRivalry

THAT LAST FRAME???!!? FUCKING #HeatedRivalry

It’s like we had yearning …. And then we got yearning with JEALOUSY. Fighting their feelings because they exposed themselves to one another. The raw intimacy was breathtaking to watch. That tuna melt scene will be burned into my brain for life #heatedrivalry

Okay but is everyone else having a meltdown over how beautiful and visually well done that episode was or just me? I am just sat here in shock I think. #HeatedRivalry

Both song choices for the montages that opened and closed the episode were nothing short of exquisite especially with the way certain scenes were cut together and that ending shot(s) were absolutely UNHINGED #HeatedRivalry

Shout out to Jaden at Big Brand Tire in ATX on Burnet. He’s taking SUCH good care of my mom after another store totally biffed her brake job and let her drive off on a very very very unsafe situation with her car.
