i here it cost $0.00 to make an artist's day better (wink-wink ring that bell, hit that like etc) #art

watching ppl complain abt the rallies yesterday is so funny. what were yall expecting, a perfect leftist anarchist revolutionary party to immediately form ? bitch this is america, getting ppl off their couches is already a massive step forward

in a just society, girlfailures would be looked upon as sacred beings

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

the crowd sizes are obviously the highlight here but the fact that *this* is the public statement of the NYPD does not bode well for the regime. or, put another way: I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

critical to remember that this energy doesn’t just automatically become Dem electoral enthusiasm. you still have to win people over. give them something to vote for more than just “I won’t be a king”

i don't know who needs to hear this but remember that labels are tools. their value is dependent strictly on their utility. they are descriptive, not prescriptive. labels are not immutable and if they lack function then you can disregard them.

all the anxiety human evolution developed to help me spot bears now kicks in when i have to answer emails

I love women

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

stop being hard on yourself for no reason it doesn't build character it builds disenchantment and resentment

Think about the case that the republicans are going to have to make. They have spent weeks saying that today was going to be a hate America protest filled with foreign and domestic terrorists, we now know they numbered 7 million, and the federal government didn’t do a fucking thing.

The regime tried to scare people and failed. That's good.

Amazing sign being held by a small child

Once you transition you'll be a funny girl! If there's one thing everyone likes and appreciates, it's funny women!

My advice is that you should stop fixating on the Maine primary and unless giant policy differences develop between Platner and Mills you should let Mainers handle it.

I don’t know her well but I feel pretty damn confident she wouldn’t write it that way today. I know I sure as hell don’t write today like I did in 2014.

In other words, I don’t think it’s fair or appropriate to use Talia Jane’s piece on a horrific thing that happened to her as a child to whack her over the head with. It read to me as a very tragic but also very *normal* mid-2010s “edgy exploration of my horrible personal trauma” piece.

I think a lot of people don’t realize how insanely pervasive and coercive the early 2010s “the only way to make it as a young writer is to publish insanely confessional, raw online essays about your darkest secrets and trauma” culture was.

Kamala Harris has done more good for Zoomers than Mao Zedong. Full stop.

At a local No Kings rally near Innsmouth, Massachusetts, *every* protester showed up in an inflatable frog costume. They must be from a different supplier than the Portland frog's costume, though. Bystanders describe the costumes as more like fish-frogs, "batrachian," with an odd, loping gait.

Once American democracy made it possible for a Black man to be elected president, American conservatives decided that it had to be destroyed

Whenever I see men complain about the male loneliness crisis or unique emotional/psychological issues faced by men, it’s very clear that they just don’t see women as full people capable of experiencing the exact same emotions they do

welcome to bluesky, the website for revenge. pick your nemesis now, or she will pick for you. thousand year blood feud until the mods ban both of you [you jokingly told a friend you want to slap her with a trout [this is an actionable threat, you MURDERER]]. if you want friends, complain about aaron

I’ve seen criticism of No Kings not being “real” protests because they aren’t designed to be openly confrontational with law enforcement, which is a misunderstanding of how many different types of protest actions there are and the varied purposes they can serve. People need to stop splitting.

"don't hate the player, hate the game" can't it be both? fuck monopoly and fuck you for making me play it

I'm a bit of a dissent apologist for this reason I understand the kinda nihilist dunks on them as meaningless, but i've seen too many dissents become majority opinions to think they don't have value--as doctrinal roadmaps, as mobilizing tools, as records of the truth when the majority lies, etc.

i’ve made the executive decision that. nia skysail storyteller (the mtg version of spider-gwen). is also a trans girl. look at this art and tell me. she’s not a doll 2 months on estrogen

1)You may remember the articles criticizing liberal students for their hesitancy to make friends with conservative students—alleging that they were less open-minded than their conservative counterparts.

I'm a centrist, I believe that both the right(progressive liberals) and the left(anarcho-communists) both make some good points and that we should all focus on some common sense policy (destroying the republican party)

NEWS OUTLETS could you please offer an opportunity for me to buy an article a la carte many times i don't want to subscribe because i don't want you to keep sending me shit. i do not want a continued relationship. but i would absolutely spend a nominal amount to read an article Right Now

WILL ONE PERSON ON BLUESKY CRITICIZE RFK JR PLEASE!

One of my only remaining joys is that every single time Amy Coney Barrett makes a stupid argument, Ketanji Brown Jackson gets a chance to follow up and illustrate her stupidity. And this will happen again, and again, for the rest of Barrett's life.

“Please someone listen to me, I don’t want to die” These are the words of a woman named Harmonie who had an ectopic pregnancy Her obgyn refused to help, citing a 1% chance the fetus could survive She lives in a blue state & still couldn’t access the life saving care she needed

We don't have to defeat Trump. We have to defeat the systems that nurtured, created, and empowered Trump. Many of those systems are built around the comfort of white people, cis people, and abled people, at the expense of everyone else.

every time i hear about “radlib” or “radical liberal” i think of this january 5th meme

Pete, Booker, Newsom, etc all are keen to go on nontraditional left liberal, center left media circuits, presumably because they think it'll be friendly territory where they can play the hits. Problem is that a lot of these people want answers about Palestine and they're not equipped to give them.

Oh yeah? You think capitalism is bad? Here are some inventions you can thank capitalism for: [Tech that was developed through publicly funded research and then packaged as a Product by people who didn't invent it, and gets worse each year to increase profit]

Overnight my wife got even more beautiful again. I still don't know how she does it, but admittedly I love this for me.

I think one of the biggest cleavages in our society that no one talks about is the division between those that think powerful people must be held to a higher standard than non-powerful people and those who think powerful people should be flattered and sucked up to.

KBJ is doing her best to explain HOW LAW WORKS to Brett and Amy but those two have long decided not to care about that.

metoo was like. generously, *maybe* five percent of the feminist work we need to do to actually create an equal society. we have a long fucking way to go, and most feminisms at the moment are unequipped to handle how far we need to go

you can just read the interview, you know.

there are no less than 25 trans shit posters following me who need this image for said shit posting
