Some thoughts about the Great Khan heading into Chicagoland's big Reverse Fort Sumter weekend.

The problem is that it wasn’t holy Gatorade.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

I’ve taken a dozen screenshots to share from this story by @annamerlan.bsky.social and @kieraevebutler.bsky.social, but I’m sharing this first because I think it exemplifies how much thought they put into explaining a story with a lot of complex information about both law and medicine.

If the (wildly popular) governor of Kentucky can say this with his whole chest then what excuse does the (wildly unpopular) governor of California have?

I wish we could all sleep as deeply and as carefree as this thing does.

has anyone noticed yet that texas is going to pass anti-trans and anti-abortion bills as a part of their flood response

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

game devs i don't care how rude and insulting you name the "easy baby loser story mode" i'm still gonna play it and not feel bad about it for one second

Bought my Switch 2 from the least offensive of the big box stores 🙏 Morality is difficult in capitalism blah blah but even Nintendo can’t get me back to Target.

jk rowling: just gonna post a photo that makes it clear i’m the good person in this situation the photo:

Cause I really want to meet them

"In an earlier post, she wrote: "As for the inevitable death, if I die, I want a loud death, I don't want me in a breaking news story, nor in a number with a group, I want a death that is heard by the world, a trace that lasts forever, and immortal images that neither time nor place can bury."

and with your help we can get that number even higher!

So much of this world is shit for trans people. Made some donations to Trans Lifeline and Transgender Law Center. Links if you have the means to join me: transgenderlawcenter.org/donate/ translifeline.org/donate/ UK orgs: mermaidsuk.org.uk?form=donate genderedintelligence.co.uk/donations

Mr. Abrego Garcia was illegally abducted by the Trump Admin and, by their own admission, wrongly deported to El Salvador. He shouldn’t have to spend another second away from his family. I'm flying to El Salvador tomorrow morning to check on his condition and discuss his return.

My Special Interests (capital S I) are dogs, travel, and Nintendo. So of course Nintendo could have announced a new console requiring a microchip implant for ownership and I probably would have still considered buying it. Listen, I'm not proud, but I'm honest.

oh wow a Democrat who knows how to message succinctly and effectively what's happening here why do I smell toast

Don't forget! Friday (12:01am-11:59pm) ‼️#EconomicBlackout‼️ No spending money, ESPECIALLY no Amazon, Target, or Walmart, for 24 hrs, unless you absolutely have to (& if you have to, pls shop local & use cash).

would rather land upside down

these airlines should have to come out and publicly announce “we think we should be allowed to break wheelchairs.”

I cannot believe Nintendo would take away gold points in These Unprecedented Times. We need all the joy we can get, NINTENDO.

I see all of us taking flights this week are feeling very good and comfortable and fine.

WOOSTAH MASS www.boston.com/news/local-n...

Meeting all sorts of friendly cats in Oahu.

Just learned I am now older than Blanche’s fake age on the Golden Girls.

Reflecting on old drawings I’ve found. The “spring break 90” paper really elevates the art. Belongs at the Nintendo museum.

I truly can't believe how many times during the day my brain vacillates between things like "everything is bad, society is collapsing, how can I create every backup plan to save my family and friends and community" and "I can't wait to play Civ VII".

I get this song stuck in my head every other day. www.youtube.com/watch?v=REpi...

Mentally I’m [trying to go back] here.

Trying to appreciate being in one of the most peaceful areas on earth during one of the worst days.

why are you making me watch a video

When a Shiba Inu lies on one side for too long.

idk who needs to hear this but climate change isn’t *your* fault. the earth has enough to provide for all of us regular people. should we always be mindful of our consumption? of course. but it’s literally just a handful of rich greedy fucks that are exploiting the earth to death.

Got two games for the holidays that I lost all my time to: Astro Bot and Dragon Age Veilguard. #videogames

100k miles hit 😵 and still two RTs to go

This is the least surprising picture I could have seen after reading that caption. It's almost like someone put that caption into AI and asked the AI to generate an image of what four people working on this would look like.

Jimmy Somerville, magnificently telling the LGB Alliance to get it up em.

I followed all the people I could find on my X list. I'm going to be so happy if I get the wonderful, curated little bubble over here that I miss so much. 😭

People are finally coming here! Yay! Hope to have the same curated bubble I had on twitter for so long before things went south.

I am here to read people's hot takes on video games, look at your pets, and support trans people.
