If I hear “city council voted unanimously to [insert terrible thing here]” one more time, I’m gonna lose my fucking mind.

I honestly haven't enjoyed books in a long time. I can't remember the last time I was up until like 4 in the morning reading. Turns out, I'm a big ol' slut for supernatural/sci-fi romance. One has to be non-human. This is the rule.

I want to dropkick every dropshipper in existence.

Wrote 6,000 words in two days! Sometimes you just gotta shit it all out, you know?

I'm going to beat this drum because some folks are too young to have learned this: If a job doesn't explicitly pay you to be on call and you can't think of a reason *that helps you* to pick up, *NEVER* answer a call from your job when you're not on the clock. It gives them access for their bullshit.

SC Gov. McMaster signed a anti-trans bathroom bill into law on 5/15. In advancing the bill, it was amended so that schools could install a temporary outdoor bathroom for trans/nonbinary students — basically a porta-potty. The law includes that amendment. They’re making trans kids pee outside. 1/

They’re all trying to piss us off at this point, I swear to god.

They are just cartoonishly evil, and it blows my mind that there’s so many people completely blind to it and/or totally cool with it. The selfishness and casual cruelty to destroy land and animals for something no one wants but themselves. Every day I lose faith.

Sometimes I miss Twitter and regret deleting my account cause I had a good little community going there. Then I remember that it’s trash lmao

Right when I think, “Wow, I’m so tired. I’m finally going to go to bed early!” I immediately get my second wind as soon as it hits like 11 or midnight. Looks like it’s another 3-hour sleep for me. 👉🏽😎👉🏽

My little man is so photogenic.

Sometimes you’ll come across debates about policing and it’s always delightful to see someone say some shit like, “It’s not fair to say that all cops are bad. You can’t judge an entire demographic because of one person’s actions. What if I said that about Black people?” Same thing for sure. 10/10

So is the rest of the world just going to let Israel keep kidnapping activists in international waters? www.newarab.com/news/israeli...

I suspect that a lot of folk didn't get wind of the devastating train / bus crash in Bangkok, so here is some Eng language coverage. Also defo worth reading Joshua's thread on how IKEA (and unchecked rampant capitalism) contributed to it.

I’m doing anti-bribery training for work, and I can’t help but think the entire time about the fact that our literal government has legalized bribery in the form of lobbying. Major decisions that affect everyone in the country come down to how much money changes hands and to/from whom. What a joke.

Hey, so maybe I should have double checked and made sure I didn’t have an entire bin full of brown yarn before I impulsively bought like 15 more skeins of various shades. Gee, it sure would make painfully obvious my financial illiteracy if anyone saw this. Good thing you didn’t.

Not true. There are many reasons why we got here. People not voting is one of them. Not even the most important one. This pedestrian analysis needs to stop. The number one reason we got here, above all, is racism. Until we contend with that we won’t even understand voter disenfranchisement.

I briefly did some canvassing, but then I got hugged by creepy strangers and aggressively confronted about, “But what about white men? White men have it the hardest out of everyone!” Canvassing is not for the weak.

Ain't nothing slow motion about the Confederacy's ultimate victory. They just never lost. Never went out of the hearts of a sizable amount of hateful people through generations. Opportunistically, conditions were right for them to take a strong hold by the climate of Trumpism.

I bought a pair of coin earrings they say “NFTs were a mistake,” but NFTs are pretty much dead now, so wearing them feels redundant.

He’s going to murder so many people. He’s already murdered so many people. I don’t want to even think about what will be this regime’s body count by proxy. Its too horrifying to contemplate 🙁

This is your annual reminder that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ is better than 🤷🏽‍♀️, and it always will be.

Scivener's been pissing me off a lot lately. What writing apps do y'all use?

I'm saving up money, but you wouldn't think so if you saw me just order 18 skeins of yarn. Good thing you didn't.

I’m always embarrassed when I hear a word spoken that was pronounced entirely differently from how I thought. 😅 I recently heard someone say “cretin.” I thought it was pronounced “cree-tin.” It’s pronounced “creh-tin.” Same with “gauge.” I pronounced it “gawj.” It’s “gage.” Whoops.

Trump is directing the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to prioritize cases of discrimination against white men, but commission staff are "struggling to find complaints with merit"

Sponsored posts and ads are getting more and more “organic” looking and that just makes me hate them more.

Can we not refer to political shooters as "insane" when what you mean is extreme? They're not lacking in rationality or coherent thought. They've taken a specific political position far beyond where you personally would. It is deeply problematic, especially in the times we live, to pathologize that.

So if cops and surveillance stopped drunk and distracted driving, then the US, a country with no data privacy law and the biggest carceral apparatus in the world, would have the lowest rates of both. Turns out we have among the highest. Almost like cops and surveillance don't stop it. 🤔

I found the cutest fucking pattern on Etsy. My sisters loves gardening. She hasn’t grown any carrots yet, but she wants to. I made her this lil’ dude. Hopefully he will provide some encouragement and moral support. No name for him yet. He’s carrot dude. 🧶 🥕 🧑‍🌾

It’s fascinating and downright disturbing to see the racist undertones (or just outright racism) in so many of these AI generated “skits,” and “reality shows.” This creator does an amazing video covering it. Basically boils down to a new form of minstrelsy. youtu.be/V6u_fgeWxS0?...

Any time I hear a new song, I gotta go hunting for the artist to see if they’re real or AI. It is getting increasingly hard to tell. It’s good for the AI bros and glazers, bad for the artists who do more than type in a prompt in fifteen seconds.

I like how when you go to the hospital, you get random bills from different places at completely random times. There's never any indication of what charges to expect other than the main bill for the visit itself.

Been working on a crocheted silly little guy, and it involves some gaps at certain points. I somehow managed to misalign the gaps and have to start all over. Crochet is simultaneously super therapeutic and super infuriating lol

This game is fire btw. Spent hundreds of hours doing fun ant stuff.

Big things are happening today at Slug Disco! The Ember Guardian releases today! The Earth Appreciation Festival starts today! (Watch the showcase here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcFk...) We're announcing something exciting internal today!

As long as you want to be a rich person yourself, that's the problem. They call it thinking you're a temporarily embarrassed millionaire. As long as you fantasize about your luxurious future life you're stuck. Seek as much as you need for yourself to live in reasonable dignity. Distribute the rest.

One thing I'm seeing proposed more and more as a prophylaxis against another Trump is to ban felons from holding public office. And this might be an unpopular opinion, but I *hate* that plan. Here's why.

There’s so many horrible things our tax dollars go to without our consent, yet so many people are up in arms over feeding or providing healthcare to less fortunate people, even children. It’s wild.

2,400 artists in NYC got $1,000 per month in basic income for 18 months beginning in 2022. Same as in Ireland, the results were overwhelmingly positive. Artists spent more time on their art and became more satisfied with the quality and impact of their work. DO UBI source.washu.edu/2026/04/guar...

My name is Saeed, and I'm renewing my appeal to compassionate hearts. Our situation is dire; my mother is ill, and we are homeless, living in a dilapidated tent. We need it repaired, and we need food. Give us some hope! 🥺⬇️ chuffed.org/project/1635...

I got 99 problems and late stage capitalism is like 95 of them.

Before all this, the people in Gaza in tents begging were doctors, lawyers, teachers, bakers, hair stylists, voice artists, writers, every profession you can name, like you. They had nice apartments like you & went out to eat at nice restaurants. They are now reduced to nothing. As you could be.

Ngl if we're talking about something and you, with sincerity, say 'its not that deep' i immediately wont want to talk to you again. Not only are you likely willfully ignorant about shit, but like... youre just plain old boring

Y'all. We have two whole years to figure out someone who is not Harris, who is not Newsom, who is not Pritzker, who represents the kind of future we would like to live in. Two whole years. Don't start borrowing trouble from tomorrow.

Untangling yarn is easily the worst part of crocheting. That and sewing.

who has a book coming out that people can preorder so they have something to look forward to and then be pleasantly surprised when the book just shows up on their doorstep
