One of my favorite people on the internet needs some help, if you can give it. Anything that chills speech makes me see scarlet right now, and I’m so, so sorry she’s been dealing with this nonsense.

It's late EST, so I can now say I'm going to vote tomorrow. I'm going to vote to elect the first woman Governor in the former capital of the Confederacy. And I'm going to help maybe elect a supermajority House of Delegates, when we had 34/100 seats 8 years ago.

We’re going to be talking about the GOP’s collapse in Virginia the same way that we currently talk about the Democratic Party’s collapse in West Virginia and Arkansas in the 2010s. It will be both sudden and total.

WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN HADES II IS OUT IN 1.0 ON SEPTEMBER 25TH. THAT’S 13 DAYS. YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO ME.

That this was granted is shocking to me, and I don’t think it should survive lawsuits. “Prior art? Novelty? Never heard of those concepts.” - the USPTO in 2025, apparently.

the supreme court fucking sucks

Maybe if the humane society can tell us if she’s spayed or not I could probably keep her. I’ve been told if I can prove I’m on ODSP they’ll discount the fees… but I still can’t afford it on my own. I’ll keep y’all posted as I know what’s up Wanna help me keep this cat? 👇👇👇 bsky.app/profile/wtfb...

Loudoun was the first of the NoVA counties to stand against Trump’s anti-trans school BS (the rest of NoVA followed suit): www.erininthemorning.com/p/loudoun-co... I do not forgive Loudoun for 2021. But I don’t think the gambit works again this year.

Yeah, I'm pretty confident on this one. Not due to the public having a breakthrough on gender issues. Just because the GOP is going to break math and somehow receive negative votes in NoVa where everyone lost their job to a Reddit meme from 2013.

i cannot overstate how extraordinary it is for federal civil servants to do this

I’m pretty sure AFOLs are just a hair below furries on the list of groups that run all global infrastructure.

We're still at 320/730 and rent is due tomorrow. Can you help Kristen stay housed? We've been paying down the back rent as we pay the current rent but not being able to pay this month puts her further behind. Literally anything we pay helps show her landlord that we're trying.

If anyone can give, a group of VTubers I often watch are running a D&D campaign today to raise money for Make-A-Wish: tiltify.com/@dnpeek/the-...

3 am is my limit, I think. And I’m worried about missing something. But. NoVA will let me know if anything occurs. My windows and walls aren’t *that* thick…

I invented a new phone to help save time in the morning

You poor sods who don’t live in the DMV cannot fathom just how nice it is outside rn

@clapifyoulikeme.favrd.social I need your thoughts IMMEDIATELY. (archive.is/2025.08.29-1...)

what a fucking stupid time to be a person who cares about other people

To be clear, they’re standing on the sidewalk immediately in front of the buildings the shooter fired from, across the street from CDC. I was a crying wreck the whole time, including over this.

I know many people who have worked in federal agencies and there are exactly zero of them that I would even begin to describe as "radical." They are people who believe in the work and find meaning in serving the public -- it takes a lot to get people like that walking out against their employer!

opening a Spirit Halloween where my patience used to be

I’M TRYING

If DC was an open world game you’d get points to spend at the upgrade shop by burning these

Every lawyer should get the day off in observance of the fact that they actually failed to indict a ham sandwich

Hey, western WA folks: A person important to one of my communities recently died, and their two cats have ended up in a shelter. They need to go as a bonded pair if possible & need a quiet home. Please take a moment to look at Max and Ollie in the following skeets.

i really did not care for today. i was not a fan.

Everybody misuses the word, but they’ve literally decimated the federal workforce.

given what i know about grand juries, i think prosecutors should get one (1) mulligan no-bill, after the second one they should be made to wear a giant dunce hat anytime they appear in court, and the third one should auto-revoke their bar accreditation

*breathe in* I am not a dumpster fire. *breathe out* I am a dumpster phoenix.

I live near and work in DC. I fit this demographic, which is why I do also try to post about things like books and video games. I’ll try to post some LEGO and miniature kits too, soon. Because we all need more than just…politics.

is there anything they won't blame millennials for? now we're killing the "being alive" industry

Me, yesterday, seeing a couple people down the street trying to power walk/run to the bus: Hey, there are a couple more people coming, if you can wait a few seconds. Me, today: Has the bus pull away when I’m four steps from the door because a car cut me off at the crosswalk.

It’s that time again

80 senate seats

www.youtube.com/live/S2VPuUE... Here’s the full panel! I got to attend tonight, and it was lovely to meet Casey~

I got to be the person to tell CMQ that their books are in Tiny Bookshop. #RWRBSky 10/10 night.

I got here what I thought was early. Turnout seems good. Bless Arlington County. I’m very fond of living here now. The horrors persist. Wonder prevails.

Jules is a really wonderful and fantastic person. She is a role model to a lot of people and has worked extremely hard to foster one of the kindest and most supporting communities on Twitch. She deserves the absolute best and if you're able to help donate, please do so if you can. You wont regret it

2 years ago, ‘RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE’ premiered on Prime Video.

I’m gonna make it through this year if it kills me @effinbirds.com

You're telling me civil servants do their jobs? I'm hearing this for the first time.

When you don't want to activate the next step in the main quest line in an open world game so the NPC just stands there waiting for you:

So glad I read my email and saw the library newsletter. So, so glad. Anyway, I get to see a Q&A with Casey McQuiston (with a book signing after!) on August 14th. I’ll bring my blue, hardcover copy of RWRB. Pink book is very, very worn lol

My lack of sleep this past week is catching up to me. I barely made it out for an hour round trip yesterday to get the LEGOs I wanted. And that was a treat. I desperately need groceries. And I know if I move quickly, it’s like 90 minutes round trip. But I just lack all drive.

Look, we either empower faceless bureaucracy to ruthlessly apply rational rules without fear or favor, or we slip back into the kind of fiefdoms of charismatic warlords that immiserated the masses for millenia.

“A consistent theme across all reports is a fanatical refusal to stop the exam during an obvious crisis. A Reddit post claims the response was slow with most people simply carrying on with the test while someone next to them might have been dying.” Absolutely damning levels of apathy. Wow.

I do not want to live in the “before” part of HZD. And #FuckTedFaro
