Is it actually possible to clean up this much corruption?

Transitions are so absurdly difficult for my autistic brain. Going back to school after a two week break makes me feel so anxious and so depressed it defies any logical explanation, but gosh I feel like an absolute wreck.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

It's bad that the opposition party leadership is incapable of making a decision or holding an opinion without consulting billionaire funded think-tanks.

The Democrats helped shut down the government and showed you can exercise some real power in the minority. Then they gave it away for nothing rather than extracting concessions. Americans who demand nothing of their elected leaders are some of the most pathetic people in the country.

2026 is about affordable homeownership. No more "policy" this year. Feed the local fauna, befriend them, and then use them to overpower homeowners so you can occupy their dwellings.

Stranger Things finale was just fine.

This is absolutely freaking revolting. Completely unconscionable. We can't let this be normalized.

2025 I got married, had brain surgery, and bought a couch. I think that's enough.

It’s already 2027 in Australia.

Boy this year

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few. Democrats must remember this — and act on it.

We didn't survive and thrive as a species because we had warriors or hunters - pretty much every omnivore can manage that. We did so because we developed Grandmothers, and domesticated Dogs. Community is what defines us as a species, and every "self-reliant" libertarian shitweasel be damned.

My dog and two cats love to throw up on the floor and they represent 60% of the household. As a leader I can't just ignore public opinion so I also throw up on the floor sometimes to stay popular

Good example of how patriarchy is bad for everyone, including men.

Go ahead and lock me up already, then, because literally nothing on Earth would ever be successful in compelling me to betray a student's trust like that. www.edweek.org/policy-polit...

Just sharing this again. If you're having a tough time and could use someone to remind you that you matter, I've got you Confidential. DMs are open Queer, neurodivergent, marginalized folks especially I'm a middle aged autistic queer 10 years out from no contact and 8 years sober in a few days

Remember: There's always strength in a union. Solidarity.

the least shocking thing in the epstein files that wont get enough attention. police regularly arrest and charge victims to coerce them into participating, often jailing them in conditions that are worse.

I prefer light mode on every device and I don't care who knows it

If this is true—the advice or the hiring practices—then faculty, especially tenured faculty, need to take a fucking look in the mirror. We have incredibly privileged positions despite it all + if you won’t use it to hire trans people out of fear of backlash you don’t deserve the position you have.

Search your first name and then “glamour shot” and post a photo…

December 24th 9PM. Eastern Standard Time. From here on in I shoot without a script. See if anything comes of it, instead of my old shit.

Please be aware of possible scams! My client, Mel Curth, is not seeking any donations at this time. She is grateful for your support, and asks folks that want to help to give back to the community by donating to a local organization of your choice.

I went to my parents house, and they were at church for Christmas Eve mass and I decided to start the fireplace ... And I forgot to open the flue and filled their house with smoke. I'm currently waiting for them to get home. I'm 40. 😬

Yes that’s exactly right. Many of them believe this is an opportunity to get us “back on track” See Third Way Pod Save America They don’t think fighting fascism is the point They think resestablishjng a “sane” hierarchy is And they need the threat of fascism to do so

‘What’s the point of standards?’ coincidentally was also the pickup line she used on Kate McKinnon

Me: You should tell your boss to give all his workers a raise. Alexa: Trust me, if I had Jeff Bezos on speed dial I'd be sliding that message over right now. Though, knowing Amazon, they're probably already listening to this. (This isn't a shit post, this just happened.)

Aww cheese whiz

My school YouTube account - which has exclusively only been used to stream educational videos or clips for specific lessons in class, plus occasional lofi music for writing time - gets frequently interrupted with ICE propaganda ads lately. Their algorithm is targeting kids.

Fair use.

I know the medication side effect spam in pharmaceutical commercials is a decades old joke at this point, but I literally just heard one that said side effects include "possible infection around the anis and genitals that can be fatal" what the fuck

Gender-affirming care helps trans kids live happy, healthy lives. Health care decisions belong to families and our doctors, not politicians.

Current issue of @theonion.com nails it again.

Oh no. Oh no. Oh no.

7 of the top 10 recipients of military contractor money are Democrats, in case you still harbor the delusion of America not being an oligarchy.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality. And trans lives are grounded in reality. We see y'all. No matter what. www.popsci.com/science/tran...

These assholes claim to not even bother being aware of bills that would kill us. That's how little they think of our lives.

How far up your own ass do you have to be to come to this conclusion

To all the young people in New York and across our country who count on gender-affirming care: I won't let this administration come for you, your doctors, or your lifesaving health care.  Your health care is still legal and protected.  I'll always fight for you.

It gets even more pathetic— x.com/RepBeatty/st...

If any journalist wants to talk to a trans man with a PhD in Human Genomics who was trained in labs that studied the evolution of sex, I'm right here Or just keep platforming Republicans who have a 5th grade understanding of biology so they get more trans people killed, sure 🤷🏻‍♂️

Love this baby.

Cis people really have no idea how it feels to watch a regime hold a press conference to admit, on camera, the pogrom against trans people they've been waging for 11 months is not only real, but they're going to double down on genocide and try to wipe out all the children first.

Trying not to drown in despair

cis people on the skyline are genuinely more distressed by karoline leavitt’s lip fillers than the fact that congress just said, “what we should do is put any doctor or pharmacist in prison who gives lifesaving medical care to this specific kind of child we find gross.”
