Guys, The Rapture is Oct 4

Jesus. I saw this mentioned in a tiktok, and given tiktok’s propensity for questionable info and how awful this is, I honestly thought it couldn’t be true. It’s real. Oh my god.

I haven’t said anything about this bcz it’s so fucking overwhelming. There is no analysis, no critique. As poet Suheir Hammad says- there is no poetry in the ashes.

I’m ready

A new analysis found that without congressional action, more than 7 million people who buy their health insurance on Affordable Care Act marketplaces would pay much higher premiums next year, with nearly 5 million unable to absorb the price hike. From @stateline.org

This Church once got hit by lightning. I saw the fire, it was terrible and I smelled like it afterwards. They rebuilt it, though!

Another post-tornado streetview captured by the bot. This isn’t far from where I went to summer school.

once again, if tylenol caused autism, america would have a better rail system

every living thing faintly glows, emitting ultra-weak photons (or biophotons) - nothing our eyes can detect, but right now you are a lightbulb (if not a star) to some tiny lifeform gazing at you in the night.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life: 1. The first sleep in freshly laundered sheets 2. Melted cheese 3. When somebody checks out a place you suggested and they really like it 4. Finding a cat whisker in your house 5. Spending time by the water

Whoever designed those facades on that downtown commercial strip didn’t have time for ornament

Shana tova. It’s time to share the photo again. May we all make deserving politicians feel this way this year!

When they say ai is a time saver what that often means is that it’s a tool that makes it easier for you to waste someone else’s time.

New red light cameras become operational in Windsor and Canada officially recognizes the State of Palestine. These stories and more are in your morning news on the go.

Sad mode: Making a very good but POTENT memorial video for your cat and making yourself cry 900 times in a day with it Sad and hard mode: Writing a video description so your friend can experience it and having to type out all the little things you implied with the visuals

Today in grief is weird: We went to an outdoor showing of Hocus Pocus basically just to be sociable, it’s a fun and low stakes kids’ movie. I ended up crying bc I hadn’t remembered that the black cat dies at the end

Chronic health stuff has really been kicking my ass these past few weeks

On Sept. 10, Missouri had historic protests at the state capitol attended by thousands of people fighting against republicans’ gerrymandering in the state. If you actually care about helping dems win in the middle of the country, THIS is where you start. 📸 Jeanette Mott Oxford

Today I finally checked out Hazelnut Helper’s Art Cart and made a clay magnet. I made a memorial magnet of Doodles. 🖤

They updated my favorite phone game recently, and they purposely made it harder and clunkier to play to try to get people to watch ads and spend money. In positive news, this may cure me of my addiction to this game. Damn.

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.

What am I up to? Oh, just crying over a video of the new lighting on the Gordie Howe Bridge, a bridge I’ve watched get built that connects my city to the country we no longer deserve as neighbors. www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMdkWCUS/

A few years back I took some movement / leftie comms & campaign skills classes. I met a lot of the women who worked on the SUCCESSFUL pro abortion referendum in Kansas. Seriously go FUCK yourself, Ezra Klein. The middle of the country and the people who live here aren’t trash for you to throw away.

From what I’ve been hearing, CVS in Michigan hasn’t been asking people one single question. They also give u a $10 off a $20 purchase coupon

People with chronic pain in your hips and thighs, is there a portable outdoor chair that works for you?? The ones I’ve been using have not been working great for me lately, and I need to update my game. It’s gotta be something lightweight I can throw in a trunk and take to the park

I probably will delete this but today in very Ypsilanti moments, one of the singers at the backyard show we were at started getting the crowd to chant “de*th to Am*rica!” and a random person walking by on the street started chanting, too

Companies are willing to degrade any and all experiences with the premise of “what if we could constantly harass you into consuming more.”

I made something for my penpal and went “man I really like this one crayon in my bag of random crayons I got for free. I wonder if I could get a whole box of this kind” …turns out it is an obscure type of crayola that was only manufactured in 2001. People collect them

I'm furious about Jimmy Kimmel but fyi here's another free speech thing that happened to day and also is extremely not good www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

All of this is so, so unpopular and yet it doesn’t seem to matter at all.

It looks like my services as a name-your-own-price lawyer are going to be needed even more, especially for trans and Black people downstate. So IF you have a little extra and have already donated to mutual aid or Palestine, I'd appreciate if you wanted to support my work through Ko-fi or Patreon.
