How many days before he says the N-word again ?

Adopters leave abusive comments on adoptees’ posts all the time. I always think about the mother somewhere who was told her child would be better off — and this is what better off looks like. New essay up. #adopteevoices #adoptionistrauma #listentoadoptees open.substack.com/pub/defendsu...

...pretty sure he still uses racial slurs when he thinks he can get away with it...

another day with guns

Part of the "If my candidate didn't win, it was a fraudulent election" psychosis that probably warps authoritarian personalities more than others.

private devices = private conduct (except when it isn't?) 🤷‍♂️ I have more questions now than I had before this decision came out.

Sadly, this is predictable. The mainstream press is so desperate for a “normal” HHS Secretary that it readily laps up any drivel coming from RFK Jr. declaring that he’s “not antivaccine” and report it as though credible. It’s not. RFK Jr. lies constantly, especially when he denies being antivax.

Adoption means being gaslit every fucking day of your life. 🥚

Corruption, thy name is Trump

Majority of "orphans" around the world have at least one living parent. They all have extended family. We love the story of the rescued child because it makes us feel important when in reality we are no better than thieves who steal children from their families, cultures, and very identities. 🥚

"Paper Orphans" are up for sale...

Zhang Shan won the gold medal for the mixed skeet shooting event in the 1992 Olympics. The International Shooting Union *immediately* banned women from competing against men.

Yes, Trump (the orange turd) is an asshole, but stop sharing "truth social" posts that are fakes.

It’s been a real banner year for “that guy who gives off those vibes? Yes it turns out it was completely correct”

And what if men needed to cover their drinks when they're out at bars ?

‼️ Last night while you were sleeping, Senate Republicans passed a blank check of $70 BILLION dollars to fund ICE (with ZERO reforms added). (1/2)

Democrats offered amendments to use this money to fund health care, school meals, childcare, and reverse Republican cuts to SNAP and food assistance. Republicans blocked Every. Single. One. The Big Ugly Bill 2.0 will now come to the House. As you know, I am a HELL NO. (2/2)

I think that endemic means it's here to stay 🤷‍♂️

So the FBI's priority list under Kash Patel is: 1. Investigate a journalist for reporting on the Director’s girlfriend 2. Sue The Atlantic for reporting on the Director’s drinking problem 3. Avoid arresting a single powerful man implicated in the Epstein files Did I miss anything?

plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose

Within minutes of posting an article on sexual assault and the rape-a-palooza that is our country, I get hit with porn bots on BlueSky. But not all men.

Please consider a donation to Charlotte. She does not want to be homeless. Again. Or if you, like me, cannot donate money, please repost so other people could. Thanks!

This is still happening it just looks different now. I was removed from my family over a decade after ICWA was passed. I'm still struggling with the fallout and I had/have a "good" adoption

the orange turd and his merry band of idiots are gonna fill the military branches with a bunch of Captain Stillmans ("Stripes" (1981))

let us not forget that Project 2025 is meant to move us all toward being bible-thumping idiots

it's everyone or no one because all cultural elements are intertwined

People with preexisting conditions also don’t deserve to die

Stunning insight from the Intersex Society of North America about adoptees and intersex kids: "...the central mistake made in adoption over the last many years is the same mistake made in cases of intersex: an assumption that children would be better off if they didn’t know the truth." 🥚

Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

👀

money makes the world go 'round 🥚

It's as if "pride of ownership" is greater than what's in the best interests of the infant/child... 🥚

The CDC staff are thorough and scientifically meticulous. If they said the data on Covid vaccine efficacy was ready to publish in MMWR, it was solid. Bhattacharya is a hack and a stain on medicine and public health 🤦🏻‍♂️

!!!!!! Another (not) fun fact. Did yall know that ppl do not have to tell adoptees we were adopted? Like EVER. Can yall imagine how many ppl have passed on or are still living and have no idea? 🥚

the orange one has screwed the global tourism industry

white jesus saviors with guns killing and then stealing an infant for god, for country, for white jesusness 🥚

When you ask us how our adoptive parents feel, you reinforce the idea that we can't or shouldn't search unless we have permission or approval. You treat us like children. We're adults who choose to do something for ourselves! Do you ask other adults how their parents feel about a decision they made?

Bad news for the world's biggest penis.

The origin story of L. Louise Lucas: she was gerrymandered into one district just as she was ready to run for Congress.

Since it is Sen. Louise Lucas appreciation day, I would like to remind everyone of the time she smugly stood on the steps of the VA capitol while Governor Youngkin cried about her killing his stadium deal.

the younger folks should Run for Something
