I'm angry. I am directionless in fury. My wrath wants to destroy everything I have been so lucky to assemble, because that's how anger works. I hurt. I cannot steer pain in a meaningful manner. Best I can manage silence myself & ensure those I treasure are never subjected to seeing what I truly am.

Hey so, asking all you other 80s kids.... Can we agree the way Judge Doom killed that 'toon shoe by submerging it in Dip was way worse than seeing Bambi's mother be shot off screen? Asking for a friend. #whoframedrogerrabbit #dip #bambi #childhoodtramaua #moviesweresupposedrobefun #ptsd

Hey could you ancient, corporate-anchored fuckwits get it? Could you hear the message JUST ONCE? You aren't losing because MAGA is strong. You aren't losing because we didn't give you enough money. You're losing because YOU HAVE LOST US, YOUR BASE. I know, I know, but try to keep up here.

So it's Black History Month and that means I think it's a good time to get familiar with Mike Pondsmith, if you're not already. When you see R. Talsorian Games, that's him. When you see Cyberpunk 2077, that's his world. Mekton, Castle Falkenstein, also him. cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Mike_Po...

I'm running for the United States Senate because I want to take YOUR voices with me to Washington and FIGHT to give the people what they want. Now is the time for fighters who will reject the status quo. I will be that leader.

I hope you will share this. It’s a message about Minnesota that ICE and MAGAs need to hear. (It can also be shared on any streaming platform.) NEW: Lyrics below in thread.

News from home tonight: a piece of my childhood on the farm, a former neighbor, has passed from age. My mother visited her regularly at the apartment, then assisted living, then the nursing home. I had meant to send picture of me sporting her son's business jacket. Hadnt yet. Too late now. DONT WAIT

My first remarks since being arrested last night.

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

11 years gone, as of 40 minutes ago. I miss you, Ra. I miss you so, so very much. You were my first #cat and my first guardian and my first parlor panther. You made me laugh, you made me cry, and sometimes you did .... things. Bad things. But you were always there for me.

Take your #bullshit #FIFA #Peace_Medal & shove it up your ass, #Trump, you warhawk fuck. "Peace President" my ass. Just like little George Bush, you have put us into the middle of another unresolvable #war of your #GOP party's greed's making with #venezuela for #oil www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

Yesterday my clothes washer broke, & is full of dirty water I will have to pump/bail out by hand before I can pull it out to determine if it's the pump or the relay (or $OTHER). I have plenty of clothes, having done all my major laundry last week, but this is still vexatious. Will not miss 2025.

Four hours left for #Christmas in my part of the States, so *technically* I am not late in my tradition of posting this most festive cover of a song by #thebandghost youtu.be/d5pTSX8p-6c

Happy Christmas Eve from adoptable kitty, Davidson! Davidson is one of our sweethearts participating in our Forever Home for the Holidays Adoption Special and he wants to remind you that his adoption fee is waived for one more day! This gem is a charming and steadfast fellow, he is going to bring

BY THE WAY If you've updated to Windows 11 recently, you're probably on version 25H2. There's a new setting in Settings: Privacy & Security. Scroll aaaaaaaalll the way to the bottom and you'll see "Text and Image Generation." TURN IT OFF.

Treasonous rats leave 1 ship to join another ship that *surely* had no hand in the sinking of the other ship. They don't care about us. They don't love America, they only love what enriches themselves & oppresses The Others. And one day soon, we will be The Others www.politico.com/news/2025/12...

They hate us. They want us to die. We have never mattered as long as they could engorge themselves on our dime after we handed them the keys. I don't care what party you identify with, just see that THEY DONT CARE. Primary the lot of them, vote the youth, elect the independent. Else it gets bad.

I am in some sort of capitalist hellscape (shhhhhh don't spoil it for me) where insurance company $Ballscape has the best available policy price for me despite 22 years & no claims with $Harmers & thnxs to veteran father I could go with $YouEssAaa! Fuck, I'll sell & go back to renting an apartment.

I will be donating because Sheryl does so much work for people PRO-BONO and needs to be able to hire someone to assist. She also fundraises to support others but not herself. If you can support, please do.

These are the Democrats that are cosponsoring legislation to repeal Section 230: Dick Durbin, 81, retiring in 2026 Sheldon Whitehouse, 70, not up until 2030 Amy Klobuchar, 65, not up until 2030 Richard Blumenthal, 79, not up until 2028 Peter Welch, 78, not up until 2028

Until they invented the other side of Velcro, it never really caught on.

They continue killing us for profits, and continue getting away with it. Have been doing so for decades. This is stockholder and executive #greed , and #capitalism entirely unchecked in the United States. It doesn't have to be this way. #HealthcareForAll www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Just out of curiosity, do I have a large gap in my historical knowledge about oil, land, and assets that Venezuela took from the United States? Sometimes my mind wanders in class so it is totally possible

"Mexican Border Defense Medals?" Oh my Christ, for the generation that both created & slagged on "participation trophies," this is just too good. Manly medals for all! Then, the video of the Felon In Chief wandering around the Oval Office like he is hoping to make a friend? It adds another layer.

Since December 1st of 2024 I have had two friends, one uncle, one cat and one cousin pass away. Late 2024 and all of 2025 has been hard. Some might say "Make December a joyous time, and celebrate them!" Maybe I can, in 2026 or beyond. But this year, for me, it is a month of sorrow and remembering.

Shit, I missed your anniversary by nearly a week, my friend. I know you will understand but it still pains me. Not as much as it pains me to know I missed the very last time you signed onto FM, or as much as your absence this last year has been weighing on me. www.choicememorial.com/obituaries/R...

I am 100% opposed to these laws because in all cases they are used to pressure disabled people to die. Because that's cheaper than providing the supports they need to live. It happens in Canada with MAID, it happens in Oregon, it will happen in Illinois.

Reasons I don't use Facebook any longer, number 38-b: Only on Facebook could I see a bunch of suburbanites getting upset that a 20-year-vacant lot has been purchased by the township & plans have been approved to build a food pantry upon it. No joke, one said "Oh no! This is absolutely terrible!" 1/

I will be answering no questions. (Love it, Lar! I hope @avantris.bsky.social see and enjoy it too)

I’m a single issue voter and my issue is that those busses that bend in the middle should make accordion noises

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

#Wicked (2024) is both the film I should be watching tonight and the story I ... really should not, when I'm in this place. A lot here for me to unpack.

Get a fantastic deal and keep on marching, aff?

I love my mother, but her take on medicine is "you just need to go take a walk in the sun & the fresh air." Lady, my BP is averaging 148/95 for the last two weeks. I could snort pixie dust out of a flower in a Disney movie's glistening meadow, it won't matter-this needs actual medical intervention.

*family sitting down for Christmas* outside: *CRASH* *family opens patio door to see mangled splatted body of Hans Gruber* Little boy: oh no! Our table! It's broken! *family looks at each other, then laughs and goes inside while taking out phones to share memes* boy: *traumatized stare at body*

Pet grief support centre launched at Ontario Veterinary College in Guelph, Ont.

Hey folks: this morning we're launching a monthlong fundraiser for @techdirt.com. Over the last year, we've been steadfast in not self-censoring, not capitulating, not sanewashing bullshit. But that's come at a cost. And we need help: rtb.techdirt.com/products/fri...

Black Friday, Cyber Monday... please don't forget to be generous to the hard-working animal rescues when we get to Giving Tuesday. www.hhas.org/donation/

Of all the headlines I thought I would read this year....

Imagine being in love with someone, and understanding they have particular kink/fetishes online. In the spirit of being "good, giving & game" you try to learn more about those things & how they hit with your flame. Then get non-answers, but see how they do it with another party. Pretty humbling.

It’s not a great deal if you don’t need it. And especially this year, others really need support. So for all of us who have enough, let’s refuse to get sucked into the holiday shopping frenzy and share instead of shop. We don’t need more stuff, we need communities where all our neighbors are safe.

I will hold you close for the minute. Yeah, I will hold you for the minute it takes. #thebandghost #lyrics #thefutureisaforeignland #despair #hope youtube.com/shorts/ZNZJW...

Chili is ready. I am indeed having trouble sleeping, why do you ask?

Tonight I had a wonderful meal at Bakers Square (they still exist!) and 20% of my total went to a #cat rescue that is important to me. And now, if you'd like, you can #contribute to the cause from afar! For the next 7 days, GroupRaise is allowing online donations! www.groupraise.com/events/31268...

This is my boy Ra, who left me in 2015. He was my first parlor panther and I used to joke the white patch on his belly was an inverse censor bar.
