Life. Don't talk to me about life.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WAJIH! 🥳🎉 Today, Wajih turns 4 years old. He is sick and has no food. Please help him have at least a happy birthday. Please help me show him he is loved. Please. gofund.me/a5f0237f5

you could have decided to be better, but you didn't, and then when your kids do it's time to bring in THE ENTIRE MURDER MACHINE THAT IS THE STATE to punish them for being queer, or autistic, or uninterested in your car-dealership dynasty, or willing to date outside their race

"my kids are defective!" is the battlecry of nearly every reactionary movement

A good old-fashioned Rapture prediction feels outright quaint.

Anarchists and antifa have been threatened with terrorist designation at least 5 times in the last decade: terrorism is an enhancement mechanism for charges that has been largely ineffective against decentralized movements, most recently Stop Cop City where terrorism enhancements have fallen apart

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

Always unpleasant when the kind of mother I write about in horror stories manifests in real life.

No shit the grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, Harold, that's why we do rotational grazing.

a group of people were like "i found a way to live my life as a truer version of myself" and instead of being like "that's beautiful, how can i help" people were like "i don't think schools should have books in them anymore"

"I just don't want to see death camps" bet me neither that's why we have to abolish "troubled teens wilderness camps" and juvie and jail and prison and ICE camps and Gitmo

That's the thing about kids, they need to eat every day, multiple times a day. So of course people are out here posting desperately!

Stevie Nicks should sue and also cast some spells.

What the hell did I just #horrorwatch

A story of how one man belatedly learned to lock doors. #horrorwatch

JK Rowling thought this was a documentary didn't she. #horrorwatch

I have a lot of questions about and for like the entire team involved in this film. #horrorwatch

Everyone in this film is completely motivationally incomprehensible except Burke & Hare & the morgue attendant #horrorwatch

"An elixer of life! That's as mad as if I went in search of the clit!" - professor Horndog #horrorwatch

God I love Bubbly-Shit-Ology. #horrorwatch

All this could be avoided by better documentation. #horrorwatch

"Based upon the story by Robert Lewis Stevenson" Is it, though? #horrorwatch

Excited for tonight's #horrorwatch! Bet it's going to be completely sane and not at all A Kind Of Way About Things!

Tonight, tonight! The greatest night of the week! Oh boy oh boy my blistering boglins of despair! What a gender bending #horrorwatch we have for you tonight! The Glen or Glenda of serial killer films! Hammer's classic 70's film, Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde!

I've probably mentioned before but Terry Pratchett laughed* at a super-mid joke of mine once. *chuckled, but it was still more than he had to do.

I hope it's not lost on anybody that the 'run pro-life Democrats' bit is a suggestion that the correct liberal course of action is to embrace a movement that established itself through actual terrorism to avoid the mere perception of being too nice to people who are rude on the internet.

Update: My arm hurts and I'm mad at the government.

from car dependence to employer-based health insurance to impossibly high rents, our entire society is just a series of scams designed for the singular purpose of trapping you in abusive, parasitic cycles of dependence and degradation. and if you try to change it, you're spat on for being selfish.

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago. Earlier today, federal agents unleashed chemical weapons on protesters, elected officials, a local congressional candidate, and a local mayor. Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.

Kinda makes sense though, AIs will happily steal your characters too.

Just got my flu and covid shots. Also got flu and covid shots for Chuk, who is uninsured. Those ones cost ~$300 together. If you're wondering why it's going to be another miserable winter.

Attention! Akram is trapped in northern Gaza. The cost of evacuation is extremely high, exceeding $3,000, and the situation is extremely dire as explosives are being detonated near him. Please help evacuate him from the danger zone. I'am very worried about his family, most of whom are girls 😣

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, I want to post a little reminder that many library cards will allow you free access to Kanopy, an amazing streaming channel. If your library card doesn't work, you can often sign up for other libraries in your region.

This thread was about Shymaa. It turned out she was shot by a quadcopter, and she may lose her leg. Im so so scared for her and her baby, I really need yall to support her if you can

Morning star.

Aaron Bushnell self-immolated in protest because as *active service military personnel* he saw the genocide being carried out with the tacit approval and material support of the US. And we all had to hear that he was crazy, if we heard about it at all. Where’s his fucking day of remembrance?

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

TBH I've done it back to them too. Long periods of my life when I communicated only good news even if that meant I didn't call for months. It made perfect sense at the time.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

Like, if I went into an evangelical church and threatened some of the people there with execution, deportation, and forcing them to become the subject of horrifying body horror experiments, do you think they'd just let me do that? Is that doing debate right?

So what you're saying is that 'fucking around' is a valid experimental protocol.

"JD Vance had Charlie whacked to steal his clout" might be a rumor with legs in the right places.

We are in urgent need of protection and a safe place to live. We’re raising support to help us escape danger and rebuild our lives in safety. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings us one step closer to security and hope. 💛 kindly give : #BringRuaaHome #SafetyForRuaa #HumanitarianAid

This mode of argument isn't even just 'right-wing' generally - it's very close to (I suspect two or fewer degrees of separation from) the techniques used by Creationists in their attacks on science back in the 80s-90s.

Reading THE STATE IS THE ENEMY by James Kelman. It's fascinating and frightening and also, in a weird way, reassuring that this isn't something new or even something that happened One Big Time before. The struggle is ongoing.

Someone fact-check this quote for me, I'm too drunk.

This camp is being violently evicted right now in the wake of a devastating shooting. People are mourning community members and simultaneously having their homes bulldozed. If you have t shirts, drinks, aspirin, new underwear, or cigarettes please bring to 1100 E Lake between 3-7 for distro!
