i HATE that thing romance writers do where they describe someone's voice as a rumble like "thunder" or "coffee and cream". or when there's a fight scene in a romantasy and mid-action the protagonist notices the way the love interest smells "like pine and burnt wood and salt." wtf are we doing?

Melissa strengthened into a cat 5 hurricane overnight, w/ winds of ~160 mph & central pressure of 913mb. Even more strengthening is likely later today, which may put this storm in pretty rarified air historically for Atlantic hurricanes. Awful situation unfolding for much of Jamaica

”Whom among us has not been a mercenary for a bit?” Is absolutely crazy work

some things are murky and complex. some of the antisemitism baked into our society is rooted so deep you don't see it until someone says "hey so here's the Grimm Brothers' whole deal" or "that goes back to medieval Catholicism" and you're like "oh shit!" A NAZI TATTOO IS NOT IN THAT CATEGORY

we all just lived through fetterman and some of yall are really out here like, "i can excuse a nazi tattoo" like it's some boyish whim. i hate yall, i truly do!

"hey man, why didn't you lazer this off and hide the fact that you're a nazi?" this is what some of you freaks sound like rn... if you dont believe a white man WITH A NAZI TATTOO is a nazi, then maybe you're also a nazi because what the actual fuck

watching the debate comments between mamdani and cuomo about support for muslim new yorkers and it’s pretty clear cuomo is terrified of mamdani coming armed with ready-made, built-in demographic support without acknowledging that’s how white people have been dominating politics since day 1

uhhh my former employer didnt send me my last check but they're still expecting me to freelance for them lmao wtf is going on? why do i have to chase these people for my money?!

another night of terrible nightmares 😔

LIVE: Israel shoots dead at least 9 Palestinians in Gaza despite ceasefire Israeli soldiers kill at least nine Palestinians trying to return to their homes in northern Gaza City and southern Khan Younis

of course i have to fly during a government shutdown, when im already an anxious flier 😭😭

I've had a truly and spectacularly dog shit day

and if I play tiny bookshop on my switch all day again today, then what?

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

this is christian nationalism on full display. this is the most consequential moment in our countries history. this cannot stand, if it does america is finished

yeah, veejay was a shit starter and a little manipulative at times, but yall can't ever make me hate her!!! the chain mail dress? im gonna be thinking about that for weeks, months, years even!!

We are watching a coordinated right-wing takeover of popular media and it won’t stop here. archive.today/bXzZd

repeating the phrase "full books" as I slam my head against my desk until I pass out

i feel clarity for the first time in a very long time ✨️

finally taking my lunch at 2pm i feel like pure shit!

second church bazaar im at with my parents. the worst music from the most amateur musicians you've ever heard, at a volume so loud that im sure my hearing is being damaged. waited in a 20 minute line for a $10 plate that had ONE chile relleno. fucking rip. one more reason to rage against the church

what a fucking way to find out magic is real

Without comment:

i too would like an end to political violence it feels like i've been living under political violence almost all my adult life

rightwing media ecosystem operates by stoking hatred and anger and divisions every single day, they want people to constantly be afraid and want people to hate eachother, everything we are seeing is a result of the destablization the right has profited off of

man, im offline for one full day & return to the most insane news 😂 anyway, im starting to get hungry, i should start thinking about dinner

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

This explains it better than I can

What’s happening to CBS News is neither complicated nor subtle. www.mediamatters.org/cbs/how-cbs-...

I’ve been working on this for months! It is now out. Read. Read. Read. The stories I collected reveal the extent of bias tactics in U.S. newsrooms, even those we wouldn’t expect Palestine to be muzzled in. Thank you for trusting me to report!

It’s obviously not a new problem that our government is traveling the world randomly killing people of color with reckless abandon in their own communities, but it should still make us all furious.

begging my brain to feel joy at good news and to see the bigger picture. i have made some progress! feeling better than i was 3 hours ago. i will quite literally take any win i can get! i worked hard for this and i need to remember that!

i wish my city had better bookstore options, i wish our libraries opened on sundays, i wish we had a kino here, i wish it wasn't mostly chains and restaurants as far as the eye can see 😭

sequined polka dots at the top?? this season of project runway is pissing me off! Ethan and veejay were the rightful top 2. the twins are rude, sexist, and insufferable. if they were ugly, they wouldn't still be in the competition. at least antonio would for sure be out. Ethan robbed again 🙄

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

this is literally law roach to antonio virtually every episode of project runway

WELCOME VIRGO SEASON! ECLIPSES ARE NIGH! GET YOUR LIFE TOGETHER! ORGANIZE! GLOBAL STRIKE EVERY THURSDAY! BOYCOTT! NON COMPLIANCE AS A LOVE LANGUAGE! IT’S NOT COMPLICATED! NO TO APARTHEID! FREE PALESTINE! LET AID IN! ARMS EMBARGO NOW! END THE OCCUPATION! DO SOMETHING W YOUR LIFE AND BE OF SERVICE!

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

sometimes, it's very tempting to believe in karma. if only because it would offer neat explanations to certain things.

how am i?? i cried because the grim reaper took three of my chickens in my sims 4 game 😭😭 rip sour cream, frijol, and claude 🐔

Japan’s rebrand in popular culture is absurd considering the depths of evil they committed, and the lengths they’ve gone to silence as much of the evidence as possible.

depression is hitting me like a 10 ton truck today 🥺

eleventh day of being sick and now I have antibiotics 😭

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

unable to sleep because when I lay down I start to hack up a lung IM SO FRUSTRATED

agree! also, I'm confused about people finding it as stressful as they claim... ... but then, I grew up in a family of yellers, sooo maybe that's more a me thing than uhh normal

im still sick so I have passively watched so much TV and rn im watching AJLT... season 3 this is one of the worst things I've ever seen, Carrie continues to be insane, and yet... I CANNOT LOOK AWAY can't tell if this is fever delirium or not. could be

just reminding everyone not in the south, and particularly not in Texas, just how gerrymandered texas is and how republicans still want to make it worse! and the lengths they go to to make it possible.
