@codivore.bsky.social Hi Ms Vore! I honestly have no idea how this type of thing works so I guess this is how I'll shoot my shot: I'm a writer, of both vanilla fiction and smut. One of my smutty ones is going to be published in a collection of erotic humor called Eggplant Emoji.

Question President Trump! If Jeffrey Epstein's mother had taken Tylenol when she was pregnant, would you still be on his client list? #jeffreyepstein

Does anyone else remember when we thought George W. was Satan? Simpler times

Here's, an ad pitch for running shoes in 2026: We see a stadium cheering on sime of gorgeous blonde, tall women athletes all running around a track. Suddenly, one of them stops and just starts to run off the track and out of the stadium. Now she's in a wheat field by herself.

Just canceled at Disney Plus and Hulu #disney #canceldisney #freespeech

“I think it is unbelievably dangerous for government to put itself in the position of saying we’re going to decide what speech we like and what we don’t, and we’re going to threaten to take you off air if we don’t like what you’re saying,” Ted Fucking Cruz said that!

Say, do you guys remember when Elon and a bunch of terminally online teens were trying to do a coup like 9 months ago? Remember when it felt like that was the scariest thing happening?

Let's see if we can get this trending: #IamAntiFacist

"This is not how an adult grieves the murder of someone he calls a friend. This is how a four-year-old mourns a goldfish," That is what Jimmy Kimmel said, and that is what got him suspended indefinitely from the air. Because criticizing the president is no longer allowed in America. #jimmykimmel

I know, I said I was done talking about #Charliekirk, but I can't stomach all the leftist lies about him! Sharing all those quotes of his that paint him as racist, homophobic, transphobic, islamophobic, xenophobic bigot! Here's the truth! The REAL Charlie Kirk quotes:

A death in Utah that I actually feel somewhat sad about. Hats off Sundance. Don't let the Bolivian army get you.

After 2 years of hard work, just ended my therapy work with my amazing counselor. Bittersweet for sure.

When you see liberals ringing their hands over the concept of "political violence", please recall this quote from what many people would consider an expert on the subject: "I do believe that, where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence..." -Gandhi

I am done talking about and thinking about #charliekirk. A disturbed person with a gun killed someone. This isn't new. Just because the someone happened to be quasi famous and have terrible views doesn't make it merit this much fucking attention. Let's talk about #Nepal. Or #Thelongwalk. Anything.

Unlike the right, I am prepared to admit being wrong about the motives of Charlie Kirk's killer. Maybe really he was a misguided left winger who thought this was a method of propaganda of the deed. It doesn't change how I feel about it. Murder is still bad. Kirk was still a POS. #charliekirk

Meanwhile, in Nepal, something fucking awesome is happening. #nepal #genzrevoltion

As the spin continues, do not let them gas light or rewrite history: Charlie Kirk was a far right activist committed to an agenda of fear and hatred. He was murdered by the follower of another, father right wing activist, who thought Kirk wasn't anti-semitic enough. #charliekirk

So how long before we start seeing conspiracy theories about how this straight white far right groyper was secretly REALLY a trans antifa Marxist?

Fuck it! Let's just put Andy Ngo in charge of the editorial board of the NYT! Why not?! Couldn't be much worse!

There have been 309 mass shootings in 2025, resulting in 1354 injuries and 304 deaths. 41% of LGBTQ youths seriously considered suicide, 19% attempted it. There have 37 measles outbreaks in the US in 2025, with 1454 cases, 180 hospitalizations and 3 deaths. Over 60,00 Palestinians have died in Gaza

I can't help but think of the assassination of Ernst vom Rath. The history nerds out there know.

Someone thought I was callous before. Let's try again: It is truly a shame that Charlie Kirk was such a colossal prick that it made someone want to kill him. It's a real bummer for, like, his family I guess

I am not rooting for Kirk to die. On the list of actively dangerous far right activists in this country he is mid tier. BUT I'm not clutching my pearls either. The right normalized political violence in this country and now they're reaping the rewards. Chickens come home to roost.

Time to quarantine Florida.

All right I'm going to just say it: if you have the option to vaccinate your child and you choose not to you are a bad parent. No further discussion.

"If you aren't a democratic socialist when you're under 30 you have no heart. If you aren't a burn it all down anarchist when you are over thirty you haven't been paying fucking attention." - Not Winston Fucking Churchill

There is a serious downside to listening to left leaning political podcasts in order from several years ago. When you hear them getting happy over Trump's losses we're saying that things couldn't get worse you just feel your heart break. Looking at you @fivefourpod.bsky.social

RFK jr, Congratulations sir. In an administration full of white supremacists, Christian nationalists, and fascists, YOU have managed to become the most frightening member through sheer incompetence and stupidity. You are an inspiration to fail sons and nepo babies everywhere. PS How's the worm?

Hey here's something that'll blow your mind: Republicans are not the conservative party in the United States. The Democrats are. Conservatism seeks to maintain the status quo with as little change as possible. Republicans are the reactionary party, seeking to wind back progress.

flashfictionmagazine.com/blog/2025/08... I'm ashamed to say I forgot the date that this was getting published. So this is a couple weeks old now. But if you're interested, you might enjoy.

Holy crap! I just re-watched the first episode of mash in forever. Hawkeye is a pig! He is just straight up sexually harassing, borderline assaulting every single woman in the hospital. And his best friend is nakedly cheating on his wife.

Imagine if the Surgeon General said, “Don’t ask me, I smoke.”
