Ordering contact lenses and crying over the price. Seeing is a rich man's game.

The speed at which the elites are taking everything from us makes me think they know something we don't. Is it a meteor? Is it rapidly approaching climate catastrophe? Whatever it is, the plan is to amass as much wealth as possible while leaving us to die.

So this Friday the 13th is feeling particularly ominous.

Took a video of the Strawberry moonrise last night.

A Mexican flag? In El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Ángeles del Río Porciúncula? Well that’s just downright unamerican!

Just returned to society after a week in the mountains, and *gestures broadly* this is not it. Take me back to the mountains please.

We've handled this before. If you see someone wearing these in public, well, you know what to do.

It's officially time to delete your Duolingo. It's a terrible language learning app anyway. fortune.com/2025/05/20/d...

There is finally a release date for Philip Pullman's third volume in the Book of Dust series. And I have been desperately awaiting this for years. The world better not end before October, because I need to read this.

I wish the media would report on billionaires with the same cynicism they reserve for police shooting victims.

There it is…

Braising chashu pork for homemade ramen tonight and my entire apartment smells amazing.

Surfing with friends is the best remedy <3

I've never understood econ majors. If you wan to study fiction, literature is far more entertaining.

We just wanted to take a moment to thank all our new supporters! Tomorrow, there will be more of us!

Not me procrastinating by looking up handmade lord of the rings costumes. Suddenly I need to spend $1000 on Eowyn slaying the witch king armor. Yes, my mental health is fine, why do you ask?

The Cocteau Twins are the perfect background writing music. Because I have no idea what she is saying, I am never distracted by the lyrics.

The saddest thing for me about the last 5 years of the pandemic is watching people I love and care about fall for right wing talking points about public health and embracing the exclusion of disabled people from society.

It's unfortunate that Bono is such a steaming pile of human feces, because 1980s U2 kinda slaps.

This time change is absolutely destroying me.

Europe re-arming itself to attack Russia, it's almost like we've seen this movie before.

People who actively post and interact on Linkedin and its not specifically required by your job, what the fuck is wrong with you?

Whenever I feel sad or depressed, I just watch videos of Americans mocking British food and I feel replenished knowing I don't have to eat that.

My documentary is a finalist for a big cal humanities grant, however me getting the actual grant will depend on if Trump's cuts to the NEH go through or not. I'll find out in April.

Here's my conspiracy theory: the meteor is going to hit in 2032, the billionaires have known this and so now they are just strip mining every asset they can get their hands on before they descend into their bunkers. That's also why they are letting all these diseases circulate unchecked.

Have you ever read a book that was so good that it breaks your heart a little bit to finish it? Yeah, that just happened to me.

The American Federation of Government Employees, the largest federal employee union, has now grown to a record size of 319,233 active members. 14,000 new members joined in the past five weeks. That’s nearly as many as the previous 12 months. minnesotareformer.com/2025/02/07/f...

Someone explain to me why the Bloc Party reunion tickets are starting at $270 a piece! Like wtf. This is why I don't go to live shows anymore.

I hate to say it, but I am pretty sure human to human spread of bird flu has already begun...

My husband has a theory as to why so many conservatives used ivermectin for covid and felt better after. It's not that it had any impact on treating covid (or even the placebo effect), but that the drug killed all the parasites people have inside them from eating under cooked pork.

I went to the allergist to get my epi pen rx refilled today. They had a huge sign encouraging people to mask, but of course I was the only person wearing one. When my unmasked doctor asked me why I was masking, I told him I have had long covid and don't want it again. He said "very smart."

My upwardly mobile aspirations is to achieve the standard of living that was considered poverty in America in the 1990s.

In grad school, I studied how US-backed structural adjustment policies in Africa essentially strip mined nations of their public services and safety nets, destroying the environment and impoverishing the people so multinational corporations could profit. The USA is now bringing these policies home.

Looking at the next three days of red flag warning and calling my renters insurance to make sure it covers wildfire damage.

My family lost our home and all our possessions in a 2008 wildfire. Two nights ago the same happened to my aunt and is continuing to happen to thousands of families in Los Angeles. The people cheering on the destruction of California absolutely disgust me. Climate change will come for all of us.

Biden sending hundreds of millions more abroad for war while Los Angeles burns to the ground really captures the depravity of the US empire. This is a death cult.

Direct hit on the Sunset Fire in Hollywood. 🎯 Nice work, @lafd.bsky.social #LAFD c/o @nbcla.bsky.social 👨🏼‍🚒

I think my aunt may have lost her house in the Eaton fire in East LA. Don’t know details yet, she was one of the first to have to evacuate. We will hopefully learn more as the day progresses. Stay safe LA friends and family!

UCLA is refusing to cancel class or go remote despite a fast moving wildfire near by and 100mph winds forecasted. Well done UC admin, thanks for proving yet again that you are absolute toxic garbage.

Denial around the now near constant spread of illness is getting out of control. Tried to warn my friend about bird flu and his backyard flock (it’s now documented in our county). He told me to never mention bird flu to him again… like sure, but not mentioning it won’t make it go away.

Agnes telling me she needs a treat.

Had a lady at Costco thank me for masking today, which marks the first time I’ve been approached in public for masking in a manner that wasn’t harassment. Maybe a better world is possible.

Watching Die Hard, and I am sorry but shag carpet in a bathroom is absolutely disgusting. The 80s got some things right, but not this.
