sorry basically the problem of my life is that i internalized and believed a lot of stuff people said about valuing children and loving your neighbor and living in a society at the exact moment that everyone in power decided all of that shit was fake and gay and not a way to make a living

my life would be improved if I could punch all Microsoft executives in the nuts from time to time. if they have an AFAB executive, then a cunt punch will do.

The number of ‌legal abortions in Poland doubled in 2024, while complaints to Polish authorities over conscience clause refusals in the country have apparently ceased. The government had told hospitals they are obliged to provide abortion on the legal grounds of a woman's ​mental health.

to imagine Zelli you need to picture like, Susan in Bringing Up Baby (only with more successful plans), and every time beleaguered Tahlen is like, confused and steaming, Zelli is like, yes I understand that but do you know how handsome you are? And Tahlen just sort of internally whines and gives in

Spotted this on a pole behind independence hall. I recently saw someone say they found collage to be the best way to work through things and I didn’t really see it at the time but

Tahlen and Zelli in all universes are like more openly horny Lucy Maid Montgomery characters

what's interesting (horrible) is that the msm barely covers ICE as it is, but rarely if ever mentions that the concentration camps are for profit, and they are being built to enrich shareholders, and then they will have to be filled to further enrich shareholders. and then the occupants put to work

Everything is so insane. I’m really impressed by folks who are showing up for their comrades and the broader movement despite bad/terrifying news coming at such a destabilizing rhythm. Ask for help and grace right now. The problems are too big to take on alone and people want to help.

How it’s playing in France. 🤡

Someone in NYC should do interviews with middle-school kids who take the subway to and from school every day, to see if they have any advice for Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy who can't seem to go a single day without pissing himself in fear over them.

Buying men shoes that are clownishly big for them and having them feel like they have to wear them in front of the world press is a sex thing, I’m sorry.

Hey worth dropping in a comment here—these policies can be used to censor games, comics, e-books and more.

“Each time I stand up to speak at a school board meeting, my knees shake, my voice catches... It isn’t that I’m more afraid of public speaking than death; it is that public speaking feels like it could cause my death.” And she does it anyway. Kudos, Kalyn Gensic. 👏

The FBI thinks you are fucking stupid. Iran has zero capability to cross the Pacific and sea-launch a drone attack on California. This is too fucking dumb for me to comment on further.

I can't say that I'll be boycotting Chili's as it has been years since I've been in one, and you can't really boycott a restaurant you already don't go to. That said, I'll be happy not to change my habits, transphobia leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

FAFO, Grammarly

The 2023 time stamp on this canon post is incredible. This is a 2014 weird twitter post. It’s like discovering the living coelacanth

The thing that I don't think they've fully grasped is because we've had two nearly three generations of adults who have been vaccinated, people are going to realize pretty quickly shit is bad when suddenly their kids are dying.

Aaah Colbert explained the shoe thing to me lol

Grammarly should get fucked

Most economists agree that by the time you're 50, you should be living in a book-filled cottage at the edge of the forest and solving minor mysteries in your village with the aid of a curious ghost cat.

Some days I just feel like this Edward Gorey bird gets it.

Kolanovic.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Iran’s people were facing a horrible shortage of water before the war began. If we are destroying desalination plants and setting fire to Teheran we are committing unfathomable crimes.

the number of people who are like, oh ChatGPT is bad, so I guess I will use Claude instead of just... my own brain.

every single employee being jailed is the moderate position

It’s the last day of the Read an Ebook Week sale at Smashwords! My books are 50% off, and as my backlist books have started to reappear there, I’ve been adding them to the sale. www.smashwords.com/profile/view... #readanebookweeksale #smashwords #fantasyromance #romantasy #lgbtqbooks #booksky

Make it stick.

It's @rcooper.bsky.social's "If You are Happy" but with cats 😻

Scottish Opera offers hugely discounted tickets to people under the age of 26. In fact most of the theatres here do, usually for around £10. Which means you could see a whole live show for less than the cost of a ticket to one of Timothee Chalamet’s films. Just saying.

Snickers, get off the cat! Cat? What cat?

Just when I thought I'd never need another tote bag...

"It’s contained” “It’s contained” “It’s contained” “Do you think it’s not contained?” Kellyann Conway, regarding the Covid-19 virus, March 2020.

did stuff outside and now i have allergy brain fog :(:(:(

Will Corey Lewandowski have to sleep with Markwayne now?

Inspectors General must be independent & nonpartisan. Reports say DOL IG Anthony D’Esposito plans to run for Congress. I asked if he’s running or doing campaign activity while serving as IG. He refused to answer. That is concerning given reports he put his mistress and fiancee’s daughter on payroll.

Anyway, Dr. Strangelove is amazing. My favorite Kubrick film actually.

Was just thinking Dr Strangelove is the mood abd found this: youtu.be/paqHN36P6kE?...

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

A war that isn't a war, documented with videos that may or may not be real, funded by elected leaders who are neither for nor against it, is the most dystopian thing that's happened in my lifetime

It is so damning of US news media that so many outlets refuse to just straight up say that Senator Tim Sheehy assaulted an activist. He did not "help" Capitol police. They did not need his help. He wanted to assault the guy and did. He should resign.

this should be the end of the Gavin Newsom 2028 discussion. the party has spoken, full stop

Gonna release a newsletter tomorrow. Finally. Not that I have much book news right now. But uh, I was supposed to at least do one in February and didn't so. Remind people I am alive, I guess.

I’m short hungry, but I only have long hungry in the fridge 😩😩😩

OH SHIT!!!!!!
