Oh are we having the "only fuck people with books" discourse again? Bc if so, who want me (not pictured: like 6 of those massive black and yellow Home Depot storage totes, also filled to the brim with books)

Apologies in advance for whenever we get the next massive snowstorm that puts an end to False Spring #1, for you see, I actually properly shaved my legs today for the first time in months; much like the groundhog, this will ensure many weeks of freezing temperatures. Soz.

I will succeed because I am crazy

delete your reddit, meta, and google accounts they’re helping the fascists without even being told to

BRB making a cross-stitch of this to hang next to my bathroom mirror

Change your gender, become a poet, catapult yourself into the sun. There are no rules. You can do anything you want.

I started this magazine in a different body, gender and name and with zero editorial experience. Will yourself into existence

"Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot." — Carl Sagan

emotional and intellectual overwhelm is not a debate tactic it is a manipulation tactic. hope that helps

It happened again right on the cusp of me trying to get out there & meet people again, this time with a longtime friend being divorced by her husband and leaving her financially stranded bc he prioritizes alcohol more than their decade-plus together. The world sure is not kind to romantics, y'all.

i honestly believe that this idea that you have to subject yourself to every shocking horrifying image as part of "the fight" mostly manifests in people who are doing absolutely nothing to "fight" other than post on social media because i never see it amongst people who are getting things done

This factored into my dreams last night too. I'm so angry.

Was cleaning out my linen closet and realized all my condoms have expired bc I bought them 4.5 years ago, i.e. the last time I had sex I'm so excited to report that I've picked up another pack, which will ensure I will have absolutely zero opportunities for sex from now until they expire as well

The problem here, of course, is that it also works effortlessly on men whose attention you want 😞

Oh my god, y'all, a fuckin old man (like at least my mom's age if she were alive today, and defo older than SwampDad) tried flirting with me at the grocery store by chatting me up about CILANTRO. When I said I wanted a Valentine, this was not what I fucking meant.

Me and who

It happened AGAIN, this time being forced to run the gauntlet of makeup/perfume counters at the Twelve Oaks Macy's on Valentine's Day to return something at a store in the mall. THEY KNOW I AM NOT ONE OF THEM. I am so uncomfortable.

Happy Valentine’s Day, from us to you. Tag your exes. Xoxox

Me: "I'm gonna paint & sew today after I run my errands, and then tuck into my pile of library books!" My brain: "hey wanna see what I made?" *violent migraine aura* My phone: "Hey don't forget it is both Valentine's Day AND your dead mother's birthday!! Did you forget? I bet you forgot." 🙃

Breaking: The CDC reports SARS-CoV-2 levels *quadrupled* in Minnesota in the past week. Using harmonized wastewater estimates, we project 1 in 12 people in Minnesota are actively infectious. This is equivalent to a 59% chance of exposure in a room of 10 people....

I would punch a nun while the Pope watches if it meant I could have some fresh French breakfast radishes rn

On my bullshit again (listening to entirely too much Eisbrecher until I get moody and horny)

Huffed natural gas for an hour and a half* and then found the ume syrup that @nocontroller.bsky.social was talking about at the H Mart; I needed this so, so bad (*seriously someone's gotta fix that gas leak at the Russell, wtf)

Y'all, plz check on your friends who've had the last ten to fifteen-plus years of their life ruined by rightly recognizing the mass gaslighting that's been going on this entire time and being called delusional or paranoid for it, because we are not fuckin okay at all

It's Friday, so it's time to lie facedown on the floor and blast Eisbrecher until I stop wanting to scream until I taste blood

On my bullshit again (listening to entirely too much Eisbrecher until I get moody and horny)

The thought that young radicals don't grow up to be middle-aged or old radicals without the influence or blessing of a male partner or once they have to worry about childcare is just sparkling misogyny. Women & femmes are actively better at living and thinking collectively than ANY of y'all.

Yes I'm gonna keep hammering on about this, and it's bc the implication of "liberal wine moms" is that any young women/femmes in leftist political movements are only there to snare a man and don't have any actual understanding/interest in it, so once a man is snared, we stop worrying about politics.

Leftist dudes who perpetually call all women & femmes in leftist spaces "liberal wine moms" while constantly demanding other people firebomb Walmarts to kickstart their Glorious Revolution are simultaneously screaming, crying, throwing up, shitting their pants

Me: I’m always craving more queer representation in media Some guy: let me tell you about my boner

I am so, so tired of men

New adventures in antisocial behavior at the allergist's office: I am now sitting by a GROWN-ASS MAN in his 50s who is intermittently picking his nose and eating it??? Can I be granted special dispensation to punish people who can't behave in public????? I promise I'll be very responsible with it!!!

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.

In the market for a soft flannel shirt sized somewhere between 5x-7x tall; please let me know where I could find such a thing

Bro it's so bad. Stancil is admitting he's in contact with ICE, he's filming faces and getting into it with militants at protests, all kinds of foul shit.

Every day I don't put my fist through a wall or start screaming until I taste blood is a victory

The pronoun labeler, which was by far the most useful labeler on the site, was deleted by its creator. But thanks to @ripperoni.com there’s a new one available. I highly recommend it. It’s a great way to share your pronouns or see someone else’s pronouns at a glance. bsky.app/profile/pron...

misogyny is so integrally important to the current fascist movement and any resistance to it that isn't militantly fucking feminist will fail

"plus the girls" is just another reminder that he does not think about women and girls as equal human beings with dignity.

What's that? A white lady from Lake Orion coming in to exploit an impoverished majority-Black city by gentrifying homes and driving out the original residents...is a RACIST??

ICE “left” Chicago in November, but they’ve disappeared three people from my community in two days this week. Don’t believe the hype about them, leaving Minnesota, either.

yall, Atlanta Community Press Collective is running out of $. we’ve sued for public records when no one else would. we covered Cop City from the ground for years. we train and pay local freelancers. we publish work other outlets wouldn’t touch. if this reporting means anything to you, PLEASE donate

So James Van Der Beek went for alternative therapies (not covered by his insurance) and that made his health decline that much more? Also, his wife was/is a covid denier and anti-vax? 😩

just seeing this now. walking distance from my house.

I'm not believing this until I hear from people in the streets of MN and neither should you

Have I ever told y'all of my theory that Astbury is an unrealized transfemme

It is fkn criminal that I am having such a good hair and outfit day when I know damn well any minute now my immune system is gonna start screaming and never stop

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

It would be so nice if we could collectively recognize the biathalon guy's actions not as a cute love story, but as deeply manipulative & toxic. This was not a message of actual sorrow or remorse; this was an attempt at control on his part, thinking she'd bow to the social pressure of the narrative.
