I’m being so for real right now when I tell you that I have zero memory of buying this record. It’s like it just materialized in my house one day and I am CONFUSED.

Yelling about US economic policy and the absolute bullshittery that is our current tariff nightmare in a wealthy elderly relative’s FB comments, la la la.

Sometimes I watch Surya Bonaly’s 1998 Olympic free skate just to be able to feel something

Our school’s health aide bought me lunch today, what a world, what a life, etc.

Starting to get legitimately worried that my Spanish-speaking next-door neighbors have been disappeared. They’ve all been gone for more than a week, no one in or out of the apartment, and their cat has been living in my garage and begging for food.

The world feels pretty dark right now, but I’m not going anywhere. Plans for 2025: -Knit a sweater -Learn to embroider -Knit/sew stockpile of winter gear for our immigrant/refugee students for next winter -Be kinder to myself -Be kind to others

65 years later “The Twilight Zone” still hits SO HARD. Rod Serling was really onto some shit.

thinking about when siskel and ebert were dicking off and riffing in-between takes and decided to roast the shit out of the protestants

One thing I really appreciate about my 🦋 feed algorithm is that my doomscrolling is regularly interrupted by a photo of a cat.

This page from Charlotte's Web by E.B. White resonates so so much with me. Because... I guess it just goes to show that each and every one of us can be the saving of the other. If that isn't such a quaint idea in these strange times.

Help, I started imagining Beaker (the Muppet) performing Kipling’s poem “Boots” in the style of this 1915 recording and now the thought won’t leave my brain: m.youtube.com/watch?v=RNZ5...

Okay, Michigan comrades, has ANYONE gotten through to an actual staffer at Gary Peters’ office? Because I’ve called DAILY, at different times of day, and it just funnels me to voicemail. Given his actions thus far, this isn’t encouraging,

Rapid-cycling between exhaustion-righteous fury-terror-tiniestsparkofjoy-grief. It’s like 2008 all over again (thank you economy for crashing 3 months after I graduated college) but infinitely worse

Every time somebody follows me on here, I’m like, dude, why? 😂

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again - UBI, affordable housing, universal healthcare, these are the things that lower crime and addiction rates…

I think my cats just killed a mouse in the kitchen entryway but I can’t find the mouse so now I’m just stalking around the house shouting “WHERE DID YOU MONSTERS HIDE THE BODY”

queer and trans people exist. we've existed since the beginning of recorded time and will keep existing until this dumb country is a crumbling whisp of a memory

I think about this a lot. We are responsible for each other.

Day what, 10? Let’s fucking go. Keep the pressure on. Be a nuisance. Get on a first-name basis with your elected officials’ staffers. Let spite fuel you. Your continued existence is an act of rebellion.

Just added my elected officials’ office numbers to my saved contacts. Looks like daily calls are going to have to be the move going forward—I’m in this for the long haul, fueled by coffee and spite.

especially click through to the second post in the thread - we need to keep sharing how these orders would impact us to clarify what we need, build our mutual aid muscles, and keep shining a light on the actual human impact of these brutal orders

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Tiniest shred of hope at the moment: The Bee’s Needles had a moderately successful 2024 and I am converting my spare room into a home office in order to upscale the business. Turns out people do like old sewing patterns. Thanks, Grandma Helen, for the absolute stockpile.

Is anyone else just like. Crying at absolute random? All the time? Is this the vibe?

This is so goddamn funny

So like. If women become property, any gay dudes up for a lavender marriage? I own a house and my cats are cute. I also make a mean green bean casserole.

nothing will ever beat the time Tom Brady texted him and he went to his teammates and said "Tom Brady has been messaging me and I have a question" and they were like "cool whats the question" and Ichiro said "who the fuck is Tom Brady?"

Hey everybody, it’s a beautiful day to call your elected representatives and tell them how you feel because they work for you! I plan to be an absolute nuisance for MINIMUM the next 4 years. www.congress.gov/members/find...

The Democratic Party needs to get out of this woman's way.

Ugh, North and South (Elizabeth Gaskell) is just so GOOD, though. A nice one to revisit during the chilly months. #booksky

In light of . . . everything . . . @viennateng.bsky.social’s music continues to be a light in darkness, especially her latest trio. m.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

@hexbinder.bsky.social Neil I can’t believe I’ve never seen your art before—it’s so beautiful!

Textbooks are gonna get real weird about how they cover WWII now, huh

Anyway time to break this one out again I guess:

Hi I had therapy today and we basically accomplished nothing because I was sobbing the entire time, welcome to 2025 in America.

You can buy t-shirts and other swag with this awesome design by @tombofnull.bsky.social that benefit Huntsville's Free LGBTQ+ Closet. www.greenpeapress.com/shop/p/prote...

I don’t know what I’m doing here, but what I do have to offer is pictures of my cats.
