gofund.me/d2c309d9d I can't believe this is happening. Stevie is ill and is in the hospital. His fever is so high that he needs constant care. $4000+ later, we are tapped out. He is still eating & drinking, which is a good sign. It's not his time to go, but without help, we can't keep fighting.

false eyelash girlies: which cheapy falsies should i buy for my m*ga woman costume? i don't know about these things!

please vote for my son steve so he can be in the 2026 calendar! donations go to a great pet rescue here in portland. steve says "thanks in advance" gogo.photo/622491

hi, cis folks! trans people need your help! the FY26 budget gets a vote by 9/30. GOP wants a ban on funds for ALL health services that provide trans care for ANY AGE. they're trying for other bans, too. we need you to call senators like chuck who don't get it: reps.fyi info & script in the🧵⬇️

i DEEPLY hate the term. it's patronizing, it's a stupid euphemism, it plays into the transphobic notion that cis people are humoring us, it's epistemological oppression to avoid saying the word trans, 90% of the shit cis people do isn't called "gender affirming", etc it's fucking trans healthcare.

Assata taught me that “Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is.” May her spirit fly free!🤲🏾

further update about the specific mechanisms they want to use to attack anti-fascists (not just "antifa" but anti-fascists more broadly)

I would say that among people I know the primary two positions are "freak out" and "ignore this" and you will be shocked to know i think neither of those are the right move, but both are understandable. I think this is worth closely monitoring, without losing your shit over it.

i love when people sell shitty plastic anything, mark up the price, and refer to it as "vegan leather"

I just got an email about it being the 100th anniversary of The Great Gatsby. It's triggering because I once accidentally took an undergrad literary criticism class in which the instructor based the ENTIRE CLASS around that fucking book.

“War criminals are not welcome!” The BDS movement just launched an organizing toolkit to support businesses and civil society groups as they expand and strengthen the #NoRoomForGenocide campaign. We call on supporters globally to escalate the No Room for Genocide campaign now! loom.ly/hD0P0lM

are there still people who call themselves "prompt engineers"

i'm going to reshare this every time i get a friendly reminder. i got two yesterday: "friendly reminder, the cafe is closing in 30 minutes." "friendly reminder, your prescription beginning with DEX is ready."

once i went to AWP in LA & this guy in my MFA program asked how it was. i said "i went to a sushi place with fish swimming on a screen like an aquarium" and he gave me a judgy look. i didn't even say i got in free & skipped EVERY panel! (inspired by finding the only file in a folder called "AWP LA")

facebook is trash and nobody i know has used it since like 2016, but i have to say, i miss their event invite stuff and people "remembering" my birthday every year.

Friendly reminder: Don’t ever start what you’re about to say with “friendly reminder”

i don't care how funny people say seinfeld is. nobody needs to hear that much slap bass.

Men are WILD

Skincare product names are so off the wall. How can something be both "milky" and "jelly?" And why would you want it to be? Anyone want some Creamy Jelly Milky Gel? Some Jelly Milky Cream Foam? Curdled Melty Milk Juice? Moisty Milky Jelly Cream?

I still spend a lot of time thinking about this sign at the Safeway in Hayward. Like, I didn't go there for several years, went back, and it was still like that.

and so i sez to the guy...

remember when we were all walking around in the same Coastal Contacts glasses with the multiplication and division signs on the frames? we really did that.

Bluesky is a constant assault of depressing US politics headlines and photos of unattractive old white govt men who've never given a woman an orgasm holding papers and leering at each other in poorly-decorated govt offices that haven't been updated since the 1800s, AND ABSOLUTELY NO MEMES.

dudes. the curious case of natalia grace is WILD.

these are definitely the same people who sing along with Killing In The Name Of and have no idea what the song is about.

i wish he’d let me trim these paw poofs without screaming the equivalent of “dog abuse!” to all the neighbors

1. Breaking News: Donald Trump has signed an executive order targeting trans youth and teachers in schools who teach for them. It goes after "social transition" and threatens arrests. I will go through line by line, as I have the last 3 nights. Find the EO here: www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

I appreciate all the people recommending the Shock Doctrine. I've been thinking about what makes Trump's use of these tactics a little different. In recent decades, shock tactics were used mainly to rapidly impose neoliberal economic policies. But what Trump is doing goes way beyond that. a 🧵

Don’t worry guys, it’s under control

I have met exactly one cat in my life named Kevin. And yet, whenever someone talks about a person named Kevin, I assume they're talking about a cat.

i just learned there are "productivity bros" who go on "entrepreneur diets" and refer to their jobs as their "grindset"
