digging this up after 9 months to say that for some godforsaken reason the phrase "omg I forgot about lying" followed by "goated" or "so goated" has become a permanent part of my best friend and I's vocabulary and it's like perfectly attributable to this post

I still need help. I'm overwhelmed and everything hurts. Wishlist or PayPal preferred. www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/... PayPal.me/AugustMcMullen

Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike. You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

okay FINE I’ll log off

DO NOT PLUG SPACE HEATERS INTO POWER STRIPS DO NOT PLUG SPACE HEATERS INTO POWER STRIPS DO NOT PLUG SPACE HEATERS INTO ANYTHING BUT A GROUNDED, WALL SOCKET

I hate it when you’re separating the wheat from the chaff and it gets all up in your sports bra

Even through the most cynical Democrat-consultant-brain lens, “people can’t work and shop and go to school because of the gestapo raids” IS AN AFFORDABILITY ISSUE

“He was tearing them up and just shoving them in as fast as he could,” said Ali Martinez, a witness to the event. “Like when you see people in a hot dog eating contest.” According to the police estimate, around 57 of the 160 images on the wall were destroyed. 👑 king shit

Ghost lost his SNAP benefits and is dealing with a couple chronic conditions that are impacted by food insecurity. His Amazon wish list includes some gift cards, which could help him get some food in the meantime.

It’s amazing how few people know about this www.nytimes.com/2026/01/22/u...

one of the big thing i've seen is higher-level people insisting that AI is a massive timesaver because it allows them to very quickly generate something that someone else has to fix

"They stayed a little back." America is the only country that has ever called for help from NATO. NATO answered, thosuands of allied troops fought and hundreds died. Every time he belittles this, global fury at this guy and the nation that elected him grows. Americans will not be forgiven.

I think I was supposed to be a lil snek bc my body needs SO much horizontal time. I think I'd do very well just doin a lil slither 24/7 🐍

Another friend put it to me like this: "ICE has made the classic Nazi mistake. They've invaded a winter people in the winter."

I have been actively involved in protest movements for 24 years. I have never seen anything approaching this scale. Minneapolis is not accepting what's happening here. ICE fucking murdered a woman for participating in this, and all that did is bring out more people, from more walks of life.

at one point today my preceptor walked in and very dramatically said “our president is stepping down” and let me tell you in the two seconds it took me to realize he meant our university president I experienced the full range of emotions we haven’t even named yet

At a time of unprecedented daily scandals, this this whistleblower complaint, and the memo it reveals for the first time, breaks through for me as beyond the pale. It's the federal government conspiring in secret to subvert the Fourth Amendment. Read it here: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

"concept of a deal"

Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

Coworker: “Are you into Harry Potter?” Me: “Um. Much like The Book of Mormon, I was very into it as a child and can still have a normal conversation about it as an adult?”

still $20 short of picking up rx today, $140 total short of groceries and laundry and meds w/ no food left, and rly need to get all ASAP before the winter storm hits - anything helps 🫡💞 ko-fi.com/katiwithoutt...

“oh noooo it makes me feel bad and insecure when the person in charge of my country knows more than me” please god put people who know more than me in charge of the country

Can someone help push my friend over the finish line for staying housed in this winter storm? Less than two hours before eviction

ty to the friend who sent $173! accidentally underestimated transfer fees again so I’m still at about $10 (or $13 with THOSE fees? ugh) to go for housing and $200 for meds and food 🫡💞 ko-fi.com/katiwithoutt...

I bring a real “disabled people are disqualified from immigration to, and/or seeking asylum in, almost all other countries” vibe to conversations with nondisabled Americans talking about fleeing that they really dislike and never know how to respond to. 🙂

seeing some Canadian media with the take “did Mark Carney use too many big words in his speech for the median voter” and I just the speech was not FOR the median voter you dipshits! it was FOR the leaders of other countries! sorry he didn’t get up and speak in monosyllabic rhymes I guess??

Feeling good enough to sum things up. I don't have much and don't know what I'm getting next month yet. Donations are always welcome, but PayPal is the easiest one for me to use. venmo.com/code?user_id... cash.app/$CAugustMcMu... PayPal.me/AugustMcMullen www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Attn news commentators: Trump saying he could use force to obtain Greenland but won’t is not Trump saying he won’t use force to obtain Greenland. It is Trump using force as a threat to obtain Greenland. That is why he mentions it.

Post a car picture you took

they gotta be trolling me

idk what this says about me

friendly neighborhood barred attorney telling you to never put your ID on your phone

lol wow theonion.com/nation-yearn...

This is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...

I think people underestimate how big this is. Like a city-wide strike is not something that has happened in the US for nearly 100 years

This is an incredible cookbook. I've given three copies as gifts, and one family called it "nearly transformative" for its ability to widen the range of foods their autistic child would eat, and for opening paths of consideration for *what* things their child found objectionable. Buy it.

not doom scrolling I just want to be here when it happens alright

NO

Ghost is a disabled trans man living in Utah and he is currently having a mental health exacerbation on top of losing his SNAP benefits. PayPal is the best option if you’re able to help!

Me: “Hey we’re using our glutes when we walk, right?” 🧠: “…what?” Me: “Big muscles, evolved specifically for bipedal walking?” 🧠: “…” Me: “BITCH HAVE YOU BEEN WALKING JUST WITH THE CALVES???” 🧠: “Okay look I didn’t know how to tell you this but your hips are held together with string cheese”

Got it—you want to build wings out of wax to escape from the labyrinth. Way to take the initiative! You’ve been warned about flying too close to the sun, but here’s why that’s probably overly cautious-

when my case study gets published would it be inappropriately passive-aggressive to send a copy to the clinic that refused to prescribe me pyridostigmine because it wasn’t on UpToDate

it’s really some S-tier gaslighting because accurately describing the state of the field makes you sound like a conspiracy theorist. always glad to be able to just drop a link to Monbiot in The Fucking Guardian instead.

*clears throat* *taps mic* I had some edits thank you to @sbarolo.bsky.social and @ajdemas.bsky.social for their Jeremiah and Lazarus jokes which gave me the idea for this

this really made me laugh

tag yourself I’m “too small”
