"How do you expect to win back men...?" We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

hey nitesky, help a guy out if you can, please share and donate if you can. id love to wake up to this going viral or at least noticed by someone really wealthy who maybe had a few whiskeys or a nice dose of ketamine and is feeling generous 🤞

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Snap = 42m people. That food money makes to every national chain including Walmart, Target, Safeway, and others as well as local grocery stores - they all depend on those funds to survive and stay open. 1 in 8 people receive snap. If government stays closed 42m will /may need food assistance.

It is imperative that Black civic and religious organizations make sure that our families' needs are met. We cannot allow any Black children to go without.

Look, here's the thing. Fucking pay Sydette, because this person earned it years ago and you're benefiting from her work if you're reading this at all. And then hire her unless you really love the idea of running a company without the best and brightest. With a better resume than yours, probably.

Jewish Insider just sent out an email with an article with more Platner info. And yeah, this guy is DONE done.

Klobuchar and Schiff approving Republican judges while Rep Grijalva waits to be sworn in. Fucking asswipes, the lot of you

You have to be willing to walk away from these guys if they let you down, just as a matter of basic self respect. It's not a fandom. You're hiring them to do a job or not.

Green sea turtles are making a comeback in the Pacific: nest counts on Australia’s Heron Island have risen, and populations across the Pacific now meet IUCN recovery thresholds, thanks to decades of protection, turtle-safe fishing, and community-led conservation. buff.ly/sbvCO4v #ShareGoodNewsToo

“The new outbreak began in August and has sickened more than 100 people, making it the second-largest cluster of cases in the country this year. A majority of the cases are in unvaccinated people… “We certainly have not had anything like this in many, many, many years,” said Walter Ornstein”

A small black kitten decided I didn't need to sleep last night; since I was up anyway, I finished up a cover of "Bring on the Dancing Horses" by Echo & the Bunnymen. We should all be so productive in a bout of enforced insomnia. youtu.be/JEz2OrCJeJw

It's Diwali proper, so I'm going to use this opportunity to port over one of my favorite threads from the Other Place to tell the story of why this holiday matters so much and why i get choked up every time.

Hi folksss... Stuff with my tax situation from my old game job got way worse so Im going ahead and making a gofundme to try and get help from my community. Im super grateful to any help I can get with this in these tough times <3 www.gofundme.com/f/support-wr...

This is why Republicans shutdown the government. Because they refuse to extend the ACA subsidies that expire at the end of the year. With open enrollment starting at Nov 1, marketplace insurers can no longer wait to publish rates. With alt text.

I’m wrong about the time frame. It was about a month ago now. 🤬😭 www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMmmRrht/

JF: it's Skyline Chili time in Covington!

With tears falling from my eyes, who do I have but you? My tired exhausted body has collapsed on my kids, and they are appealing to you, crying out in a voice full of collapse. I need $200 for food and clothing. There is no aid reaching us😭😭😭😥😥🙏 Verified @mommunism.bsky.social tinyurl.com/mpw5rahj

breaking into the louvre to steal back my heart after it was purloined by a certain little lady's inscrutable smile

To exist until my benefits are transferred — I.e., buy food and afford gas to get to medical appointments 2 hours away — I need to raise at least $1000 more. I’m sorry. Please share? gofund.me/72b6e44c8

Fellow Calcuttan writer/editor Archita Mittra is in desperate need of financial help. She recently lost her father, her home was damaged in the recent rains, & her mother's in hospital. They don't have insurance, & she's a freelancer. I can vouch for her. Please share widely & donate:

Happy Diwali. The world needs the light.

“Average musician makes $12 a month on Spotify. The fact that they are not even able to sell a record and it’s taken from them by rich motherfuckers on streaming platforms who get paid royally by record labels,Ticketmaster, merch companies. They’re all fucking getting paid, except for the musician.”

As someone doxxed by Andy Ngo, myself, I understand the drama it can bring. His latest target, Daryle Lamont Jenkins is the hero of the film SKIN, and an even greater hero in real life: A Black man who, on his own for decades, has targeted and transformed white supremacists. Now, he needs our help

Discworld QOTD, from The Color of Magic “By now the whole of downtown Morpork was alight, and the richer and worthier citizens of Ankh on the far bank were bravely responding to the situation by feverishly demolishing the bridges.”

Oh it’s not appropriate for your program to air the president wearing a crown and shitting on American citizens? You’ll talk about it in euphemisms? Maybe call it the “crown video” and ignore the shitting part? Because that’s appropriate? Tell me, was it appropriate for the president to do it?

If you are cancelling streaming services it's worth noting that we are currently living in a golden age of thrift store DVDs. Lot's of people have liquidated their collections because of streaming or because of the switch to bluray...

Historians of the future: Rest assured, millions of us know all this in real time. We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends. trib.al/0islLh9

Retired Army Sgt. Brian Wofford spoke to me this morning at the Oklahoma City #NoKings protest. Didn’t expect him to be carrying his DD214 so I asked some warmup questions like when he got out and whether his injury was service-related. He paused while describing the car bomb in Iraq to say this:

I’m still thinking about this, actually. School kids go through mass shooter drills these days the way we went through fire drills when we were their age. And it’s OUR fault. The least we can do is let them have their own ridiculous and loud JOY. “6-7” makes it them laugh and they’ve EARNED it.

Experts say that some effects of starvation in Gaza can be permanent. And for the severely malnourished, simply starting to eat normal meals again can cause sickness—even death. https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/what-comes-after-starvation-in-gaza

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

reposting with alt-text Zero arrests by NYPD is actually astounding to me

folks can complain about the effectiveness of scheduled orderly mass protest but to think about it another way its the closest thing we have to the opening scene of A Muppet Christmas Carol where all the muppets sing "there goes Mr. Dipshit, there goes Mr. Ass" to Scrooge and it clearly bothered him

If you were out in the streets today, thanks. If you left feeling inspired, please seek out local ways that you can keep organizing with others.
