Social media, 2026.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support our work! Your $ helps us keep paying and training some incredible freelancers:

This work is grueling. We haven't stopped despite threats and intimidation, tear gas wrecking our bodies, or anything else they send our way. We are 100% voluntarily reader supported. No big donors. No paywall. Monthly contributions help us sustain our reporting. We hope you'll consider us today:

Today, I urge everyone to find and financially support an independent news outlet — one that will not be attending a spectacle dinner tonight to schmooze with the Trump administration while they berate the press.

I’ve been finding a lot of clarity in the theory that we’re experiencing an epidemic of unsupported and unrecognized trauma in the population at large

I worked in my law school's affordable housing clinic my 3L year and one of my cases was deed theft of a lower-income co-op building (HDFC). Deed theft is no joke and the perpetrators are a special type of trash.

$205/ $500. I don’t have $ for my phone bill or Internet. I’m running out of basic toiletries. I’m fucking drowning. I know I’m not the only one. I’ve been sharing other folks’ asks because it costs me nothing. If I’m being honest, though, I need to focus on myself right now.

MD Anderson Cancer Center reports a striking signal: mRNA COVID-19 vaccines may be associated with improved survival in cancer patients receiving checkpoint inhibitor therapy. ~2x higher 3-year survival when given within 100 days. bioengineer.org/esmo-2025-mr...

When you think about it, Triple H convinced Mal Black to try and get out of his AEW contract years earlier, which then led to Mal not wanting to do business for the rest of his time there, just so Triple H could bring him back for one year and then cut him anyway.

Is it funny that with the biggest names being announced as cut, releases fell out of the trending topics but now AEW is trending? 🙃

NEW from me: the FTC appears to be gearing up to focus on penalizing gender-affirming care for minors—and those who speak in favor of it. @wired.com www.wired.com/story/the-fe...

When will we acknowledge that most "trends" are actually "bits" and bits that all went on way too long? 😑

See the whole thread—this is a social scientist likely targeted for his expertise on Iran and opposition to the war. There is a petition and a legal defense fund in the thread.

@jillybean1217.bsky.social I was up til after 3:30am cuz I knew I had to be up at 6:30 for something so if you don't hear from me til later, that's why. It's Friday

“graduate students will be permanently barred from writing theses or dissertations centered on LGBTQ+ topics... This is the first policy at any major American university system that extends content censorship to student work itself.”

In Lebanon the journalists are being targeted by the Israelis, 8 in the past 2-3 weeks have been killed. This latest one is during a cease fire. War crimes are being committed.

THE WORD OF THE DAY TODAY IS "FORTITUDE", AS IN STRENGTH OF MIND. IN WRESTLIN' YOU GOTTA HAVE SOME SERIOUS FORTITUDE OF THE MIND! SPEAKIN' OF MINDS! WHAT IS GOIN' ON WITH LIO RUSH? HE STRAIGHT UP POSSESSED OR SOMETHIN'! BUT I KINDA WANNA WRESTLE HIM WHEN I GET BACK!

More 👏🏼 of 👏🏼 this 👏🏼

wrote about femicide, and how men murdering intimate partners is not a mental health issue, and isn't an accident or a tragedy for which no one is to blame. It's a deliberate act of political terror to enforce patriarchy. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/femicide-i...

One person owning all the wrestling is still bad, even if it's your favorite guy who owns it all. 🤼

#ForTheSickos Him and Darbz truly blew me away last night. Wild that we got that for free and I'm excited to know he wants to "fight forever" with him. To many more 🥂

ICE was here before, they are still here, they have been kidnapping and deporting your neighbors for the last 20+ years

"The media" should not be absolved of any blame here but there is also just straight up violence fatigue happening, people can only pay attention to so many tragedies at once and at a certain point one has to do psychological triage in order to keep going to work/living The fascists know this, fwiw

Comment after comment on Instagram yesterday from people who earnestly thought "ICE left Illinois." This is what happens when fascist violence intensifies, pulls back some, then leaves even more room for activity under the threshold of broadcast news media's barometer for "shocking scenes"

“Israel is attacking Lebanon’s water infrastructure, using similar tactics to its genocidal war on Gaza, uprooting local populations” — excellent reporting by @justinsalhani.bsky.social on how Israel has turned access to water into a weapon

it is important to emphasize that this was *the point*. this was *intentional*. elon musk is a vicious white supremacist who thinks poor african children ought to die, so that the world can be whiter

@jillybean1217.bsky.social it's Thursday

www.gofundme.com/f/help-zaahi... Hi yall. My friend’s son is in need of a new set of hearing aids. If you can’t donate I hope you can share. Thank you.

if you find yourself appalled that RFK Jr is able to make this claim but you don’t wear a mask in, at the very least, public indoor spaces, you are acting in precisely the way that allows him to say that covid is gone.

Though unsuccessful in his challenge for the AEW World Championship last night in Portland, the irresistible resurgence of Tommaso Ciampa remains a delight to see #aew #wrestlesky

Oh maybe I couldn't reply cuz that user saved and posted the GIF I made instead of just hitting the repost button on my post lol Le sigh. Oh well. I tried to do something nice.

For some reason I can't reply so here you go: x.com/spookyruthy/...

Would love any thoughts/opinions/knowledge on this. It's exactly the kind of question I - as someone who plays at writing - will lose, like, 36 hours of wondering and research to 😄 Who can make holy water and how? Inspired by Lio Rush vs PAC with Danny Garcia at ringside from #AEWCollision

Tommaso Ciampa did not stifle the ire of MJF but the "Psycho Killer" is locked in for his AEW World Title fight against Darby Allin as our #AEWDynamite main event is LIVE from Coast-To-Coast on TBS and HBO Max

Ciampa 😳 #AEWDynamite

My buddy @razlo.bsky.social said he had a "House of 1000 Corpses-ass face." #AEWDynamite

Hell yeah. What a match! #AEWDynamite

PROFESSIONAL. WRESTLING. #AEWDynamite

Always has been... 🤼 #AEWDynamite

gofund.me/4d1ef81fa GoFundMe to raise immigration legal fees by August for a family of 3 who have been here for 25 years

YUP! Many of my family members are doctors. The field is filled with stunted smug spoiled brats Healthcare needs to be remade from the ground up to be community owned and reward prosocial care, behaviors, and relationships And the public needs to be taught/learn more HC than we do

You can help keep Doaa's little children stay alive through Israel's genocidal siege, which has left them homeless, sick, & starving, right now by sharing & donating. They desperately need your help:
