Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Me complaining to my partner in the living room after getting out of my warm, cozy bed: “Ooh it’s so cold in h—wait, it’s 74 degrees in the house, it’s not cold, I don’t know what I’m talking about.” *proceeds to get back under more blankets*

???????? Read the room challenge: Impossible.

you can either believe it matters that the right is systematically dismantling the education system, tearing down the fourth estate, censoring academia, and flooding the zone with disinformation or you can believe the average voter is just a dumbass for not knowing what you know you can't do both

Macbeth: SHIT

So uh Ring just up and said they've got a huge centralized private surveillance network they can leverage all at once huh

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

IN CONTRAST TO a first date I went on last night, and I half apologized for the calendar tetris I’m doing and they said: “I can wait as long as I need, I just also want to see more of you. From my perspective our date was lovely and I want to learn more about you.”

People on dating apps who insist on drinks immediately to “not be pen pals” and men who are frustrated we haven’t slept together yet when we’ve only spent 4 real life hours together… shows me they don’t want to know the real me or want to make sure I feel safe and comfortable to be vulnerable.

One thing about me is I detest being rushed in connection.

but it really can't be overstated how fucking pathetic and transparent this is the most powerful people in the world have become the most insecure crybabies at the slightest resistance because giving a shit about the powerless is just that threatening to them so keep caring about others

They’re killing observers because they are threatened by them. the work these people are doing is profoundly brave. They’re all heroes.

A quick way to catch a block from me is to tell me to smile. "I saw a lot of your photos and I prefer when you smile." I literally don't care. Don't tell women what to do with their bodies. Hope this helps!

I’m coming to the cottage.

the next time anyone says to you that Democrats in Congress don't have any power and can't do anything remind them that if these seven Democrats didn't vote with Republicans to fund ICE ICE would not get funding

SIGH.

Phyrexian Token ! New drop available only on my Ptreon ! More info in comment :)

I don’t know you can watch the videos of people screaming at the top of their lungs for their neighbors to shut their doors and say inside because 🧊 is in their neighborhood and not burst into tears.

I’m three minutes into episode six and I’m already crying. 😭

Hey, I know a lot of you use Discord. You need to get on this survey and make it damn clear to them that this would be the absolute wrong direction. The last thing we need is the slop-spewing environment-chewing plagiarism bots invading there, too. discord.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...?

it's telling that actual sex workers—eager to show off their naked bodies on the internet, often for free with only polite requests for financial support—are subjected to endless abuse by the very same weirdos who will generate non-consensual images of women who refuse to be sexual objects for them

I am BEGGING male authors to use something other than fridging the beautiful wife as motivation for their protagonists.

Truly delusional behavior that involves OUR TAX INFORMATION ARE YOU KIDDING ME

Yesterday I got to episode 5 and I was crying and kicking my feet!!!

The look for a first date last night. 🥰

man i just don't fucking know anymore

Long distance polyamory is weird because while on trips you’ll experience things like feeling homesick while also desperately not wanting to leave.

I maintain that empathy and nuance in 2026 is still radical and wildly necessary.

First nap of 2026 is complete. 😌

Happy New Year, friends! May you find safety and affection this year. 🙏🏻

Well… between my Christmas presents from Chris and @tamirthepunner.bsky.social looks like I’ve got an army in progress to play at @cmdrsealed.bsky.social next year. 🥰

Spike Lee was talking a phone call and pacing around a few empty gates past me at the airport.

The movie also made a false dichotomy by forcing a choice between an ex who has not changed a single thing or grow in five years and is broke, or a super rich dude who doesn’t love you. These are not your only choices!(!!!)

I watched Materialists last night and it was… not good. The tone was the first thing I noticed: This movie was billed as a romcom, but ends up feeling somewhere between a badly-done black comedy and just completely flat. Also the actors had WAY more chemistry on their press tour than on camera.

As a treat.

Watching the first episode of Heated Rivalry. Anyway… boys kissing. 👀

Nothing like a little mutual hate on billionaires with your Lyft driver to start your day. 😌

Some of you have forgotten that only three years ago you were perfectly capable of writing a text, writing an email, telling a bedtime story to a child, and it should worry you that powerful companies have convinced us we can’t do things we’ve been doing since the dawn of time.

I couldn’t pick a single favorite selfie of 2025. 😩

I think the Democratic establishment severely underestimates the extent to which the younger half of the electorate would cheerfully send Bill Clinton to Gitmo ourselves

"i only use AI to come up with ideas" dude come on that's literally the easiest and most fun part. why would you even WANT to not do that part

I’m just more and more convinced that ChatGPT is popular because people don’t want to do the work to actually communicate with people. It’s easier to be like “It always says ‘Nice catch’ and never gets mad when I ask it to repeat” than to listen or adjust your behavior with people around you!

“My Secret Santa” is a fun, silly little movie if you like movies that are trope-y as hell and have characters that are actually older than 25. Even more fun if you treat it as if everyone is having some bisexual awakenings (the way the MMC gazes into Santa’s eyes!!!!).

My partner has gently informed me that trying to figure out why the 11 hours of sleep + nap yesterday didn’t magically fix my energy levels is maybe not useful. Instead, it’s okay to feel my feelings and to just be tired sometimes. How dare he be so wise and understanding. 😠🥺

I struggle with accidentally scheduling too much, especially when most (or all) of my week is seeing my partners and closest friends. The other variable is sometimes I have a week with 20+ meetings and it wrecks how much energy I have.

There are two phases to evening when darkness comes so early during this time of year. The first is: it’s a MILLION o’clock, it’s so late, I can’t go anywhere, I can’t believe the day is over. Then the rational brain says no, it’s still early. Then the second phase: Time has no meaning. 🥲

Because I wanted Google Calendar to be a hobby.

More photos from last night. 🥰

Went to a femmes only Christmas masquerade and there was a mystery ornament exchange and I got the best ornament.

“do it for the plot” i say as i continue to be a menace only to myself
