A few years ago, the bestie (@lightlyredacted.bsky.social) & I had a blog we worked on together. We came up with the name because we'd been described by some people as "The Loud Girls." (There's much more to it than that, but ya know, brevity.) I don't think I've ever worn a moniker so proudly.

Post something random or have an awful October. (Never underestimate your party tit)

"It will become ordinary." ‐Margaret Atwood (@margaretatwood.bsky.social), The Handmaid's Tale That's the scariest part. Not that the shit is terrifying right now, but that it's less terrifying than it used to be, & is less scary with each passing day. It's a very effective weapon of theirs.

Y'all remember when the conversation around Project 2025 started to gain momentum in the public conversation? Y'all remember when Donald Trump - multiple times, btw - swore he didn't know anything or anyone involved with Project 2025? As surprising as it is to hear, Donald Trump was lying. [Gasp!]

The evil that men do lives after them

qtp with an album{s} you’d rate a perfect 10/10 ~ 🖤🎶 (It's too hard to choose just one. Lol. And my feelings on stuff like this can change from day to day. But on this day? I think I chose correctly.) In no particular order...

Random inconsequential things that annoy me # 576: The plural of "mongoose" is "mongooses" not "mongeese"

Live your life such that everyone doesn’t spend ten solid years planning the rager they’re going to throw when you die.

My bestie, @lightlyredacted.bsky.social, is seriously one of the most beautiful, amazing human beings to have ever walked the Earth. I feel like she isn't told often enough just how wonderful she truly is. There isn't enough character space to make this just one post, so a thread it shall be. 1/4

I often refer back to Lauren Herschel's "Ball In the Box Analogy" for helping people to understand the way grief works, over time. It's quite accurate, and explains the process of why "time heals all wounds" isn't exactly true, but why we think it is.

"The test of our fidelity to our Constitution, to freedom of speech, to our Bill of Rights, is not when it’s easy, but when it’s hard." -Barack Obama

Type O Negative sounds like Faith No More writing a suicide note.

Today is International Lefthanders Day. That ain't right.

I was looking for an article about the laziness myth, in which disabled people feel "lazy" or burdensome. The first auto-populated option literally elicited an audible gasp. I don't know what to say about this... "Why do disabled people exist" Are you fucking kidding me?!

Did my nails today! I love, love, LOVE the delicate daisies, ladybugs, and the gorgeous deep green. 😍😍 (Mine are actually really short due to breaks, so these are glue-on. Not my nail art, either, but I wish I could do this!)

I can't help it 🤷🏻‍♀️

Wake up, wake up, wake up - it's the first of the month! Good morning! Let's start this month off with a whole vibe. 😉

Me, welcoming all my new followers

Why are priests from Finland so good at Mortal Kombat? Because they're well-versed in Finnish hymns. 😉

One day, everything in your life makes sense, and then you remember that Alanis Morissette sang "You Oughta Know"...about Dave fucking Coulier. 😳

If you see this, quote this post with a time travel movie that's not BACK TO THE FUTURE 🎥

As soon as I heard Ghislaine Maxwell's offer to start spilling the beans, I'm suspicious. She's been in prison all this time & hasn't said word one. This involves the New York Post: right-wing, borderline tabloid. Not a reliable source. Oh, and it's owned by Rupert Murdoch. Shady af. 1/6

If you'd like to see for yourself all publicly available documentation surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's case/file, here it is, all in one place. You don't have to rely on others to tell you what documents are out there. And here, you won't run the risk of the fakes people love to share online.

I know I'm horrible about posting here, y'all, and I'm trying to do better. Luckily, I can now get notifications when specific people post, which will help remind me! 🤞🏻 All that said, good morning! Random memes, because I'm having an ADHD-heavy morning. 😂

@feministajones.com shared this fantastic resource: New York Public Library's Essential Reads on Feminism: 127 books to help you "Explore feminism and its history in this list of essential reads for adults, teens, and kids." How many have you read? (PS - Feminista Jones has a book on this list!)

Actual picture of me irl

In lieu of watching Trump's masturbatory parade spectacle, @comfortscientist.bsky.social and I are getting caught up on The Righteous Gemstones. We'd only watched the first three episodes of this season! And hey, at least these narcissistic jackasses are funny. 😂

The Tesla Cyber Truck looks like The Luxor casino’s emo son.

My god. 😞 Minn. state Dem. party leader, Rep. Melissa Hortman, & her spouse were killed at their home this morning by a gunman impersonating a cop. Dem. State Sen. John Hoffman & his spouse were shot overnight. They're alive, but in critical condition. Suspect is at large. 1/3 (Free 🎁 article)

LMFAO one of the funniest things about the Trump vs Musk beef is watching manosphere influencers try to put a "masculine" spin on two fucking man-babies. It's hilariously pathetic. 😂 I promise, you'll be glad to have stumbled across this thread tonight. 1/3

So, I heard Steve Bannon's saying Elon Musk is an "illegal alien," and should be deported. @impossiblybossy.bsky.social said “I guess Trump got Steve in the divorce?”

Interrupting your doom scroll with an impossibly adorable Huggies ad. 🥹🥹 THOSE LITTLE SLAPPY, STOMPY FEEEEETSSSSS 😭😭😭😭 You're welcome. 😊🫶🏻

Did you know...theres a font - Ugly Gerry - designed to resemble the shapes of US congressional districts that have been gerrymandered all to hell? "Ugly Gerry has been called 'the world's most revolting font'" 1/2

"I don’t know how to warn a world that doesn’t want to listen." @margaretatwood.bsky.social has said many times in the 40 years since writing The Handmaid's Tale that every single thing that happened in her novel, The Handmaid's Tale, has already happened somewhere in the world, including the US.

Internet's down for maintenance, so I have an "excuse" (😉) to dive into a book! I've read this one before (Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler), but it's been awhile, With so many seemingly prophetic aspects of this book being played out before our eyes, now seems a good time to dive in. 1/2

Radiohead’s discography is the soundtrack of dystopia.

Jeff Bezos pumps millions into Trump’s campaign, and doesn’t allow his media conglomerate to be the least bit critical of Trump. But when the tariffs TRUMP put into effect causes the prices of products sold by his company to significantly increase…

Idk about y'all, but I'm a pretty hardcore risk taker. I live life on the edge. An adrenaline junkie, you might say. The other day...y'all...I ate a Popeye's biscuit....and I didn't grab a drink beforehand! WHEW. Even just thinking about it gives me goosebumps all over again.

So-called "transvestigators" claiming they "can always tell" are just so fucking goofy. 🙄 Like, just admit that the combination of your insecurities, your hateful heart, and your transphobia have you out here acting a damn fool on this internet.

This @washingtonpost.com crossword clue made me chuckle. Y'all, corny jokes are amazing 😂

US Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) traveled to El Salvador to meet with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, and after some initial hurdles, was able to do so. Van Hollen posted to social media confirming this visit. He didn't, however, provide any updates on the status of Abrego Garcia. 1/2

RFK Jr's takes on autism aren't just shitty takes. It's eugenics. Let's find out what happens when people stop being polite…and start getting real.

There's been a lot of conversation about the CECOT prison in El Salvador, with people Trump's deported (sans due process). I found this hour-long documentary, filmed several months ago. It's eye-opening. Obvious content warning.

Did you know.... According to the White House's, "Defending Women From Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth To the Federal Government," that Donald Trunp has declared all human beings to be female? Seriously. This isn't a joke. This is evidence-based fact. Keep reading. 1/7

I saw an interaction on another social media site that was unnecessarily rude. OP was looking for personal experiences others have had with a medical device, & someone replied in a rude, dismissive way. The details don't matter; the post was not at all political, divisive, or controversial. 1/2

Occasionally, I like to revisit what Lindsey Graham said of Trump. "Trump's a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot. He doesn't represent my party. He doesn't represent the values that the men and women who wear the uniform are fighting for." -Sen. Lindsey Graham, 2015 CNN interview 1/2

"Multiple pastors tell me ... about quoting the Sermon on the Mount ... 'turn the other cheek' ... have someone come up after to say, 'Where did you get those liberal talking points?'" The pastor would say they're quoting Jesus, the response: "... that doesn't work anymore. That's weak."
