Me and my family fled Venezuela 10 years ago. we're trying to get a stable income and housing while also pay for my animation school I sell trinkets, commissions and have a goal on my Ko-Fi page ko-fi.com/kaola_rivas

lol welp now comes the super fun part of waiting for your family to wake up to the kind of presidential strongman "dead of night disappearances" bullshit that they *left* South America to get away from ✌️

it's time to play America's favorite new game, 'what the fuck am I waking up to now'

Time to dust this one off again

when this becomes your normal discord convos with your overseas friends 🫠

it is always so much fucking dumber than you could possibly expect, even when taking into account the fact that it’s always so much fucking dumber than you could possibly expect

⬇️

You know... It's finally dawning on me why I can't get anything fucking done. In what reality does a person wake up to FUCKING BATSHIT NEWS *every* fucking morning and want to do anything but numb the hell out just to try and make it through the day. In what fucking reality.

Calling is better if you can swing it, but if you're phone shy here's a slightly augmented script I made for faxing/emailing/etc (feel free to steal in alt text). Find Your Senators: www.senate.gov/senators/sen... Find Your Representatives: www.house.gov/representati...

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.

Be like Katie, friends. Make them hear you.

OK, crash course in oil. Oil has two main gradings, viscosity (light or heavy) and sulfur (sweet or sour). A light (low viscosity) and sweet (low sulfur) oil is easier to process into gasoline and other products than a heavy and sour one, so the light & sweet oil commands a premium price.

god help me I will live to see hegseth behind bars

Its 1 am, and I just called all my representatives to impeach now. Working hours be damned. Truly tho, these calls matter. I’ve seen them work first hand. So please take some time, and call them as often as you can. It takes just 5 minutes!

Obviously, this is not Trump’s first time attacking a nation’s Capital. But he wasn’t going to kidnap himself last time—that would have been ridiculous.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

Donald Trump says the US has carried out a 'large-scale strike' against Venezuela and captured its president https://aje.io/flgaj7

2026 has been a long year.

good gods, just when you think nothing these psychopaths do can surprise you anymore . . .

If you’re celebrating an unprovoked war, then please see yourself out. This is a bookstore, we prefer things with spines here.

Bro, can we get just one weekend off

#BREAKING from me and Jennifer Jacobs - additional reporting on the strikes in Venezuela.

You can find your US reps and senators here: reps.fyi If you call now, you'll get an answering machine and you can leave a message. A great thing to do if you're nervous about talking to someone. Just give your name, your zip code, and demand they impeach Trump for illegally invading Venezuela.

All right. There's the confirmation. Call your US reps and tell them to impeach. Call your US senators and tell them to publicly support impeachment. blacksky.community/profile/did:...

Getting tons of videos from actual real human friends in Caracas reporting multiple explosions. Cant confirm exactly whats happening. Will make sure anything I do post is firsthand and not from an indirect source

At least seven explosions and low-flying aircraft were heard around 2 a.m. local time Saturday in Venezuela's capital, Caracas.

I think this administration has vastly overestimated the rest of the world's willingness to put up with imperial oil war bullshit right now. I don't think this ends well. No war.

BREAKING: Hearing reports of explosions in Caracas, Venezuela. Source with family on the ground says people advising each other to shelter in place.

PLEASE SPREAD THIS, THE US HAS STARTED BOMBING INSIDE VENEZUELA, I LIVE NEAR A MILITARY AIR BASE AND FIVE EARTH SHAKING EXPLOSIONS WERE JUST HEARD

The way the press is treating chatbots, like they have agency and they “know” things all of a sudden, crossed the line recently from dumb and obsequious to something else entirely. Treating them as alive and making conscious decisions is an almost religious belief. It won’t age well.

If you or someone you know have been a victim of the sexualized deepfakes created by Grok and would like to discuss your civil legal options, DM me or reach out on Signal at riot.95. I can connect you with excellent free legal counsel.

It's fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

STOP open a blank doc/notebook write down every single indulgent, melodramatic, cliché, "I will buy a book with this thing every time" trope that you're a sucker for guess what if you can do it well you can do it WRITE what YOU want to READ, friends eat your damn dessert

Every time people say "don't quote dunk, just subtweet", my eye twitches. Why do y'all think people read "I love pancakes" and think it means "death to waffles" other than because everyone's posting loaded messages that nobody can safely engage with bc it's secretly a subtweet that'll start WW3?

Heads up, the annual year-end free trial period for Publishers Marketplace is live. Great way to do research for those of you gearing up to query in the New Year. lunch.publishersmarketplace.com/2025/12/a-pm...

This is a quote from JA Westenberg that I heard via a video essay, titled "Bitterness as a crutch" by Mickey Galvin. Sorry I had to screengrab since it's a bit long.

You want me to look back on 2025? The thing that doomed Orpheus? The thing that turned Lot’s wife to salt?

I'm a professional demon hunter and I'm okay with that as long as I get good health insurance

i think what gets overlooked is that part of the humor and charm of edits like these is that you're perfectly aware that someone sat down and spent their own time making it. they chose to do something cool or silly or stupid or genius, regardless of the results that human element elevates the work
