mom come get me the world is being callous toward my tender heart

the sun is SHINING maybe I should start SEVERAL PROJECTS

a very happy Bad Bunny big concert day to all who celebrate

just had the sick realization that one day we might romanticize the nostalgia of text messages and DMs the way we do now with written letters, because AI threatens to damage our ability to communicate so deeply that texting “hey grl u up” could become a lost art

No one in your life will ever be meaner to you than a middle schooler who wants your help with their homework after 10pm

It’s frankly insulting that the worlds worst people weren’t meeting in a command center in a volcano wearing ceremonial robes but were all emailing on Hotmail accounts like “want 2 atrosity? With wemen?”

craziest part about life in my opinion is all the things that happen

the feminine urge to go covert detective mode on a cheater, as if stealing the truth could erase the lie

Imagine prompting AI for an image when you could spend 5 minutes of your life pouring your heart into a stupid visual joke, hoping to make your friend lol and shake their head at how stupid you are. I feel so sad for these people.

Local politics is where it’s at! I once asked a friend of mine who used to lobby for Planned Parenthood how to avoid despair and what regular people can do to help and her answer was “local elections.” It’s where change starts and where you can actually see the results of your effort.

It’s very difficult—as a person who LOVES discourse, and ideas and ruminating and debate and making righteous statements—to accept that social media uses The Discourse as bait to trap me in an unproductive doom spiral for the benefit of shareholders.

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

One very cool part of parenting that isn’t mentioned enough is that SOMETIMES (not most of the time but occasionally) your kid makes a friend who is such a great kid that when you meet their parents YOU become friends from the foundation of mutual respect for the wonderful people you’re raising.

Being right wing relies heavily on the myth that bad things only happen to bad people. Where someone experiences hardship that might trigger sympathy, questioning of the system, or discomfort at disparities in circumstance—the conservative ethos others that person with reasons it couldn’t be you. 🧵

a thing about me is that if I stop cultivating whimsy and beauty around me I die

one problem with learning is it will make you so angry at how stupid everything is

MAGA celebrities are so funny to me. Like, okay, you can have them?

Feeling deeply sad for all the journalists who will now spend the holidays pouring over the Epstein files for more evidence of what everyone already knows

It costs about $8 less to fill my gas tank lately, which really helps offset the $100 increase in my weekly grocery bill. I’m glad we abandoned green energy and started a war with Venezuela for this.

the feminine urge to eat hot chip and lie

If you are trans or gender non-conforming in whatever way, I want you to know I see you and your well-being matters. You are valid and you are worthy of medical care, investment, safety and love. It’s really painful to hear powerful people spew unchecked hate but they do not speak for all of us.

hi what was your favorite book you read this year, please?

you will be visited by three spirits

accidentally hit em with the Kevin James

I read that whole “it sucks to be a millennial white man thanks to DEI” piece and have some thoughts. Overall: how sad to put that much work into making a case to be resentful, and a bad case at that. (Thread)

Is this a government psyop to trick consumers into believing it’s financially plausible to consume five dozen eggs a day in the Trump economy

Jesus Christ of course we’re giving Gaston apologists a platform now

I read the entire article and what makes me really furious about this is that he doesn’t mention what’s happened to the “DEI hires.” He writes about new media lacking opportunity for white males as if he and his white peers are the only people in media whose careers aren’t taking off as expected.

2026 is going to be my year lol lmao

Wait a man and his wife were murdered in their home and Trump is suggesting it was a revenge kill for criticizing him? I really… how… what the… but after Ch— you know what just forget it

I can’t recommend Means Morning News with @samsacks.bsky.social on @means.tv enough! As summative news programs go, their contextual clarity and accurate coverage of this administration’s chaos is unrivaled. If you’re sick of sifting through layers of bullshit in mainstream coverage, give it a try.

bro a gallon of organic milk is $10 at Walmart what the hell is going on

One thing I’m sure of deep in my bones is that men should not be making women. Men should not be designing women and men shouldn’t be storing women anywhere.

After my boyfriend got the Christmas tree out of the garage rafters I made him set it up in a grove of trees so we could “choose it” and mime sawing it down before bringing it inside.

me when there’s a fly in the house

being unemployed would actually be so cool if not for the constant fear of imminent doom

Unfortunately if you bring your boyfriend candy as a special surprise treat and he doesn’t even touch it within three days, you’re allowed — nay, obligated — to eat it. Sorry, I don’t make the rules!

say what you will about this administration, you gotta respect their commitment to just saying stuff

I feel like it is very hard to function on a daily basis if you think too hard about how many things in the US are completely falling apart and/or actively being destroyed right now, which is one upside to being recently laid off

Thanksgiving Day is about celebrating that she made it out of the pants

being very poor at the holidays as radical resistance. sure send me more emails throw away more targeted ad dollars on me you stupid corporations I’m not buying shit

I am seeing so many AI photos for sale on tshirts and canvas and notebooks and every time it makes me violently ill everything looks like shit please stop

trump asking zohran about universal free childcare

Eric and Don Jr. better dress warm this Thanksgiving it’s going to be chilly in Zohran’s shadow

Trump being a total prince to Mamdani is so disorienting. He was just yelling “quiet piggy” at a reporter and calling to execute members of Congress who said the military doesn’t have to obey illegal commands. His ability to be rational and likable with the flip of a switch is wild.

Ah, the hopeful joy of wearing a new shirt, and the quiet fear that it changes nothing

Every media outlet has some version of the headline “Delayed September Jobs Report Shows Better Than Expected Growth,” and so far I can’t find a single article that mentions Trump’s firing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics Commissioner in August for releasing data he didn’t like.

slut shaming is kind of like bamboo
