"Happiness" (Solondz, 1998)

weeeeeep

just listen to yourselves. “we must spread lies about trans kids to win against the most unpopular president in literal history.” it’s shameful

the president is bored with his war

“At home, I picked up a novel and crawled into bed. Three hours later, I stood up, astonished at how words on a page could make me fall in love with the world again.” @kathleenicanrah.bsky.social ❤️

“My hypothesis is that women will use AI to do more work. Men will use AI to get out of doing more work. And, every argument that is not dealing with the preconditions of this gendered inequality is not thinking seriously about AI” @tressiemcphd.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/lost...

Mackenzie Scott posts lists of her donations for transparency and to encourage others to give, and then she disappears for months at a time.

GOOD

every time a customer tells me they’re “never coming back” when i’m just a minimum wage worker following policy

a very special one 🥹♥️

Hunger Games-ass government

Someday, with luck and hard work, she will have a name too.

I genuinely believe that people don't appreciate just how much of all the bad vibes right now are still largely a COVID hangover. It was a profoundly traumatizing event for American society, on the order of the civil war or the great depression and we've largely decided to just pretend

AGREE

Pope Leo XIV carried the cross across all fourteen stations for over an hour. The prayers named children who had been “taken away and imprisoned during protests, deported by policies devoid of compassion, shipwrecked on desperate journeys of hope, killed in war zones, and wiped out in death camps.”

Mentally where I’m at

Bannon asked crowd at CPAC about higher gas prices in support of Trump's Iran war., "Let me see a show of hands. The American citizens here, the MAGA patriots, are you prepared to bear a little pain to get this problem solved?" Four people raised their hands as the crowd reacted with near silence.

i said last year that these people were segregationists and that “merit” just meant “white and male” to these people

Everything is so stupid and there will come a day when folks look back on the persecution of trans folks with the same moral disgust as other crimes against humanity. No one needs protection from trans women. We all need protection, tho, from violent hateful bigots. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/w...

Hegseth: "We will keep pushing, keep advancing. No quarter, no mercy for our enemies." No quarter is the refusal to take prisoners and instead just execute everyone. It's been considered a war crime for over a century.

We're so dedicated to the norm of "even handed" coverage of the parties that media outlets have to create a version of Trump that doesn't exist in reality to uphold the norm, because directly quoting him makes him look like a lunatic.

Yesssssss

Part of the deal involves using some of the $$ to pay for universal free school meals. That is a good start and many of us have argued for weeks now that linking revenue to K-12 makes this more likely to pass. Now #waleg needs to make firm commitments to spend more of it on K-12 operations.

Twelfth Night 😭😍😭♥️

I visited the Chernobyl nuclear power plant after the disaster, while it was still in operation

Roses are red Tulips are bright

He demanded that she send him nude pictures and bullied her into a relationship. This is called sexual harassment. It was not “an affair”. RESIGN NOW.

Democrats in #waleg would have a much easier time moving this bill and rallying strong public support for it if they tied much of its revenue to K-12 public education, as similar taxes on the rich did in CA, MA, and AZ. But they bizarrely refuse to.

We are calling it the Epstein War, yes?

Letz go even bigger and better,,, ALL Female US Olympians and Paralympian medalists are invited out to celebrate in Viva Las Vegas for the SHE GOT GAME Weekend ,,, Hit a guy up and LETZ GOOO

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

honestly seattle zootunes lineup is SO SO SO GOOD, yes this makes me feel 100 years old

To go dark-ish myself, one of the hardest laughs I had while my step-father was in hospice, was he asked my mom and I to get in touch with two specific people they'd fallen out with. Why? He wanted to tell them to fuck themselves. 😂

a fucking pedophile sexually abused nearly every prospective and actual Olympian gymnast for over two decades, and the political discourse is hyper-fixated on the hypothetical unfairness of trans girls competing with cis girls

Final votes are taken, the Millionaires Tax passes the #WAleg Senate 27-22! 🥳 This is a historic victory for working people and our kids in Washington! We're one step closer to rebalancing WA's upside-down tax code off our backs. Next stop: the House!

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
