I have a cold and the Rangers are losing bad and I'm mad about everything. This guy's okay, I guess.

Thank you folks who have been hitting the wishlist! Tomorrow I plan to set up another one for a second group in Minneapolis. The more stormtroopers they send to Minnesota, the more help we'll send. Because fuck those guys. 💓

Literally the first news outlet I've seen directly quoting her wife. Even the NPR piece on Renee Good that aired this morning made no mention of Becca Good whatsoever.

The video for The Perfect Drug is definitely the hottest I ever found Trent Reznor.

People keep saying they can't do anything... And I fucking WISH they were doing nothing. They could do nothing! STOP HELPING THE GOP DO SHIT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD

thank you to Jennifer for this thread. in sum: seems increasingly problematic to use the word "widow"

the spectrum of queer experience is vast and complex, and none of us know what's going on inside families that are not our own but my feed is full of media outlets describing a woman with a very-much-living-and-in-the-picture wife first and foremost as though she was a man's widow, and I just

you should absolutely read this book. masterpiece of the Rotten People In a Sinister House Keep Dying genre. and if you are REALLY unhinged like I am you should read it in bed at night. that version comes with an added audio soundtrack of your own tiny screams every time there's a noise outside

Did I... have an effect??

Please listen to this porcupine eating corn.

Man, they don't even need to be a mutual! It's just easier than "this author I follow and have had a handful of nice interactions with" 💁🏼

Renee Nicole Good

both from the aspect of "you should trust nothing in a law enforcement press release", and also "don't be a useful White Idiot who just believes what you're told by the government," and also that the goal has to be building a world where a Fred Hampton just gets to fucking play baseball

what this should make clear to everyone in this country is that it does not matter who you are, there's no "it could never happen to me" you can be a white woman who drives around with stuffed animals in her car, and they will still kill you in cold blood and call you a domestic terrorist

If you’re looking for some way to help.

one of the best responses I've ever seen to a NYT request to use a video

Confidential to hockey-sky: Eight - zero????

For me it's national parks. They rule.

people think moby dick is a stern adventure novel heavy on the plot. i can't emphasize how much it's not. it's supergay chaos with 3 plot points. there's an entire chapter that's just a chowder recipe. sometimes it turns into a play. the main character is covered in whale dinension tattoos.

Introduce yourself with the last five concerts you saw: 🍃Weedeater 🎇 Sparks ✈️🎒 We Were Promised Jetpacks 🤺 Mandy Patinkin 🐇 Frightened Rabbit 😔

oh my G O D i will read anything by Alexis Hall but holy shit this is the most Claire-coded thing I've ever seen space Moby Dick with lesbians??????????????????? by the author of a gay British romcom that opened with a Steeleye Span joke??????? I'm in, I'm seated, I'm sat

My PT, who I adore, has given me more positive and usable feedback about my body than the rest of my life combined. We're going to try some adapted squats and add in some farmers -ish carries and rear delt flies. Chris cleaned the dryer and now we're having Indian food for dinner.

My sister's pug was trying to chase a car so I grabbed a broom and chased her while making Tusken Raider noises. I slipped on a boulder in the driveway and probably couldn't have slammed my knee into it harder if I tried.

Just throwing away decades of brand equity to hype the worst major AI platform on the market.

A lot of people seem to want to rehab George W. Bush's image these days, forgetting he claimed God told him to invade Iraq. If a regular person, you or I, loudly proclaimed that God told us to kill millions of people, we'd (quite correctly) be institutionalised.

I've always held that if you cite God etc as you try to change laws, strip rights etc, you should be forced immediately to prove beyond any doubt that God (1) exists and (2) would back this. And on failing you should be removed from holding public office and banned from ever returning.

I felt up my bicep and got too excited to sleep, then Chris killed a roach in? by? the bed so goodbye forever!

I'm starting to build some muscle and having experienced both sides, it is so fucking unfair how easy testosterone makes this. I'm not even taking very much! I've already got the biggest biceps I've ever had, and I've only been going since November!!

This is the behavior that put Franco in power for *decades*. I had a Spanish history class w a Catalan teacher. She had her mother and aunt, who survived the war, come speak to us. I wish everyone could have had that bc nothing has ever made me more determined to be in solidarity, not even close

The Spanish Civil War 😔

Went to the art market at the metal venue and ran into a coworker and her wife. We ended up chatting about art and bones and Prague for awhile. They were delightful and had loads of tips.

You couldn't publish this today. You'd have to cloak it under several layers of metaphor.

We had a good run

If you can't attend a protest, I would suggest speaking to your values in whatever ways you can, and attending to something *you can do*. Remember, many things are happening at once. They want to keep your head spinning. Let purpose preempt despair.

things could be so fucking good. we have everything we need to make sure everyone's taken care of. we have resources and knowledge and time. it doesn't have to be this way

The consent manufacturing has begun.

"international law must be followed" is european for "thoughts and prayers"

I just woke up. I scrolled, I'ma call stupid fucking Ted Budd for all the good it will do, here's a cat to lower the blood pressure maybe

I can think of 535 people off the top of my head who I wish were being a little more vocal this morning about our attack on Venezuela.

I remember Iraq, I grew up on Iraq, I cannot believe we’re doing this again and this time they are more bloodthirsty, more incompetent, and less interested in even pretending to justify it more than twenty years later and somehow we went backwards

Orson turning around with that teacup and smirk made me trans.

Okay. Just my work, or do all middle-class white women use complaints as nearly the only topic of conversation?

I dreamed about a mass casualty event and trying to find my sister and do CPR on people. I'm curious if cis Americans had normal dreams...

Hi, I'm a swimming teacher who pushed a 4 year old off of a high diving board because they wouldn't do the swimming test as assigned. I might also be brakes giving out on a bike, a friend turning into oncoming traffic...we keep it spicy!

wait I didn’t know this??????? I thought it was just like “Ol’ Mississippi”???? hooooly shit I mean my best friend taught there for 10 years during the “do we take down the huge racist statue at the front gate y/n” battle so I have no illusions but I did NOT know that was the origin of the name

I like being hairy generally. Most of it is soft and reminds me of how I imagined Nightcrawler as a kid. On the other hand, this spot on my wrist wants to almost tangle and sometimes I shave my whole forearm about it.

I'm sorry to ask, but we're flat broke and our little old angel cat needs medical attention. Id be'd be grateful for any help.
