Y'all recovery from this hip-waist surgery is killing me. Like, ya girl is gonna be frighteningly snatched with deadly cake, but I'm so damn tired of this corset 24/7

I think it's very bad that there is no social stigma attached to things like tailgating. Like, if I walked right behind you on a sidewalk occasionally waving a bat you'd think I was an absolutely unhinged person.

People regularly attempt to murder people with a dangerous weapon and because it's a car it's framed as impatience or annoyance, instead of the deeply dangerous, violent behavior that it is.

Sucking the dick through a cardboard tube so it sounds all echoey

this shit is so stupid istg

you are not unc if you're in your 30s. you're unc if you are a black man that dresses like this.

Regular reminder that the literal 1st full conversation in ALIEN is a contract negotiation, & that everything that goes wrong throughout those movies happens because the Weyland-Yutani Corporation programmed all of its "AI" systems to put any possibility of profit over & above the lives of the crew.

Alien 1 is about how your employer will sacrifice you for profit. Alien 2 is about how your country will sacrifice their soldiers for company profit. Alien 3 is about how the prison complex is also a disposable-human profiteering operation. Alien 4 is about for-profit healthcare.

Freshly back from @clawinfo.org and my social habits are completely rewritten. Coworker, leaving for the day: "Bye y'all!" Me, reflexively: *barks and waves bye with a closed paw* fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck

Just so we're clear about this, conservatives intentionally appoint women to do their dirtiest work to stoke misogyny so that female liberal candidates have more of an uphill battle. Brit conservatives did it with Thatcher. Here and now it's Bondi, Noem, and soon to be Melania via epstein.

The Christian right laid their plans bare in black and white, they had huge conferences where they talked about their plans to push the anti-trans angle in order to break up "the alphabet soup" and roll back hard won civil rights, they published these plans proudly, and we tried to warn you!

I think back in like 2018/19 maybe even earlier on Twitter, Casey said Trans Women were sick of being Cassandras, so just listen to them next time they sound the alarm & that really stuck with me. Trans People's warnings haven't been wrong & they shouldn't be used as canaries for rising hate.

You gotta tip your bootblack so your bootblack can tip a drag king 💜

Body-feminizing surgeon just called to say my proportions are already too fishy and insurance might not cover me so we're having to fudge where we're taking my hip-waist ration measurements at. Ya girl is gonna be an absolute weapon this fall 💃🏻

I really believe this is why people hold onto HP & Rowling so violently. They got to read One Book ☝️in the span of a lifetime of borderline illiteracy, and for that one shining moment they felt smart. And you can't convince someone that the smartest they ever felt was a bad thing.

When Harry Potter was new, concerned librarians and educators brought up that kids were ONLY reading that series and nothing else. They were immediately shouted down. How dare they? The kids are READING! Other books will come along! Nearly three decades later…

Restocking for @clawinfo.org, My favorite thing about Bick 4 leather conditioner isn't the incredible versatility across different types of leather, or its ability to condition leather without darkening its color My favorite thing about Bick 4 leather conditioner is that it looks and feels like cum

genAI use isn’t a search for knowledge. It’s a plagiarism machine for amateurs and lazy people.

I'm officially getting grey hairs (plural)

The Netanyahu government has made a very clear choice to treat American antisemites as their partners and American leftist Jews as their enemies, which ought to tell these people something...

The natural consequence of Reagan ending Carter's renewable energy program is that the USA would be left more vulnerable to supply line shocks and yet...

I have a frameshift mutation joke, but oy fprdm:y zslr drmdr

In hindsight the "Pluto is a planet" backlash was important because it showed a lot of people get mad when they learn that science adjusts to new information, and they go ballistic if that was stuff they learned as kids at a level for kids. That is a core part of transphobia and anti-vax thought.

Shout out to all the guys with charts who told me there was no way we were undercounting while I watched nursing homes and hospitals refuse to test and send my friends’ elderly relatives home to die of “respiratory illness” to keep their official numbers down.

It would be harder to normalize genocide if people didn’t prioritize civility over not having a genocide.

'including baroness falkner' who spent the last 5 years absolutely destroying trans rights in the name of 'protecting women'. transphobes are anti-women. transphobes are anti-feminist. transphobes are misogynists.

far be it from a changeling daughter of Éire , cast adrift in far lands by diaspora , to discourage communing with spirits. i embrace this & other hedge craft , while spitting on Pádraig the pretender & preparing my hearth for the vernal equinox’s approach.

Learn the difference, it could save your life! Accept no substitutions for Irish liberation!!
