So you’re saying there might be a problem with a guy who went public with a college girl rating site and then later facilitated a genocide in Myanmar?

I don’t think there is any reason for this company to exist.

With alt text, for those of us with disabilities, and also those trying to read this on their phones: Please like this reply to make it come near the top, but don't follow me for it, that's not what I'm trying to achieve.

Thanks, John. Should have thought of that: bookshop.org/p/books/char...

In response to the folks who replied to that post about the rising costs of groceries by saying shit like "just cut out chips and candy," I have the following to say: Go fuck yourself. For a more thorough response, see below.

So, if your immediate response to someone complaining about the material conditions of their lives is to tell them to eliminate a luxury or a small pleasure, you might consider shutting the fuck up and taking a hard look at your values. Alternatively, you could fuck off into the sun. Either works.

My daughter brought back a little leaf hat for Cocoa 😂

come on come on now

I wanted to be an oil painter since I was a small child. All of the art I've ever done has been study for this moment. I have painted my first oil painting.

Mom cat leaving her human to babysit so she can sleep 😴😂😂 Drop a follow

"$10M FDIC insurance coverage" uh no, not how that works lol. wouldn't touch this shit with a 10ft pole

Tonight on - Let's see how gullible some ppl really are:

We're thrilled to present the shortlist for the 2026 Ursula K. Le Guin Prize for Fiction:

We know Elon is able to post from his mom's account. So he generated AI pics of himself having a loving birthday with his family, and then posted it from his mother's account to make it look like she took photos. Amazing, he's the most unloved man on the planet.

there may very well be an explanation for his absence that engenders sympathy and understanding but it should also not be completely forgotten that his only communication during the absence was not to his constituents but to his stock broker

A historical marker went up in Virginia to mark 4,000 cyclists who rode coast-to-coast in 1976 to celebrate America's Bicentennial. To put it in perspective, that's about 3,000 or so more people than showed for the Great American State Fair wfirnews.com/news/botetou...

First he throws trans people under the bus and polishes Charlie Kirk's shoes with his tongue while pursuing a mythical right wing voter just gagging to vote for the governor of California, and now... Whatever this is. He's addicted to shooting himself in the dick with the base.

When the selkie returned to the beach, a man was holding her sealskin. "Is this yours?" he asked. "May I borrow it?" "You want to be a seal?" "No, but when I take it off, I'll be a woman, right?" "My heart, you already are," the selkie said. "That skin is mine, but I can help you find yours."

how it started/how it's going look out @romancingthevote.com because the Tudor Horse Man Show showrunner sent me a one-of-a-kind book full of her personal behind-the-scenes shot of the cast & crew on set, and one lucky winner is going to run away with this unbelievable prize. 😍

This is absolute nonsense. I was an insurance agent for five years. It is not unusual for people to not use their health insurance. Also, the ACA isn't free. If people aren't using it, THEY are still paying for it. This man is a nitwit.

It's that time of year when we have to tell people to not hold lit fireworks.

Friend, to a firework, your hands are the same. To a firework, your hands are bones and gelatin to be ripped through with incredible ease. Don't hold that lit firework, friend. Lite it safely and follow the manufacturer's instructions. That's how you have a safe and happy 4th.

I didn’t get a beadwork drop done in time for Pride this year but I did toss some custom earrings (or a pin) into the @romancingthevote.com auction! I never do commissions so this might be your only chance to pick a state: www.32auctions.com/organization...

the most relatable Austen heroine is chaotic goth weirdo Catherine Morland who reads so many trashy horror novels that she scares herself into imagining they’re real, and it’s simply unacceptable that we haven’t gotten a modern take where she’s like a true crime podcast or vampire fanfic girlie

I realize this is unfortunately not the norm for too many cishet white dudes but social media absolutely let me learn about so many progressive things I’d never have gotten exposed to otherwise, especially the lived experiences of people different from myself

Having social media access made growing up gay 1 million times easier (I don’t think I would even know I was gay as a teen if it weren’t for social media), but it also made growing up progressive and informed possible. Social media was where I learned about abortion rights, for starters

“Yes, but he cud never beat me at dis!”

When we said READ THE ROOM we didn't mean "Read it to find the worst idea that would make sure no one rational would support you and then DO THAT THING" you chucklefucks, you complete and utter trash popsicles, you absolute macaroni and dickcheese motherfuckers.

NEW: Meta paid hundreds of contractors to pretend they were kids—and then prompt rival chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT to talk about subjects like suicide, sex, eating disorders, and self-harm. From @dmehro.bsky.social and @joelkhalili.bsky.social

Pixar make this buddy movie

DAR: gives out an award for the best US history student at each of the high schools in the city of Hampton including one very progressive little Black girl [Decades pass] DAR: "trans rights are human rights" I'm not saying I *caused* this to happen but...

Clarence Thomas was 100% telling Mike Johnson what tomorrow's huge rulings are so they can spend the night crafting language, scheduling talk show appearances, and making battle plans. Tomorrow is likely to be an ugly, and maybe even dark fucking day for America.

We have a veterinary emergency and I need your help. Catherine O’Hara’s right eye filled with blood ystdy. There’s too much blood. We can’t see what is going on. Tmrw am she sees the Eye Specialist in Salt Lake City Utah. You can help me help COH with a donation or a share: theherdhouse.com

I went to see it with my own eyes. Dean Cain and Dr Oz were telling about a dozen people, “I don’t know why they keep saying no one is here.”

At the human level, the World Cup is beautiful snackstack.net/2026/06/29/t...

My 2026 has been a divorce-shaped Stygian nightmare of housing insecurity, drifting between Airbnbs, couchsurfing + housesitting. But the goddess just blessed me with my own tiny apartment! I need to move/furnish it for myself + kid almost from scratch: a humble call for help if you can to do so!

already mad at everyone who is going to ignore the horrible things the Supreme Court is going to do to trans rights tomorrow in order to praise their “moderation” for not overruling the 14th amendment by fiat

I'm calling it: the great american state fair is worse than the glasgow willy wonka experience

““Some have asked if this means a transgender woman can join DAR or if this means that DAR chapters have previously welcomed transgender women,” Pamela Rouse Wright, President of the DAR, wrote in a newsletter on the bylaws. “The answer to both questions is, yes.””

This is seriously surprising. It’s wonderful but I’m legit blown away by this. Good for them for taking a stand for all women. I hope they have protection because they just put a target on their org. Maga isn’t going to like this.

even if it was good policy, this shit is completely ancillary to the goal of actually limiting the power of big tech. Elon Musk has a trillion dollars and is trying to start a global race war, your response to that can’t be “kids should be on their phones less”

Just a little taste:

last time something like this made it to senate (KOSA), it passed 91-3. no votes on that one were: wyden (D-OR): listened to at risk people about how it would harm them lee (R-UT): didn’t think it did enough to harm queers paul (R-KY): libertarian stuff you should call your senators: reps.fyi

Hey y'all wanna see a murder done with cell phone cinematography

GOOD NEWS! A personalized mRNA vaccine, known as mRNA-4157, has shown promise in keeping melanoma, a deadly skin cancer, from returning. FIVE years later, NEARLY 70% of people in the vaccine group are CANCER-FREE. The vaccine also cut a person’s risk of the cancer metastasizing by NEARLY 60%.

they ran the social contract through a shredder. whatever society we piece together from what is left has to have incredible disincentives for getting near the shredder again.

Also here are further pics of past pieces I have done since I was on my computer when I filled out the auction form so I had a very limited selection.

Never imagined I would be saying this: but My book is coming out in June and you can now preorder it wherever you buy books! This was a project I could never have dreamed of and I feel wildly lucky to have done it. Turns out there might be a lot to learn about our country from my hometown

And most of all: we are going to have to make a few radical changes to how things are structured. Not necessarily because those few radical changes are technically necessary, but because we need something to jumpstart the concept of believing that governance exists again.
