If the teen daughter of two A-list stars had picked a media friendly cause to advocate for, I’d imagine their would be profiles and photo shoots of her in every women/teen-aimed magazine in the country. And yet.

“We are told by leaders that we are the future. But when it comes to the ongoing pandemic, our present is being stolen right in front of our eyes.” Incredible speech by Violet Affleck who warned about the ongoing dangers of COVID & Long Covid, & advocated for masks and clean air at the UN today!

this exact dynamic - where trump says or does something awful, everyone spends days downplaying it, and then he loudly doubles down - has played out roughly 7000 times and it’s why I have exactly zero patience for anyone who tries to sanitize his nonsense

Give yourself a lovely sweet bedtime treat and read Ed and Stede fixing the teeny tiny model Revenge together 💕 archiveofourown.org/works/71253786

Amazing how "Antifa" isn't actually an organization but still designated as a "terror group," while the KKK is an actual white supremacist "christian" terrorist organization that has mass murdered thousands of Black people and some white allies for 160 years—and is still not labeled a terror group.🤔

Me, a cultural elite: I have Mickey Thomas’s version of “Dream a Little Dream” duet with Mel Tormé on vinyl from the soundtrack for the identically titled 80s film classic starring the Coreys.

I literally spent 10 min translating Lula’s speech about Palestine to English. I just need every single one of my gringo friends to listen to this man in order to maybe restore their faith in politics. This right here is a politician. This is why we voted for him. And personally, I’ll do it again.

Look I'm not the man to do this but if somebody isn't making a supercut of Rapturetok influencers realizing they have to remain on this dogshit planet right now then I don't even know why I have a computer anymore.

I'm telling you that that world doesn't exist. Either we're all safe, or none of us are safe. Kimmel and Colbert and jokes cannot save you from what's coming. You need the people that you won't fight for, to fight for you. But one-way solidarity ain't it.

You want to live in a world where Bill Maher and Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and Matt Parker and Trey Stone are inside the line that must be protected at all costs... but Black journalists and academics and professionals are outside of the castle walls, and are acceptable losses in a siege.

Y'all fight for comedians. Which is why you don't have Black journalists to oppose Trump, but you do have famed resistance leaders *check notes* Matt Parker and Trey Stone.🤷🏿‍♂️ Kimmel is interviewing Gavin Newsom in his return. His podcast guests were the dudes that got the Black journalists fired.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

NYC TONIGHT TONIGHT TONIGHT No list no cover* all celebration!! Come to Club Cumming at 8pm to have a blast with us!! * (for the club, I mean. The book very much has a cover and gosh a list would be nice)

Sens. Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock are asking Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for answers after more than a dozen people died in immigration detention, as the department rushes to expand.

Every single word of Stephen Colbert’s monologue last night was hilarious— not always the case but last night was special! 📺 “Any news CBS?” youtu.be/0bBFZBO2mMo?...

"subtle"?!? To quote @madderslightly.bsky.social - have you met us? 😂

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

All the autism memes got me thinking about what a wonderful, affirming character Stede is and how amazing he really is. I love him so much.

Microdose the rapture by not returning any texts, calls, or emails tomorrow

Take your Kimmel protest energy and use it to freeze out that hateful JKR too! Maybe HP was a part of your childhood. Well now it's a slap in the face and a dagger in the back of people who just wanna live. Don't let her see a dime!

new ofmd merch still dropping in 2025

As much as anything they are EMBARRASSED right now, and the Kimmel stuff has simultaneously shown them which way the wind is blowing. And by the way, they SHOULD be embarrassed, they all crawled up that dead Nazi's asshole and it was completely fucking embarrassing.

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

I love this mutant dahlia!

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

Happy first day of autumn, crew! 🎃🍁🍂 In keeping with my weirdness, I really only drew this picture so I could make myself a sticker. And I just posted Pumpkin Spice Stede and a couple of other older stickers on Kofi, if you’re into that sort of thing 🔗⬇️ #shopofmd

If you are one of the rapture people… you should be GIVING your stuff away…. Why are you selling your stuff? You don’t need money where you are going

This is an amazing challenge! I want to jump right into the blanket fort and do a reread of Harriet the Spy. One part has been tickling my brain, about how there are as many ways to live as people in the world and you don't have to live just like your family. It's stuck with me since I was like 9.

Here's a template you can use as TBR or progress tracker. And the link to join the challenge on Storygraph: app.thestorygraph.com/reading_chal... I'll post my TBR and some recommendations later this week! Can't wait to see what y'all plan to read as well! 🏴‍☠️💜

Hi all! As promised, here are the prompts for the Our Flag Means Death reading challenge 📚🏴‍☠️ The goal is to read one book by episode. There’s three possible prompts by episodes, inspired by quotes. The challenge is not timed so everyone can go at their own pace. #OFMDReadingChallenge

I’m making a video now because I completely agree and I believe that some of this is actually about the source texts of both as religions. Disney raised its own opps narratively And Rowling her biggest enablers And it’s all in the books

Fandom family is the bright spot in a sea of horrors right now. I'm mentally hugging everyone who is trying to do every day like normal and also carry the weight of all this crap. It's exhausting. I love you. I wish I could help more. Other than fantasizing about pirate co-housing communities.

I found this birding book along the side of the road on the Tamiami trail in the Everglades on 8/25/25. It is so well loved with sightings going back decades. If you're a birder (I am not) please spread the word and hep me find the owner so they can be reunited

i'm sorry i'm so sorry

I'm not even trying to be a snob, I just genuinely don't know what any of us think "normal" looks like anymore. The Biden years were an attempt at a low-key restoration of normal, they failed in no small part because we didn't need "normal," what we needed was an extraordinary response to Jan 6.

I don't think "normal" is really a useful point of reference anymore. There's no "normal" to be had or restored. The closest thing to a last real "normal" we had was 2015, and COVID closed the door to restoration.

Larry Ellison, founder of Oracle, is a right wing tech oligarch who now controls Paramount, which includes CBS. He's rumoured to be attempting to acquire Warner Brothers. The Whitehouse also arranged for him to acquire TikTok US. If you think the media & info environment in the US is bad now...

Pirates, there’s an opportunity to help Zohran that’s a gentle on-ramp for volunteering! They’ve created phone banks specifically to contact confirmed supporters & sign them up to canvass. No cold calls, no meanies - just a simple script & an easy-to-use app. Call from anywhere in the US 🏴‍☠️💕

If you want to cancel Disney, but are reluctant to do so because your kids like to watch one or more of its shows, then this is an opportunity for you to step up and be a good parent. Explain to them why you are cancelling it. Teach them about doing the right thing. Kids are smarter than you think.

DO NOT participate in #blueskyblackout2025 I'm nsfw artist and other nsfw artists are asking you to SHOUT! Bsky wants to censor us so the worst thing we can do is censor ourselves! Publicly shame them, use the feedback button, and post about it using the tag #bskycensorship Silence is compliance!
