victor frankenstein rifling through a barrel of dicks looking for one thats just right

ah well at at least journalism is a famously well-paid and stable profession

I think that many do not realize that when people say they will die without the ACA, they are not exaggerating or being dramatic. I take medication daily because without it my body does not recognize when to stop bleeding. So I take medication to "trick" my uterus into thinking I am pregnant.

Just a head's up: subs to @thedodgemag.bsky.social close on the 15th! I'm reading fiction for Spring and Summer

@smokelong.bsky.social was my first exposure to flash!

10/10 take. No notes.

Looks at camera so hard the screen shatters www.brown.edu/news/2025-11...

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong. How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

Zohran’s mom directed this. @slate.com talked to her about it back in 2022.

Tonight!

EAT SHIT BOOK BANNERS

everybody gets twenty-four hours to lib out with impunity, tonight is the cringe purge

i wouldn't be a total glenn youngkin hater if i didn't mention that the results tonight mean that his total tenure amounted to presiding over the destruction — at least for the next few years — of the virginia republican party. lmao.

Only one thing could make this night even better

Savor this moment, friends. They couldn’t buy their way to a win. They couldn’t racist their way to a win. There are more of us than them, and we fucking beat them. And we can keep beating them.

Tomorrow! Join us at 8 PM EST to celebrate 10 years of Thirty West! It's going to be a blast.

ok sure. you hate andrew cuomo because he’s an unlikable slimy creepazoid with an adversarial relationship to the people he would govern…..but what if i told you a bunch of other slimy creeps with identical worldviews said to vote for him. does that change your mind

Meanwhile, read “Fight Like Hell” by Kim Kelly, until morale improves.

NEW: Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is committing $62M so that SNAP participants get full benefits in November. www.thebanner.com/politics-pow...

Teen Vogue rising after the 2016 election and dying after the 2024 election doesn't even feel like a metaphor as much as a microcosm of what is happening all over places that were once strong areas of resistance.

This isn’t true, but it is true that slaveowners routinely enslaved and sold their children.

DEFUND BILLIONAIRES. TAX THE RICH. FUND UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE AND CHILDCARE FUND UBI

I don't see a lot of people talking about this, so I want to highlight something GOOD Billie Eilish stood in a room full of billionaires and said "you're billionaires... Why?" She donated 11.5 MILLION DOLLARS to food equity and climate orgs, which Stephen Colbert announced to said billionaires.

A reminder that I'm currently jobless so if you'd like to interview me about this book I literally have all the time in the world. You will never receive an email reply so fast.

Yet again i want to remind everyone that Bill Gates and several other billionaires have invested in mining projects in Greenland that are only accessible because of melted land and sea ice, he and other billionaires are essentially shorting the planet

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

you are so much closer to needing disability benefits than you are to becoming a billionaire.

Excited to get an acceptance from @publishedbyjake.bsky.social! Does this mean I'm finally cool?

I am interested in starting to hear from care workers on SNAP about your concerns. I'm @motherjones.com's disability reporter. Please be in touch. My email is [email protected] and my Signal is juliametraux.49. Reposts are appreciated.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

once I learn how to fall asleep when I’m tired I will be unstoppable

Y’all, Spotify’s stock price sunk by 5% in 1 day. YOU did this by spreading the word to boycott them for running ICE ads. These billionaires only speak one language—money—so let’s keep up the pressure. Tell everyone you know to cancel their Spotify subscriptions. Send them to BoycottSpotify.com.

you're being very aggressive and unkind to genAI right now and not really giving it a chance, and i just want to say good job that's the way to do it
