The 13th annual international Gender Census 2026 is now open until at least 13th August 2026! survey.gendercensus.com It's for anyone whose gender (or lack thereof) isn't described by the M/F binary. It's short and easy, and results are useful in academia, business and self-advocacy. #LGBTQ

patron randomly complimented me on their way out the door today by saying "you look really cute" and i still don't know what to do with that.

Nice thing to see on my way home.

LRS LIKE THIS FOR EXAMPLE?? over SHOPLIFTING? people are presumed innocent until proven guilty! but cops think shit like this is totally justified! (don't get me started on police chases)

Everything about the current American administration is Crooked and Weird…..

The chonkiest! :3

avoiding bsky bc of a shot dog but not horrible shit happening to humans is wild and just reminds me that so many (white) people make a bigger stink about dogs being killed by cops than black people being killed by cops. neither are good but one is, yknow, maybe a little bit worse than the other?

Well. Now that we have resoundingly lost the war in Iran, can we get back to talking about the Epstein files?

can my back pls shut the fuck up. i have no idea what i did to it but i spent my entire (four-day!) weekend in pain, yesterday in pain after tossing and turning constantly, & i'm supposed to do four hours at our circulation desk by myself when we get our remote drops delivery (like 200-300 items) +

the onion is supposed to be satire

The reason cops kill is because the job attracts people who fantasize about murder.

Pure Karna for running over protesters at ICE in Portland Oregon and New Jersey. Everything ICE does unlawfully should be done back to them.

people are rightfully saying that autistic people can do all these things, but even if an autistic person never does any of these things, that doesn't mean they don't deserve to exist and be treated with respect and dignity.

sometimes i just think about that three ryan gosslings on a dish towel video and i hope he, the interviewer, and the woman who made the towels are all having a fantastic week

i know ppl dont always have the capacity to do certain things w/ multple people & whatnot but it's hard not to feel hurt when you see one of your bffs who doesnt "hang out" with you more than like 15-20 minutes once or twice a week talk about watching things witih someone.

Talarico: Here's what real men don't do. They don't lie and cheat their way through life. They don't sell their soul to the highest bidder. Real men serve others, weak men serve themselves. So I welcome this debate. I don't think Paxton or Cruz are in a position to tell anyone what a real man is.

being transgender is amazing and beautiful, transitioning is one of the greatest choices you can ever make and i hope more people realize that its not dangerous or evil, but liberating

I've reported on Musk for around 8 years. I've co-authored a book on him. I don't think folks understand the rate of his wealth accumulation. Shortly after he helped elect Donald Trump in Nov 2024, his net worth was around $350 billion. That net worth has nearly tripled in less than two years.

I don’t want to live in Pee-Wee’s playhouse. I don’t want a toilet that moans when I use it

I’m exhausted from all this winning. 🥴

The Kennedy Center saga is so perfectly Trumpian. He installed a board of sycophants, put his name on a building in a typeface that didn't even match, tried to shut the venue down when artists boycotted him, and now he’s legally being erased tonight. Here’s to the first eviction of many.

We just want to afford gas, groceries, housing and health care.

people who work and invest in AI frequently ask me why their work polls so badly

with a trillion dollars, elon can pay one million people one million dollars to pretend they are him playing a video game

Never forget those we lost at Pulse 10 years ago. #Pulse #Orlando #lgbtq #latinx

I talk to a lot of folks in real life about data centers. I have never run into even one who supports them, aside from the folks sent to our towns to sell them to us. Dems should lean into this. The Rs are generally in favor of letting corporations steal our water and power and quality of life.

It shouldn’t be controversial to say that the creation of a “trillionaire” represents a giant and complete failure of public policy and government.

Sea otters North Pacific Ocean Smallest marine mammal adapted to ocean life can live entirely in the water, eating sleeping, giving birth while floating on their back. Fast swimmers, amazing diving skills among the best parents in the animal world.

elon musk becoming a trillionaire the same day the DOJ approves the paramount/warner brothers merger is too much. only one sign of the apocalypse per day, thanks.

Why do we even have the 25th Amendment if we’re not going to use it?

Congratulations to Elon on becoming the world’s first trillionaire from London 🔥

a little on the nose for capitalism that the world’s first trillionaire is a nazi conman

A trillionaire isn’t a success story. it’s a policy failure.

Living rent free.

live your life in such a way that the entire world isn’t waiting to see your accursed name pried off every building

The Ellisons now own TikTok, Paramount, Warner Bros, CBS News, HBO, Comedy Central, and CNN, among other major channels. They are also the largest private donor to "Friends of the IDF." They also paid $7 billion for streaming rights to UFC, which is hosting an event at the White House.

Elias: The fact that the New York Times thinks there’s a middle ground here… Here’s my message: I don’t compromise with Republicans because there is no middle ground between a firefighter and an arsonist, and they are trying to burn down democracy.

This might be hard for Americans to hear, but the USA getting humiliated by its abject failure as a power during this Iran War might be the best thing possible at this time. The country needs to understand there are consequences for electing a crook.

Elon Musk spent $290 million getting Trump elected. During this midterm cycle, he's spent $85 million. In total, that’s 0.0375% of his $1 trillion net worth. Oligarchs can rig the system at the expense of everyone else, and only spend pennies doing so. We must get Big Money out of politics.

however much you hate billionaires is not enough

Remember how dignified the White House used to look before flashy new-money white-trash moved in? The British in the War of 1812 treated the building with more respect.

Reason #1,000,000,000,000 why we should tax the rich.

"So this very much looks like a deliberate war crime. It's an attack I fear the USA will regret for a long time. It is no different than Al-Qaeda deliberately targeting civilians. If the US gets attacked in return, it will only be served what seems to be official American policy on a cold plate."

A society with one trillionaire and millions of people in poverty is something to be deeply ashamed of, actually

Just as the engineers said it would.

Reuters: US JUDGE ORDERS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO REINSTALL SIGNS, EXHIBITS IT REMOVED FROM NATIONAL PARKS DISCUSSING TOPICS LIKE SLAVERY, CLIMATE CHANGE

guy has a trillion dollars, 0 friends, and has never landed a joke. I know a pact with the devil when I see one.

People have shown up to watch the removal of the orange felon’s disgusting name from the Kennedy Center including thousands more watching live streams. It’s coming TF down!
