Writers and students shouldn't have to have day jobs to survive btw. Both are full time jobs. Ditto for domestic work and childrearing. It is insane that we're just expected to pretend that it's okay that things are like this imo. I get to say that too cos I'm insane. 🤷‍♀️

yes, please do not fedpost but also it is incredibly infuriating that the president of the united states can threaten to destroy an entire civilization with impunity and the rest of us have to say <redacted> a lot

I'm asking Europeans to be normal about the dynamics of American protests. The Coordination Rurale in France can dump manure in Paris because CR are far right nationalists who have a tacit agreement with the state. Like MAGA can storm our Capitol without being mowed down and slaughtered.

Tomi Ungerer - Cityscape, 1956

I love that the book banning little freaks get booted from school/library boards basically every time AND I want to shout out the wine moms they radicalized who were like ‘oh fuck these people, I’m running for school board.’

Current mood

how I feel every time I dart naked across the hall in my own home

You would think you would notice 12 pounds of orange tabby appearing in your lap, and yet! It just happened! Slooooooooowwwwly.

this is what i'm watching while you're sleeping, if you even care

Ah, spotted the issue:

lmao great work guys

had to break up a plane fight at the airport today not on my watch ✋

RESULT: The right took over the Francis Howell school board, a large MO district in the St. Louis suburbs, earlier this decade; followed book bans & restrictive policies on LGBTQ students. Tonight, the slate endorsed by the teacher's slate swept, and the last remaining conservative was ousted.

My fave are the extremely stupid 'Rainbow Code' names for weapons tests in the 50s and 60s. 'Red Shoes' 'Red Duster' 'Black Knight' 'Violet Friend'. Looking at old weapons research records has this jarring feeling of being in a jolly kindergarten run by infant war criminals.

signing a contract with a demon in exchange for the soul of my firstborn child and asbolutely ruining the day of some 20 year old in new zealand who never knew their father

This desperately needs to be a Master’s Thesis…

Found out assemblywoman Jennifer Rajkumar is trying to get bills passed where citibike narcs on you and where they you need pass a criminal check to get a 3D printer and she is one of the dumbest elected officials in the state.

I envision the explosive son having sort of the same role as an attack helicopter in west germany, peeking over terrain or treelines to guide in missiles when not relying on the arm guns for close in work or soft targets

This kid has since developed a crew of other runners he encourages who aren't as fast as him, a one-sided rivalry with someone I've heard bitterly vow to outrun him someday who he doesn't seem to acknowledge at all, & came back from the spring break timeskip in a new outfit with a new color scheme.

Robot of limited functionality

Nuremberg was an important symbol of German nationhood so I say with 100% sincerity that this is a job for Philadelphia

You know who is actually like a world class songwriter & doesn’t get named enough among them for my taste? Ludacris. I think it’s partially because he was also good at every other element of being rapper too. But go back & focus on the storytelling, picture painting, stanza switching & lyricism.

semi related, he generally seems like a thoughtful person

I’m old enough to remember when Wisconsin was lost forever, doomed to be run by Scott Walker for all eternity

Oughe….Wife

So judgy, but so fluffy #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

how is this a REAL chyron??

Attention lesbians: Rose Matafeo in suits 🫠

anyway i understand why all the kids are smoking actual cigarettes again

SHAW!!!!

My favorite new type of bluesky person is the well-off guy in his 50s or 60s sitting in a suburb in Canada or England smugly posting "why do the stupid largely evil American poors not simply overthrow the government"

Me: but i want it Ambulance driver [passing dairy queen] I said no.

I don't know how I wasn't crying in joy. Today was a hell of a day for mental stability but omg what a way to end it 😭😭😭 🐣 🪶

I call this duckling vacuum where they get their whole body done close to the water and just scoop up as much as they can. You don't get much better 🪶 🐣

this whole thing has been an Albanese plot to destroy Sunshine Coast cafe owners on the Easter holidays. He hates small business.

Hey if you're a young adult in the US pay very close attention to the moment because in shockingly few years the popular account of who did or said or supported what right now will be at times unrecognizable. Don't let that break your brain or just you, as a person.

Good thread. BTW, the Hyde article was submitted and accepted for publication in 2 months. That's FAST - do they have working peer review at the Journal of Academic Ethics?

3) Politics isn’t dirty. It is simply the process by which we make decisions about running the country. If we tell scientists, doctors, teachers, etc to stay out of politics and not get their hands “dirty,” who is left to run the country? And will we like the decisions they make?

IT'S SHUT THE FUCK UP FRIDAY TODAY AND EVERY DAY

sorry if it's not a good time to be all woo-woo but i love you and i love humanity and i will never let the worst of us convince me otherwise

The new VERY hagriographic Michael Jackson biopic starring MJ's nephew is out at the end of the month. But back in 2004 an unauthorised and EQUALLY flattering biopic was made in Canada. Here is a clip and I promise you have NO idea where it's going. I haven't done a single edit here.

I think it was a bad idea for Schumer and Jeffries to invite Netanyahu to give a Trump campaign speech in front of Congress during the 2024 election
