At least the new season of Sad Wet Boys And Mean Lesbians (The Pitt) starts this week

I'm very guilty of this too, but god I need all of us to stop talking about dopamine like its an addictive substance we all need to ween ourselves off of. It's a neurotransmitter/hormone vital for brain function and I am one of those unfortunate people whose brains don't produce enough of it.

ok but this whole scene in Master and Commander (the book) where Stephen is observing the mating habits of praying mantids -- described in inexplicably LOVING DETAIL by Patrick O'Brian -- and Jack barges in to invite him to dinner and read him for filth about his boots.

Stephen Maturin referencing Maimonides while writing in his diary 😍🥰 (and I continue to vibe with this character in weirdly specific ways)

That man is handsome, articulate, and has informed opinions. Help.

this store is 18+ and they’re strict as hell about it. none of this has ever been about “protecting children,” it’s about trying to force trans people to disappear

So many in media are ill-equipped to interview officials about what’s happening because they begin with the presumption of legitimacy and don’t know enough about history or U.S. foreign policy to foment intelligent pushback and hold officials accountable.

It's still really fuckin weird watching straight dude NHL reporters engage with Heated Rivalry.

How your email finds me: burned out, overstimulated, and standing in the middle of my living room shouting about the USA's long-ass history of fucking with Latin American countries.

Making a Letterboxd list titled "Sir, That's My Emotional Support Boat Movie" and it's just Master and Commander, Titanic, and Muppet Treasure Island.

and it isn't even the only example of US/Canadian national team members getting together ! it is something of a generational tradition !

and if you're more of a friends to lovers kinda guy, pls know that the captain of the montreal victoire is married to her winger

I just doubled over on the couch cackling and snorting like a lunatic. Thank you, I needed the laugh

Reminding myself that just because I can't fight the entire US government and god in a Waffle House parking lot doesn't mean I should pick a fight with Winnipeg Jets fans like it's 2011.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Me, on NYE: “I hope to envision societal changes through the lens of community and love rather than hate and retribution” Me, three days later: “Fuck this place fuck him and fuck you and WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO SANCTION US”

Marry someone who smiles when you infodump about Galápagos giant tortoises every time the two of you watch Master and Commander.

We're being held together by whatever the fuck it is going on between Jack Aubrey and Stephen Maturin.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

for the absolutely scalding tea

they did not file articles of impeachment, they demanded a briefing, and you want me to invest time and energy in voting for these people? for what fuckin purpose

In happier news, I got my MMR titer results and I still have very very strong immunity to measles so I guess that's one less thing to be constantly anxious about. (I'm still anxious about it)

Evergreen tweet

Held together by wellbutrin, nautical yaoi, and incandescent rage.

Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation. I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.

If there's anything the US, the European Union, and all of the western world and their liberal world order, or "rules based order" of international law, human rights, etc., teaches you, it's that western liberal democracies are all tools of capitalism, white supremacy, imperialism, and militarism.

[Tegan and Sara voice] 🎶Everything is awful!🎶

"I believe we do have the right to invade any country we want and overthrow its government and steal its resources, but I need to be sold some kind of morally justifying fiction about it first"

"we must punish the non-jews for voting for someone who doesn't abide israeli atrocities" is a sentiment that's really going to go over well and not feed into the worst characterizations of jewish people and power. once more, give it up for tablet everyone!

The IHRA is an antisemitism-generator that redefines antisemitism to criminalize criticism of ethnic cleansing and apartheid. This is why genocide activists are typing in all-caps today ⬇️

hockey

excellent thread

Bruce Springsteen's "Glory Days" was blasting.

Getting back to my roots (having a beer at a sports bar before a hockey game)

I'm going to a PWHL game tomorrow!!!

How I'm walking into 2026

trans people just want to be able to live their lives and cis people are like "due to this we need to do mandatory genital inspections to children playing sports". im sorry but the problem is cis people

A random six year old girl in a grocery store once told me "you should hang on a wall in a museum" because she liked my tattoos.

lesbian bars are planning to air heated rivalry episodes back to back all that twitter discourse has accomplished is a quicker death to tryout TERF talking points in fan spaces

Montreal Metros center Shane Hollander pulling an insane transition from missionary to cowgirl on Boston’s Ilya Rozynov.

Feminism is getting the same dumbass intermission interviews with women's hockey players as we get with men's players.

The continuing Heated Rivalry-induced flashbacks to my men's hockey fandom days.

does anyone know who is in charge of tv in this stupid country to get me the softball lesbians

How it feels right now in Philly

Turns out this is just the entire ✨V I B E✨ of the books. Were they playing their instruments, or were they...y'know...*playing their instruments*?

I don't want to find inner peace, I want to learn how to weaponize my rage against evil people.

Genuinely worried that all these baby queers with zero situational awareness who are suddenly into hockey because of Heated Rivalry are going to think it's safe to fag out at an NHL game and get hate crimed.

Just a tag you love to see
