we're getting all the downsides of cyberpunk (social alienation, ruthless hyper capitalism, digital mass surveillance state) but none of the promised upsides (cheap street food, cool jackets, super drugs that make you really fast and strong before they kill you)

I am in heaven thanks to @timmerjoe.bsky.social

I’m so broke it has been over a week since I have eaten pizza, and while that might not seem like a big deal, when you have ARFID and it’s one of like 3 “safe” foods, that’s a long time. Thursday cannot come soon enough.

I'm gonna be honest. I MISS malls.

I almost never talk about him anymore, but there are still times I get the desperate urge to reach out to Steven before that horrible empty feeling sets in knowing he’s not here. Grief never goes away. You only learn to live with it.

Is there any greater joy in the world than laying diagonally across the bed? I don’t think so.

If you were wondering WHY I eat so many pickles, it's because pickle wraps are one of the EASIEST high protein meals to make and I can change it up with different meat, flavored cream cheese (chive and onion, garlic herb, garden veggie, etc.) or different pickles (regular, hot, different veggies)

Next time I will also be trying peppers and celery, which I hear is good. Thankfully, my knife skills course taught me how to devein celery.

So the nice thing about Grillo’s is you can reuse the remaining brine to make your own pickles. So I have one tub of regular, one tub of hot (adding a fresh jalapeño), and one tub where I am pickling onions and radishes. 😊 May add more garlic when I find out how these turn out.

Dear Universe, No one gives a shit if a former A-list actor is homeless because of his own disgusting actions. You know where he could find a bed? Prison.

A real culture-shock moment for Manju today. I was giving him shit for hugging someone and he was like “when???” It turns out he didn’t know 🤗 is a hug and I just blew his mind. He’s been using it all the time with everyone 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He thought he was saying “you’re welcome”

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

I know there's a lot going on but if you can help with Echo's End of Life Expenses, my family would appreciate it. fnd.us/b2fcqd?ref=s...

Julle: But what do [ICE] have guns for? Detaining people who overstay their visas is not a crime that requires deadly force. Me: government-sanctioned murder (See: ethnic cleansing)

Got the saddest kind of troll on my ICE post. Don't they know they have their own website already? 🤣

I will believe this the day I believe Tuvix should have lived.

I can’t even describe the kind of negative feeling I have that anyone would believe Noem and ICE's story. We’ve seen how ICE acts on the streets. We’ve seen how they treat people. We have evidence of their brutality.

We cannot be more clear. Leave us the fuck alone.

Vibes are bleak. Try to take a deep breath, and then find something (small or big) that you can do to help someone who needs it

“I was like ‘WOWmt’?” “What did I say?” “WOWnce. But originally you said WOWmt.” “Oh! Yeah. I guess I was thinking it’s a wand and a mouse.” And that’s where I fucking lost it. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 “You mean a ‘WOWse’?” 😳😳😳 “yeah” “Why did you say ‘WOWmt’? “Like a tradem…oh” “It's called a WOWnd. Like wow, a wand.”

It was about wand that could act as your computer mouse for online gaming. It was called a WOWnd. 🤣 I was explaining it to someone and they interrupted me and called it a WOWmt. I didn’t even think about it assuming they meant WOW™. So they tried it out and were like “I love this WOWnce.”

I just woke up because I was laughing at a joke in my dream. Apparently even my subconscious can catch me off guard and make me bust a gut 🤣

Oh I’m gonna die. I just got an email from an organization that I would LOVE to work for if possible. So much so that I would be returning to a career path I thought I left behind.

Having a really shitty time of deciding if I suck it up and ask someone to be my co-signer on a loan or just keep banging my head into the wall trying to do things myself.

I have a new-to-me mattress that is only a couple years old instead of like 20 years old thanks to my sister.

Things I should do: eat an actual meal Things I am doing; eating slices of cheese trying to convince myself not to finish off the pickles

I just learned there is a whole-ass subreddit that uses ChatGPT for therapy and my god, this world isn’t just cooked, it's fucking burnt. Someone get the fire extinguisher.

AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Association) has partnered with Human Rights First to create the Ready Now! App. The app is designed to alert the people in your life if you are detained or kidnapped. It also included emergency planning and connection to legal support should you need it.

We are just normal men. We are just innocent men.

There is something stuck between my mattress and box springs and I’m a real life princess and the pea over here 😭😭😭

“Oh my god, America, what if we came and did that..”

Man, I am an emotional wreck today

How many attempts were made on Reagan’s life? Asking for a friend.

The word “dictatorship” is usually understood through a capitalist way of thinking that treats the government as something neutral and above society. From a Marxist point of view, that’s not how the state actually works.

Time to get one of those Hilton Rewards cards I guess!

I keep seeing a certain primary candidate come up, and I implore you all to compare candidates vs what they say. Acting like a random influencer “kid with a dream” who needs "representatives who face the same challenges [she does]” when you live in Evanston with your millionaire(?) boyfriend is WILD

I HATE when I see something that is righteous in spirit but factually incorrect. It’s a real asshole move to be “Well, actually Greenland ISN’T a sovereign nation” when you know that's not the point. But then you also don’t want people to sound like they don’t know what they’re talking about… 🫠

The government in Venezuela isn’t built around one person; it’s a whole system with other leaders ready to step in and a military that’s already organized and loyal. So getting rid of Maduro wouldn’t automatically change who really controls the country.

Politics is life. Just how it is.

2026 the doll

*whispers* Mr. President, you're not supposed to say that part out loud “Press charges through an oil blockage”?? What so they can only sell it to US now? I feel like someone explained to Trump that we’re running out of oil as a planet and this is his solution.

I hate that my dreams of him are so vivid still

I have been struggling more and more with my computer, which sucks when I am trying to get medical billing and coding certification. Trying to work on it today I realized I have been using it since 2018. 😖

It’s okay to not wish people happiness when they leave your life. Sometimes happiness is complacency and what they really need is the exact opposite of that.
