Here are things that do in fact constitute death threats, by the way. "We should take away people's snap benefits to encourage them to work." "It should be illegal to allow teenagers to access puberty blockers or transition care." "Homeless shelters should turn away people until they're sober."

sure sex is great but have you ever supported your artist friends during the holidays by buying their lovely work?

I'm on the hunt for the best version of Your Idol, cover or remix or otherwise. This song has a death grip on me.

I say it over and over again: when you have that much money, you want to live where you want to live and you are simply not going to relocate because of marginal tax rates Alan Dershowitz will never leave Martha’s Vineyard and they won’t even sell him a pierogi

tax the rich, they will whine and bitch and moan and they will pay their damn taxes because where else are they going to go, fucking Florida? it’s not Massachusetts and it’s certainly not New York City

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

They don’t have to. But they are in fact now a military force and they are at war with Americans.

#uspol Well. This is predictably bad, isn’t it. Don’t like this timeline!!

Long ago on the hell site I made long list of historically interesting things to use in dnd ttrpgs and I'll start dragging them over here starting with 2000 years-old sapphire ring presumably belonged to Roman emperor Caligula, depicting his fourth wife Caesonia.

good news for the people who are saying they'd never touch starbucks coffee anyway: you can go ahead and drop $5 in their strike fund sbworkersunited.org/strike-fund/

RE starbucks picket line--the relevant detail is "picket line, do not cross." Pass that along. Proclaiming that you are in no danger of doing so because you are too aesthetically pure to let Starbucks coffee pass your lips is...unhelpful and does not give the impression you perhaps imagine it does.

to anyone who's tried to get me into anything, i'm sorry

ever since I learned about three-cueing I've developed infinitely more patience for replies on social media. mfers literally do not know how to read. people are walking around conjuring random meanings into words they don't know, and they don't know a lot of words. it's crazy

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

i had the idea for this piece last tdov but it didn't quite come together until now 🥖🍷 quote by Julian K Jarboe

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

Earlier this week, I watched a professor, a core scientist, and a postdoc at 8 am in the lab trying to figure out what 90 divided by 6 is, so this checks out, actually. If you’re writing JayVik and don’t know science, just add the caveat that JayVik haven’t had coffee.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

I can't remember the precise wording but someone on here said that the Republican threat to expose Bill Clinton too isn't so much a threat as it is a "buy one, get one free" promotion.

If a man calls a woman “crazy” please know that it’s actually code for “she is reasonably upset by the compounded experiences of injustice that her mere existence has subjected her to and I don’t want to acknowledge it or I fear I will realize I’ve benefited from the culture of it.” Hope that helps!

Whoops I accidentally slipped and fell on my keyboard and 600 words of skz RPF fae AU fic (based on the first set of Do It concept photos, the seaside ones) fell into a doc. Wild how that happens.

#uspol 😅

Maybe it's my Autism Brain or whatever, but I don't really get why anyone who had access to this stuff wouldn't have splashed these horrific revelations literally everywhere the second you knew about them. Take these fuckers down.

People like this man are why it is damn near impossible to get good pain medication legally today. They oppose narcotics. They oppose marijuana. They're villifying acetaminophen. Now they are coming for NSAIDS too? Do they *want* me and those like me w/ chronic pain to die? Sure seems like it.

lolsob

Important to understand the Epstein stuff and the fascism and the corruption are, in a lot of ways, really all the same story from different angles: powerful men who can and do abuse vulnerable people around them because they can, and because systems of elite accountability catastrophically failed

Right, this event needs $1500 to happen. There are 600 participating bookstores & for most it’s their busiest sales day of the year, or is second only to Indie Bookstore Day / Small Business Saturday. Editors/publishers, this is a no-brainer of an opportunity for your imprint. Romancelandia: pls RT

Attempting to describe #dmbj is... well. An attempt was made.

Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning. And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

My takeaway from every new Epstein revelation is that some powerful people victimized many powerless young women, many more knew, some actively enabled it--and we're still being told that MeToo and accountability for sexual violence have gone too far

I fell into the deepest rabbithole on this stuff in 2023 and came out with 40k words on what exactly Meta did to enable and promote that genocide, and if you haven't read very far into the whole story, I can pretty much guarantee it is worse than you think it was. erinkissane.com/meta-in-myan...

Masks have been an important tool to protect from wildfire smoke or allergy dust since before COVID-19 hit. Mask bans are not only dangerous for people with #LongCOVID but leave everyone more vulnerable to the harmful impacts of air pollution. Read more from @adiehl.bsky.social: bit.ly/3LVDusC

One of the things that gets lost in translation is how rhythmic & fun to read the prose of the original Journey to the West is. Best way I can describe it is "Imagine if Dragonball was Written instead of Drawn" Esp. when for most of its existence, this is how story would've actually been read:

I love this.

If the Republican strategy is "if you reveal the President is a pedophile we'll reveal tons of other pedophiles" then... Okay? Go for it? Take them all down? Send them all to jail forever? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

unironically they're 100000% correct

It was a “sit down and rest after showering” kind of morning, and I was feeling kind of down about it, but then @dodecahedron.bsky.social and spouse came over for a visit and I got to have a lovely chat and I didn’t have to GO anywhere to be sociable and it’s been really great.
