The #NoKings rallies are crucial chances to organize, forge connections, and counter the prevailing pessimism with the spirit of hope and courage. Hating on them or pointing out flaws is easy, but there is no revolution without participation in massive imperfect efforts that you’re not in charge of

in 1971 they could only dream of forcing horror upon horror into the mind of one victim at a time. modern social media correctly assessed that the answer to "do you want to see the worst 500 things we can find today" is almost always yes. but it's fine and this has had no consequences for anyone

I would hate tourists just slightly less if they would quit stopping in the middle of the goddamned sidewalk.

its so funny to feed your body stuff like Hard Seltzer and Smart Ones and Cheez-It and then act like it's betraying you when you reach the outcome you've requested

Ok everyone, I’m assigning you your resistance homework for the week. Everyone ready? Do something silly that makes you smile. I just waved at a dog that had its head out the car window because it made me happy. Don’t let the assholes take your joy.

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities. I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

"I don't understand why I'm so anxious", she thinks to herself while scrolling an endless feed of what is happening in the world.

Want to read a Harry Potter alternative about queer witches? Are you tempted by Prime Day deals, but don’t want to support an evil corporation? @bookshop_org is having an Anti-Prime Day sale! IT ENDS TODAY!!! Might I suggest Verity Vox and the Curse of Foxfire? bookshop.org/p/books/veri...

I think I've figured out what's really bothering me about the WoW addon changes... For 21 years we've been able to customize this game within an inch of it's life. Many of the addons that are dying/quitting because of the "combat addon" changes do so much more than give combat info.

I cannot fully explain how hard this made me laugh.

Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

TALES FROM THE CRYPT not being on hbo streaming is one of the biggest fumbles ever honestly cant believe they have let it just waste away in some tomb somewhere. the second it trots back into the light there is going to be a huge resurgence

Breaking: News.

This is me not responding with “Google is free” to someone’s completely stupid and easily searchable Facebook comment. 😂

During the lapse in federal appropriations, CPSC investigatory, enforcement and public outreach activities will continue. Companies must continue to submit unsafe product reports to CPSC. The public will continue to receive recall notices and safety warnings. Check CPSC.gov for updates.

Left late so more traffic and Dunkin is so busy my mobile order isn’t ready and there’s school buses and AAAAAAA Happy Wednesday

“Siri, zoom in.” @calltoactivism.bsky.social

My boyfriend is on a cruise in Alaska. Four hours behind my time zone. My good friend I chat with a lot is in England. Five hours ahead of my time zone. I am having a very smol menty b about it. And I've been chatting with both of them! It's fine! I also hate it. Brains, man.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

if you're in northern new england and heard a weird sound earlier today it was 600,000 people all saying "we needed it" as soon as the inch of rain started

On Thursday I work from home. Today I got up and booted up my laptop and started coffee and turned around and the laptop said "cannot find boot device." 🙃 So now I'm in the office.

Even though I know if I keep eating this pineapple my tongue is going to hurt all afternoon I cannot stop. Why am I like this. (I'm not allergic. Pineapple just does a great job of tenderizing meat. Like your tongue.)

I am about ready to fight god this morning. Happy Monday

Really feeling like a broken person this morning. Tonight I will see my boyfriend. This morning I’m crying because I don’t know when I’ll see him after this weekend. WHY can’t I just be excited about this weekend and be sad later ffs.

“Molly. Are you hurting your own feelings with music again?” Me, frantically shoving a playlist called Get Hurt behind my back: “. . .no??” open.spotify.com/playlist/00n...

The sidewalks are watching me think about you #awaymessage

I am deeply exhausted this morning. And in the office. A delightful combination.

Call me radical, but I think we *don't* need to have polite chats with racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens, and we *don't* need to have bipartisan deals with fascists trying to destroy our democracy and our government.

Person A: "Has the actual maker of this thing said if X is going to happen?" Person B: "I'm expecting it won't" WHO CARES WHAT YOU'RE EXPECTING, the question was do we KNOW. To be fair Person B in this exchange is 100% a Bitch Eating Crackers for me but STILL.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

I really just need to have a good cry but I’m in the office today so I’m trying to hold it together. Currently I’m on lunch, in a cemetery, having a little menty b, as a treat.

I am holding on by a fucking thread today.

We could be 5 to 10 years from toothpaste that can regrow tooth enamel. The scales are beginning to tip in favor of Mars once sustaining life. We’ll potentially know for sure by 2040. The blue macaw is up to 160 individuals from an all-time low of 7, and confirmed to be breeding in the wild.

Covid and flu vaccines scheduled for tomorrow. Thank you Governor Mills for ensuring Mainers can get the covid vaccine easily.

Home from a weekend of camping. I know I'm pretty tired but I just found out I'm "put laundry in the washing machine but didn't actually start the machine" tired. 😂

Autocarrot just tried to correct “don’t plan to” to “dong pls” and now I have some questions for Mister Tim Apple

Meanwhile ICE is still kidnapping people. This was a mile from my house. www.reddit.com/r/portlandme...

What an exhausting time to be able to read

Well I guess we've officially hit fall weather, my hands suddenly hurt terribly. Bodies are stupid.

This is a beautiful thread and you owe it to yourself to read it

Release the Halloween scents? More like RELEASE THE DAMN FILES 👻

all the best windows software in history is called something like "joe's thing doer". it does the thing and nothing else and is available on a html website in plain text and takes up under a megabyte of space and uses default windows ui elements and will work until the heat death of the universe

Had a really great weekend with T and now he is on his way back to Delaware and I am so sad. Long distance sucks, yo.

A cool, fun and logical thing to be anxious about is that T is on his way to spend the weekend with me. Why am I anxious about this??? Brain please.

Someone's car alarm started going off at 3:30 AM so that was delightful. Took forever for me to get back to sleep. Happy Thursday! 🫠

In love with being noticed And afraid of being seen #awaymessage

The shitty communication and dismissal of feelings in a situation where communication and care are both key does not bode well.
