Honestly surprised at how little I feel about the country’s 250th birthday right now. No sudden outburst of patriotism, but no real sorrow or anger either. Only sort of a tired, resigned acceptance that a drunk giving Kid Rock joyrides in an Apache gunship is just our lives now, you know?

best part of any book about american naval warfare 1941-1943 is when ship captains tell their commanders all their torpedoes either miss, bounce right off enemy targets, or go in a circle right back at them and the navy's engineering board just responds with

im a big baby about needles so on shot days when i get nervous i remind myself how fucking furious it makes all the worst people that i can transition and it motivates me to spite them

witnessing the birth of a new all timer post is such a beautiful thing

college should be free and scholastic sports should have nothing to do with the ability to receive an education but while they do trans girls shouldn't be the only group legally barred from accessing it you're a bigot

these slop-eating chuds literally just want more Lore and Content they are not engaging with your art they don't know what subtext is they really just want to imagine their blorbos as real guys who are their friends. cartoons are people to them; creators are not.

the thing is they do not in fact think trans women are male super predators because if they did they would give trans women seats on the supreme court

when i was 17 and suicidally dysphoric i read Omelas and mused about nobly being willing to be that child for the greater good 1. It's a lie there's no need you're all just superstitious psychos 2. fuck you i want out of the closet I hope Omelas burns i hope your joy turns to ash in your mouths

*sitting calmly in the electric chair that malfunctioned because 2 of the executioners couldn't stop arguing over the best amperage* heh, proof that even the executioners know this is wrong www.dsausa.org/join

I’m getting offline but I just want to say before I go that I hope these fuckers die screaming

i take heart in the knowledge that 4 years from now they'll (you know who) be pretty normal women laughing with their respective friends about how insane the first year of transition can be

my one and only toe-dip into TADC drama is the internet adored Jax when they thought she was a ratty, shitty, nasty "i can fix him" man, and it's only once they learned she was trans they've all gone in on "we always hated hi-, uh, THEM, and I'm glad he killed himself" and we all know why

meme of unknown provenance but constant relevance

We need to adopt as a nation a politics of kindness and empathy and peace. And to do that we do as a nation unfortunately have to put a bunch of specific people in the ground

next we'll find out this champagne socialist put her leftovers on ice. in a fridge. like a vanderbilt.

I'm not going to quote dunk on the piece but I very seriously question whether people who complain about tone and civility from "dirtbags" in political online spaces have ever really been subjected to real life incivility from the kind of bigots currently exercising power in government

Europeans talk about AC like Americans talk about public transit

We joke and that's fine, but I'm honestly a little upset to learn about Carville's reaction. I thought he was dead.

you watch adolescence of utena again and you remember how there will never be anything else like it ever

went down to the centrist convention. they’re all shaking and crying, I heard one guy say “I’m starting to think a better world IS possible.” the lady next to him slapped him in the face

all these young beautiful socialists winning elections is dangerously coming close to making me feel hope

i checked other parts of the internet's reactions to the TADC finale against my better judgment and it confirmed to me that we as humankind are basically cooked, it's over, it's done

made the terrible mistake of actually looking at TADC spaces after the finale and can see why gooseworx hates them so much

The USMNT can't park the bus because our country lacks the funding for public transportation.

the dirty secret of the popularists is they got exactly what they wanted with Starmer and it was such a catastrophe they've pretended it was something else

at bare minimum 2 of these 4 should be in prison and that they're all chummy makes me suspect the other 2 as well GW is a mass murderer and a war criminal who did nearly as much damage here as Trump and abroad arguably even more. fuck him forever!! fuck his mid paintings!!

it's remarkable how like, you can visibly notice how people who still use X regularly are either getting dragged to the right (if on the centre-left or centre) or just getting more toxic in general

i was teammates with a 7'8 guy who'd taunt every jacked, 6'6 bro he played until they'd pull their fist back to beat him up, whereupon wemby would go "heyheyyy c'maah je suis juste un grand garçon, noo, c'est aussi mon anniversaire, je suis un grand garçon d'anniversaire" & it somehow always worked

i would die for my country of philadelphia but it does suck that in NYC if i leave a 'party til 04' at 05 i feel like a loser, and in Philly if im still at a 'party til 04' at 03 i feel like a psycho

"awwww, my fangs are in my other purse" - real things i have now said

Alejandra doesn't complain much, (which I really respect), but this behavior by Ben Ryan towards her where he narrates everything she posts as if it's news is uncomfortable, unbalanced, and has a dark, menacing undercurrent.

the working class is made up of a lot more women than abusive men you are the ones imposing on us

"smoothgroin" "HR dem lady politics" ah my mistake i thought we were trying to get single payer healthcare

also if you want to build effective anti-fascist propaganda and claim historical lineage/legitimacy, just claim D-Day!!! i don’t care if you think it’s cringe or inauthentic or technically incorrect, is the goal to fucking Win or not

should i go see chris kirkpatrick perform do you think he'd sing My Shiny Teeth and Me

I voiced this with my girlfriend! Happy Pride Month! #fyp #voice #voiceacting #fypシ #trending #meme #pridemonth #lesbian #t4t Art by @katiknitt.bsky.social

the fact is these democratic governors do not have actual control over their own state police forces, and that’s a seriously scary problem that no elected wants to talk about or deal with

Some conservatives are closeted but when an alt-right guy is talking about women in a really demeaning way it's usually because he's a misogynist and not because he's secretly gay

Is there fanfic yet? I need a Dorley fic where the entire RCBG server gets basemented for their own health and safety.

i'm not on bluesky because i want to live in a bubble. i'm on bluesky because i love reading long manifestos about what's wrong with bluesky by people who don't spend enough time here to know someone does this every 10 days.

she's right, enough Hasan posting, if you are on bluesky you are old enough to Ian. W. Toll post

MGP wakes up every day and curses the universe she was born in America, deep in her heart of hearts she knows she was destined to be a front bench Labour MP

*sigh* bapanada

look, I've seen videos of enough Midwestern moms making their 'famous' casserole to know a kindred people when i see one. let's all just agree french food is overrated and japanese is the real number 1 and be done with it

ex. infinitum of someone writing the words "trans women are men" while blatantly meaning "trans women are mouthy bitches" just like all the other times, this is nothing but misogyny

Hot take but male socialization is a term that pretty exclusively applies to trans women in an attempt to dehumanize them because you people clearly do not have much of an issue with men in general behaving like men.

when two or more cis people are mad at your stupid post it’s called “respectful discourse”, and when two or more trans women are mad at your stupid post it’s called a “dogpile”
