In rape culture, everything a woman says means yes and nothing she says means no. This seems to assert that though she said not to come over, said no repeatedly, struggled against Platner, an ambiguous prior comment constituted irrevocable consent. Not a shocking breach not to include it.

Sometimes in life you just need to stop and yell in a basket on the sidewalk. Photo from my collection, no date/info.

Never really been into the Fourth of July past when it was exciting to stay up past 9, but as much of a disaster the USA has been lately, I'm glad to share it with several of you.

making ‘fairy’ cookies using violas from my garden thought the water I am using to collect them in looked lovely

you know what would be really funny

I’ll take “extremely niche groups you did not expect to see on a pride march but makes sense when you think about it” for 10, please

Another fearmongering article published by the @nypost. Responsible journalism informs. Fear-based language inflames. When wolves are repeatedly framed as villains, it doesn’t just influence perception, it drives fear, misunderstanding, and ultimately decision-making about how they are managed.

After a long day of hiding from the ceiling fans, Charlie has put himself in the corner.

oh shit they all got signed!! here’s some good trans legislative news for once

B is watching "The Bear," and I always forget that Claire Bear was a goddamn ER doctor. Can you imagine coming home from the fucking Pitt and being like "oh, noooo, honey, tell me about how stressful it was for you to make all that pasta"

Yes, gaze into the dark orb, what do you see in the depths?

JD Vance puts the Christ in "Christ, what an asshole."

Obviously it’s amazing when lightning bugs light up but ALSO they are so CUTE??

SpaceX is the main attraction in the American Innovation Hall. Again, the Air and Space Museum is TWO BLOCKS AWAY. The Smithsonian on a normal Tuesday is 50x better than this.

The National Endowment for the Arts stage has a solo performer up there right now. He is playing an audience of one. He just urged her to follow him on Instagram. I have seen larger audiences at 8am academic panels. I feel bad for the guy.

At the Reflecting Pool.

This is nice, but I hope they put him back after the photos!

*Vanilla Ice's concert was canceled, due to rain. But also: "Now he may not have a clue and he may not have style, but everything he lacks, well he makes up in denial!"

Absolutely love the look of this upcoming Indie game 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗼. The Egyptian carvings are actually the playable environment 🤩

found a good website www.animatedknots.com

I saw a little fairy set and it had a sign for a secret garden. That’s not how secret gardens work.

Jesus, when do the book burnings start at the fascist festival?

I started setting my name as "Gorgeous" on the dumb phone games that want to address me, and honestly I've gotten to like it.

No fair that I'm getting sick. Just because I've been stressed, doing more physical labor than usual, meeting with strangers, and eating terribly!

I think since being prime minister of the UK has such a high regret rate, we should: * Open Prime Minister Identity Clinics with 2-250 year wait lists * Ask candidates how they masturbate * Allow them to stand for the election only while they undergo talk therapy to convince them that they can't

Learning is fun, lol

Mechanism and updated prediction for the epic fail of Lincoln Memorial Bioreactor's polyurea coating! First chemistry, then physics It was sprayed in big sections. In addition to pool edges, failure will concentrate at the OVERLAP SEAMS between sections because they likely barely bonded at all. 1/x

Hey did you know I have an advice column? You should subscribe! (And check out the archives.)

Amazing that they thought they could suppress news identifying Jonathan Ross as Renee Good’s killer

Your health insurer is not your partner in your care. It is a company that decided, in advance, that some amount of your suffering is an acceptable cost of doing business. It denies claims because denying is cheap — and because it's betting you won't fight. 🧵 www.patreon.com/mattbc/posts...

LRT: to be clear, I have mercifully been spared seeing white people attempt Black English on here. But that (and other dialect appropriation) is sooo easy to spot and so lazy and so rude.

i am increasingly troubled by the number of obvious white people doing digital blackface on here to defend losers like jasmine crocket. its obviously you are a dumb white person. typing in AAVE is not the foil for your antics that you think it is.

Lol, my gf is using the riding crop her friend/former gf got her as a back scratcher. I love living with her now.

literally watergate

hat on a hat

No warehouses for fascists. No "detention centers," no data centers, no tax exemptions for a handful of jobs.

Is binning expert correspondents in eastern Europe a good idea at a time like this? Disinformation on the rise, Russia interfering in many countries, threatening several and actually at war with one? Well, BBC News management seems to think so. It's disposing of me and 4 of my colleagues.

Dentist doesn’t like the look of my gums. Also thinks my shirt is stupid.

-Bourbon! C'mon! Bourbon is pretty great! -Also, I try not to be a national chauvinist about food, but the American midwest has breakfast dialed in to a level that most of the world can just dream about

-Abraham Lincoln constantly and consistently stumbling towards doing the right thing, usually being pretty funny in the process -Frederick Douglass just being Frederick Douglass -the rough-chuckle art of Kara Walker

too tired to write, so you know what? let's just list shit that defines the good america -Les Paul, Paul Bigsby, and Leo Fender conceptualizing the mass-produced electric guitar while sitting around drinking beers in an LA back yard -Miles Davis creating entire new subgenres of jazz on whims
