zero drafting something that i think i might actually not get bored with??? #writersky #amwriting #booksky

Human beings are so much more than 'careers,'man. This is amazing. 😭😭

important news

Tomorrow we honor the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. I remember the "good trouble" that occurred 65 years ago. I believe it’s time for some good trouble again. Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/sunday-thought-a-time-for-good-trouble

I've finally put my "Find Your Organizing Home in NYC" zine online in readable form with clickable links - check it out and GET HOOKED UP and ORGANIZED, friends! gregpak.net/2026/01/17/f...

On a different note, I’ve kept this scene on my phone since forever. It’s insanely prescient.

coolness is much better in relative obscurity. if I was popular I'd start worrying about more dumbass shit than I already do and frankly, I don't have the head space

no honor, no dignity. a lifetime of trying to atone for the wrong they’re doing will not be enough. The appropriate posture for them all this morning is on their knees in the Minnesota cold begging the God of the universe, Who is against them, for forgiveness

hard not to notice that as trump's polls crater and gop gets crushed in election after election, news orgs are not racing around hiring progressive commenters and boasting about how they're reaching out to real americans by following the will of the volk.

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen

hold up, tina friml is the same age as me????

normal friday night over here, just yearning & fantasizing about who my dream neurodivergent bisexual person might be

i’ve been dx since 1996, i didn’t walk upright until i was around 3 & didn’t walk independently until i was 6, i didn’t start feeling confident enough in my self care skills to dress myself until middle school, i still can’t tie shoes, my balance is garbage & i’m scared of falling all the time bffr!

had such a big meltdown this week about my support services request possibly being denied (i don’t care that my IQ is over 100 when i’m literally permanently disabled & use mobility aids 95 percent of the time) that i started reading fair hearing case reports

Lynda Carter has the Poster’s Heart, we love to see it

i am baby who gets hungry & thirsty on long days, not sorry

turns out you can do things

random hill i will die on probably forever: bar cars should come back on pm trains, at least with snacks & regular drinks

if you vote for another cent for this you are a collaborator. this is a litmus test for every politician for the rest of my life

am i allowed to laugh

A friend just sent me this:

When you focus on the regular people showing up magnificently in all of their flawed beauty, it helps you to keep going.

why is it so hard to find good adult romance with physically disabled fmcs??? it’s genuinely upsetting #booksky

way to make bisexuals look bad, we really needed that

update: uhhhhhhh

The good news is that the primaries actually do matter. Only in 2000 and 2016 did the inevitable candidate prove to be inevitable. No one expected Bill Clinton, everyone thought Hillary had it in 2008, Biden was not a fave in early 2020.

i still think the insanely funny part of this is that they simulated going to the grocery store instead of actually going

i have been reading Tom Ricks’ “Fighting the Good War” which is a military analysis of the civil rights movement, and one thing that comes abundantly across is that movement leaders and ordinary people made it a practice to refuse to fall into despair and cynicism.

Ahhhhr nahhhhrrrrrr

This thread is an excellent guide for anyone who wants to get unconfused, scientifically speaking, about the currently raging hellish firestorm of wild claims and misinformation about trans people.

What ICE is doing is literally the definition of terrorism. They are terrorizing cities and neighborhoods so immigrants will self-deport out of misery or fear. This shouldn’t be controversial. The Trump administration boasts about it.

thank god, sometimes i feel so naive & stupid for it

It's like a post apocalyptic "Live Laugh Love" (complementary)

my cousin showed me “i’m shipping up to boston” the day before my 13th bday and i’ve loved dropkick murphys ever since 🩷 so glad they’re still killin it

nothing is hitting the right vibe that i wanna read & it’s really really annoying #booksky

fascism will disabled a lot of people, particularly folks who are organizing and resisting. so what will it take for the left to actually care about disabled people?

From last week's NO KINGS NO WARS NO ICE march.

As the Trump administration increases the presence of federal agents in U.S. cities, a local group identifying as part of the Black Panther Party for Self-Defense has become more active in Philadelphia.

Stage 5 pundit-brain is watching an innocent woman being killed by agents of the state and going, "hmm this says a lot about the urban-rural divide in America."

and yet people on this website constantly tell me its simply a matter of "fairness" and nothing more.

You aren't actually overreacting other people are sleepwalking.

i definitely reposted this recently but i’m gonna do it again!!!!

Also if these people can do it, then so can ICE, so can feds, cops, so can everybody working for Trump. Please do not pull "they had no choice but to only follow orders" card. My great-grandfather was invited to be involved with the Nuremberg trials. Fuck your just following orders.

White people using whiteness to combat white supremacy is key to defeating white supremacy.

somehow i’m both too disabled & not disabled enough…. it’s been this way forever but it still makes me absolutely rage

when donna moss said “oh my god, i’m too stupid to live!!!!!” i felt it in my soul

i really don’t feel like psychoanalyzing myself tonight but it’s blatantly obvious there’s at least 3 different types of trauma being triggered here
