seeking the death penalty for luigi mangione who killed one guy that personally profited from the unneccesry deaths of millions of americans, but not the guy who killed 23 innocent poc (& injured 22) in a mass shooting hate crime really shows this country’s fucked up priorities.

the elite will tell the working class that if we can’t afford rent we shouldn’t spend money on avocado toast, but really it’s that if a country can’t afford to take care of its citizens then it shouldn’t be spending money on going to mars or anything else that pays out billions to billionaires.

elon said they deleted the "direct file" tax payment system, a beneficial & efficient program that let people file taxes on their own. the only beneficiaries of this move are massive corps like h&r block/intuit who sell tax filing services, & of course the politicians they donate to.

this week the senate will vote to confirm russell vought (the guy behind project 2025) to the OMB. THIS MUST BE STOPPED. with elon in control of the treasury, this could affect social security, medicare, etc so if you or your loved ones depend on those programs you need to WAKE UP & participate.

which speaking of… where the fuck are the democrats? like seriously what the fuck are y’all doing right now? because it looks like absolutely nothing. trump & elon may be leading us to fascism but y’all are still guilty of being absolutely worthless with your silence & weakness.

i get people saying “complain to your elected officials” but i did that and contacted every single one of them over covid about millions of mixed income workers who were severely fucked on unemployment & all i got was a “thanks for your email” reply from one person lol

oh 1000% - elon is exactly who we should be targeting with funny memes about how embarrassing he is.

this is so weird. i keep trying to appeal this & when i click submit it does nothing & doesn’t confirm it was submitted. @moderation.bsky.app ????

saw an interesting video about how research has proven how humor is super effective when fighting fascism. but it made the good point that we shouldn’t “punch down” by making fun of our fellow americans who we’ve been forced into conflict with, but focus on the leaders & people in power.

well would you look at that

vaccines: mostly proven safe & often vital for public health, altho some may involve some risk pregnancy: statistically proven to significantly raise women’s mortality rate, no health impact on others if you only support the freedom to make a personal choice about the first one, you’re a hypocrite

was so on board w/ this until the “chemicals designed to give you cancer” part. the facts are bad enough - we don't need to throw a conspiracy in there. how about truths like "unregulated lobbying & super PACs that give unlimited power to corporations?" OR "charging you 1000% on life saving meds?”

every couple of months i run out of vyvanse for a few weeks due to some bureaucratic bs & just have to flounder around life until they decide to refill the medication that makes me a functional member of society 😹

the WHY is so important. are they getting paid for clicks/views? are they selling you a product or other call to action? are they intending to evoke emotions > thought? if they’re personally benefiting (usually money/influence/power) from their claims, you should be skeptical.

if you want to “do your own research,” take notes from the scientific method. when you form your hypothesis, seek data to disprove it to avoid confirmation bias. reject anecdotal evidence as “proof” in favor of data that has been consistent across multiple peer-reviewed studies.

if you’re here and on X, sorry for double posting. will be doing that for a while since my reach smol af here.

interesting that people who are the most worried about trans women in bathrooms aren’t actually worried about trans women. they’re worried about predatory men posing as trans women. we agree: predatory men are the issue. so why is it “not all men” but “punish all trans people?”

ugh see THIS is another reason why i don’t want people sending me adult content - been on here 24 hours & already flagged for explicit material when i’ve only posted my cat and backyard 🤦🏼‍♀️

just went in my backyard for the first time since i left tuesday during the windstorm & oh my godddd. RIP gazebo + fence 😩

sushi’s at her dad’s house rn but cool thing about friendly breakups/healthy coparenting is that i still get top tier content like this when she’s not with me 😻 10/10 recommend.

if you ever think i’m cringe or obnoxious just know that i also always think that - so i get it

if you ever think i’m cringe or obnoxious just know that i also always think that - so i get it

by “do your own research” people just mean googling “proof that my belief is true” & clicking on the first positive result

since we starting fresh here, reminder that it’s not chill to send people x-rated content without their consent regardless of their current or past profession!

nothing i hate more than a new social media platform but it had to be done
