you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

my woke take is that entirely too many people feel entitled to the benefits of a social contract while not feeling bound by the responsibilities of said contract

Oh, you mean my house

federal agents stealing children and sending them south. where have i heard about that before?

Elizabeth Bennet seeing Mr. Darcy at Pemberley after being told he was not there:

We should all fight for clean air in public spaces. Healthcare facilities, grocery stories, pharmacies… people would be much healthier if we had indoor air standards. But don’t forget places where people lack the agency to mask. Schools, jails, detention facilities. They need clean air too.

Heads-up: You don’t have to support good public health infrastructure (like, say, universal health insurance and free clinics) for moral/altruistic reasons. You can support it for the entirely selfish reason that YOU are less likely to get sick if everyone else is also healthy. #TheMoreYouKnow

Nothing cuter than a baby seeing another baby and saying “a baby!”

yeah they're just murdering random people on these boats

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Evangelicals want New Testament grace for themselves while open carrying Old Testament God against everyone else.

I like how the medium-term prospects for political violence hinge on every pastor in America, this very morning, saying “You guys know you can’t like, go kill anyone now, right? That’s extremely against the rules.”

Quite. Release it *all*. Let the chips fall where they may. #BelieveTheVictims 🫶🏻✊🏻✌🏻

I am deeply saddened and angered by news that more NIH RIFs may happen next week. This is unacceptable, especially after NIH staff have worked nights & weekends to dig out from the backlog created by this admin's incompetence. Tell your Congress people NIH needs its staff to keep delivering cures

"But Shep surely people don't--" DO NOT BREASTFEED BATS. TELL YOUR FRIENDS. TELL THEM TO TELL THEIR FRIENDS. bsky.app/profile/tric...

Delete Twitter. Now. Seriously.

2yo has officially been introduced to Minecraft. Right now he’s mad that @ben-adp-wade.bsky.social won’t leave his nighttime hole because of the monsters because he wants ANIMALS! and OUTSIDE!! and OPEN DOOR!!!

The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality. ― James Baldwin Every single one of them. Goodnight 💚

If more people were familiar with the concept of stochastic terrorism I think we would be able to have much more reasonable and productive conversations. Sometimes speech IS violence when you’re spurring other people on to physically harm others

You do not get a pass because you wear a Christian jersey. You will need to exhibit the fruit of the Spirit. You will need to love as Jesus loves.

Trying to take courage from Bolsonaro's sentencing today. Nothing is inevitable, and fighting for the right thing always matters.

Racism really is illogical bc how are you threatening HBCUs bc a white man shot another white man at a white rally at a white university in what has GOT TO be one of the top 5 whitest states in the country??? Black people couldn't be further from this if we actually tried.

-My best friend is starving slowly despite sending her a funds when I can -My MIL needs $1100 to fix only car for several adults & kids + $ for school supplies & clothes -We need grocery $, $600 for bills on 12th & 13th, & $1500 to spay Tasha ASAP bc shes 7 & high risk All links: linktr.ee/wylder

This was resolved about an hour ago. Still, this happens more often than the residents of DC should expect or deserve.

It’s important to take breaks. To find joy. To rest & recover. To check on the vulnerable people in your life who may not be coping well. To show up for one another. Refuse to normalize violence, hatred, eugenics, genocide and threats to human rights. Refuse to leave people by the wayside

Publishing something this irresponsible, this poorly sourced, this quickly, is only one thing: an incitement to political violence against trans people. They don't care about whether or not political violence happens: they care that it happened to someone who looked like them.

Take responsibility for your fear, be brave enough to name it to the people who can actually help you hold it. It is easy to spread it, to get strangers to mirror it, repeat it, literally re-sharing it, you can get metrics! Cut it out. Take responsibility for your own feelings as care for all of us.

God's ways are higher than ours, and we are bidden to pray for the immortal souls of the dead, but it was on Charlie Kirk to sanctify his life and not on us to whitewash it

Yeah there's zero reason to view it. And unfortunately many people who had it shoved into their brains were quite traumatized by it. If you're curious, read a text description unless you have training or know it won't bother you from experience.

Reminder that Everything Is Made Up & The Points Dont Matter. Do something good. Join someone else doing something good. Build community support for as awful a time as you can imagine. We are stronger than hate and fear, always have been.

This will get worse before it gets better.

I saw someone else put it somewhat better last night but can't find it, but no one else, neither in life nor death, can make me abandon my morals or character. That's often the fundamental distinction between us.

Traditional news outlets typically made the decision NOT to air footage of people dying. Modern social media is not so discerning.

“If a new pandemic began today, mRNA vaccines are currently the only type of vaccine that could be developed quickly enough to disrupt its spread” www.cnn.com/2025/09/10/h...

The problem with allowing guns everywhere is that no one is safe anywhere.

This sounds wacky but it is backed up by science.

Do your mental health a favor and turn this on for today. You really don't want to watch this. It is awful.

Made my son a Messenger Kids account yesterday so he can send stuff back and forth with grandparents and now he’s blowing up my in-laws’ phones with carefully chosen stickers 😂❤️

- you clean up that banksy? - sure did, your honour, leaving a perfect, permanent outline, imbuing the work with real fuckin gravitas while making its point better than the artist did himself just like you asked

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

Good morning, beloved. A heart that gives nothing grows hard. Today is a great day to overcome evil with good.

1. Don’t 2. use 3. AI chatbots 4. for 5. therapy

This is an actual exchange from a VP who took an oath to defend the constitution and, as a citizen, is expected to abide by the law. May we one day have accountability for the grotesque lawlessness of this regime.

My sister’s house flooded in July. She’s been in a hotel with my 3 nephews since then. Insurance closed the claim and is no longer covering the hotel OR a $5k repair they JUST told her about that they need in order to move back home. Everything helps! Share if you can! gofund.me/fe73f4bc6
