CW: suicide / / / / / / My husband, the love of my life, attempted suicide yesterday morning. He survived and is receiving treatment. It is a nightmare that won't end anytime soon. If you're thinking of it, please tell someone, step forward, and get help. Your life is precious. People love you.

What perfect albums came out when you were 16? (That was also the year that "Thriller" was released.)

couldn't we just choose to publicly relitigate all the other disgusting Trump stuff right now, while the tide is turning. I know he won in 2016 but that doesn't make the access hollywood tape any less gross, or anything else from that era of discourse. Why not just bring it all back up

if someone else tells you, “*you* don’t know what you like, *i* know what you like” — run

Re-enacting the entirety of Little Women, straight from the book, using my Madame Alexander dolls. It was a long-term project.

Besides all the other more important reasons, billionaires are just plain OFFENSIVE for how often they can fail, and fail, and fail and fail without one single goddamned meaningful consequence. The sheer insulation disgusts me.

In a stunning moment of erotic fervour, calculator demands BOOBS.

Posting to find this later because I like it. One of the things I care most about as a teaching is helping them understand not to be embarrassed by their mistakes in math, but to use them to learn the material better. It's a hard sell so I'm looking for things to help.

Meaning and beauty are based on what the reader gets out of it, not objectively on the work itself, and there are a lot of us who find meaning and beauty in fanfic. OP has some growing up and learning to do.

"oh but what if it's so-and-so" everyone involved with epstein who knew and supported and were involved with what he was doing should be tossed in the proverbial wood chipper why is this hard

We are going to have to do the scary but beautiful work of imagining and then manifesting What Comes Next. We have the advantage here. Liberatory culture knows how to create. Ash is the only thing fascists know how to make.

Radical destruction creates space for radical construction. I am not an accelerationist. I do not believe in cheering most institutional destruction, because of the harm destruction does. But once they are ash, it is time to dream. And then to act.

I think it is important to delineate between “not having elections” and “understanding how they’re going to try to steal the election” because if we understand the tactics we can do something about it.

If more fan fic communities spent their time and energy laser focused on creating and supporting fan work the Internet would be a much better place. If you don't like a ship online direct your energy towards producing art you do like instead.

HONK HONK I LOVE WINNING

The layers of SW all the way down 😂🤣

There is nothing more punk rock in the world than empathy and kindness. You will never convince me otherwise.

HONK HONK REYLOS!

Who knew an entire generation of novelists (and now a movie) would be spawned by the failure of two mediocre white men to create a satisfying ending?

I want cake for dinner. Honestly.

HELL YEAH!

Did it hurt when a movie was made from the fanfiction you hated?

Oooooh, I'm so into this already.

The most rotten thing about JD Vance is that he has three half-Indian children including a son name "Vivek," yet he still prattles on about how you must descend from the Europeans who'd settled America prior to 1861 in order for your citizenship to be valid.

I have willingly eaten czarnina multiple times in my life (although not anymore).

It doesn't matter if they are ever coming for you. It was always ever already too much that they were coming for anyone.

Tell me your pet's name with a gif.

I appreciate the optimism of this parking validation machine

This is beautiful. I cannot say enough about @candle-larkspur.bsky.social 's writing. It's smart, gorgeous, emotionally resonant, and very much worth all your time.

In my late 50's, saying a woman has "let herself go" is absolutely telling me more about the speaker than the woman in question.

would be cool if every major news covering the floods and mike johnson's pathetic "all we have is prayer" ended the clip by being like "HE WORKS FOR THE GOVERNMENT, YOU PAY HIS SALARY, WHAT ARE YOUR TAXES DOING IF NOT HELPING PREPARE FOR THESE THINGS, IF NOT HELPING RESCUE WHEN THINGS GO WRONG"

yall do not engage, argue with, put on blast, et al, dumbasses who can't wait to say "they voted for this!" about states struck by disaster. block them. block them the 2nd you see their garbage. take joy in knowing that you are limiting their toxic reach. they are dumbasses. they belong on twitter.

Breaded fried pork cutlets (Polish). Okay, they actually don't taste bad, but it's hard to find ones that don't leave my stomach sickeningly full of grease. Loved them when I was a kid, but now, not so much.

I have such a crush on Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain.

People on this app get really angry every time I point out that social media manipulation is a real phenomenon that we are all stewing in and that’s having real world consequences and I’m sure part of that is engagement farmers who do that manipulation not liking people talking about it

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it. They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory. Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human. Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

If your response to people dying in a flood is "that county voted Trump, they deserve it," you're a terrible fucking person and I hope you get a splinter that gets an antibiotic resistant staph infection.

This is the sweetest thing.

I had some very dark moments earlier today. But I remembered that my students this coming year will need a safe space and someone who cares about them and accepts all of them for the magnificent people that they are. I can do that for them. It isn't much, but it's something. To teach is to hope.

I prefer "Everglades concentration camp" myself.

I want you to carefully think about what Republicans are telling you to cut millions of recipients from Medicaid and Medicare. They want you to believe millions of “perfectly healthy” people are lazily sitting around taking your money. Medicare and Medicaid are health benefits not welfare checks.

Stall that shit as long as possible.

I'm a petty bitch and I approve this idea.

Do it.

May anyone connected to this regime never eat saliva-free food again.

‪Movie you've watched more than six times using gifs (hard mode: no SW, ST, or LOTR

My conservative FB friend from college was heavily implying that Mamdani was bankrolled by Hamas.

Bit rich complaining about New York being taken over by immigrants when there's a big fucking statue in the harbour that invites everyone to come live there.
