love when employers don't just ask you "why do you want to work here" but "why are you looking for work" and then you have to... i don't even know what you have to do, explain to them that people need jobs to live? why would you ask that question 😭

you should literally not be allowed in political life if you know this little about how the world works. unfortunately we cannot do this because it would put 90% of all politicians out of work

A lot of speculation about how things got so Stupid and Evil and I think one reason is we've collectively been too tolerant of Stupid and Evil for too long

we all know some straight people who are spiritually gay and they are usually great, but we also all know some gay people who are spiritually straight and those are some of the worse people you can possibly meet. which only allows for one conclusion: heterosexuals have tainted souls

the problem with marxist podcasts is that all of them have like 200 episodes and mostly the hosts are not funny because they are straight men

Thank you sir

when your lawyer friend starts advising you to send physical letters to your medical billings company (that's trying to gut you financially and keeps blowing you off about their mistakes), that's a good sign right

jimmy kimmel is not the martyr many americans want. but he is the martyr america deserves

when the things keeping u up at night are entirely outside of your control 😍

supermassive housing crisis, health care costs skyrocketing, cost of living becoming untenable for more and more people, the country's haemorrhaging money trying to "close the borders", and what does this government want to focus on? making it illegal to escape from prison. death to the netherlands

"empathy is my politics" liberals irritate me. i'm constantly asked to extend my empathy to people who would not consider, for even a second, to extend their empathy to me. for trans people, our lives revolve around extending empathy to people who feel that thinking about how we feel is a sin.

not being able to hug your plushies at night because the idea of being hugged in bed makes you feel so lonely you cry is actually normal and average behaviour for a 26 year old with a healthy brain, right

maybe it's just bc im not religious & never have been but i rlly don't get how people get existential anxiety re: whether or not earth/human beings are "significant" (specially created/shepherded by god). like... i can't envision a reality in which this would be an important question to me

KIM KITSURAGI - "What is it, detective? Can you make it out?" BULLET - "if you read this you are gay lmao" 1. "It, um, doesn't say anything." 2. "Transgender ideology. My old foe." 3. [Espirit de Corps - Medium 10] "I think you should read it for yourself, Kim."

my hot take of the day is that empathy doesn't matter that much and a well-calibrated moral compass + compassion is much more important

I FINALLY GOT MY FUCKING SALARY GOOD GOD IT TOOK 3 BLOODY MONTHS BUT IT'S ACTUALLY HERE

folks want the epstein files released but they can't even handle a starbucks boycott

i really don't understand why we make doctors and nurses work such gruelling hours like the absolute last person who i'd want to be taking care of me when my life hangs in the balance is someone who's 10 minutes shy of clocking out from their 11 hour shift

Charlie Kirk: “God’s perfect law says gays should be stoned to death.” Liberals: “This is an honorable man who did politics the right way. Through debate, not calls to violence.”

one day. one day i will feel good enough to share my own poetry. one day...

85% chance the shooter was some guy who thought kirk wasn't bigoted enough and had gone woke

look at our leftists dawg were fucked

I can't wait till i'm 40 so that i can tell kids with manufactured nostalgia for the '10s and 20's that they fucking sucked

The BSky moderation never could have handled Shinzo Abe being assassinated is what I’m learning

rightwing media ecosystem operates by stoking hatred and anger and divisions every single day, they want people to constantly be afraid and want people to hate eachother, everything we are seeing is a result of the destablization the right has profited off of

shocked, confounded, and bereaved to hear that Charlie "I Love Political Violence And We Should Do More Of It" Kirk was killed in an act of political violence

"especially me" is so funny, can you imagine being so stupid that you can bring yourself to brag about how much you liked someone in what is essentially their first obituary 😭😭

no offends if this is you but if you're thinking "this is going to make the right do fascism" they're already there. they blew up a boat with 11 people on it for being immigrants. they're kidnapping US citizens and trying to rendition them to Uganda. do you think we're on a trajectory to peace

i haven't seen this many crab raves on tumblr since trump got covid 😭

he was literally being a chud about gun control while he got shot omfg

patience is a virtue

i don't mean to sound like a dickhead but i think y'all might be self-sabotaging at this point so here's a thread about How To Study from a "good student" with no discipline i guess (never failed an assignment or a class, top 10 of my year)

misschien m'n grootste irritate met mensen is wanneer ze hun buurt een ghetto noemen terwijl ze uit NEDERLAND komen, we hebben geen ghettos hier fucking ezel die je bent...

my biggest problem socially is that i am too easily overwhelmed to hang with for the queers who do drugs and talk about communism at the gay bar but also i hate board games and i don't like d&d enough and am too poor to hang out with the creative middle class nerd queers

suicide is usually impulsive, but almost never irrational. we as suicidal people live in the world - oftentimes there is a material rationale to our decisions. we need systemic change to be able to truly prevent suicide.

one of the most difficult things about being a person who likes poetry on the internet is just how many people will read some of the most uninteresting poetry the world has to offer and then go "wow, this is so powerful"

this is so true (and read lu's whole thread btw) and lot more people who talk of suicide prevention as if they are experts ought to internalise it. "bad mental health," does, in fact, include episodes of violence that harm other people. people who lash out with physical abuse are not a different

angela de jong is gewoon een nederlandse pamela paul maar dan in een nog minder relevante krant dan de times

Articles like this are necessary because, while gun ownership and training for marginalized people is crucial, everyone needs to be aware of the risks involved. Suicide is huge risk in gun ownership. Glazing over that fact helps no one. Doesn’t mean “don’t do it.” It means certain people shouldn’t.

i hate this new genre of poetry that's like "bad things happen in the world, but they do not happen to me. i feel guilty about doing laundry and being on twitter"

cant tell if i cant sleep bc i triggered my sleep disorder or bc my brain is playing a really loud kate bush medley in my head. maybe a bit of both

its always okay to be horny on main btw. even if simply because your sexual freedom is the enemy of fascism. just be horny

got a library card to be able to look at their audiobook collection (which isn't possible without a card so it's impossible to judge whether or not the cost of the card is a fair for the collection) and it is literally so abysmal. i'm sorry but it's no wonder these places are struggling!!

and what if i said that public proselytising should be illegal

A new Leftist Cooks video is premiering tomorrow (Monday) at 8pm Irish time. It's called "What is Irishness?" and you should watch it. Link to premiere: youtu.be/-n6VvpcdiC4

crazy that john berger could just say this (he was correct) in the 1950s and if you express any sentiment similar to it today you're deemed a feeble and lazy idealist
