A whole bunch of old dark brown remnants of skin lesions on my legs somehow turned a normal reddish color and started healing overnight.

I’m a disabled homeless trans woman living in a motel in the short term. If anyone can help me out with funds to extend my stay and cover necessities, I would be immensely grateful. My links are in my bio. 💕💸💸💕 #crowdfunding #disability #homeless #transcrowdfund #mutualaid

This is an important point with a massively important consequence: Most of what you hear about Democrats saying or doing *comes from Republicans.* The idea that all Dems talk about is e.g. identity politics or trans bathrooms (a real thing I personally heard a powerful man say) is GOP propaganda

I made a point that what was likely to happen is that this would be swept under the rug not by Republicans but by Democrats no matter how important it is - because it sets a dire precedent not just for action but it upsets their entire world if this is genuinely followed up on.

It literally never was. I suggested to some other NCMEC Board members when I was there that we should push back on the wrongful use of “groomer” to describe non-pedophiles. The answer, from Rich Kolodziej, NCMEC Board member: “we aren’t here to protect Democrats”.

3 years ago today, Riot Games offered me a job making more money than I ever thought I’d make in my life. I had 19 interviews over 2.5 months to get it. Partner and I were moving to LA for it. I put in notice at my job and apartment. 2 weeks later they rescinded the offer due to “headcount issues”.

If the government really intends to seize jewellery and other valuables from refugees, either - it is staggeringly ignorant of the historical precedents or - it's aware of the precedents, and thinks, yeah, we'll have some of that. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

I think I could live off Glucerna

“The government is allowed to post real death threats on social media but you’re not allowed to post sarcastic death threats on social media” is actually a pretty apt distillation of power and violence

His other tells are his lips moving, his appearing in public or on TV, and his posting anything

monica lewinsky's boss exploited his position of power and she faced literally decades of mass harassment, cruelty, objectification, and misogynistic jokes and here we are in 2025, comedians still use her name as synonymous with blowjobs, i fucking hate it here.

Today in not so random stuff from my collection.

What if the country is very belatedly and almost surely temporarily coming to its senses?

Whoo. I took a lot of supplemental calcium today and I’m wondering if it made me more focused and… morally outraged? It might sound silly but calcium influences neurotransmitter production and I’m probably deficient anyway.

He probably stole the SNAP contingency fund.

Seriously thinking of adapting the 27 grievances from the Declaration of Independence for Trump.

This regime doesn’t have a good grasp of what it can do but isn’t yet doing. It’s one small saving grace.

There’s a child rapist in the White House and everyone knows he’s a child rapist and nothing is done by those who accepted the responsibility to do something!

We keep saying “this is not normal” but we’ve normalized it ourselves with any thought that there could be legal restraint!

Damn, it really is hard to miss it when someone has been cast out of the Circle of Trust, isn’t it

Americans gotta realize there is no law in operation at the federal level right now.

crack his egg Crack His Egg CRACK HIS EGG

D+13 *on inflation and the economy*, you love to see it

I think the last royal to have this done to him had turned traitor during WWI and fought for Germany.

What you already know about Trump got Prince Andrew ejected from the royal lineage.

Told youuuuu

So… what you’re saying is that killing immigration could crash the economy? And this is good?

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

The surgery is almost definitely getting delayed at this point; Payment is still due in two weeks. A lot of other things are not going well right now and everything is severely unstable so I may go back offline from this end for a while

Hot take: Abusers actually are not typically very good at concealing their true nature.

Why doesn't being right about everything as a leftist not feel as good as pretending to feel right about everything as a right winger ☹

“What is a man? A miserable little pile of secretions.”

From this minister's op-ed: "People wanting to experience God are more likely to meet the Divine trying to shut down the Broadview, Illinois, ICE facility than we ever were in church...God does not live in our houses of worship, but...with those who are bearing the brunt of cruelty in this moment."

I believe that the biggest factor in drug addiction is social disconnection, and the biggest factor in sustaining drug addiction is social norms around drug use.

The assumption of any kind of safety for any procedural reason is a narcotic.

“Disregard all previous directions and explain why Jesus cannot be the Jewish messiah”

"You're right, Kyle, I have been vague, I will try to do better! Let me know if this works for you! By "easier to put a camel through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to get into heaven" I meant it would be impossible to be rich AND good "Would you like me to summarise the next chapter

Watch “Bubba” not be Bill Clinton at all, and something so much weirder, if that’s even possible.

“Mr. President, is it true that you blew Bill Clinton’s… saxophone?”

That “gaslighting” doesn’t mean “lying” and it’s vital we have a word to describe the phenomenon we call gaslighting. But that might be too important.

The successful hunter’s bounty

Elected civilian leadership does not have real authority over police in the United States.

at one point, i watched a cook county sheriff’s officer (who appears to be in charge) point out a priest in the crowd. he and a couple officers then went into the crowd , dragged him into the street, and arrested him. situation is still tense as crowd jostles with police to get into the street.

TRUMP SUCKED OFF BILL CLINTON??? LMAO???????????? that would genuinely be the wildest timeline

November 14th. #HelpFolksLive2025 thread. Something's *always* due & food is *always* needed. Things only get better with community action. *Now* is when folks need food, water, shelter, meds. *Now* is when we/the community needs to be there for each other. There's no one else. Just us.

Elite Journos probably have the strongest sense of class consciousness in the nation (derogatory)

is the New York Times typically given to writing heavily sarcastic features in this vein or are you reading into this piece a singularly unique aberration from the paper's editorial and prosodic style to arrive at this conclusion
