I get asked a lot what I'm giving up for Lent, and this year the answer is nothing. this is what I'm doing instead, and I'll tell you why, and you're invited to join in with me however it fits into your own spiritual or contemplative practices. drive.google.com/file/d/15NhY...

Please help if you can tiny.cc/5nyy001

Hi, it's Mohamed's friend. He writes, "I'm afraid that we will be forgotten here and that the region will become preoccupied with the raging war." The price of flour appears to have risen to 300 shekels (from 30 shekels on Friday), so any donation would be much appreciated. bit.ly/help-mohamed

I'm feeling emotional today, and I made the mistake of grocery shopping before I had my dinner. So my blood sugar was low, I saw a little shelf of plushie bunnies waiting to find homes, and I started crying in the stupid store. Then I lined all the bunnies upright they all have a fair chance.

I'll stop posting this snippet when it stops being relevant. Also, go buy my chapbook to experience more misery (guaranteed). bottlecap.press/products/doo...

Hey pirate crew, does anyone have a little spare they could throw in the pot for Matt, our lovely community member who has just lost his job and has a car insurance bill to pay? It's a stressful time, but maybe we can help make things a little bit less stressful for one of our pals today.

Sorry that I don't find Tourettes jokes funny. I had a tics where I punched myself in the stomach, banged my knees together so hard they'd turn black and blue, and threw my head back so hard my neck popped as a kid. I was put on meds that had side effects so bad that punching myself was preferable.

Just catching up on SNL's sketch about Tourettes Syndrome. Looking forward to next week's sketch about how funny it is that wheelchair users can't walk.

It's been a helluva Monday and it's not even 11 am yet.

At $160/300 right now thank y'all for the help so far please help if u can and boosting helps

*stares at the Doomsday Clock like a character in The Office*

I could really go for an alien abduction right about now. 🛸

Genuinely amazing to see my most normcore friends writing instagram manifestos against US imperialism.

stepped outside for a vibe check and saw a beast fuckin hauling ass towards Bethlehem

sometimes something bad happens where there are no malicious actors, no one is happy, and everyone gets the worst possible outcome they don't deserve. social media exists to strip such events of context so we can have clear winners and losers

Saying things like "I don't believe in Tourettes" is unhelpful and deeply hurtful to people with disabilities. We've lived our whole lives with people saying, "You're just doing it for attention," or "You don't *really* have a disability." I've had *doctors* tell me I was faking my tics -

Will Stancil introducing himself as ‘the President of Antifa’ and offering a ride along to ‘the reporter from Newsweek’ (Greg Bovino in a fake mustache)

Me: I'm a big Star Trek fan, but I'm pretty chill about it. *somebody mentions Tarsus IV in passing* Also me: *slams through a brick wall like the Kool-Aid Man" WHO THE *FUCK* IS TALKING ABOUT THE MOST HORRIFIC PART OF JIM KIRK'S CHILDHOOD WITHOUT *ME*?!

This is another widely-known form of genocide.

Chuffed. My book, Parramisha: A Romani Poetry Collection is now on the book shelves at The Canadian Museum of Immigration for the upcoming Roma Migration to Canada Exhibit. Other libraries are National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth, Wales and the library at the Canadian Embassy in London, UK.

Canned mushy peas. I'm a freak and will eat them unheated if struck by the urge.

Coming up on Saturday the 28th!

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel. “The state wants to see everything. The corporations want to see everything. And they've learned to work together.”

My mother sent me a sticker of a mouse in a mousehole reading "Of Mice and Men" and I think it may be the most important thing in my house. In a fire, I would rip this baseboard free from the wall and carry it outside.

Every day is a good day to watch JD Vance eat shit

In Gaza, my children sleep in fear and wake up hungry 💔 No home. No water 🚱 No electricity ⚡ No food. Cold nights and empty stomachs every day 🥶 Please help us 🙏 $50 can make a real difference for my family. Donate & share 💔🙏🏻 chuffed.org/project/1451...

Until I read this, it did not even occur to me that priests are using ChatGPT to generate homilies, but of course they are, and my long-lapsed-Catholicism is kicking down doors in my skull yelling “HOW DARE THEY?!?”

Show some love to your favorite tiny literary journals, fellow poets. Just found out that Imposter Lit, where my very first published poem appeared, is shutting down. They gave me the confidence to keep putting my work out there when I was brand new to this. We love you, tiny journals/mags/zines!

This would fix me. Your last saved pic of a celebrity or notable person is your therapist.

Internet leftists criticizing Harris' bad campaign didn't cost her any votes. Her online surrogates spending years lying about the economy and smugly deriding poor people as being too stupid to understand their finances, on the other hand...

Peripherally engaged with a tradcath convert today who said "queer Catholics don't exist" and I was like -

last donations were: 2 days ago, 6 days ago, 8 days ago, 9 days ago ⚠️ please help Abeer's family 💜 Gaza Verified ✅ gaza-verified.org/people/@mmot...

I would like to formally resign from functional adulthood and transition into full-time swashbuckling.

The genocide in Gaza has ended, and I found myself without a home, without a city, and everything around me past, present, and perhaps future is destroyed. I am trying to rebuild my life, and I hope you will support me, even in a small way. chuffed.org/project/1389...

Had a pretty cool experience at mass yesterday morning, which led me to finally figuring out my Confirmation saint: Faustyna Kowalska, patron saint of mercy.

Had a wretched work day. Decided to have cereal for dinner and steep in a vanilla scented bath.
