I'm still a firm believer that when the government shuts down, no one should pay taxes. This is not an opening to retort with /why/ we need taxes. The point is taxes in the USA and increases on things like public transit don't go to support the people like it should.

can we wrap this year up pls

Feels like a fitting read.

I'm so smart and attentive that post sat open in the app as a draft for 9 hours. ಠ⁠‿⁠ಠ

This petition is by Robin Sullivan, wife and business manager of Michael J. Sullivan, for needed a change to Audible's new royalty model prioritizing Audible's income while robbing author's earnings. chng.it/98QMtvtpbg The gist from Daniel Green and Robin Sullivan: youtu.be/xhTmMv_s578?...

It's gotta be the wings and horns...

Every time I post here I wonder what imbecile with a lack of reading comprehension is going to start an argument or a barely thought out think piece. After a while it's just amusing.

Kinda hate how short songs are getting. I get why. Short attention spans and through streaming artists are paid per replay. I still kinda hate it. So much is affected either by short attention spans or a lack of critical thought. Why I gotta suffer because of y'all's brains? 😭

The amount of time it takes my autistic ass to comprehend hetero attraction and baiting. 😭 Dude says he forgot his camera lens and stands in the open. People are saying they're going to his country. He's showing muscles to thirst trap and I'm looking for a lens. Took me too long to understand. 🤣

Because apparently simply existing on this app and using it sends people into rage, an inferiority complex, and the inability to use critical thinking.

*breathes*

For years on Twitter I think there were only 2 to 3 times someone popped off over something small but here? It's like popcorn kernels to heat.

Wow. Three whole posts as if I presented this at City Council over other concerns vs on social media.

the subtext from those types of dems is 'I'm rich enough that whatever happens I'll probably be fine' and that's kiiiiiind of an issue

Very clearly. Pick up American Government 101 by Kathleen Sears and US Constitution 101 by Tom Richey if you're looking for a refresh or a way into feeling you know your facts and historical documents better.

The day a preacher or one of these weak ass love and light heauxes steal any of my posts, I swear on everything I do not love, I will be on their local news for some headass shit. You are divine. Ask God yourself. Be original.

All the girlies who acted like experts in anything esoteric are now running to make Christianity an aesthetic. 🥲 Why... Why can't you just be faithful and joyous? Why the guise of aesthetics?

I'm alive I'm just becoming less of a social media person and doing my best with *broadly gestres to the everything going on*

Reading Desire by L. F. Mersey and J. A. Vencill and came across this. Arousal nonconcordance is a term that needs to be taught in sex ed classes, to jury members, police, and even those in medical because they do not always have your best interest or justice at heart. youtu.be/L-q-tSHo9Ho?...

So many people were already in love with Zani and then Kuro said, "NUH UH ERRYBODY PULLING!" 😭

Social media influencers need to learn to move in SILENCE. Not everything has to be advertised to everyone. I used to be able to take the express bus to work in the morning but now because someone on TikTok said they get to relax and x and y the bus is overcrowded and late.

I suffered horridly from Long COVID. My heart and my mental health haven't been the same. I spent the night before my birthday in the ER from recurring issues multiple doctors haven't been able to figure out yet. There is so much more studying that needs to be done around COVID.

Now that I have ascended to my 32nd birthday, I shall create the New New Testament and make an example out of oligarchs and nationalist cults.

Read books that furrow people's brows on the train.

@nikkimarmery.bsky.social Thank you so much for writing Lilith. I'm on the last 100 pages and this is a treasure I want to reread and annotate when I get my own copy. Very glad my library had it. If I were an English teacher, it'd be required reading for my classes.

This is the moment 30 million people got healthcare. I remember.

A Kiss for a Succubus

I absolutely love her work 😭 So happy to see there are online programs.

Please read this page of Parable of the Talents

Anyone in meetings who regularly says, "I dont have anything to say," and proceeds to talk for 15 minutes should get jumped on the regular outside. No warnings. Just hands and feets.

"...as something they could ignore because nothing was going to come of it tomorrow." Her words are so damn powerful and accurate. youtube.com/shorts/sv5m3...

From now on I will badly describe being pan as being an advanced bisexual.

Prince told us the mind would be the battlefield.

¿Cómo? Double up on my calls and emails because I'm harassing you to do your job? Say less.

It's like a mfing test of patience. Every time I think a little more positively about men, a man does something headass.

Sometimes I feel like a child wanting everyone to just be a decent human. We don't have to be perfect. Just fucking decent. It's so easy to NOT assault someone but instead many people would rather act like it's okay and natural.

Every time a content creator, author, or sny semi-famous person gets their closet of skeletons opened, I'm glad the news is getting out there and people are speaking up in ways they couldn't before but I'm also often stuck wondering "who else?"

This day and age is a prime example of why you should never let imposter syndrome immobilize you.

Eric Adams ran so quick to Trump. They know the power of NYC because we're unhinged as shit. They know attempting to dismantle community and attempting to destroy hope are the keys to making this long game easier for themselves.

Have a great day to everyone except people telling me I can’t start a religion for spite because the fuck I can’t

Oh. Would be a shame if everyone shared this everywhere while trump and Eric Adams try to work out a deal.

Eric Adams sold out this city to get the Trumps to fix his personal problem, simple as that.
