Something soothing and pretty

Kristi Noem is a monster. Plain and simple. That being said, I’d be thrilled if the internet laid off the very lazy and too frequent use of “cunt.”

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

This is so profoundly disturbing. Pull the plug on all ai not directly related to science and medicine.

Lot of conversation about antisemitism this week so just a gentle reminder that we don’t hyphenate the word, because it implies there is such a thing as a “Semitic” race (there isn’t, there’s only Semitic language) - and implying there is a Jewish race is of course deadly for the Jews. More info:

"We Beat 'Em Before... (Portland's Version)" This idea came to me late. I think it fits really well since Portland Frog Brigade literally carries no weapons and yet ICE has no idea how to respond to them. Just feckless incompetent goons all around.

I came across this from that other place, written 12 days after J6 and two days before Trump was evicted and Biden took over. We are in the trouble we’re in because Trump was not held accountable for his crimes, particularly inciting a ldeadly insurrection. Accountability is key for our future.

Coalitions shall be built one toad at a time. May we play and plague 🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸

guys can we do frogs everywhere? please i need a frog uprising you know…before we croak we need a jump in activism a ribbit revolution vive les grenouilles libres!

There are very few “trends” I would care to revisit from 2020. I hope my justice-focused and confrontational friends can resist the bait of escalation. This is all the twisted distraction of a psychopath.

And in another chapter of “STILL WITH THIS FUCKING GUY?”

JFC

I got stung by a bee today. To be fair I was making a ruckus where it was trying to work.

*chef’s kiss*

“I will NOT yield to disrespectful men.”

Yeah this season of Arrested Development is the wildest one yet.

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Three months? Or 84 years? WHAT IS TIME

Ugh this fucking guy AGAIN/STILL

Just left a voicemail for my representative @gluesenkampperez.house.gov expressing my disgust over her voting to censure @algreen.house.gov. Rep. Green’s truth to power on Wednesday should be held up as inspiration, not admonished with performative pearl-clutching. More #goodtrouble please.

They’re just such slobbering freaks 🤷🏻‍♀️

I once dated a dude who confessed he got bilked out of like, $1500 bucks in Vegas because he and the stripper he really connected with were “just talking” in the champagne room and he didn’t realize the meter was running. I told him he shouldn’t tell that story on dates anymore.

The US, in a single image.

I don’t care if it’s petty but I get such a giggle every time @hcrichardson.bsky.social refers to DOGE as “doggy.” It’s the little bits of humor that are gonna keep my head above water.

The North remembers.

The masses are asses and here we are, going through a hasty coup, traveling at the speed of stupid.

Really would have thought ditching weed when I did would lead to “looks like I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue” anxiety, but it’s actually been the opposite. 3 weeks weed free My acorn is disintegrating and my tree is growing. No euphemism here 😂

If “malevolent incompetence” is a spectrum, on one end is the dudes from Office Space having to look up “laundering” in the dictionary. And the other end is the fresh hell we are currently steeped in.

I hope Dr. Fauci is living his best life someplace beautiful abroad, safe and sound. We never deserved him.

SUCH an important conversation right now. Our attention is commodity. How do you wanna spend it? Or BE spent? open.spotify.com/episode/2jLQ...

This was excellent, and further fuel for outrage. Thank you @ilyamarritz.bsky.social and Andrea Bernstein for the incredible work. open.spotify.com/show/2bCEVSr...

I’m so amused/bemused by the misuse of “American Exceptionalism.”

Committing to turning away from the news tomorrow feels even more foolish to me than posting those black squares in 2020.

I quit smoking weed 10 days ago and I’m really proud of myself. The Grounded App rewards me by growing an acorn into a tree. From weed to seed. Gamification works.

Full moon illuminating Mt. Hood. Looking good, babe.

getting angry

Being off IG kind of feels like micro dosing Adderal. I can’t believe how much laundry is getting folded and how much tidier my surfaces are. Not an euphemism but it could be.

Reflecting on how much and where to spend my social media time in the new year, thinking I wanna just start commenting on people’s Venmo transactions. Nothing judgy, just pure Yenta nonsense.
