Ok look white people from small families. I, a white man from a large southern family, am here to help you understand. Your parent's cousin has two potential titles depending on their age. If they're older than you, they are your aunt/uncle. If they are your age or younger, they are your cousin.

1800s Western New York religious revival but we gave them too much money and computing power is certainly a development I did not expect in school, but here we are!

One week. Cast your goddamn vote y'all. Up with Prop 50 in CA! Put Democrats in office if that's relevant to you in various other places! It's the simplest and easiest thing you can do. Oppose the Republican Party—that's the single moral imperative of elections right now.

The NY Times and WaPo may be lost causes but holy shite look at PEOPLE out here absolutely killing it with 100% unvarnished truths 🌟

This moment when it’s been going on for too long and everybody is exhausted and not thinking straight is the most entertaining part of baseball games, auto races, surgeries, and political campaigns.

Federal Judges— or staff, but same-same— used "AI" to summarize & draft rulings, issued them w/o checking the work, leading to basic factual errors, & thus undermining the facticity & validity of the rulings entire. Gee. Who Could Have Foreseen. *stares directly into the camera like in the office*

It's increasingly apparent that I am infact becoming Crystal Tipps

TL;DR: "everything, everywhere, all at once" needs to be Dem candidate recruitment policy for at least the next two election cycles, and really should be normalized into standard electoral strategy 7/7 @thefifthdeclension.bsky.social

Timothy Mellon of the famous Pittsburgh Mellon family is the one who provided $130 million to pay US military personnel. His views on social safety nets are that Democrats “buy” votes by providing government funds to pay for food for infants.

hiding behind the dumbest rationalizations or total silence when an entire group of Americans are denied some basic human right or level of participation in a society we're all supposed to belong to.

dare suggest some sort of organized boycott that would in any way deny them their March Madness, aka their "stories". As someone who never cared about any organized sport other than the Tour de France (mostly for the hours and hours of lovely scenery), it's just weird to see all these woke superfans

who validate their "I'm down with real Americans" street cred by constantly posting about last night's game & their brackets & the weakness of someone's "D"; the same people who'd be happy to call for a nationwide boycott Jo-Ann Fabrics or Tesla or some homophobic bakery in Missoula, MT, would never

One the early disappointments of the Trump 2.0 era was the NCAA caving in less than 24 hours to Trump's demand for a trans athlete ban, and ABSOLUTELY ZERO of all the liberal coded journalists, pundits, podcasters, cable news host and panelists, or influencers said a word of protest. The same folks

He also rightly pointed out that when the KY legislature passed the ban there was only one trans athlete in the whole state--a seventh grader kicked off the field hockey team she started www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

This book (recommended by the lovely @april.social) is absolutely destroying me.

Anyway, in short, men need to stop finding out that someone finds something annoying and then immediately doing that thing. It’s why when I’m benevolent dictator that’ll be an instant permaban from the internet. And no unaccompanied men outside after 7pm

There's something so delightfully perfect about the imagery of trump destroying the Whitehouse to build a tacky trump hotel or whatever bullshit he's doing. Although breaking with tradition for both the Whitehouse and Trump, there's a non-zero possibility of the workers building it getting paid.

....so you just have to beat the shit out of all of them, I guess. Darn.

If you're zip tying children in public you've done worse to them in private, I would stake my actual life on it

THE SISTERS OF DORLEY A closeted trans girl exploits an underground forcedfem organisation for free healthcare. CHAPTER 47 PART 1: AND JUST WHERE DID YOU BLOW IN FROM? This is the Patreon release of the first part of this chapter! (Because I’m going away a while.) www.patreon.com/posts/sister...

Fictional villains: my motivation involves a complex backstory around lost love and a deep yearning to be understood Real life villains: being cruel makes me feel like a big strong man

Assaulting and kidnapping people under a pillar of gift cards in a big box store shopping aisle. Armed men decked out in camo with a backdrop of orange adverts, concrete, fluorescent lights. Typifying this era of American fascism. Nothing that makes this possible can be allowed to stand.

Food banks need money if you’ve got it. For everything else, contact them and ask—some can take donated meat by hunters or eggs from backyard flocks, some can’t.

"It's not for me to say to people 'don't vote Labour because you're going to split the vote'. It's Labour's job to offer a better solution". Perfectly put. People are sick of being told there are only two options: bad or worse. join.greenparty.org.uk

You see these people at the 'Center for Faith' are sooooo happy for how you identify! They'd LOVE to validate your decision to be in a cishet marriage and pop out a lot of babies, who you'll teach to love Christ of course. You're so valid valid valid babe.

the acespec alloflex graysexual experience of marrying a man you hate being touched by because it's your duty to pop out kids is perhaps not as queer as advertised

Inventing a hundred microlabels in order to arrive at the exact same conclusion as the people who say "gay people can get straight married, they're not being discriminated against" or "you don't have to act on your homosexual desires" is a real 360 noscope slip on banana peel team kill moment

i am once again begging transsexuals to read. anything. just being trans does not make you magically smart and good at politics nor does it give you coherent political beliefs you gotta earn that shit manually like everything else

Just posted all of Season 1 of HALF SISTERS to my Itch.io page! It's free! Sofia (formerly Scott) is Mrs. Ferris' daughter, and her roommate in college is going to be Nikki, a former quarterback with a hormone disorder. At least that’s the cover story.

Today was a spectacularly long day

my amazing friend @emoryahlberg.bsky.social, who rendered the original designs for many of the Dorley characters, has returned to her model for Christine and rendered a new image that I am currently going FERAL over

@laurenlaverne.bsky.social seconding the motion that there is absolutely nothing wrong with wandering round your house listening to doo wop feeling swishy. #inkspotsFTW

No, Adam, it does not. Someone who wishes for my nonexistence is a fucking bigot and a fascist even if they dress it up in nicer words than the current fucking bigots and fascists. I am not acceptable collateral damage and neither is anyone else. We all get out together or we don't get out at all.

Fucking white cis dudes always real eager to tell people we need to let them step on us just a little bit longer and: absolutely the fuck not. Crawl back in your hole.

Something in the last few os updates for my mac means it stops being able to talk to the keyboard. It's really fucking irritating.

This is why I deleted my tumblr account. Do not miss it. I trust celebrities who wear "protect the dolls" shirts more than I will ever trust these terfs in ally clothing.

As trans people have been saying: These big name 'credible' corporate media institutions have been blatantly, willfully - despite being presented with mountains of evidence to the contrary - repeating lies about a vulnerable innocent population FOR YEARS! What else are they lying to you about?

Overnight in Houston in an attempt to stop the utter ugliness of removing the Montrose - an historic LGBTQi neighborhood - rainbow crosswalk.

I've also seen a couple "my wife is an evil shrew who hates sugar. I can secretly give my kids candy, right?" First: use your words, dipshit. Second: sure bro, teach your kids that it's cool for adults to tell them to keep secrets from their parents, what could go wrong Third: offer to trade.

I am so happy about this. I've voted LD for years and our local MPs are pretty normal/good. And Labour have never had a chance of getting in where I live. It's such a relief to have a politician actually demonstrating empathy in public. With practical solutions to make things better for people.

My mistake, you are correct! I generated the file, but I did not give you a download link — let me go get it for you [pretends to walk down stairs behind couch]

I love how nsfw content creators are being forced off social media platforms, but Ai adverts like "I'm about to fuck this horse but in the meantime follow this link for Roofing tutorials and supplies" are apparently ok

In the plotting for Dorley I’ve always tried to have it such that the clandestine organisations *rely* on the functional stupidity and laziness of the British state and its associated institutions. Largely because the story is also structured upon the state‘s transphobia—the two go hand in hand.

says something about labour that their best idea to attack reform is to do literally all the stuff reform wants to do rather than to go, yknow, "their leader is the face of the secondmost unpopular policy in britain after BritID"

The repeated demonstrations by political parties, police forces, media figures, etc. of just how lazy, naive, incompetent and reckless it is possible to be and still accumulate power have been illustrative for authors. Intricate plotting might be *fun* but it is now less believable than reality.

not to explain the female gaze to men but if you really want to get laid you need to get a kei truck
