Gonna go even further: don't refer to it as "consuming media" when doing this. You aren't a consumer - it's not a product. You read books. You look at art. You watch movies and/or videos. Be careful about word choice. Reject "consume" and REJECT "CONTENT." IT IS ART. YOU ARE ENGAGING WITH ART.

here's a blistering hot take: as much as we joke about "detransitioning from a haircut," cutting your hair short is a significantly more irreversible (in the short term) process than taking hormones for a month. You're not getting the hair back without time, but stopping a short HRT regimen? Easy.

Unfortunately if the rapture IS tomorrow I doubt any of the “Christians” in our govt are invited so everything will stay exactly the same

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

DETROIT WITH IGGY POP! MPLS WITH SLEATER KINNEY!!! AUG 2026 LETS GOOOOOOO

Apropos of nothing in particular, here's Walt Disney's testimony to HUAC in 1947, where he named employees he believed were communists, condemned labor unions, and accused "commie" groups, including the League of Women Voters, of smearing him. 🗃️ archive.org/details/walt...

This is the vibe I wish to bring to the function.

Most Americans don’t know that the U.S. violently colonized the Philippines in 1898, through 1946. An estimated 600k Filipinos were killed in the years after U.S. annexation, to crush resistance to colonial rule.

this exists it is called thinking

george lucas made a three film opus about how a combination of tariffs, incels, and anxiety would give rise to fascism and we all made fun of him smfh

"what is their obsession with trans people even about" cuz trans people are the free-est motherfuckers on earth! they don't want the rest of y'all getting any ideas about having control over your own fucking destiny!!

Real talk: if they are going to start criminalizing trans people, at what point do I have to close my business?? We are a very out and proud trans owned bookstore!

We're at 71%, and I am in grateful awe of the generosity folks have shown me and my boy. ❤️ I know there's no shortage of need going around. I'm not here to try to guilt-trip anyone for money. Every little bit really does help - and every share. Thank you so much.

it's also really important to spread the "this is illegal" message as far as you can because the majority of people are not exposed to it! most people do not even know the government is doing the illegal thing it's doing, let alone that it's illegal. when they learn about it they get mad!

a real mensch

Only 16% of you are reading for pleasure? I know there's a lot of entertainment out there, but reading can help you take yourself out of the world where everything's on a screen. And make good things happen inside you. So renew that library card & get cracking.

future children in history class are going to love studying our era because everything about it will look so stupid to them “oh so they took all the serious bad things from past eras, and then redid them, but like clown shit?” yes

The other day this person was in the store buying just tons of books lol it was her birthday and had a budget. asked me what my favorite book that I’d read in the last five years was, wouldn’t let me ask any other clarifying questions or prevaricate on genre or anything—just bought it. Queen shit.

And it would have been fine if he had criticized Kirk because he was a bad guy and saying so is neither illegal nor vulgar.

Conventional Weapons really had some great songs, I know this is unpopular but Boy Division is so gay and great!

Really getting a kick out of Karl Rove and Tucker Carlson being like "OK now THIS is too far." Enjoying the world you built, you fucking shitbags? I didn't think they were capable of feeling any guilt about the part they played in creating this monster but maybe they are human beings after all.

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

This looks like a still from one of The Conjuring movies

ah, well

Every day there’s more absolute WTFery

Like, I just want to post about videogame nonsense and my stupid soccer shenanigans and fun, happy stuff, but every time I look up it’s “The government has cancelled free speech” or “JD Vance jokes about murdering fishermen” or “Donald Trump has declared war on the moon” and I dunno man. Shit sucks.

Jimmy Kimmel, former host of The Man Show, welcome to The Resistance

Everyone knows the Edmund Fitzgerald’s pronouns are “was/were”

I think Kai Ashante Wilson is one of the best writers, I’ve been itching for an announcement like this!!!!

This is especially meaningful from Coates because (as far as I have ever been able to tell) he just doesn’t have meanness in him. Not even playful overly-online meanness. At at his most unsparing he is almost uncannily gentle and empathetic. Like a Low song or something. Don’t lose that ever

Tfw you get a fic idea and do not have the time or ability to write it

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

Went to ihop drunk at 4am and asked them to make the pancakes Evil. Maybe one of the best escapades I’ve Ever been on LMFAOOOOO

If I ever win the lottery, I feel like this would be a really good thing to do with some of the money. The right EIC would be key, as would having enough $ to be ad-free the first year to build a readership.

O U C H

jokes about the confederacy are always funny, but you gotta think about it in terms of "Supernatural lasted 5x longer than the Confederacy", which is absolutely hysterical

this entire decade is semiotics hell.

My hyper-acquisitive 6yo is super into getting Happy Meals and so now she has a tiny collection of BTS dolls (RM, Jin, and V). Feeling very fannish-adjacent about it.

this is, hands down, the best video I've seen on men's influencer content and it's not close either

Welp turns out that mcr is still emotionally load bearing for me

A lot of Minnesota has been thinking about this.

I don’t know who these people are, but it’s well said.

Oh to be a little Tardigrade scratching its back on a bubble. 🫧🐻🧪

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

Every outlet covering any of this stuff needs to have somebody who actually knows conservative American religion and somebody who actually knows weird conservative internet shit. See in here how they not just overlap, but also collide

millennials are band directors now and I think that’s terrific

So @dc.com pulled Red Hood from digital storefronts but you can still buy all of Sandman. The lesson here is that DC doesn't care if you sexually assault women, but don't you dare make fun of a dead fascist.
