ah yes, because a polite “hey, don’t do that 🥺” has historically always stopped the iron march of fascism

we’re in the midst of civil war and i’m supposed to work as if everything is normal ???

i’ve been watching so much bob’s burgers that my inner voice is starting to sound like bob

apparently one of my old tiktoks on birding was on nbc news 💀

new (very millennial, 100% relatable) meme just dropped

This is a beautiful essay from @farahnazrishi.bsky.social on grief and what we carry with us. And birds. lithub.com/feather-by-f...

as a kid i always thought bad people in power were evil geniuses—otherwise, how else would they be in power? but no, most of them are just rich dunderheads who took power from people who let them. like spoiled rotten children.

this morning my kitten stole a (still wrapped) chocolate bonbon that was sitting on my office desk i finally just found it. upstairs. still wrapped. and sitting inside her empty food bowl. ?????

as someone who often stews in their anger and grief, i just want to remind you that if you’re in the same boat, reach out to your loved ones. talk to them. force yourself to, if you can. in moments of tragedy, we have to remind ourselves that good people are still out there, doing good things.

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

I don’t know what to say except that human beings deserve better than whatever this is

been having a rough time lately, but today at the grocery store, an adult man did a full-on bunny hop to move out of my way, all while having no change in expression. it was so wonderfully absurd, it made my whole week.

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

the fact that people still have to work despite what feels like the looming threat of WW3 is very fitting for our current capitalist hellscape

there are two kinds of people in this world: people who enjoy pineapple on their pizza, and people who despise joy and whimsy

yall Kelsey is seriously the best. i love this audiobook so, so much!!! 💕

i adore katseye, but if someone came up to me and said “haven’t you heard? i’m the internet girl” i would assume they’re a bot

when people defend US imperialism in my DMs, i have to fight the urge to pull a Ron Swanson and respond “i know more than you.”

People being like, "But Venezuelans are happy about Maduro being gone!" have the memories of goldfish. IN 2003, the narrative was that Iraqis celebrated the U.S. invasion and capture of Saddam. Whether they were happy or not, invading Iraq was still the wrong thing to do.

this country is so embarrassing. truly i do not think there has been a more embarrassing time to be an american, and that’s saying something.

*Childish Gambino voice* 🎶 This is America 🎶

Well that was a nice couple of hours of video games, now to take a look at the timeli- oh jesus christ

it’s not fair that we only get one playthrough at Life. i need at least 2-3 playthroughs to get comfortable enough with the game mechanics and explore all the areas i missed the first time 😭

oh yeah my book is out. it’s called the flightless birds of new hope. there’s a talking cockatoo and dysfunctional trio of siblings. it’s good fun. please buy it or check it out at your library so i can keep doing this thing. k thanks bye!! link: tr.ee/oJtqF98Eno

regardless of what anyone thinks, i can’t express how much it means to so many muslims that someone like zohran mamdani is the mayor of the biggest city in the united states. i never thought i’d live to see it.

The final Calvin and Hobbes, which appeared in papers 30 years ago today.

my goals for 2026 are: ✨get back into photography ✨do three pull-ups in a row ✨write hornier books please hold me* accountable 🙏🏼😌 *(or just hold me, because another goal of mine is to love harder!!!)

why is there a cafe advertising its new BELL PEPPER latte

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up. I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

people always say they wouldn’t want to be immortal and watch all the people they love perish, but all i can think about is how i could finally read all the books on my TBR list

eating cottage cheese and now i’m hearing charlie day in my head, asking “what is this enticing bowl of white?”

please let 2026 be the year everything harry potter fades into a fiery oblivion* *or is at least kept from my gaze

i think if your parents have a dog and they ever say no to something you want, you should be allowed to ask their dog (who, let’s be honest, will always give a resounding YES).

you better watch out you better watch out you betTER WATCH OUT 🎶 (merry chrysler, friends 💚)

muslims aren’t supposed to curse people, so i just really wanna thank all the etsy witches for doing their part

gonna bake a cake and watch The Muppets Christmas Carol 🤠

i think meeting a muppet would heal me

finally watched frankenstein last night and also got to teach my partner just how batshit the english romantics were finally, my college degree has been put to use

I worry that when a game company claims AI art assets are only “temporary placeholders,” but those assets make it into the final release, what’s really happening is a test of tolerance: seeing whether audiences will accept AI art in a finished product if it slips through quietly.

i love my partner for being both my biggest hype guy but also being brutally honest however i did take psychic damage when he finished reading the first chapter of my manuscript and gently asked, regarding a main plot point, “…so, can you walk me through why you think this makes sense?” 💀

my lyft driver, a younger indian guy, asked me where in the homeland i’d like to visit me: islamabad would be nice, but i really want to see the natural beauty in northern pakistan. maybe even kashmir. him: oh, so don’t you mean india? 😏 yall the colonizer mindset is terrifying

i’m feral!!!

The U.S. is giving dying mall vibes. I can't explain it, but you know I'm right.

finally hit a high g# in singing class today guess you could say i found the g spot *bows*

you ever eat something and think “i’m probably the only person who actually likes this crap.” that’s me eating those iced animal crackers.

i’m not even a former gifted child so i really have no excuse for being the way i am

when someone DMs me to tell me they actually liked my book, just know they have saved me from quitting everything and fleeing to the woods to become a recluse

Merriam-Webster’s human editors have chosen ‘slop’ as the 2025 Word of the Year.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides
