With arms linked and snow falling, Minneapolis ICE protesters dance as ICE agents retreat back. "Nah nah nah, hey hey hey, goodbye!" WATCH ⬇️

We don't need him to stand up to Trump, we need him to stand up for trans people, Palestinians, the unhoused, and everyone who isn't a billionaire. Until then, he's just another insipid American "liberal."

One of my favorite things about Starfleet Academy is how the Betazoid youth talk in slightly out of date slang. It's freaking adorable.

Thank you, Starfleet Academy, for reminding me that we have to fight for the future we want and that technological progress is nothing without social progress. And that I can sit in a chair any damn way I want to.

"ADHD is a superpower!" Yeah, I love how I can be having a good day and then one little frustrating thing can throw my emotions out of whack and I spend the rest of the day on Crashout Cliff, trying to not go over the edge. What a fun superpower!

What if we let people wear clothes, makeup, jewelry that made them happy and we shut the fuck up about age, body, gender and every other thing because it's none of our business and JUST LET PEOPLE ENJOY THEMSELVES.

@sasscarpone.bsky.social You were in a dream I had last night. You had a booth in a shopping center where you gave free information and supplies to women dealing with cancer.

Do other people with #ADHD struggle with not taking it personally if someone you're talking to responds with much less energy than you're giving out?

I don't generally make new year's resolutions but I do want to try to hang out with friends IRL more. Not necessarily doing anything big, just...hanging out together.

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

Today was a really bad social anxiety day, BUT...I still never doubted that the people who tell me they care about me do actually care about me. Somehow my anxiety wasn't able to touch them. It feels very fifth season Stranger Things, in a good way.

The first rule of pulling off a successful caper: you have to have a really good bassist playing in the theme music.
