current mental state is emotionally destroyed by the song zb1 released this morning

We hope you've gotten time these past days to slow down and spend time with people you love — and to reflect on what 2025 has meant for you. We rounded up several stories that had real-world impact for D.C. communities, helping to make the year meaningful for us.

What alleviates the bitterness of these days and the hardship of life is the presence of honorable people like you, capable of stopping the oppression of men. We need you and your help. 30$ can bleese the kids. Stand with us tinyurl.com/Savehanykids

Israel kicking a bunch of NGOs out and forcefully deregistering them… now where have we seen this before

happy new year everyone ♥️

also here’s my cat bc I’ve been neglecting bluesky and everyone needs more pippin

2025 has been a horrible year and I suspect 2026 is going to be even worse (very high chance I’ll be unemployed after June 😔) BUT it did have some high moments. notably I went to 5 concerts! baekhyun x2 (newark & LA), oasis (LA), purple kiss (DC), & key (chicago).

well folks there’s nothing interesting happening in my life but I’m on my second heated rivalry watch now and I have a bunch of Thai GLs lined up afterwards

Yo @safety.bsky.app are you all just deleting every single account from Gaza on sight? Because this person hadn’t even heard of Bluesky when I started talking to her- made an account yesterday and made ONE POST. She’s a published journalist by the way.

Lexi Alexander, a Palestinian activist, has been suspended from Bluesky, again This is not the first case where Pro-Palestinian voices are suspended from the platform with no reason at all! I have emailed @support.bsky.team 👇 Stop the censorship! ‼️

my videos are soooo muffled??? like this venue was LOUD but anyway. TOUR WITH LIVE BANDS ‼️

pretty sure key ruined me for future concerts… how do you top that…

why did I let my friend talk me into staying near the airport… it’s so far from the venue omg

So @ahmadjohary16.bsky.social has a spam label- his wedding is next week and he’s very upset by this and is hoping people will advocate to Bluesky on his behalf to get it removed ❤️

$330 for a catsitter for not even 6 full days over Christmas… plus my flight to NC that I booked late so all the prices were like 2x what they normally are… I don’t even wanna go

genuinely imagining worst case scenarios right now where I can’t get to Chicago for key this weekend due to the weather 😩

reading nothing but fanfic for the last 3 months and loving it

Jeff Buckley documentary had me in my feelings and then Chris Cornell appears on it and it’s like double sadness.

Evil shit! "According to the sources, the RSF attacked the kindergarten on Thursday and then returned to target civilians who had gathered to offer assistance amid the carnage. The city’s hospital and a government building were also bombed." www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12...

most random photo I’ve seen in a long time????

ragebaiting my cat bc he keeps messing up my cord organizer and trying to chew everything

he’s ready for me to get into bed now

@kdc.bsky.social getting excited for key??? I hope we meet up!

I’m so detached from reality that I’m choosing to believe this WakeOne announcement about ZB1 is buying time for a long-term extension and YH won’t ask for their trainees back 😀 It’s fun in lalaland

Please help the Moudi family get warm winter clothes chuffed.org/project/a-cr...

chuffed.org/project/157281 Ahmad is struggling to get donations, please help him out him & his family need us to avoid freezing to death with winter around the corner🙏🍉 @mommunism.bsky.social @lillywachowski.bsky.social @lexialex.bsky.social @nora.zone

anyone want to see my cat

Reminder that I released a book this year, about a girl who finds a secret portal to Seneca Village in Central Park, and has to solve a magical mystery! I think it could be a lovely holiday gift :) You can order wherever you buy books or at my local indie, BAM booksaremagic.net/item/jpo2KjG...

3 infant #pertussis deaths this year in Kentucky. "Of the three infant deaths reported over the past 12 months, all three were not vaccinated, nor were their mothers." We first tested maternal vaccination for whooping cough over 80 years ago. It's safe & effective & might have saved these babies.

Breaking: Viola Ford Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, has died. She was 111 years old

anyway in happy news this is genuinely one of the prettiest songs I’ve heard in a long time and I’m not just saying that bc zhang hao is singing it… chinese osts are so beautiful open.spotify.com/album/445Ysk...

I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

bluesky has been genuinely worse about witch hunts against Palestinians than twt but with this location “reveal” feature there now… congrats bluesky you’re finally back in second place

my “cold” has turned into full blown sinus infection because of course it has

and what’s frustrating about this is that because it’s the “common cold” that most people get at some point, people really do not understand how sick you can get. bc they’ll just drink some theraflu, miss a day of work, and then be back to normal in 3 days

you know an underrated aspect of living with an autoimmune disease is that even the “common cold” feels like the flu. like i get sick way more often and intensely than i used to and the symptoms are harsher and last longer too. nothing is ever just like… oops it’ll be gone in 2 days!

Brave, funny, loving, shameless, compassionate, horny, and in solidarity with everyone fighting a good fight: Alice Wong was the example of how to live your life. Live it in such a way that people around the world gush about how much they loved you when you pass. Alice knew how to live!

This is the first page of The Viral Underclass. I am so glad I got to give her a signed copy and that I also got to send her a copy of the Chinese translation when it was published. She was so excited to see her words translated into Chinese.

Alice could not eat food for years. And yet at Christmas she would bake cookies and mail them to me—such was her desire to provide care for the people she loved.

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

watching as people cross an active Starbucks picket line (which is currently chanting “don’t cross our picket line”) even tho there are literally two other coffee shops directly across the street??? What do you think it feels like to be evil
