My sister forgot the word “grass” and called it yard hair so that is how we reference any grass when it is getting long and needs to be cut

I was fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. proteanmag.com/2025/11/01/w...

Having crazy parents is such a trip, I have spent all day trying to convince my nervous system that my mom is not going to yell at me and I don’t live in the same house as her anymore. My nervous system remains unconvinced.

It is 2:30 pm and I have already had such a disaster of a day

I’ve followed this story for its absurdity and as an illustration of how police lie and bully the public they are supposed to protect. Only after national media attention do they withdraw a case of accusing a woman of something she can’t possibly have done… cbs12.com/news/local/f...

Picking out new books on the Libby app has become basically another hobby for me. I like to scroll and read descriptions and add them to my lists.

The Economy being good means nothing to me because it's a measure of how confident assholes feel in their line going up, and everything they do to make the line go up hurts me and devastates everyone who's doing worse than me. This isn't fucking rocket surgery.

so like lemme weigh in on this as someone who is more financially comfortable than many in my generational cohort: everything I have gained seems precarious and temporary because I know the people with real money will take it all from me the second they get an opportunity and no one will protect me.

The Squamish people of what is now Vancouver were illegally dispossessed of their land 100 years ago. They sued, got the land back, and used their sovereignty to ignore local zoning and build 6,000 new homes over the loud objections of nearby wealthy NIMBYs. Now other tribes are getting in the game.

I love him

Happy Memorial Day, my great grandfather did not survive the pacific theater for me to lick a boot, fascists shall not prevail.

Apparently it’s called a “psychiatric medication injury” if you’re a prominent conservative who’s addicted to benzos

They key to developing a lap cat is the autistic desire to sit in one place for many hours and not move. Cats and autistics thrive on routine.

I miss my grandfather.

The thing my grandfather always asked when he asked how you were doing was “are they being nice to you” and I’m only recently realizing how important that was to me

Dealing with older people who lack comprehension skills is so frustrating. I just had to explain to my 76 year old grandmother that her health insurance is in fact a Medicare advantage plan and she is in fact using her Medicare every time she receives healthcare.

It is 9:17 AM and I’ve already been asked if I am a robot

I have now made two different purple tanks for warhammer 40k which I do not play but my best friend does. Hit me up if you want me to paint your model tank purple I guess.

Allegheny County-posting: Pat Catena should continue to suffer for being a bigot, losing his house primary is a good start. It is important to inflict consequences on anti-trans people.

Voters sent a clear message tonight about protecting trans kids and rejecting the politics of hate. Congrats Brittany.

How annoyed am I going to be trying to watch the NOS4A2 tv show after finishing the book last month

It’s not just The Classics. I don’t wanna read modern Literature either! Life is hard and sad and we get a daily dose of the realities of The Human Condition and real life horror stories and if I’m gonna sit down with a book I just wanna to smile and have my heart warmed.

I put the cat toys up to sweep the floors and Gatsby just climbed on top of the small cat tree to bap one of the balls onto the floor and watch it roll away

A patient just told me he appreciates my personality so at least I have that going for me

It really sucks that everyone is broke except the nine worst people in the world.

It’s kind of rude that the cats can’t tell me happy Mother’s Day since I spend a significant amount of my free time and money making sure they have an excellent life

My problem with democrats refusing to say genocide and instead saying “I think what has been done to the Palestinian people has gone too far” is that it implies there’s a medium level of killing Palestinians that is reasonable.

I don't only think that college should be FREE but I think young people should also receive living stipends while in school. Finally, I do not care what they major in because education needs to actually BE DECOUPLED from a future job. You are welcome. You should have 4 years to study anything.

Class in the US is entirely a matter of aesthetics now. Rich suburban kids are “country”. Beard Dudes who look like they love IPAs are “working class.” Teachers who make $32,000 a year but have to dress up sort of nice in JCPenney clothes are “elites“. None of these words mean anything anymore.

Even looking at the options for the student loan payment plans is overwhelming

Duquesne light is plotting my demise

what if instead of prohibiting teenagers and paying private security firms & cops on overtime to monitor entry to otherwise public spaces we invest our resources in creating new spaces for teenagers to go and hang out?

Having OCD is so embarrassing I had to tell my therapist that I was afraid she would die giving birth and ask her to text me an update so I know she did not die before she comes back from maternity leave

The animated Anastasia film created an impossible standard for sparkly dresses that I am still trying to acquire today

I miss my grandfather.

Hollywood has developed a collective eating disorder based around a particular set of medications that almost no one in Hollywood needs, and the result is that a lot of beautiful people now look like they're dying, and culturally, this is going to be so phenomenally destructive, esp for young ppl.

happy may day! every right you have as a worker was written in blood ❤️

Yeah the rotisserie chicken amendment is neat! Unfortunately it was attached to the Farm Bill which locked in $187 billion in cuts to SNAP. So, yes, now SNAP can be used for rotisserie chickens but more importantly, this bill means red tape, cuts & tons of people losing access to food completely.

Focus

That cancelled TV show you’ll never stop thinking about?

Today’s vibe

But do I have to pay all 3,000 eels at once or is there a payment plan? Does the payment plan include eeltrest?

My sister got stuck on a trolley that was stuck behind another trolley that was stuck behind a broken trolley. We do not have the infrastructure for this draft nonsense

with zero sarcasm this is good government and we should do this immediately
