If I live to be a thousand I still will not understand why the universe is like this. On top of everything else going on. Fuck cancer to the ends of the earth and back. Why can’t it target the monsters in this world, instead of the ones fighting them off? This is such bullshit dude

Liberal politicians aren’t betraying you they are agents of fascism If you believe they are your allies you will get fucked

Freedom of association means you cannot force people to stay in your life and do things for you after you treat them like shit. I actually am allowed to walk away from that at any time.

If this was designed to be yet another underhanded way of forcing poor people further out of the city, good job guys you did it

Names and addresses

I feel like I’m in my own personal hell, which is basically just being forced to watch this same scenario play out on repeat with different people

Unfriendly reminder that rape culture is an increasingly dangerous existential threat. I live in a country where, when I am almost invariably sexually assaulted yet again, my options have been reduced to the following: -try to press charges, navigating a legal system literally designed against us

It’s been reported that Gal Gadot’s Hollywood star had been vandalized only once, back in May. If anyone has any LA contacts, maybe pass that along? Zio’s should get no peace, and certainly no goddamn gold stars out in public.

Finally discovered how to watch YouTube on the tv without ads or paying, get ready to (continue to) never hear from me again 💅

They're fucking with a generation that already knows we have nothing to look forward to, and soon will have nothing to lose. If even Democrats (whose only strategy is to capitulate to fascism) are getting killed in their homes, what can we who want more expect? Imma die anyway. Why not fight back?

I understand Spoon more and more each day, if fucking sucks here I want off this ride too

My biggest regret that I will carry for the rest of my days is the fact that I saved my abusers life. I could, and should have just sat on my hands and let him die, but I didn’t and now he is free to carry on and harm other people.

Got our first $30 donation, so $30/$350! Let's keep it going! Please boost! Save a kitty!

As long as I’m still kicking, cybertruck drivers will never know peace

I’ve spent the past week trying to figure something out and I’ve started a GoFundMe. My unemployment is gone and I’m desperate for a way to pay bills for the next 2 months. It’s been a constant struggle to work and live since 2024 after a severe mental health crisis. Any help is greatly appreciated.

A lot of people in the US have kids simply because we are an embarrassing nation without healthcare, and it’s the only hope we have of someone caring for us in old age. I’m not having kids and I can’t afford to retire, so I don’t know what’s going to happen to me when I’m no longer useful to society

There’s a fuck ton of retirees on Macadam right now protesting Elon and his fascist bullshit

Unfriendly reminder that my best friend died by suicide in 2021 because it was failed by so many people and systems, and I am not ever going to shut up about it. Trans people need to be defended. Support disabled community members with more than words. People are not disposable. RIP Spoon 🥄 🥄🥄

the richest man in the world has decided that your kids don't deserve special education programs

Crying at these fking comments and dreaming of a day when the people realize that politicians will never save us

This image is originally from the cover of a 1983 edition of CLASS WAR, an old British anarchist newsletter. Honestly though it's never been more relevant. No war but class war.

A fascist jorked it today, did YOU? 🧐

I’m like if a chill guy had the nervous system of a prey animal

Every time I hear someone referring to “the next 4 years” I can’t help but roll my eyes a little. It’s not gonna be four years.

They should have started just putting lexapro in the water supply when we as a society decided that Bojack Horseman was peak entertainment

In my self-defense classes I focus on how most people are socially conditioned to follow the norms of a civilized, polite society — and there is a MENTAL SHIFT required to use violence to defend from violence. I'm reminded of this while watching our elected officials dithering and delaying. 1/

Fetlife acknowledging Black History Month more than the federal government was not on my 2025 bingo card 😐

CW: mention of victim of homophobic violence . . . . . . . I just learned that Matthew Shepard was only 5’2, and for some reason that detail in particular is heavy on my heart tonight.

This is getting an upgrade and will become @pdx.community very shortly

Do I know anyone around Pdx who would be down to chat in Spanish sometime? I’m getting super rusty and don’t want to lose it entirely

We are pawns to them.

Finally told them no, I will not be attending that wedding because the last time I saw your (grown) children they were laughing about kids being bombed in Ukraine. Blood is thicker than water; you have not been my family in a very long time.

Democrats and the media "must" must must must Okay. Anyway, given that they won't---that they have no will to resist and have built zero capacity to resist, and "law" is a silly illusion---the question is what can organize rank-and-file libs into preparing to actually resist in the coming world.

oh.

I hope this grief never leaves me

As a result of starting SW at 18 I found myself in an unfortunate amount of unsafe situations. I hope to use this experience to better the path for those that follow behind me. I have been working with a friend to relaunch @deadlybabes.org -- currently focusing on building a global collab network.

So wild to me how many people (mostly men, let’s be honest) will ask if you’re on birth control and then just be satisfied with a simple yes. If I had the ability to impregnate people, I would be asking hella follow up questions—there are so many different kinds of bc, and the type matters a lot.

PSA for whoever needs it: just because periods are common, does not mean they are not a big deal. You have no idea the pain, nausea, etc. that some people suffer through every few weeks. A little empathy goes a long way.

Divorced dads in my neighborhood stop setting off loud fireworks challenge level: impossible

Happy new year, sluts

you okay, babe? you've barely touched the 184 birds I gave you over the course of the 12 days of christmas

The goal of “sex work is work”, for me at least, is not to say “sex work is as ‘good’ as all other work”, but to say “all other work is as exploitative as sex work”
