This week on CZM! 💣🍫🔍

Give me a cheddar so sharp and aged that it cuts me and salts my wound.

And still well meaning people won't leave. "It's the only way I keep in touch with..." with who, Sharon. I understand, there's no alternative.

Another day, another Onion headline I was perfectly prepared to believe until I realized.

Today's random Gen X memory lava that's bubbled to the surface: youtu.be/x1AqzpKnotA?...

Sometimes i get sad at those “I wanted to look up what kind of horse pulled medieval wagons It’s three hours later and playtex bra sewers made spacesuits i have a problem” no. No, you don’t. Hydrate and get back in there

You don't realize how much you smile until you wear an Eeyore costume to a Halloween party.

You know how you grew up in the 80s and are minding your own business and then remember something trivial that scarred you for life? Content warning, gross fatphobia m.youtube.com/watch?v=dmHr...

I should have gotten that library science degree.

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

the ANA (American Nurses Association) has a chance to do some leadership as the fascist government develops. Nurses should not participate in criminalization of mental illness (etc), and nursing orgs need to publicly take that position. Nurses should not work for this government.

If you read one thread today, this week, this month. Let it be this one:

MoCo -- The County Animal Shelter in Derwood is looking for short term fosters as their AC is not functioning correctly (and it is already quite gross outside). Per their FB page, they especially need people to take larger dogs, over 40 lbs. Call them at 240-773-5900 from 12-7.

It's not about the judges. It's about the enforcers. Yes, get how evil it is on record, but people will carry out whichever orders they decide to.

@seejanemarie.bsky.social thinking of you (and the Dream) as I watch this amazing episode of Murder, She Wrote. tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwik...

I often say I have no regrets, but I regret never having met Mike Nesmith.

Feel like yelling, but less into the void? donmoynihan.substack.com/p/last-day-t...

USAID kids explain how the destruction of USAID effects them: (particularly chilling that they fear for being identified and bringing additional targeting by their own government) www.youtube.com/watch?v=rr9J...

Today, I plan to unapologetically and proudly stay on the big cushion, and I may engage BOTH a tiny and a big computer. In the least productive way possible to be clear.

I got shit pictures at Deathfest all weekend but I got snowed on by Imperial Crystalline Entombment and learned I just fucking love bands that wear masks.

Pretty much every one of these “stop demanding basic respect or people will vote for Tr*mp” pieces was rebutted thoroughly in 1963 from Birmingham Jail.

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.

Happy May 1st. The value of your labor belongs to you and the actions of the state are best understood as as a coordinated effort to distract you from this. The state fears an organized and unified proletariat like it fears death and rightly so. Power to the workers and power to the people

My brain's reaction to existential dread in 2025 is to play 90s hit "Who got the hooch" on repeat for weeks after never hearing it or thinking about it for 25 years.

Every successful resistance movement in history has always utilized a compliment sandwich when dealing with authoritarian leaders

Dear god let this man cook.

NNU nurses are in DC today to say: Cuts to Medicaid and Social Security are death sentences for our patients. This isn’t about “waste.” It’s a plan to break public care and sell it off to billionaires. We won’t let them. www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

One fun thing about being raised atheist in America is that 45 years later, you can have a real dumb Jesus song pop into your head because your parents were cheap, so they sent you to vacation Bible camp.

Good morning. Woke up thinking, again. How many more days of this? The thinking?

Ongoing demonstrations against ICE being called in #Baltimore, #Maryland.

People need to be hearing about this shit every single day. Zoom in on literally anything here.

Oof, this is what i was trying to say on LiveJournal in 2001.

I woke myself up screaming "IT'S NOT FUNNY". Went back to sleep and dreamed I was watching my friend untangle a ball of cats. Wtf brain

“BRING HIM HOME” 🔥

Hey pals! I got a request from a lovely reader (hi Danene!) looking for some guidance and thought I’d crowdsource some answers from fellow fats. Fellow fats: what are the most meaningful ways (big or small) that non-fat friends have shown up for you?

There’s a saying that you should never ascribe to malice what can be explained by incompetence, but the thing that saying misses is just how truly bad it is when it’s actually both malice AND incompetence

New hobby just dropped

MAGA fascists nevermore/ just get out of Baltimore,” the crowd at the law school chants across from Poe’s grave as they protest Kevin Roberts’ speech and Project 2025 this evening, which is also International Day of Trans Visibility

"Do you have the time To listen to me" NO

I attribute my success to all the times I've picked up lucky pennies and thrown salt over my shoulder.

"This is some of the finest journalism I've read in the Trump era so far," says @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @motherjones.com's reporting on the Trump admin deporting people to El Salvador, and in one case, over an autism awareness tattoo.

In a targeted attack on his car, Israel has killed Al-Jazeera's Hossam Shabat, who was only 23 years old and was one of the last remaining journalists in Gaza. There are no words.

I'm gonna "trigger warning" the following post bc I'm a coward. It will be in the reply. It's a photo of incarcerated men in Dachau vs today in El Salvador. OP argues we all need to be looking directly at this, & I agree, but to be safe in case any of you are having a particularly fucked day.

The comments 👨‍🍳😘

The people with the guns who do this stuff for a living are on board, and that's all they need. In case you thought there was some homeland security ice hero cop who was going to stop this from the inside. There isn't, and they are all on board.

Someone pointed out that influencers use serotonin/dopamine/cortisol/oxytocin like they’re the four humors and now I can’t stop seeing it
