Standing perfectly still so I don't accidentally spend money

I’m coming to understand that maintaining hope is radical.

It’s my 20th ancient relic from each country in the #WorldCup. It’s GHANA 🇬🇭 This gold trophy head belonged to King Kofi Karikari of the Ashanti. These heads were made from the plentiful gold that still abounds in Ghana, beaten thin & moulded. They were war trophies and attached to warriors’ swords

Well, this is a masterpiece.

They always sound like this, don't they? /sputter sputter /illiterate drivel /spits out chunks of tongue

Someone has been projecting images all over D.C. “It’s swampier than ever.” The Kennedy Center one is pretty hilarious. 😂😂😂

3 seconds of googling tells me this is the New York gay men’s chorus at a get out the vote event but wouldn’t want that to get in the way of being a complete asshole towards anyone trying to actually do anything constructive

Sharon Farmer was the first Black woman hired as a White House photographer (1993). She was promoted to Director of the White House Photography Office in 1999, making her both the first woman & the first African American to lead the dept. She was born #OTD in 1951. #photography #photojournalism

SPOILER ALERT:

Tax cuts for billionaires came at a massive cost: our healthcare. Now 700 hospitals face closure because Medicaid was gutted to fund the wealthy. Your local ER and neighborhood care are on the line. 💔 #WeCantAffordTrump

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

Elon Musk accidentally revealing his mom's account is one of his alt's means that he has both impersonated his own infant child and mother online

A Harvard study just published estimates Elon Musk's destruction of USAID has already caused 600,000 deaths 2/3 of them children. That is his legacy in this world.

Good riddance.

I'm no university administrator, but "drove a car into a group of students peacefully trying to talk to him, then falsely claimed the students had blocked him in and were pounding on the car when they hadn't and weren't" feels like part of the sort of sentence that also includes "fired with cause"

Not disagreeing, but not sure how he's supposed to get it on with Claudia. I try not to kink-shame and as sexually provocative as I like to think I am...

Heeey, it's the day! You can especially only repost this one today!

Unconscionable !! The Department of Homeland Security just bulldozed a 1,000-year-old archaeological site in Arizona. The 200-ft intaglio—an enormous ground carving painstakingly etched into the desert floor over generations—was ripped apart for wall construction. DHS knew exactly what they 1/2

English writer Mary Wollstonecraft was born #OTD in 1759. Best known for her book, 𝘈 𝘝𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘙𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵𝘴 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘰𝘮𝘢𝘯 (1792). It is a foundational text for feminism that argued for equal education and rights for women--challenging the notion of female inferiority. #literature #litsky #booksky

It’s surreal how much 2010s popular culture sucked up to him in hindsight. It’s like Hitler got a cameo in Iron Man 2.

People talking about how suspicious it was that the Secret Service botched security for last night. Did you think Trump was going to gut every single department he could, and not somehow wreck the Secret Service too?

Things I've never done: Never ordered anything on Amazon Never played a home video game (tried Pac-Man back in the arcade days) Never had a Substack Never posted on Reddit Never watched Frazier, Friends, The Sopranos, Lost, etc. Never voted Republican Am I winning?

Here's the bingo card that will be passed out to attendees at the WHCA dinner to track President Trump's anti-speech rhetoric during his address. media.freedom.press/media/docume...

How is it that every single person on this platform seems to have absolutely fuck-all idea what the The White House Correspondents Dinner was established to do and mean? Everyone seems to think trump is hosting and they're all "partying with him." No one is partying with the asshole.
