I believe when we see what they've so far not released we will see a worldwide mental health crisis the likes of which we've never seen before. Please do what's best for your health, start putting together coping strategies, and check in on your loved ones. It's going to be a rough ride soon

The files help to explain why so many governments sit back and willingly let the average person suffer. It's not that we don't have the resources. It's not that if we build social safety nets that "lazy" people on mass will take advantage. The cruelty is the point. It is by design.

Imagine voting for him three times. What's that saying again "Fool me once, shame on the liberals" or something? I can't recall.

I think we have made a mistake in History class by not highlighting enough how fascists are pathetic dweebs who without any self awareness link their self worth to an ancestry fan-fiction to feel special. These are losers who idolize their forefather's "successes" while having none of their own.

These are scary times, and it's difficult to keep it together. However, I'm seeing how so many people are waking up. If you have empathy, know that you are not alone! Do what you can for yourself, your family, and neighbors. Look for and be the helpers.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Also we could have just believed 1000 women instead of going to war with Venezuela. That was an option.

Every member of Congress better be awake and working on actionable steps to stop these unconstitutional acts against Venezuela. I better see them with bags under their eyes tomorrow, because Venezuelan citizens certainly are not getting a good night's sleep.

The invasion of Venezuela is happening because a long line of do-nothing, I got mine, corrupt cowards refused to have any accountability. I will be surprised if Trump gets more than a finger wagging and a smug "He said he was a peace president" from our leadership as if that'll do anything.

Seeing the east wing being demolished for a ballroom while the government is shutdown, service members are going to food banks, and cattle farmers are being told to suck it... The government is really in its "Let them eat cake" era huh?

A win for truth and history: A National Park Service page(removed by Musk) on the Underground Railroad has been restored to prominently feature Harriet Tubman, after her image and quote were removed earlier this year. Now, her legacy as a fearless champion for freedom has rightfully been restored. ✊

I don't vote for people based on what they say they'll do. I vote based on what I imagined they'll do when I'm kicking my feet and writing in my diary ❤️

Correction: they are no longer eating the pieces in secret, they're doing it on live TV

On vacation in Florida and so far my favorite part has been the wildlife. Here's some photos I took of local birds. I've also seen some dolphins and gaters. Hopefully, I will get to meet some manatees soon ☺️

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

New: DOGE's spending has been secret. No longer. My colleagues have uncovered it. www.propublica.org/article/doge...

This is what they mean when they say "Put him in the contraption"

Hearing online/IRL talk about replacing teachers w/ AI Overheard a guy say "Teaching is easy", to hold teachers in such low esteem says a lot about their own intelligence I'll just say this, if teaching was just reciting info to kids all teachers would have been replaced w/ tape recorders long ago

As a palate cleanser from the news, what games are y'all playing and would recommend? I've been enjoying Project Zomboid 🧟 If you've ever discussed with friends your foolproof zombie apocalypse plan, put it to the test in this very unforgiving sim

🚨IMPORTANT: If you live in NJ Democrat Congress Member Josh Gottheimer bought Tesla stock after Elon's Nazi Salute on Inauguration Day! Josh is running for Governor. Hold him to task for speaking out against Elon, yet voting for him with his wallet! He is in DC rn, call his office @ (202) 225-4465

Pillaging Medicaid to pay for armored Teslas.

the usa is not real y’all are making it up

We used to be a real country

Pick a selfie. Turn it black and white.

Please hire me to be your town sorcerer. I can carefully place moss on rolling stones. I can tell townspeople what time it isn't. I can glue googly eyes to the tiniest of pinecones. I can try to convince squirrels to levitate.

Do you hate the proliferation of subscription paywalls, middlemen, and the decline of once useful search engines? I'm experimenting with adding a blog page to my website. If you are kind enough to read my first post, feel free to let me know your thoughts 😊 bethanyloy.com/experience-t...

The cyber truck crowd sure has a lot to say about wasteful spending

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

Girlboss, gatekeep, gaslight.

I want Balatro, but I'm afraid of how addictive it's going to be 🫠 I'm going to at least wait until I complete the audit at work lol

Looks like EA noticed the Sims 1 and 2 abandonware downloads 🤣

I hate it when my ailing king is usurped by his scheming foreign vizier

Pretty disgusting to blame people with disabilities for the recent aircraft crash. As I say to naysayers when talking to them about disability rights in regards to employment, "It's disability, not no ability."

Touch grass. Now touch stone. Now touch water. Now spill blood inside the glyph. Now light the brazier

Good thing the people in charge are too smart for chess and prefer the true thinking man's game of secretly eating all of the pieces

Remember when Musk first took over Twitter and he removed all of the safety rails and quickly realized why they were put there in the first place...? Wouldn't it be incredibly moronic if he and Trump were to try that failed strategy again, but with the entire US government?

Big diversity win! According to the new executive order defining sex as being determined at conception we are now all considered big beautiful women in the government's eyes. Sisters rise up! ✊♀️

Just wrote over a thousand words in a single sitting after months of writer's block. Not sure if it's anything that will see the light of day, but feels great to have the words flow like this again ☺️

MEDICAL JOURNAL ARTICLES SHOULD ALL BE OPEN ACCESS

Hot take (Apparently): Loving thy neighbor is good actually

🚨IMPORTANT🚨 tell congress to preserve services for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities! #disability www.votervoice.net/Shares/BOq_4...

Heavy is the book that has the words.

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

Happy New Year 🎊 I'm hopeful that 2025 will be a year of positive change and happiness! There will be a lot of doom and gloom in January, but for now let's celebrate. Tomorrow we can return to working on ourselves and our communities ❤️

ranma 1/2 is like there's this genderfluid guy literally just minding his own business while there are at least 10 other people playing ranked fuck-marry-kill where all 3 options are him

I don't know about anyone else, but Lord do I love stationary Cute post-it notes and journals scratch a certain itch in my brain

I love games that are so meta that a part of playing is messing with the game files and code Does anyone have any recommendations for more games that feature or offer this?

Sometimes you just have to tell yourself "I'll buy the game when the sale is over 20%" and walk away... Until you cave a week later for full price lol
