I have lived in many countries and every single one is "just like us." The food, clothes, and traditions might be different, but every country is full of people who just want to live ordinary, peaceful lives and pursue their passions. And every single one has issues with terrible people in power.

*mutter* That annoying discovery that one of your own character would be tapping his foot and looking down his mask at you.

Hi all, its your friendly neighborhood retired therapist here to remind you that the horrors persist and so do we! Have you: -had a glass of water or something liquid that is not caffeinated recently? -used any calming or grounding techniques you like? -eaten a food? If not, do that now. 💜

You are currently averaging over 10,000 calls per hour on 5 Calls (!!!) to demand your reps rein in Trump and his catastrophic threats. 🔥📞🔥

we had four years where we didn’t have to wake up and immediately check the news to see what new nightmare the president has threatened to inflict on the world every morning and 77 million people voted that we should have to do that again and I will never get over it

genuinely think people outside of America don't realize how big this place is, how militarized and murderous our police are, how little our politicians care, how disconnected and impoverished we have been intentionally made to be, how we still have slavery just with extra steps. we really suck gang

Please keep picking fights on here with strangers you already agree with 99.9% of the issues on. It's going to finally end the horrors this time if you post just right

happy international asexuality day to me and my fellow asexuals

This is Milka. She'll get around to chasing her tail eventually. But for now she is just getting to know it. 12/10 (TT: milka_collie5)

i wonder if AOC’s early clashes with the democratic establishment PLUS the unhinged reaction to her from republicans have given her some of the “both sides hate her so she must be Independent” vibe that goes a long way with low propensity voters

ICE never left Minnesota. ICE never left Chicago. ICE never left New York City. ICE thugs are right now today terrorizing and kidnapping and raping and torturing people all over our country. Don’t stop talking about it. Don’t stop protesting it. Stay awake. Stay safe. Keep your neighbors safe.

THEY TRAINED THE AI ON ACTUAL WRITERS. YOU CANNOT TELL IF SOMETHING IS AI SIMPLY BASED ON IT USING PROPER GRAMMAR. IT STOLE FROM US!!! IT STOLE!!! IT IS A THIEF AND I WILL NOT EVER BE QUIET ABOUT IT!!!!

Happy International Asexuality Day folks!! Julia Sondra Decked coined the term “invisible orientation “ to refer to asexuality in 2012, and this still very much applies even today, almost 14 years later, especially in regions outside North America and Western Europe.

Happy Asexual Awareness Day to all my fellow Aces 🥳 🖤🩶🤍💜

the second journalists started holding back stories to preserve access they fucking surrendered their souls forever

google gemini suggested emails are saving me hours of work per week and now I'm finally productive enough to put the gun all the way in my mouth instead of chickening out at the lips

When ads came to ChatGPT, users were mad — those who had been using it as an editor or therapist suddenly saw ChatGPT as vulnerable to manipulation by brands and marketers. The reality is that it was happening the whole time. I wrote about the new SEO gold rush: www.theverge.com/tech/900302/...

this srsly has to be bait, bc the answer’s so obviously YES. both audiences and the workers would love this & benefit from it for multiple reasons.

Nobody who gives a wet shit about human life (outside of their own and maybe family/cronies) would ever be in Trump's cabinet.

It’s their day too.

Reminder that Gen AI is a tool of facism. They do not care about trans rights, they do not care about empowering disabled people, they do not care about the evolution of humanity or the creative process. They care about money. End of.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Someone once told me: "You can't be mad that your younger self didn't know better because what you know today, you didn't know back then." Damn.

okay where's the best parties for 17776 day on Tuesday?

hypocrisy. characters feel at their most alive when they give advice they'd never follow, think one thing and do another, or display two contradictory beliefs without noticing. too many characters out there are *consistent* in a way humans aren't

“idk why people don’t realize writing is a skill and to be a good writer you just have to practice” every time you guys find bad writing on fics people wrote as a hobby, you make fun of it publicly and complain on main nonstop. no wonder nobody wants to practice.

Regular people showing up in huge numbers to shut down data centers absolutely bangs and is another one of those times when I'm like, we can disarm the nukes, we can end war, we can save endangered species, we can stop this shit, we can do anything.

YOU - What is beauty? KLAASJE (MISS ORANJE DISCO DANCER) - “When you have the fewest deviations from the norm. I've been told it's a type of mediocrity that I possess.”

when i become mayor your penis will not dissappear inside of your balls whenever you sit down . That will not happen anymore

"post something random or you'll have an absolutely awful April"? no. you are safe now. Forever Immunity Dog has got you covered.

“obsessions are never good for you” ok but have you ever liked a fictional character so much that every single song you listen to is about them somehow?

"Never forget" in this situation means keeping track of every person who broke the law, assaulted others, and trampled civil rights because they believed they would be protected from accountability. It's crucial that they prove them wrong. Every one of them.

I’d rather have nice safe emotions about shows on the entertainment media; having them about things real-life humans said and did just led to stupid decisions.

Them: This is not what I voted for Me: Oh so are you going to make some kind of reparation? Will you give money to an organization that helps immigrants or women, maybe a food bank that serves POC, or even just commit to not voting for his enablers again? Them: Not if that's what you want

It turns out that simple accommodations, such as quiet spaces, flexible scheduling and written instructions, aren’t special privileges. They often make the workplace better for everyone, writes Julie Green.

We need you help this petition needs your signature ✍️ let’s show the government we’re still here and we’re not going to lay down and roll over while they and the media attack us 💚 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/76...

If you really want a hot take from me this morning it’s this: stop being so willing to accept this as the end of the world. The people out here apocalypsemaxxing or whatever they’re calling it are actively benefiting from your willingness to let them paint what is happening as inevitable.

Every year we celebrate April Fools by not posting. You're welcome.

good post

Happy TDoV, have a pic of Girlmode Ranma hatching from an egg that predates the literal Trans flag

Commentary: Anyone Else Have Those Weird Dreams Where Sobbing Future Generations Beg You To Change Course?

Please boycott any and all sporting events held in the US, I am begging you. If not because our government is full-on fascist, then for your own safety. Yes, even if you're white. That hasn't stopped ICE from snatching/killing people.

I got banned from twitter in 2023 for this drawing. They called it "violent speech". It had over 40K likes and too many comments for me to read before my ban, but I still see it floating around here and there. Save a copy, and use it freely. No attribution needed. Love u #transdayofvisibility #tdov
