A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

This is so fucking funny. Followed by several seconds of black screen, mind you.

I’m sad I missed watching Heated Rivalry with everyone in real time while I was away. This show is currently occupying every crevice of my brain.

i just remembered that this app exists. hey y’all, hope everyone’s doing well

I feel like we as a society don't talk enough about the overwhelming trauma of capitalism.

My goodness. Please don’t send in ghosts. They are very frightening. We only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: theodore.goldenvelt)

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

There are 37 donors funding the $300 million build of the new White House ballroom. Unsurprisingly, Amazon is on that list. But you know who isn’t? Independent bookstores. And this is why it will *always* be bookstores over billionaires. ✊

where’s my nobel peace prize for keeping my mouth shut

Bluesky taught me the joy of blocking. I block people everywhere now. I just blocked an ex boyfriend on duolingo. I can't stop.

This may sound extreme but I am getting tired of watching white men dismantle things that are important to me for no clear reason besides that they can

calling 911 to report that the body I'm in is definitely not mine

✨i’m angry at the government and my tummy hurts✨

No matter how hard fascists try to suppress the truth, they still can't force reality to conform. Queer, trans, and intersex people will still exist. The climate will still change. Diseases being ignored will still persist. Capitalism will still be unsustainable. And their lies will still be lies.

I really wish people would stop talking about autistic people (like me!) as a “risk” instead of a neutral and naturally occurring subset of humanity who get born mostly because other autistic people exist in our bloodline. It’s really exhausting. We’re human and ✨can hear you.✨

Not familiar with the Mets but their gala looks wild

it’s like, i want the country road to take me home and i’d love to be in a place where i belong, but is that really west virginia?

Anybody asking what anybody else’s five year plan is right now needs to prosecuted

quoth the raven “demi moore”

music u liked when u were 13 is good, especially when there's no bitch in ur ear telling you to be ashamed

I locked in for an assignment, but I forgot to turn on Focus Friend. I could’ve had so many socks.

This has been the longest week of my life, and it’s somehow only Wednesday. Send help.

Unsurprising but horrifying. Wherever there are people forced into crowded living conditions, there will be tuberculosis. Wherever people are dehumanized, there will be tuberculosis. prospect.org/health/2025-...

I'm so excited for fall. I can't wait to be sad but with pumpkins.

We had such a great time at the US #TBHillDay in April we're taking it up north!🇨🇦 Join us for the #LeadOnTB Advocacy Day on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Sept 25, 2025: bit.ly/LeadOnTB

Hey folks, haven’t gotten any donations today, so we’re still at $100 out of $450 needed—- any amount helps—- TYIA to those donating, boosting, or sharing 🫶

It’s good to remember there are still people out there doing the right thing.

are there people who like having a thick tapered band on the bottom of their crewneck sweatshirt? WHY ARE THEY ALL LIKE THIS??

PLEASE cite the deep magic to me, Witch! I was there when it was written, but I wasn't really paying attention

Oh yeah I'm a gamer (I play solitaire on the netflix app)

Also, I got jumpscared by John mentioning drug-resistant tuberculosis in his video for June 4th, 2007.

I’m watching Brotherhood 2.0 for the first time all the way through, and it’s so fun to see the origins of things that are now a big part of the community. Every time something important is mentioned for the first time, I go 🫵😲

I impulsively deleted TikTok again. Let’s see how long I can go this time before my absolutely rotted brain convinces me that I need to redownload it.

Besties I was homeschooled (educationally neglected) and this thing was like the only way I learned any kind of science bc I found it for free on my own so honestly if anything is worth funding you should fund them because it's so useful for people who don't have many educational resources

An important reminder that measles vaccines save millions of lives every year across the world. The measles vaccine is arguably the most life-saving vaccine in use. Our latest article from @scientificdiscovery.dev and @spoonerf.bsky.social: ourworldindata.org/measles-vacc...

I, for one, am tired of [gestures broadly]. I have grown weary of [points in all directions simultaneously].

Anyone who says deplatforming fascists doesn't work needs to interrogate why fascists are so eager to keep queer voices out of media, out of schools, out of the public. They know. Queer kids without information about queerness stay in the closet longer, or even die. They deplatform us. It works.

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

I stopped attending Mass regularly in 1995 however I have never formally left the Church nor been excommunicated. the college of cardinals therefore has an opportunity to do something extremely funny. holler at yr boy, Rome

I can’t listen to the lakes anymore without thinking of tuberculosis help

Trying to explain to our Christian families that we are not Christian and that there isn't a nonreligious part of Easter that we would celebrate as adults is interesting every year

Hey is this anything

an incredibly good thread
