It really is. And to be clear, I support giving people the right to choose a dignified death in the face of dire and intractable suffering. But we need to ensure life with dignity first. If we have a right to die, then we should first have a right to live.

sorry I'm late! I have at last broken my silence on Pantone's Color of the Year johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/cloud-danc...

The boats the regime is claiming are going from Venezuela to the US would need to refuel over 20 times to get to Miami. They are lying to us.

For people who think book banning isn't a big deal because even if they're not available in libraries and schools, you can still buy them--this is an elitist argument. Most kids ONLY have access to books from their library. Libraries ensure info access for all. Libraries are vital in democracies.

Current US Policy: If you’re suspected of trafficking a small amount of drugs with no evidence, we will murder you, but if you’re convicted of trafficking an enormous amount of drugs with copious evidence, we will pardon you. Because we are currently a very stupid country.

HOLIDAY SHOPPERS: heads up, y'all. I've got links. I've got books. I've got stuff on sale, and you can find it all here: www.cheriepriest.com/blog/holiday...

It’s getting real for Home Depot. The flash mob is only the warm up, the nationwide boycott hits on November 27th. Chant: “Tax the rich tax, the motherf*cking rich.”

Sweet dreams darth 💞

one of the coolest things about ChatGPT is how you can actually just never use it. you can fill your whole entire life with simply not once using it. it's incredible.

Zohran flip your hair again we need healthcare get him to give us healthcare.

I don't understand why this isn't the only story and why he isn't giving his resignation. I mean, I do. But still. How can the president. THE PRESIDENT. Of the United States of America. The. President.

Good morning everyone! I hope you have a great day :)

OMG @wilwheaton.net! You're a Lego!!!! www.lego.com/en-us/produc...

One of our country's greatest war criminals just died, the president is arguing with himself about whether or not to let 40 million people starve, and there is an actual courtroom drama about a five dollar footlong. How are any of us supposed to maintain emotional regulation.

I'm east of the Cascades not near any base, but military planes just flew over so low that my whole house was vibrating. It's fine. I'm sure it's fine.

Ok two things. First, the oath I took was to the Constitution, not to some washed up wannabe billionaire pedo pick me that looks like he stumbled into Snookie’s spray tan booth circa 2005, so no I won’t be doing that. Second, fuck you, pay me. 🤬🤬🤬

"Johnson is basically keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles." LOUDER. Say it louder: Republicans only care about you if you're a wealthy pedophile. Everyone else can suffer.

600 people showed up to protest in our tiny town of 2000 #nokings

Also, ayo @jay.bsky.team and the BlueSky team, if you’re gonna permaban Link and Palestinian aid accounts, it’s not a good look if you also don’t ban government accounts engaged in obvious violations of the Hatch Act, which is an actual federal law.

Spooky season deals on new books! Get 'em while they're hot! Get 'em while they're cheap! Just get 'em, because I have animals to feed! ::gestures elaborately to this link:: www.cheriepriest.com/blog/spooky-...

Kermit. The frogs will lead us.

The New York Times is a right-wing newspaper that skates by under cover of its liberal arts and culture sections

“We just resolved it enough to benefit our side, and when we need to move the goalposts, we will”

We need all of you. United front against fascist control of higher education. Good job MIT!

In Trump's America, you're a hell of a lot more likely to be kidnapped off the street and beaten by masked goons cosplaying as ICE agents than you are to be assaulted by an immigrant.

I have friends everywhere.

I don't want higher insurance prices. I don't want AI. I don't want a ballroom at the White HOuse. I don't want dictatorship. I don't want ICE ar the military rousting people in our streets. I'm so negative.

Body-camera video appears to contradict the government’s claim that Marimar Martinez, 30, drove toward officers before one of them opened fire at her late Saturday morning in Brighton Park, her attorney claimed. trib.al/9Sxu9IN

Please use alt text when posting illustrations or photos or other images. I realize it feels like an inconvenience if you didn't ever do it at the other place, but folks who need it are a zillion times more inconvenienced every single day.

AI fans always seem puzzled why some people have a revulsion to AI and one issue is the people in charge of AI are repulsive

once again when i posted this 8 years ago IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A JOKE

THIS is the sacrifice we should never forget. Fascism will never come to America while we have breath to draw.

Where the separate divisions of ANTIFA landed on the beaches of Normandy on June 6, 1944:

To the Trump admin: We're not calling you Nazis to dehumanize you and justify murder. We're calling you Nazis because your ideology and policies dehumanize and are being used to justify murder.

My neighbor's AARP magazine got delivered to me by accident, so I've been perusing until she gets home on the weekend. Every article reads like it was written by a Gen Z imagining what it must feel like to get old. It's like that Steve Buscemi meme, but in reverse. Also? Rosemary's Baby = 1968.

Big toddler energy from cankles the clown.

I'm on the struggle bus big time lately. Tired. All. The. Time. Is it allergies? Side effects from the allergy meds? Side effects from the cancer meds? Getting older? Or just, you know *gestures wildly*, everything else? Be kind. To yourself* and everyone else. *Reminder from me to me.

But we “can’t afford” pediatric cancer research.

Just believe the survivors! We know they were buds. #hallelujah #comedy #parody

So...I wrote a release day blog post (finally) and uh, it might not be what you were expecting but I'm kind of Going Through It over here right now, so here goes nothing. www.cheriepriest.com/blog/getting...

Ok which is it @stephenking.bsky.social @muellershewrote.com? #WhereDoAllRoadsLead
