‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

I read this out loud and about two minutes in the venom with which this was written caused flame to shoot out of my mouth.

“Everything is pedophilia, except for actual pedophilia, which is fine.”

this is the funniest fucking thing

random shower thought: why do people call themselves “book dragon” when “book wyrm” is right there…

I legitimately hate it here…

The third and final installment in my Killing Games trilogy, Killing Motives, is now up for pre-order at NineStar Press. If you like kickass nonbinary/transmasc characters, m/nb romance, and heart-pounding action, check it out: ninestarpress.com/product/kill...

The Nazis targeted disabled people first & pioneered the term “useless eater” They convinced the masses that we were less than”. People taking up resources & not contributing in any way. When Dr Oz says we must “prove our worth” to get Medicaid, he’s just resurrecting the concept. Don’t let him

Look, I'm a well-off middle-age cis white guy with four law degrees, three in commercial law fields. At this point, even I can see that key institutions have failed at the moment they were most needed because we have permitted the development of a largely unregulated and untaxed oligarch class.

Something something redress of grievances

One thing that has become super apparent for me is that we need Congress to pass a law creating a default enforcement mechanism that would apply to any statute or regulation that mandates or prohibits specific conduct but doesn’t have an explicit enforcement mechanism

It was always about these uncreative small-minded people who, deep down, know they're talentless ass clowns who need to resort to xenophobia and fascism to make it. At bottom, it's a skill issue. I don't need fascism to succeed. Neither does any immigrant or patriotic American.

Watch the whole video, but no mistaking or arguing that this is anything but just aim directly at journalist and fire.

it’s honestly shameful/embarrassing that both my parents, who served in the USMC, voted for Tr*mp & are just ok with him sending in the Marines to quell protest & suppress free speech. it’s such a gross violation of the oath to protect the Constitution. Tr*mp is a direct threat to the Constitution.

Washington just took the reasonable step of not allowing the National Guard of other states to operate here without our agreement. It’s not the Guard personnel we are concerned about, it’s other governors in the Trump cult. katu.com/news/local/g...

Blink. Go outside. Touch grass. Play a game. Paint a picture, sing a song, dance in the rain. Embrace joy and all that is good in the world. You can do all that and still fight tooth and nail for every inch of ground. The idea that you must personally witness everything is toxic bullshit.

I can walk again (with this obnoxious boot) the bone they were concerned about isn’t broken/fractured. it was showing damage due to lack of use.

so… this happened in a Call of Duty zine project. it’s so shitty when fandom spaces are violated like this.

Depressingly and sureally accurate

stay classy, JK

follow up with the ortho yesterday. back on 0% weight bearing. a piece of bone has broken, so my progress has taken a huge step back… 😔😔😔

physical therapy is kicking my ass. but at least I can stand up & move around a bit now.

here's the direct link www.reddit.com/r/AO3/commen...

Trump's in full retreat today as his poll numbers slip: He convened the cabinet to limit Elon after voters pressured Congress. He delayed the tariffs b/c the market dropped out & created fears of a recession. He's losing in court b/c DOGE didn't follow the law. Keep fighting.

Please listen and share—this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.

Trump is labeling certain expenses as “FRAUD,” despite most of his claims being completely false—for example, they have even called cancer funding fraud. USAID and EPA employees are being individually targeted for allocating funds—funds they were directly instructed to allocate.

cozy

have started physical therapy. am excited to start working on walking (confidently) again.

Started watching the Pitt, didn’t realize how badly I subconsciously wanted an ER reboot. The people yearn for Noah Wyle in a medical setting.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT? Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson released an opinion and order today denying the government’s motion for summary judgment and granting Special Counsel Dellinger’s cross-motion for summary judgment. Mr. Dellinger is unfired. The opinion is 67 pages long. This paragraph appears on page three.

The cavalier misogyny on display here is breathtaking.

mRNA vaccines, COVID-19 or otherwise, are not gene therapy. Misconceptions & misinformation have eroded progress in science innovation. 2 main reasons: 1) misunderstanding of nuanced science 2) intentional spread of falsehoods 1/

Just thinking that Trump's art of the deal consisted of telling Zelenskyy on live tv that he had no cards to play, and the result being that by the next day everyone else was giving Zelenskyy new cards
