Mary googling “Bruce Springsteen instrumentals” and singing along on a iPad mid-conversation Hillary wanted to be literally anywhere else but there in that moment 💀 What a time.

“Stupid dummy voted for Trump” A third of the country did, friend. That’s…a lot of fucking people. We have to grapple with that reality in more constructive ways than just

This “condescension problem” discourse going on is a great example of how binary centrist and liberal thinking is and how it keeps us in psycho-political bondage.

I had a conversation with a bisexual high-school teacher who was out as gay at work. “Why not bi?” I asked him, “Isn’t that more, I don’t know, ‘straight-adjacent?’” “No,” he said, “They can cope with gay but if you say bisexual, their brain goes ‘pervert,’ it’s too scary.” I fear Lux is right 👇🏼

I arrange much of my life around avoiding inadvertently frightening white people, which is exhausting, and awfully unfair to me. But you know, white people do really hideously violent things to you when they claim they feel unsafe, and I quite enjoy staying alive, so…

So exhausting..

this the one

I just think he’s incredibly gorgeous so

Well…yes

Bad Bunny is set to be the halftime show performer for Super Bowl LX:

Democrats: Trump is a menace. He is flagrantly violating the law and the Constitution. He is carrying out a campaign of vengeance against his critics. His policies hurt the average American. You can’t trust him or his promises. We stand ready to work with him and negotiate.

Bluesky leadership has been doing this thing where they frame all objections to their censorship as "Oh, you support posting SEX CRIMES??? GO MAKE YOUR OWN APP, PERVERT!!" Bluesky censored the literal Keystone Cops for violence. They flagged a Victorian trick film for violence. Sit the hell down.

"People who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them, poisoned." ~ James Baldwin 🌸🌸🌸

Of all the things I have nostalgia for, “what Walmart felt like” is definitely not one of them Also, those kids would have absolutely been clowned for walking around with their shirts tucked in like that in 2002

I'm rereading a book from 2004. My best friend wrote for Truthout at the time and was trying to sound the alarm. It's interesting to see, in this book, how this has been happening for a long time. And far earlier than 2004.

None of the shit we’re dealing with now is new

Was originally thinking “what more can even be said to justify a three-episode series” but I’m only halfway through the first one and it’s already worth watching. My god.

Looking at Youtube while logged out is like staring into the face of Hell

pundits underestimating the power and importance of "what the fuck did u just say about my girl?"

NEW YORK (AP) — New York City Mayor Eric Adams ends his reelection campaign.

Literally just read fantasy fiction. Or comic books. Stories can be fun!

Perhaps so many people insist on living in delusional, illogical alternate reality fantasy worlds because they don’t have enough healthy creative outlets

Not a fan of the term “media diet”

The makeup battle damage makes it look like he walked into the wall wearing one of his dumb headsets

Your para social relationships are being used to destroy your ability to fight back against fascism very intentionally by bad faith accounts on this app and they have been doing it for months.

Nexstar and Sinclair accidentally let normies find out that they can just watch Kimmel’s show without being tuned to the ABC affiliate they control which is going to devalue a local ad buy for advertisers! Incredible minds at work

Graphic Design Is My Passion-ass poster, and it’s funny that all three of the women hired for this comedy sausage fest made the poster

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

I tell people in South Africa about getting booted from academia over Palestine & they simply can’t believe a professor could be booted for their (righteous!) politics. A reminder I’m in the ongoing process of decolonizing my mind. The US is nothing to hold onto—a moral & intellectual wasteland.

Currently reading Strawberry Shortcake Murder & an abusive husband is the murder victim. Replace “Danielle” with any/every marginalized people group & it’s a shame a cozy murder mystery from 2001 has a better POV regarding the death of despicable people than most of what I’ve witnessed this month.

I like that I grew up in an era where it wasn’t possible for a bunch of online strangers to know what I looked like before I could even walk/talk/have a social media account of my own

Actually I take this back. I AM opposed to people posting images of kids online…perhaps in most cases? Like, taking away the rest of this context here, I’ve always had squicky feelings about children having digital footprints before they can consent to it. Esp with AI & all this other stuff now.

it's important to have role models!!!

IMO if Apple’s worst, most egregious example of a harmful and dangerous app that’s now available through sideloading is *checks notes* porn…I think we’re doing OK https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2025/09/the-digital-markets-acts-impacts-on-eu-users/

“I have advocated, and I still advocate revolutionary change. I advocate an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism, and the elimination of political repression. If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty.” - Assata Shakur

she was brave and good and true, and may we all meet this time with even a little of her conviction

Assata 🥺

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age." She was 78.

I totally get (but don’t exactly agree with) the NFL being like “we’ve always done it like this; we’re not going to change” and Taylor Swift being like “I’m Taylor Swift; I’m not doing it unless it’s on my terms, unprecedented or not”

I thought this premise was so fun and then I actually saw the film 🥴. Keep the setting the same, but take it out of this director-screenwriter’s hands and give it to someone who actually thinks women and black people are people and you might have something good there.

i hate that we have to defend VPNs, but ... we have to defend VPNs

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.
