Whether Mitch McConnell is alive or not, the bigger issue is that numerous members of Congress have disappeared due to health issues, been rolled out to legislate while half-dead, ran for new terms while actively dying, and dropped dead in office. This is a necrocracy, from both parties.

And finally, do you want to attend a takedown of the whiniest Supreme Court justice ever, the brain-rotted Samuel Alito? Well, this is the auction for you. Fueled by spite, logic, and the joy of calling out this absolute brain turd for the history fool he is.

No future without trans people. No future without immigrants. No future without strangers who become loved ones.

The American Library Association is auctioning off a bunch of the classic celebrity “READ” posters along with a bunch of other full sized literacy posters. This is going to fix so many of my problems, I just know it. movieposters.ha.com/c/search/res...

It’s not hyperbole that part of what kept the queer liberation movement going in the Reagan era was the partying part of the “bury your friends in the morning, protest in the afternoon, and dance at night” schedule. Without joy there is no air left to fight

Anyway there are still publishers who edit, and my advice to anyone being offered ✨debut✨ publication is to ignore the parts about sprayed edges and look very hard at your proposed editor's current reputation with their current authors. Because you want editing more than you want pink foil.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: If you receive a marketing pitch from "Smart Bitches Strategic Partnerships," IT IS NOT US. Big thanks to the Cold War historian who forwarded me the scam email he received. AGAIN: NOT US.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

Snowy days were made for homemade hot chocolate and crocheting cat ears for a friend's hat.

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Oh look, corrupt, spineless, quisling Richie @neal.house.gov voted Yea... Fucking fascist enabling prick...

hey @democrats.org, I'm not certain the fascist agency currently shooting moms and tear gassing schoolchildren while ignoring every single law mean to constrain their actions will be deterred by adding a QR code to their lapel? do you have any other ideas?

“You’re just a bully who found it easier and easier and decided that everybody else wasn’t really a REAL person, not like you, and when you know that, there’s no crime too big, is there?” ― Terry Pratchett, Snuff #Discworld (gee, I wonder if we have any current examples of this...)

Anyone telling you to not bother calling your representatives today should be treated as incredibly suspect and blocked.

Apropos to a post I'm not going to quote: no, you are not fucking obliged to battle the fucking right on fucking social media, or go to where they are. Why make yourself miserable shouting at bots (who don't care) or trolls (who get off on your misery). Make your fucking social media enjoyable, FFS.

My fine feathered friends have returned for the winter!

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.
