"ICE has definitely gone too far but we still n-" no we don't. Whatever the purist version of what you think their job is supposed to be is, we don't need them for that. We can just get rid of all of it and put that money towards some, anything else.

The next person I see say that "all of this" is to distract from the Epstein files haha I'm *going* to find where you live and shit on your porch and car.

the "and you're surprised by this?" guys have never been less vital than they are right now

they’re abducting our neighbors and putting them in concentration camps and they’ll empty a whole goddamn magazine into you while you’re lying on the ground if you don’t cheer them on while they’re fucking doing it.

Happy birthday Bob! This great ape is 20 today 🦧 Bob is known throughout the Oregon Zoo for his unique bond with 3-year-old Jolene. Though male orangutans typically don't play much of a role in parenting, Bob is an active father who can often be seen playing with and caring for his daughter 💕

If there's anyone who still thinks this will all blow over when our big beautiful president Leaves Us, you have to realize the Republican Party is crawling with fascists

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

it's never the crazy weird conspiracy theory weapons. they are poisoning you with toxins they are well-documented to have. they are beating you with ordinary sticks and shooting you with ordinary guns the only conspiracy is how they gained legal immunity to do this

everybody in the trump administration looks like this

When I look at fascism throughout history I regularly think "this happened bc the population protested and resisted the secret police too much. I wish they had chilled out, demonstrated proper civility so as not to earn the already occurring oppression, and let the fascist lose the next election

Good summary of “don’t give him what he wants” from relatively comfortable white liberals.

when ICE asks you questions about your neighbors, you've never met your neighbors in your life. you've never even seen them from afar. neighbors? what neighbors?

Keeping at it in spite of everything

Who coined the idea of "good storyteller bad author" I'm gonna fuckin kill them

I know we’re all having fun here but as a straight man I feel like I have to say this is exactly what we all look like

my man, you’re talking about the people who killed George Floyd

Feels really surreal to still be going to rehearsal in north Portland today

*Border Patrol. And fucking unbelievable, they are using the same "they were trying to run us over" bullshit excuse ICE did yesterday

Republicans are Nazis. It’s a mirror. It’s the same thing. Republican officials are Nazi officials. Republican leaders are Nazi leaders. Republican propagandists are Nazi propagandists. Republican party members are Nazi party members. Republicans are Nazis.

I don’t know what to say except that human beings deserve better than whatever this is

Suck it coach david

After a long battle with neurological issues and the sudden steep decline of old age, we had to say goodbye to our sweet old man. Rest easy, Chip. I love you, old man.

What a view from my hotel room for this Christmas gig in Corvallis 😍

Doing hot girl shit

And ill shut up soon but heres my split dungeon synth release. I promise i have new music almost done lmao shriekingband.bandcamp.com/album/puddle...

If you want some jams to listen to, please do! And if you have it in you i have a bunch of stuff for sale here. Could use the help!

One day I'll learn to stop hoping my family gives a shit about my endeavors. Surprised I haven't gotten the message after multiple times of them not bothering to show up to a free concert down the street from where they live.

Could use the help if you wanna losten and help at the same time! Links are in comments

When I am supreme leader I will begin a program to humanely euthanize all avid readers of cozy christmas themed fiction or James Patterson

I love interacting with white suburbia, where me saying I take the bus to work is met with the kind of reaction normally reserved for the announcement of a terminal illness

i think if you want to have those disgusting LED headlights on your car, you should have to do a test where they blast you point blank with your own headlights and then you have 15 seconds to successfully complete some sort of vision-based task, and if you can't do it they push your car off a cliff

I'm sure this is totally fine and cool

Is this anything?

writing it "f*ck" sickens me. a coward's curse. say fuck or find a different word. get that nasty starfish asshole out of my sight

It’s probably bad that this has thousands of like, right? Like it’s concerning that somebody is saying they believe griffins “still exist somewhere” and people are agreeing. That’s bad right

One of the most important political messages on the internet.

I find the relentless sanitization of "cozy" everything to be related to the use of A/I. One is outsourcing all thinking, the other is removing the possibility of thinking.

Obviously I agree with everything here about "Cozy" fiction sanitizing the real world, but the point about the TSA created in the shadow of the war on terror stands out especially. Declare seems to revel in not knowing or caring about the past, which is exactly the scary part of "Cozyfying" reality

The thing that makes Star Trek utopian isn’t the end of scarcity or the harmony between all peoples it’s also that the guy on the ship who gets laid the most plays the trombone at work and periodically does community theater

Time for me to once again plug that I have a Ko-Fi. I post reprints of my fiction there and I have an author's preferred text ebook of my novelette "Over Still Waters." ko-fi.com/bensernagrey #sffauthors #ko-fi

Made a lil guy before bedtime

The audacity of people who pretend that everything that's going on now came down to a vote is astonishing. It ignores the culpability of BOTH parties in setting the precedents currently being weaponized by fascism. It's like nothing ever happened, and all was well with the world before 2025.

I'm playing bass for sound of music ALL WEEK and while overall I think it's held up pretty well, if I went to a party and this rich fucker had his battalion of children sing and dance and I had to watch and be polite I would later come back and chuck pipe bombs into that mansion

I like how the news will be like “while the President claiming Portland was ruled by a giant skeleton named Mr Nibbles is not strictly true, it does speak to the anxiety of many Americans”

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.
