When the canary in the coal mine kicks, you don’t shrug, keep working, and put in an order on Amazon Prime for more vulnerable birds. You get the fuck out of the mine, and work on fixing whatever the issue so that it’s safe for canaries.
Yes, I am that Alexandra Erin. No, I am not quite her anymore. Still figuring out what that means after some brain stuff happened in late 2023-early 2024. 45yo, she/her Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/AlexandraErin Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/alexandraerin

Like in place of "mind-boggling"?

steven (stephen?) miller dragging trump's limp body to Miracle Max's hut and getting chased tf out of there by Carol Kane with a broom
There are pictures in the comments and they’re AWESOME
Go ahead and block me. I'll just mail my posts to your house
this post and the post about “omg ritalin works again!” are intimately connected adhd meds just make you FOCUS. they don’t make you focus on the RIGHT things i have had such low energy for so long, i don’t know how to steer this thing ⚡️HYPERFIXATE⚡️
Of note, as always, that many federal employees are Black and an attack on them is explicitly an attack on Black workers, in particular, Black white-collar workers.

Hi cuties 💖 This month I have missed a few days of work due to lack of transportation. I’m still only part time due to my health, so this take a huge toll on me. I’ll be needing help with about $700 in rent this month. My full menu is available! 🥰 CA AND PP: $transboyy

If it's inevitable then I'm gonna wait until I have to.

If by some awful confluence of circumstances he’s nominated and you’re in a swing state, sure, vote for him, but I really don’t understand hyping up an obvious empty suit when there’s plenty of good potential candidates and we’re 3 years out from the presidential election.

1 dead body and 19... oh wait nevermind, 20 dead bodies
I do wonder, and it would be VERY funny, if literally nothing scandalous happened, and all that incredibly sus wording was because his team is just THAT deeply trained to expect there IS a scandal to cover
And this is how I learn is on bsky. Thanks!
Fred Rogers was a rip-off artist who stole all his material from me. @theonion.com
Fixed it.
God bless @theonion.com and @kartoonistkelly.bsky.social
I think about twenty bodies fall out.
Public health facts no longer matter to a significant majority of federal electeds from both parties. I don't know how we come back from this.
Sam Vimes' boots theory was honestly one of the concepts that helped radicalize me, and contributes to the basis of my political philosophy.
The actual literal Nazis were burning books about trans healthcare a hundred years ago. We have been here and been under attack this whole time; pretending like this is a new issue is part of the attack.
Like, if he wasn't the one driving and his car was rear-ended... why would anyone ever complicate that narrative? I am boggled.
Trump doesn't seem to be dead yet but he's clearly not doing great and they're being sketchier than usual about his condition. Giuliani was in a car accident which on the surface does not appear to be his fault (passenger in a rear-ended card) but they're being very weird about it.

I have been asked to listen and to learn, and I want you to consider that maybe I don't want to.
Yeah, that's what I mean... the legal idea of a safe following distance assumes the vehicle in front of you might slam on the brakes because of something you can't see, so liability defaults to the car that was following in a way that is hard to counter. Just makes the impulse to spin strange.
The No Touching signs are there for a reason.
I do not drive, but my understanding is that getting rear ended is kind of the thing that is the very most not your fault, in terms of collisions. So the aggressive attempt to control the narrative is just... it's loud and confusing.
Too tired to realize you're cooking
Perfection.

If this report is on the money, it sounds like his spox was just writing fanfic about an unrelated thing to maximize sympathy and get him some good press connected to the accident.

47 works of mine were stolen, as per the LibGen database, and I can promise you that I wildly overused em-dashes and ellipses in all of them, much to the despair of every copyeditor. ;) Can't stop won't stop!
What transphobes actually mean by "biological sex" is "metaphysical sex". Because they utterly deny the biological changes medical transition induces, and even if it were possible to modify internal reproductive organs and chromosomes, they would still consider a trans person to be their AGAB.
Bluesky is dying and as evidence, I am picking a fight with every user
Insurance paid. So grateful it was not a scramble this time.
personally, i have yet to find an ethical reason for me *not* to be a bigot towards machines - in the specific sense of "i believe that organic life is inherently capable of things that inorganic, human-made machine simulations of life are not."
Periodic reminder I was tortured in childhood over autism and that’s what RFK Jr is trying to usher back in
As a shut-in, I value the connections I haven't made with other recluses, hermits, and misanthropes on LinkedOut.
This is so funny to me as an *acadien*
Me, Googling ‘Death’ and what it means : “ ew , im not doin that”
I've read a lot of replies and quotes of this and spotted precisely ONE person defending it. One. "This is only to reduce the backlog, then they'll be allowed in". I don't believe that's a good enough defence. Particularly as it's almost certainly untrue.
Rewatched Disney's original Snow White and the Seven Dwarves recently (would not recommend, it's tedious) and I'm struck by how many of the woodland creatures who aid her are raccoons and chipmunks This leads me to the conclusion that the story likely takes plave somewhere in North America
I like this a lot and am very interested in seeing how it shapes up
If it happens today, may the word get out while I am watching Honey Don't so it's the first thing I see when I turn my phone back on.
Way ahead of ya, babe
The three day weekend is messing with my fragile sense of time, so I am reminding myself to pay monthly bills and that I have therapy tomorrow.
we must always remember to enjoy things on purpose.
Theses nuts!!!!
so hey uhhhhhhh bars stayed open because the government wanted to keep them in business and not piss off conservatives. Schools *also* stayed open in that *they were functioning* and switched to online. At no point did schools just stop teaching, to be clear.
I love ambient music background when I'm working, and your liner note at the end of "Water Where It Should Not Be" is kind of the inspirational shot in the arm I needed right now.
I didn't see this yesterday, but this morning I saw this post as I was trying to remember where I had written down a couple of mutuals whose music I wanted to pay for when I got paid on the 1st, so this was lucky timing for me
A pandemic but the only way to stop the spread is everyone wearing a huge buttplug all the time
If you followed me because of posting remember that I'm also a weird pervert (streamer)
Same thing with telling us to save it for the primary; if we did, it would be "Why is this suddenly a problem when it never mattered before? It's suspicious how this came out of nowhere."
one thing i think neoliberals don’t realize when they squawk about trans people not voting for newsom: if we did, the political apparatus would use that fact against us to say that we approve of & consent to his transphobic policies.

The name tag is brilliant; it always feels awkward just calling someone "mister"
Um. Bottle of holding?
I'm working on a character. he's a cis white dude named "james" who disables quoteposts. he goes to the doctor. says his social media site is dying. you need to be nicer to everyone. the doctor says nothing. because that is not why "james" is here. he is here because he wants you to be nice to nazis
I am weighing it
Hilarious, thank you for sharing
Another reason the dog in The Thing is so scary. We're used to canine actors doing their doggy best but they're just hyped to be there. Jed was a true professional.
I wonder how international news is going to cover it when Israel raids, confiscates aid and detains international activists from 50 ships (unless other countries stop them, like Egypt did for the march). Same way they're covering Israel openly committing genocide for nearly 2 years, I guess.
"I disagree with the fascists when they call groups of people subhuman and demand their removal from society, except THIS ONE GROUP, where I totally think they got it right. C'mon guys, we can remove just one group from society, right? Like a free square in bingo?"
Neither Labour nor the Democrats have figured out that they lose more votes on the left than they gain on the right by doing this shit
"I believe in separating the art from the artist," I say, to explain why I haven't touched my draft in days.
Wise words from a wise man.
On a long enough timescale, every edible is shit.
"If this website is to survive, it must be welcoming to everyone and forget about trying to police behavior with social rules. To that end, I will now propose some rules about how we should police behavior and who should be welcome."
"bluesky is gonna DIE because all of you elders are MEAN and don't tolerate the FREE MARKET of IDEAS" I'd rather it die than allow transphobic, racist, homophobic, misogynist bullshit posted freely! fuck you!

I do appreciate how it's morphed into "setting aside the fact that people on a Twitter routinely threaten to kill my family at a synagogue, it's welcoming, unlike here"
i don't really mind the "bluesky is dying because people are mean to me" posts because i remember the alternative, which was "twitter is dying because people are mean to me" op eds in the new york times
Well, this will absolutely not inspire an entire subgenre of force-fem fic, sparking a secondary wave of indirect egg-crackings. (Secondary because the screenings are bound to do so directly, even if they only ever stumble upon actual eggs by coincidence.)
