it’s no use going back to yesterday because i was a different person then - consistently inconsistent in skeeting - consistently consistent in my support for the less fortunate, minority and lgbtq+ communities - hobbies & interests change like the seasons

Pritzker: "When did we become a country where it's ok for the US president to insist on national television that a state should call him to beg for anything? Especially something we don't want. Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in this nation that we treat this as normal?"
Pritzker: "Any rational person who has spent even the most minimal amount of time studying human history has to ask themselves one important question: once they get the citizens of this nation comfortable with the current atrocities committed under the color of law, what comes next?"
…OR CONSEQUENCES…my kingdom for consequences to actions 😓
ur piss flaps 🫠
i misunderstood the prompt 🤦♀️
yes, there’s rice in the salt. it helps with humidity. why has no one invented humidity-defying salt?
IS HE DEAD YET?!
they should invent a back that doesn’t hurt

“Cultural Blindness: The controversy also revealed a certain cultural sensitivity gap. For those unfamiliar with African artistic traditions or symbolic uses of natural materials, Ofili’s work could easily be misinterpreted.”
CHRIS OFILI is the artist i was thinking of. his mother was not from india 🤦♀️ in fact, he’s a british-born artist. he did use elephant dung in his work
ah, i see you, too, are a woman of good taste atm, i’m not in the movie mood, but i am replaying The Quarry
the point is he shouldn’t NEED to be reminded to watch out for that tree because he’s George of the JUNGLE

i’ve gone down a rabbit hole starting with serrano that leads to artistic freedom of minority artists up against religious puritanism and conservatism in the united states
There’s a billion-dollar Christ-for-Profit industry out there—what I want to know is, who monitors them? While these groups are busy weeding out what is to them morally objectionable on the airwaves and in our museums, who decides what is morally offensive in the religion industry?” 3/3
Yet he understands that there are certain factions that will always try to ensure that audiences don’t think for themselves. “These special-interest groups are very small,” he remarks, “but they manage to wield a lot of power by intimidating those people who are in charge…2/3
Serrano adamantly denies making art to freak out the likes of the American Family Association, Jesse Helms or New York’s Senator Al D’Amato, who histrionically ripped up a catalogue containing a reproduction of Piss Christ on the floor of the Senate…1/3
Maybe if Piss Christ upsets you, it's because it gives some sense of what the crucifixion actually was like...I was born and raised a Catholic and I've been a Christian all my life." 2/2
ok he is not the artist i was thinking of. i did, though, find this quote from Serrano re: Piss Christ: He said, "What it symbolizes is the way Christ died: the blood came out of him but so did the piss and the shit…1/2
bone petite = small bone. bone because bone from meat and it, hate to admit it but it works as a play on bon appétit also there’s that old subreddit r/boneappletea where of course the was posted
take a stock photo that illustrates the full spectrum of the human experience
the QR code is bittersweet to me. they were the rage - amongst graphic artists, in my area - so we all put them on our business cards only to see that nobody we handed them to knew what they were 🙃
iirc, the artist’s mother was indian? hence, the cow’s blood. he did other religious pieces that combined catholicism and his indian roots. i may be getting him confused with another artist, though. i’ll look it up later.
the original work of art was not a sculpture, but a crucifix in a jar of urine and cow’s blood. it was a photograph
screed about The Piss Christ. a needed history refresher
On this Labor Day, let us remember that it wasn’t the CEOs and billionaires who saved us during COVID-19. It was the janitors, nurses, cleaning crews, grocery and food workers with their hard, often invisible labor.
Once again I am struck with the nagging question "Why *this* man?"
TELL ME IT’S HIS DEADASS BODY
being awesome
“not that bluesky is important” but let me talk about it all the time 🙄
i found a black-legged meadow katydid in the walmart garden center this past thursday
perfection
i may be in texas but that scarf and them jeans are coming out
by the way, i hope i’m not wrong. i can barely make it through the ones we have 😭
since there’s no 23rd month, i’d say 2003. i hope this helps 🫂
With tongue thrust firmly in cheek “millions of young, rural, white men [are]..suited for the slave camps because they are not only lazy, but unaware of their laziness..(And, yes, men from the..“whites only” communities like the one developing in the Ozark Mountains of Arkansas will be eligible!)”
where is the money that DHS is saving on not funding states going
fucking scapegoating. it’s sick
Don't forget the cronyism. For all the Republican critiques about the federal govt, it spends hundreds of billions a year contracting for everything from office supplies to fighter jets and Trump's donors - especially the private prison industry - are going to siphon out as much money as they can.
of course car jackings are down. nobody’s in town we are so fucked
was miku the passenger rudy had in the car?
IS HE DEAD YET? HAVE THE EPSTEIN FILES BEEN RELEASED?! by chance, has pam bondi slipped and fallen down some stairs?

"If the nonprofits and the volunteers didn't do it, there was nothing coming in if you didn't have the means."
i don’t think this has anything to do with your post 😅. i felt compelled to share. it was devasting. 20 years later and it still feels stressful when remembering
kids didn’t go back to school until january. my mother worked at the hospital. she dreaded getting called in at night because there were no street lights. several times she’d just cry because she’d miss the street to get home.
from waveland to biloxi, almost every single building along the coast was gone. just. nothing. i don’t remember what fema did for mississippi residents. we didn’t get any money. anyone who lived south of the tracks had no power for weeks. had to show id to national guard at the tracks.
we chose to stay home. my house is one block from the beach. gulfport, ms. we had to crawl through fallen trees to get to the street. there were houses on. the. street. we waded through knee-deep water to get to the beach to find everything, every building, every tree, every. thing. was gone.
IS HE DEAD YET? HAVE THE EPSTEIN FILES BEEN RELEASED?!
happy anniversary to your parents!
we. are. so. fucked.
They are coming for our SSRIs

RFK is using a mass shooting to politically go after drugs he doesn't like.
But we ain't doing sh!t about the guns. Every other country has mental illness issues too, but they don't have mass shootings...
oh! now i recognize it. i’m not a Yes fan so i didn’t readily get it, but i remember staring at their album covers in the store! glad i asked and went looking for more Roger Dean art
that…is a cool getaway vehicle. now. what is it lol
If you see this post your getaway vehicle
I wouldn't pay attention to any news in the first 24 hours about who or why this happened. In fact we should always be actively skeptical of the narratives fed to us immediately
When Republicans villainize a mass shooter, they are giving away their game: They are saying the shooter should never have had a gun, which Republicans made sure they could buy. Being trans doesn't shoot people, but owning an assault rifle does.
I don’t want to hear shit about “the shooter was trans” from a media that has spent the last two decades painting every radicalized white male shooter as a lone wolf
Anyone who looks at America in 2025 and thinks, "maybe we can fix this by throwing trans people under the bus" 1) doesn't have the brains to understand what's going on or how we got here 2) doesn't have the stomach for any of the fights ahead and 3) is vice signaling to their MAGA friends.

Letters, documents and gifts under $100 are exempt — though DHL said in a statement that any parcel declared as a gift “will be subject to even stricter controls than before to prevent the misuse of private gift shipments for sending commercial goods.” 4/4
The new rules could also put the onus on senders to pay import duties before the shipment leaves for the U.S., according to Belgium’s bpost. It said in a statement the changes mean “import duties for all shipments with goods must be prepaid, regardless of value.” 3/4
For countries with a tariff rate of 15 percent or less, such as Britain, each package will incur an additional charge of $80. between 16 and 25 percent will incur an additional $160. more than 25 percent will face an extra $200. 2/4
What will it mean for consumers? The extra charges on a package will depend on the methodology used to calculate it, according to the executive order. The duty rate will either match the level of tariff the U.S. has imposed on the country of origin, or a specific duty based on the following: 1/4
NEW: The NAACP and the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law have sued the State of Texas over its new congressional maps for racial bias. “The state of Texas is only 40 percent white, but white voters control over 73 percent of the state’s congressional seats,” says NAACP Derrick Johnson.
that new logo was ass, though. keep the old man and barrel or not, i don’t care. if it’s going to be redone, do some actual market testing, not the lazy piece of shit they came out with
This is really important. Why has Travis Kelce refused to release the epstein files
lol jesus drinkin’ from a waterhose christ
I am SO FUCKING PISSED that I know who Charlie Kirk is. It's genuinely incredible that he is anything but the most ineffective middle manager at a jetski dealership.
The Iowa Senate seat that Democratic candidate Catelin Drey flipped tonight has been in GOP hands for 13 years. Not anymore.
If Obama or Biden had said this, it would be rightfully understood as them arrogating dictatorial authority to themselves, it would be the only thing anyone in the media or opposition would talk about for a year, and it would probably end their presidency. For Trump, it’s literally just Tuesday.
where is he located? jack russell! how old? reminds me of my sydney (rip)
the McRib: scientific failure Astronaut Ice Cream in NASA gift shop: scientific triumph
The cordless impact drivers you see at every construction site, workshop, toolshed, and fab lab exist because NASA needed a tool that could turn a screw in freefall without turning the astronaut, too.
They should have let him cook. We could have had nice things.
