Feels like Silicon Valley has truly gone insane and should go back to making simpler stuff: wooden cuckoo clocks, novelty back scratchers. And for their own sake, have most of their wealth seized. What an opportunity for them to learn! A cuckoo clock, delightful.
We got our shotty shots no problem. No muss no fuss at CVS. 💉💉
I'll take it
A thing I'm enjoying this afternoon is that the Trump-was-an-FBI-informant thing is pretty funny if Mike Johnson just made it up but is also very funny if true
We can talk about her Woke 2 is going to look like, but withering contempt for evangelical politics has to be part of it. How dare you speak of morality to me. How dare you speak of God.
...double hippie?
Ooh, yeah, that'll do it
General public disregard
...and maybe a little actually offensive
Yeah, I don't want it to sound like I think Our National Symbols are sacred, just that this whole spectacle is aesthetically offensive
I don't think I'm prone to being especially precious about this sort of thing, but apparently I do have a line
Huh. Learning things about myself, like I am capable of being offended by the concept of "Lincoln Memorial weigh-ins."
More like circuses and other circuses—bread's getting pretty spendy
Now that's a glorious becoming we can all enjoy
Not yet. That's actually Phase III.
That sounds like a lot more work, though
'correlated with recent exposure to Bluesky' lol
I need to figure out how to weaponize my incompetence. It's just going to waste
...it is now
What is safer than a baby with bat wings
I really, REALLY wish people would internalize the absolute stranglehold voter suppression and gerrymandering have over many red states with high BIPOC populations (who reliably vote blue) before consistently writing off these entire states and saying shit like “they deserved it”.
...oh, huh
90 is so many minutes 🫤
One of the absolute worst genres of Reply/Quote Guys is the “oh yeah, well I’m more pessimistic than you” person.
I wonder how Giuliani's doing
I'm no theologian but I think this checks out
I've never mowed a lawn but this is nevertheless a ✨mood✨
I mean look at those dragonets. LOOK AT THEM
Important!!!
Can confirm that Valor absolutely owns and everyone should check it out. You can trust me because I am cool and probably a tastemaker of some kind.
I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!
..."lively"?
Too much, some might say
Wow!!
🫡
😭😭😭 What if I got pretty good at manuscript illumination
Oh no I forgot he was still alive and he's out there casting PODS of all things??
Would Hildegard of Bingen think I'm cool? Would she hang out with me
part of being President is having human deaths on your conscience. in theory that means you hesitate to use force except when necessary but as far as I can tell Donald Trump wants human lives on his conscience, as many as he can it's like he has an anti-conscience that can only be sated by sins
Oh boy
Someday he will pass from this mortal realm, and when that time comes I will personally pay for the autopsy. America deserves to know what the hell is going on in there.
Gotta be the mitochondria
Gavel. That's the word I was trying to remember. Comically large prop gavel.
I think they should let her bonk him on the head with some kind of ceremonial mallet
Kind of a bummer that your reward for good posts is the Discover feed
I feel like at some point in the last ~20 years I heard that Bobby Kennedy's son was an environmental lawyer suing polluters and cleaning up rivers or whatever, and I have this vague recollection of thinking that, all things considered, this was an okay outcome for a Kennedy scion. Lol
She isn't my favorite,but I do like this
So many people say, “Let the MAHA drink raw milk,” without thinking that they will give raw milk to children who have no volition or ability to give consent to something potentially fatal. The same people who want to let “red” states suffer. Unbridled cruelty and lack of compassion.
I haven't listened to this podcast, but what a fascinating and upsetting thread about how ads work in that world—reminds me of the Washington State Patrol ads on Behind the Bastards.
And unfortunately they have good reason to assume that many cis people, even left of center, are willing to sacrifice trans people in the mistaken (and morally abhorrent) belief that doing so will somehow spare the rest of us.
We (both of us considered high risk) were able to schedule appointments at CVS for tomorrow. 🤞🤞 (We're in Washington State.)
And I know that talking about intellectual ableism is still seen as silly outside of very specific liberatory practice circles. But if you want to know how Musk was able to re-mainstream the "r*tard" slur, well. It's because we can't have these conversations without it getting treated as precious.
Real fun blood-red moon overhead last night. Super good. Not at all deeply distressing.
!!!
WELL SAID
You can't have this happen and then go back to "normal," that's no longer an option
Something I wonder about for real is what comes after this, whenever that is. Because it can't be this again, right? Like if this is what the presidency is now then we can't ever have another president
😤😤😤
What the hell did you just say about my PRINCESS
Someone has to
EVEN IF EVERYONE ABOARD WAS GUILTY
It's murder. They're murderers.
We don’t have to wait for the facts or see if there’s proof they were running drugs. Either way the administration just admitted to killing eleven people who posed no threat to anyone in the moment and are promising to kill more people who pose no threat to anyone in the moment.
Living in the Bay Area is truly wild because you get to see just how many flavors of new age practices and various flavors of atheism turn out to be some of the worst parts of Calvinism with a hasty custom paint job over it.
Or maybe it's more that there are additional *sources* of evil that hadn't occurred to me
What a sweet angle baby!
Oh. Oh, wow. This is somehow even more evil than I'd assumed
One of the core themes for me for the last couple of years is how the failure to deconstruct white evangelical christianity that is the default for most white Americans means that people keep reconstructing the heavily punitive structures complete the absolute terror of death. See: AI singularity
I have a lot of love and compassion for those of you raised with the trauma of those hellfire preachers but my friends, over here, there are thousands of years of theologies, including in your own traditions, that assume other ways of being. I promise.

If you can track the boat on camera to slaughter everyone aboard then you can track the boat on camera to intercept the boat and arrest them
sorry to post like a resist lib but I will never get over people who thought trump was the peace candidate. dumbest motherfuckers alive
I was genuinely going to ask—if we're not actually at war is it...is it mass murder, or since it's a government action is it a crime against humanity
..."Femocrat" is a hell of a typo to overlook. I feel like Rush Limbaugh will rise from his grave to steal it
Once again my heart wells with feeling as I recall that every Senate Femocrat voted to confirm Marco Rubio
...My "I will not vote for Newsom" position is entirely down to his eagerness to sacrifice trans people and his hostility toward homeless folks. Those are hard lines for me.
Yeah, I really don't associate the small number of strident "we must unite around Gavin right now or all is lost" posters I've run across with any of the establishment Dems withholding endorsements from Mamdani.
She's so pretty it's ridiculous, and smart and cool. Apple couldn't have fallen farther from the tree this time.
the democratic party's bias to normalcy is gonna kill us off. the gop is literally talking about a military junta and the democratic leader is operating like he can just cut a deal with republicans like its normal times.
(Disobey unlawful orders.)
National guard could do the coolest thing…
"A militia loyal to the DC regime has been dispatched to a base in the opposition-held territory of Illinois ahead of a planned invasion of that territory's urban center, Chicago. Regime forces are targeting celebrations of a rival ethnic group that is the subject to an ongoing expulsion campaign."
The least The Guy anybody's ever been
Is it lawsuit time? Is that the next step?
Jesus Christ I am so tired.
ive said this before but even well-intentioned cis people see transition as a luxury that is painful to revoke the rights for but not existential. i bet these hospitals would file lawsuits about this if it was about literally any other evidence-supported medical procedure
One of the wild things about hospitals shutting down this care is that they're doing it because, while the feds have not made it illegal to provide (though they have threatened investigations under a law against for female genital mutilation), they're threatening federal funding.
Nonsense. I just haven't indulged hard enough yet. Breakthrough's coming.
Cool cool cool cool cool cool
'“Mary Bridge remains deeply committed to our gender-diverse patients,” ... “While the wait list for medical interventions is no longer available, we will continue to provide new patients with behavioral health care, which includes mental health assessments, counseling and support services.”'
Oh boy, right in my back yard. Somebody's gotta be protesting this; I need to find them
...this cheers me up even more than I would have imagined. 🐉
Me: "Hee hee hee, hehehe hee hee hee" ☺️
This made me giggle aloud like a cartoon character
Scout! 🥹
Human rights are either universal or you don't believe in them. This is one of the few places in our reality that actually is a binary.
Who won
Yes, good
