It’s okay to be a freak and a little weird, it’s not okay to be a weird little freak. Knowing the difference is key.

I’ve never met an intelligent bigot…
I feel like we are living through the extinction event that explains why the galaxy isn’t teeming with life.
This sums up my current reality, ugly but somehow functional #selfportrait
Can we stop pretending it was ever about free speech yet?
It’s inevitable, the last resort to protect profits.
Damn, gonna twist both ankles with that 180
Today seems like a good day to brush up on The Paradox of Tolerance
The library? The great thing about legacy print is that they had to vet the information, so even if it’s outdated, it’ll give you a good foundation.
I feel that, too. The scars remain and are still tender.
To be capable of feeling pain is what gives meaning to the pleasures of love and joy. However, it’s perfectly fine to escape and heal in that solitude after being wounded in love!
Solitude can be dangerous; no expectations, no miscommunication, no pressure. Quite the comfortable fortress.
Tell someone how much they mean to you, today. Because tomorrow is never guaranteed…
If you are struggling with depression, I hope you’ll find the strength to reach out for help. Although, by the very nature of the affliction, I know that’s difficult too. But you are loved, and worthy, and I hope you’ll stick around to see what might be around the next corner.
15 years ago, I lost my best friend to depression. Time heals all wounds, but the scars remain. I still think about him often, just not every day or with the same grief as before. I still miss him deeply, and wonder what the world would’ve been like if he was still here.
Same to you, my comrade in suffering!
If you wear it long enough, eventually the extra weight makes you stronger than before. You see others in their heavy coats with a newfound empathy for their struggle, giving genuine comfort from that place of understanding.
Adventures in babysitting
I’m confused, why is the UN not sending warships to break the illegal embargo? Oh, right… all bark no bite…
I need a movie with Sam Rockwell and Matthew Lillard, two of the most underrated actors of my lifetime.
Buddy, we’re on the same team here, I don’t understand the hostility. And I would agree about leftist policy, but that doesn’t mean we can’t hold our leaders to account or be critical, that’s cult mentality.
I’m talking a decade ago, and in the primaries, when the orange turd first showed up on the scene. We’ve just been dealing with the fallout ever since.
The goldfish brains seem to forget the popular movement behind Bernie a decade ago, who was shoved out for the establishment choice, Hilldog. The immediate impact was a huge swing of voters going to Trump as an “outsider”, because so many were disillusioned by the corporate dems.
I heard a fun bit of advice, “pretend like it’s still yesterday”, and that shook me out of the spiral. The day didn’t get much better, but I hardly noticed haha
I was reading a collection of his short stories, kind of scary how prophetic he was, considering the technology at the time of his writing…
Thanks, I really needed some happy tears today.
Every time I see a butterfly, I sing the Reading Rainbow theme. Which has been a lot, lately.
Trying? If you count gerrymandering, they’ve been at it a while, and with great success…
Every time I find the line between genius and insanity, I kick dirt on it.
“Oh, I’m sorry Richard. I didn’t learn how to build a nest, I was too busy learning to dodge gunfire and deliver important messages.”
Would you consider this one art?
Also a fantastic dimension. 🎶Let the sun shiiiine🎶
lol I don’t know enough about their beliefs, only what I’ve gleaned from South Park. But Carl Sagan talks about higher dimensions in his original Cosmos, and it blew my mind how he explains it.
Well, if you were advanced enough to fold space-time, the problem becomes dimensional, right? Who’s to say higher dimensional beings aren’t peaking into ours?
Same here, it was hard to leave “home”, but it doesn’t feel like home anymore.
You should karaoke Abracadabra by the Steve Miller Band, but scream your last name instead.
Things I take for granted as a tall dude. Just remember GENT: Groin, Eyes, Nose, Throat. Any strike to these areas can be debilitating enough to escape and run, if needed…
It’s blowing my mind. I heard the tale, but nothing prepared me for the reality haha
Ghost Stories dubbed is on Tubi, it’s incredible but a little dated on the language…
Dangit you beat me to it!
This would break the majority of congress’ hips.
Only you can do THAT weird thing, that’s what makes it fun.
Those poor billions…
But how will we defend a crumbling empire?!
Dangit, I met some Chicagoans tonight and forgot to mention Kat scaring Fox News…
Ghost Stories dubbed is on Tubi right now, please experience it whether you like anime or not.
When you’re a delusional billionaire, everything seems like “superintelligence”
Pan? Pirates?! Poppycock!
THIS IS HOW I FIND OUT?!
Hi, I’m a man, and I agree. It’s the same reason I’d rather have a minority/female doctor, they had to go through extra bullshit to achieve their goals, and are overly qualified compared to their privileged counterparts. Not to mention the majority of conflict has historically been started by men.
Great reminder to donate to PBS!
I would agree labor requires human participation, even if robots make a product someone needs to fix the robot. I just think if any job could easily be replaced and most cost-effective, it would be an algorithm making business decisions, instead of a flawed human ceo haha.
Not to mention the savings on c-level salaries…
Alex “I never sucked any Ding Dongs” Jones?
No need to apologize for protecting your mental wellbeing, relish in the cocoon guilt-free!
At this point, who gives a damn if they release the files? It won’t sway his cult, and no one will be held accountable. Besides, after all of this drama, there should be no doubt that Trump is at the top of that list. It’s like the Panama/Pandora papers all over again: huge outrage, zero action.
Maybe we’re the Scared Straight ™️ planet, where they send troubled aliens to realize things aren’t so bad for them…
How quickly they went from “Don’t call me a fascist!”, to openly identifying.
Crooooooooooow?
It’s crazy how 15 years can feel like yesterday and a lifetime ago
#BookSky
Good lord. We are seeing the dismantling of all norms, every day feels like a slide deeper into dystopia.
Mmm, moldy grass and diesel fuel!
Wow, the CGI budget for these Birdemic movies must be astronomical!
Glad I wasn’t the only person thinking about a sequel..
Hi, take a 15 second break with me. Enjoy the lake and the dunes. Unclench your jaw. Take a breath. Thanks for spending some time with me at the beach. I hope you feel a bit lighter now.
Hey NPR, looks like it doesn’t matter what you do, might as well get on the right side of history while you still have a voice…
Awesome, I’ll add it to the list, thanks!
Very cool, still in early access?
Thanks, I’ve heard about it but never gave it a chance, you’ve inspired me!
Alleged? We’ve all seen it.
It’s insane more rpg’s didn’t emulate the quick-time action for battles…
I don’t think we have one, yet. But I do believe we are seeing the start of grassroots/local campaigns that will lay the foundation for it. I’m hoping more people look into DSA, too.
Recent? Uhhh, this was a problem in the late 2000’s, as well. I had friends with degrees going back into bartending, because it paid better.
lol undocumented immigrants paid more in taxes last year than 55 mega corporations, they pay into a system they can’t receive benefits from too, meaning they are more productive to our society than Wal-Mart. Try again, but with facts and logic.
Arby’s Beef and Cheddar
Shoutout to the bees who died stinging her face… what’s that? She CHOSE to look like that?! Oh….
It’s a big day for cognitive dissonance
And for Pete’s sake, drink some water.
you are so indignant at your own incompetence. I hope some day you’ll let science study whatever grey matter remains. “The end”, lol!
I think you’re confusing your replies, but let me remind you that the constitution applies to everyone on US soil, which you would know if you hadn’t failed civics 50 years ago. But again, you’re working with faulty equipment, all gunked up from lead poisoning and fear/hate propaganda.
lol talking about “truth” when you have a photoshopped mctrumpgor pfp is hilarious. So deep in the delusion you can’t fathom daddy doing wrong, but it’s definitely NOT a cult!
It’s funny how you can probably trace the parroted lines to specific right wing propagandists. Like that’s definitely a fox and friends talking point haha
Lol yeah he’s done so much for you, like what exactly? Take away your Medicaid? Deployed the marines against his own citizens? Golfed while Texans died in a flood? The delusion is so deep, he could crap in your mouth, and you’d thank him for dinner.
What does that sentence even mean lol. You are clearly not in control of your own mind, please seek help.
Wow. The morons have begun to infect Bluesky. What’s wrong, did you get bored yanking each other off on twitter?
Ahhh, so it’s late-stage lead poisoning, and endless Rush Limbaugh propaganda. Hey, I’m proud of you for still being able to navigate social media, and I understand not caring about the future when the end is rapidly approaching. Must be a scary time for you.
This is why the left wants universal healthcare, including mental health. Please, seek help.
If only we had an agency that managed emergencies, possibly at the federal level… oh, wait!
The most patriotic thing you could do today is tell a tyrannical government to get stuffed.
I watched The Running Man, because that felt as appropriate as anything today.
Jeffries looks like the blue Monstar, Blanko, from the original Space Jam. I can’t unsee it, and need someone else to suffer this madness with me…
That ending might be one of the best in all of video game history…
Being against equal rights is about the dumbest position to take. You are literally against your own rights and liberties.
It may not be perfect, but the reduction in online toxicity has been wonderful. Welcome!
For real, you’d think they’d be giddy at the “destruction of the Democratic Party”, but they’re just showing it’s two wings on the same bird…
I refilled the bird bath today, and watched a robin get some relief from the heat almost instantly. Definitely, it’s the everyday magic we tend to miss…
The pearl-clutching is hilarious, I guess all that hate makes ‘em soft.
I’d love to hear what your “comfort media” is, when you’ve recovered. Masayoshi Takanaka’s music has been a boon for my soul, and kept depression at bay.
