INTERNET not interest, thank you autocorrect
I do wash my legs tho! And have a bidet, and scrub well, and wash my hands after using the bathroom... my bad habits* are not for posting on main. *popcorn for dinner
Online is a highly curated persona. I know *maybe* a few dozen folks from here IRL, some well, some not. I'm a tired mom mostly, and a complicated person, like most humans. In other words, don't pin your hopes and dreams on strangers on the interest. This is good life advice, trust me.
sorry/not sorry

I wish private equity could buy climate change so it would stop working
whatever you think of the country as a whole there are still a whole lot of great people here who deserve better than this
Shutting down replies due to the # of men smearing their own faces with fresh dog shit with "FAFO" and "move bitch". Fuck all of you to hell *specifically*
Rest in peace Sarah Marsh, may your family be lifted up by loved ones and community in all their days.
I 100% guarantee I know people who know her parents. This is a small world. Go reflect on what it means to be a human. You are failing right now.
An 8yo girl from Mountain Brook- the community next to where we live- a girl who our son may have swum next to at camp last summer- died at camp in the horrid Texas floods. Fuck every last one of you who is gloating about red states getting what we deserve. I hope you choke on dog shit. Go away.
You can play test a new video game đŽ đ called âScriptoriumâ and in it: âRun your manuscript workshop, receive orders to illustrate medieval books, decorate them any way you like, send them back to clients to get paid, and unlock new jobs, decorations & items.â Gimme two Isidores & an Augustine.
tired of typing insults, so here is a reply meme free for personal use
This made me wonder if I had ever seen an inkwell from OK Egypt. They had them in the Middle Kingdom--- wooden boxes mostly, and ceramic ones in the Ptolemaic/Roman period... and scribal palette all periods. Not split nib w inkwell in modern sense... will ask my encyclopedia Egyptologist husband.
His face looks like Toth as its starting to melt
This is an argument I have to make every time people say anything along the lines of âfuck the Deep Southâ in my mentions. The Deep South has the highest density of Black people anywhere in the country. Alabamaâs population is 28% Black people. Do you think they voted for Trump?
This is ART please share
When we can love and respect all people of all faiths and cultures... we win. We all rise together.
Does this mean I am antisemitic l?: please pound dirt. There are MASSIVE threats to Jews here and abroad. I am ALSO loudly against antisemitism. It is possible to be many things at once!
If you use your power to threaten foreign colleagues with deportation, holy smokes. Retire and go away forever.
I want to be very clear: I have been supportive of Palestinians before Oct 7th, and been supporting them loudly since, and been vocally against the ongoing genocide there. Anyone in my field who use their power to attacks/threaten junior colleagues who share anti-genocide sentiments... you are seen.
anyone who got on social media after 2014 or so is under the mistaken impression that the primary goal of social media is for it to Accomplish Something while those of us who have been on since the start know the true purpose of social media is to give us a place to Post so we don't go (more) insane
Let me get this straight: white people can falsely claim Indigenous heritage without y'all batting an eyelid, but there is no space for a multicultural diaspora group to express "It's complicated, no boxes here fit me?" Mkay.
Y'allllll this "house" people bought to renovate on the Amalfi coast has no roof and has been a "ruin" for centuries. Also they're in their 50s and I really hope they are paying other people to do the labor. m.youtube.com/watch?v=arLp...
The name âCrĂŠmieuxâ that Jordan Lasker uses is a specific, deeply anti-Muslim dog whistle: a reference to the CrĂŠmieux Decree â the official anti-Islam policy of colonial France, making Muslims in Algeria second-class citizens. Who the fuck even *knows* that, let alone makes it their _name_? Bigots.
Did you know every time you say âsomeone is toast,â you are paying homage to that great linguistic innovator, Bill Murray.

Hundreds of articles like this one. Garbage corrupt org www.propublica.org/article/dist...
I'm seeing some of you say horrid things about Texas re the flooding and please shut the fuck up, children are dead, some some sympathy you ghouls... I live in a deep red state and we are the way we are because of gerrymandering and racism. Donate to vetted local orgs not the Red Cross.
I saw something super fishy at the Farmer's Market this AM
Sorry no Mar a Lago face. No need when you are hot AF and are happy with yourself
I am also incensed and exploding
Happy 4th y'all!
Trump wishes it was 1790, when the US was 15, so he could sleep with it

Hey for whoever is running this account, tell Patrick to fuck off and eat dog shit (but with a fork so he can be all civilized)
What if I brought back sexy
I am not paid to be a volunteer for non profits for multi week time commitments. Y'all do great work. I cannot help.
I get a very interesting request in my inbox once a week from a cool org asking me if I would help them do X. I have zero spoons for this anymore. I won't have any spoons for a long time. I don't even have the spoons to respond. Lord I am tired.
Yes I am aware he was born outside US, who care
He will win by the biggest margins in history come Nov, keep it up!
What I think is infuriating the NYT, centrist Dem losers, and the Nazis is that Mamdani is inhaling their rank racism and bigotry like video game power-up cubes, and he has now leveled up to Famous Handsome Future President.
100%
WTF???
Just go jump off a pier and go away
Like is that your answer to solving the racism at the NYT? Yelling at their best writer? Mkay.
Lovely to see y'all screaming at a black man on the 4th of July to quit his job and do your bidding, congrats on your horrific racism. Delete your accounts.
My mom and stepdad are from the same diaspora group as Zohran Mamdaniâs dad (same like âmy stepdad was kicked out of the same town and knows some of his classmatesâ) and apparently the New York Times doesnât understand how diaspora works, so I am going to tell you a little about my momâs people!
They're the greatest family in America, folks, absolutely undefeated and unable to be defeated
I can't change much but I can teach about the long arc of multiculturalism and its deep ties to British colonialism
Do you think Zohran would Zoom in as a guest?
I am VERY grateful for the horrific racism and bigotry of the NYT, I've now learned enough about the fascinating Indian-Ugandan diaspora to teach it this fall đ thanks y'all
America is beautiful, contradictory, unfinished. I am proud of our country even as we constantly strive to make it better, to protect and deepen our democracy, to fulfill its promise for each and every person who calls it home. Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
they really turned a guy who was gonna get a bit more press than the average mayor into an international household name, well done
Just watered my garden, it was as dry as Ben Shapiro's wife
I think a lot about how a historian specializing in the Civil War told me if we had hung all the generals and most of the Confederate officers for treason post war we'd be a completely different country today. I wonder if we'll learn.
lol the NYT closed the comment section on their racist Mamdani hit piece and pushed it down from a headline to a tiny article almost at the bottom of the web site. Will never admit they were wrong, but someone certainly realized it was backfiring
Iâm biracial (US dad, Ethiopian mom US born) and moved to Kenya at 4, had lots of Kenyan Indian friends, families there generations. When I moved to the states I didnât know I was Black or have any idea of the American binary concept of race until someone called me the n word.
There are ways to say things without fedposting but it requires an understanding of the English language and hoo boy, it is not working for you.
Y'all really are fedposting aren't you. Enjoy that FBI knock and your life ruined đŤĄ
In Shiraz, Iran, they are using late antique Sassanid art in adverts to symbolize resistance to the West. Theyâve remixed the relief (c.260-272 CE) of Shapur I at NaqĹĄ-e Rustam, receiving the surrender of Philip and capture of Valerian www.tehrantimes.com/news/514978/... Reception history for sure.
cleanliness is gay
PS "disgusting" refers here to the UNITED STATES for their lack of bidets in case that is not super clear
This story brought me joy. â¤ď¸
Charlie thinks brown people don't use soap like him but I've travelled all over the world and a huge % of earth uses bidets and does not eat with their left hands unlike the US which is disgusting (we put have them in our house). He said on main his hands are shit covered. JFC.
This is depraved behavior from the NYT.
I heard when Mamdani was 18 months old, he smeared poop on the wall next to his crib when his diaper leaked, please NYT run this essential headline đđť it changes everything
Countdown till he is revealed to be a pedophile in 3...2...
Neither here nor there but "Cremieux Recuil" sounds like the nickname an unemployable basement swelling chode who is not allowed within 1000ft of schools or malls gives his jizz
âNew York Timesâ Announces New Columnist Will Contribute Nothing To Society 3 Times A Week
"Mr Mamdani, one more question from the NYT. We brought our Very Special Boiâ˘ď¸ calipers and I know it's a bit strange, but we have a certain demographic we are trying to reach which would LOVE to know some of your head measurements, could you come down from the podium, will just take 5 minutes."
Everything youâre saying on here, youâre saying to a cop. Shut the fuck up.
100% agree
Been away all day and I come back to find out that the NYT is using hacked student data from an anonymous source, sent from the Gmail account "SeigHeilPepeWarrior1488" ...but who knows the political beliefs of the sender, it's a mystery. Concerning!
the republican party is a modern day Slave Power and the only way forward for this country is to sweep it into the ash heap of history
Little Bitches, the lot
If you've been misled by Outkast's upbeat performance, listen to the song as an acoustic cover: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c745...
"This." He said. "This is what Nazis are like. This is what Nazis do. And there's only one way you can stop a Nazi. And it's not tricking them into painting graffiti while you sneak into their base. You stop a Nazi by killing it." He said it. I'll never remember the tone he used.
This does not mean no UBI for anyone else.
That's the skeet
UBI for all artists
So cooked, you were done before the oven beeped
Someone is going to post below about how we cannot stoop to insulting Nazi aesthetics and I invite you to eat shit in advance
Who wore it better
Mocking fascists is Goodâ˘ď¸ and mocking how they look and what they wear is IMPORTANT because evil has aesthetics and if you want to come here and argue with me, an Anthropologist, about how culture reflects+ amplifies norms hoo boy, good luck, go back to Disney and rewatch 'em all đ
Hakeem Jeffries can *redacted*
So let me get this straight: Dems are concerned that hundreds of thousands of their constituents will die from a lack of Medicaid but don't give a shit about US $$$ funding a genocide in Gaza and are super OK with hundreds of thousands of dead innocent Palestinians. Got it đŤĄ
So good. 100% endorse
OH MY GOD YES... I have *a very specific complaint* about that cheating bastard Londo Mollari from Babylon 5, he used his dick tail to hold his triangle mirror and that fucker won the round... ICE better come through.
this is the time for scifi fans to exercise the ultimate depth and breadth of their creativity make them shut down the hotline use all your best Borg jokes
why did this make me laugh
There was a *10* minute delay in the feeding of our cats this AM and they wanted me to tell you they are now all dead from starvation. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
Everything is awful and dead and so is your fashion sense
Not the point but can we talk about how these two raggety ghouls are dressed? Collins looks like she got that suit from Discount Clown and Murkowski looks like Temu Cruella with a hairstyle that belongs on a 16yo in 1975. Is her hobo wrap the only thing keeping her soul from leaving her body?
