Do you people not understand that every time you cast a vote for a bad democrat you’re co-signing their behavior and telling them they don’t have to change? You’re telling them it doesn’t matter how bad they get you’re gonna keep voting for them anyway? THIS IS NOT HOW YOU CREATE PROGRESS
My inner stage manager is twitching at the time.
Um guys. Wasn't there supposed to be a huge announcement at 2pm? I just logged on but am seeing... nothing. Seriously, not even in the news feed. Did I miss something?
And now that you've scrolled this far, there's really not a point to this, just an observation. I read 2 anti atheist threads this morning & just saw another one & it made me curious. I know someone will tell me atheists are assholes, but you can say that about any person in any religion. 5/5
religious discussions, simply because they tend to get very heated & let's be honest, religions & spirituality are very personal so ppl are going to be protective. However, I read a lot of discussions. I really have been surprised by the hatred & so often umprompted vitriol /4
What's interesting to me is other people's views on atheists. Holy shit ppl blame them for literally everything bad happening. I believed in faeries & never got shit for it. Tell someone you don't believe in gods & damn it's like you slapped their kids. I don't get into a lot of actual /3
These days I'd consider myself an atheist. Next week is 3yrs since my dad died unexpectedly. That's when I realized. He's gone. He's not lingering, not going to suddenly appear at night & tell me he loves & misses me. Anyway. That's where I am now. I don't see it changing because it feels right. /2
I was raised Catholic. Full Italian Roman Catholic incl. school. I left the church at 13yo & haven't been since. Thought I we Wiccan/Pagan for a long time. Grasped desperately at the thought of magic, Mother Nature, reincarnation, ghosts. I saw things I couldn't explain & it was comforting. /1 🧵
Romeo and Juliet is one of the most under rated songs and it kills me how many people don't know it.
I'm of the mind that if you can't tell me what a vulva is and use it in a sentence properly then you don't get to regulate it. (That goes for all genders! Learn your body parts and stop calling it a vajayjay or your peepee. Please. At least pretend we're adults. )
We all need a little magic right about now. Here's just a little piece to get you thru the day.
Unfortunately it's impossible for me, but it's nice to dream sometimes.
Thank you so much!
You all tired of flare spam yet? I read this on reddit, the OP was asking about masking with autism & the difference in masking from impulse control. There's a lot of very thoughtful responses & really good dialog. I'm not autistic myself, but as a different variety of neurospicy I enjoy learning.
I hate when ppl/events/grps announce that they're going to make an announcement in the future. It's all ego & attention. No one cares about an announcement of an announcement. Fucking announce it when you're ready. We have other things to do & honestly we're giving him too much of our energy & time
My concern is if you don't actually have one of those conditions, insurance may not cover it. They can also drop you for lying.
That's the other thing that drives me crazy, it's almost always cis men going off about birth rates & most of them are usually the exact type no one wants to fuck. Until cis men as a collective can carry a fetus to term, they all need to shut the fuck up about reproduction.
There's really not much difference in countries, is there? The right wing & the bigots & racists, they're everywhere & they seem to all have the same playbook. I just want to enjoy the last few years I have.
I honestly thought it was a city or area name, so now I've gone down a rabbit hole so thank you for that! I love learning about new places. Question: since Aotearoa is the original Maori name did I pretty much say New Zealand New Zealand like saying ATM machine? The song is beautiful btw!
I'm guessing it is to overshadow the news conference on Wednesday morning. They want us looking over there when they're hiding shit over here.
Late night post con, flare fever thoughts: who the fuck cares about birth rates & why do they think theyve any right to decide when human beings die out? No one wants kids? Bummer. Maybe if the world didn't SUCK ppl would want then. Maybe lets wrap on the human experiment since we're horrible at it
I really want to move to Aotearoa NZ. Anyone adopting a middle-aged woman from the US?
It's helped me a lot in processing trauma, and just in life in general. It helps when I have an intrusive thought or a reaction to something or someone which makes me ask myself wtf was that!? I can take a beat and realize, nope that's how I was raised, not how I think or who I am.
You would think that with Whiskey Pete having a whole makeup studio at the WH, they could match foundation shades.
So, did you burn your mouth or did you burn your mouth?
I had a teacher tell me once that our 1st initial reaction to something is how society has programmed us. It's our second reaction plus our response that are our morals & values. It's part of the unlearning process
He went on to give a confusing and difficult-to-follow answer about "crazy" women "screaming" & "spitting" in men's faces, while the men feel unable to do anything about it. "These guys are just — they wouldn’t — but they can’t do it. Now they can do it. So I said, 'they spit, we hit'. Right?"
Everyone who voted for him, voted 3rd party, didn't vote: may you live a long life where the voices of the dead whisper in your ears when you close your eyes, that your pillow is always on the warm side, and your socks always damp. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...
Can I order them online?
It was at Dragoncon this weekend in Atlanta. They were kicked out and knowing how serious Dragoncon is against AI art, they've probably been banned. Hopefully this will help them identify any holes in their decision making so real vendors aren't getting wait listed because of AI.
No cows here. Just lots of cicadas.
I love this so SO much. We need more amazing teachers like this and we need to PAY THEM what they're worth. This is how you fight fascism.
I just noticed the "bone-petite", it gets funnier and funnier.
I'm developing a serious political crush over this man. AND he used alt text. Swoon.
I was searching for a picture earlier and saw this. What year is it? Apparently my phone both tells the future, but it's also my past. Listen, if I'm straddling multiverses can you just knock me into the other one? (Yes, they're mostly pictures of my cats.)
We have our own crew of OSHA kitties as well.
We were just at Tybee Island in Georgia and got to see the turtle nests. Learned everyone on the island with ocean facing windows turn off their lights after 9pm to keep from confusing the turtles once they hatch & head to the ocean.
Top center of picture, beach entrance, Tybee Island, Georgia. East coast.
I tend to wear sandals to the beach. I've never considered taking off my shoes until we get to wherever we're setting up base. I mean, if sand from the beach I'm standing on gets onto my flip-flop, I just shake it off. I'm absolutely not risking my shoes disappearing before I leave.
Dear gods. I'm 49, please tell me I don't look that bad.
As someone living in GA but hoping to get back out to the PNW, I really am going to miss the sounds of the cicadas.
I am so proud at the folks in my little town who came out to stand up to Fascism! This is a tribute to the folks in California who did this, wearing black outfits, covering their faces. It was an honor to film this for my community. If you look carefully you'll see my mom waving.
I want. I'll take two. C'mon Lego, make magic happen.
Considering he won't answer any of the actual questions put to him, this was never a good faith conversation and just another boomer wanting it all their way.
Well damn. I loved him in everything I've seen him in. Some amazing talent and comedic timing.
What single issue voter are you referring to? Or just lost?
Pause the causes. Oh goodie, another day of let's throw a minority under the bus because as long as the attention is on them, I can keep on living my life of privilege w/o being bothered. Fuck all the way off w/that.
That's it! It's been driving me crazy about what was driving me crazy over that scene.
Next to no one was masked at Dragoncon on Saturday night. I do not have high hopes.
I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist & I don't think he's dead (yet) but I've been cackling @ the pics today. Why does every picture look like a pic of what Big Foot and Nessie look like? The 80s want their Polaroid back. Did your phone suddenly lose it's zoom function? Random earthquake?Blur is in
Thank you! This is exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate it!
The labeling seems to be getting worse instead of better. I won't buy anything that reads "spices" or "flavoring" because you just don't know. I've dropped 40lbs in the last year, not on purpose, in large part due to lack of safe foods.
did nothing but trigger constant panic attacks. So those masks are no longer an option. If I have to keep pulling it off my face, it's not able to do it's job. I know to get N95 but I don't want to give Amazon my money. Any small businesses sell masks? #disability #Lupus #RA #fibro #spoonie #masking
I need to get new masks. I rarely leave the house, so I've been using the masks that I've had since 2020. Worked fine up until this weekend. I've been getting mini panic attacks lately along w/ my flares. Mini cause they're not as bad as my "regular" panic attacks. Saturday at con my mask 1/2
I'm convinced that's why everything has Sriracha, jalapeños, or chili peppers in it. As someone with Gastroparesis that causes all sorts of food issues who is also allergic to capsaicin, I'm running out of foods that are safe to eat.
Well, according to Google, the minimum wage was $4.25. Sounds high in my memory, but I wasn't paid under the table, so apparently I made a sweet dollar more than I remember.
Cleaned the women's locker room of a gym for $3.15/hr. I was 14 years old.
Sorry, had to block him once he decided to spam my page. Here's the original. Give me a sec and I'll post the alt text in the comments. (Low spoons, sorry)
Sadly, in Georgia, we don't get many snowy days, but I'm still working on moving out to the PNW.
You're precious.
We have a Cardinal family in our backyard. Mom, dad, and two juveniles from last year, and we think possibly there may be a new one this year. Dad and Junior (male) absolutely know they look good and spend more time preening by the food bowl than eating.
The eyeliner pencils‼️ Brilliant‼️ NO 🛋️ FRIEND‼️
Right!?! And we have time. It's disturbing the amount of ppl who are like, fuck the work, pick that guy, he looks nice. Nah, doesn't matter what he does to the ppl of CA, he's got a great social media person, let's pick him! And now we don't have to think about it for 3yrs.
This is why alt text and captioning are important. Speaking of alt text, ahem: User wordclown posted on Twitter: "If only there were a Pulitzer for closed captioning." Below is a screen capture of JD Vance giving a speech. The closed captioning reads: [single person clapping]
Good job @dragoncon.org So glad to see it. #ArtByHumsns
Bee butts & Jimmy the grasshopper. #BloomScrolling #puttering #gardening #GardenSky #roses
In a thread regarding Newsom. Yes, he really did say "until he sets trans people on fire". Mind you, there's 3yrs until a possible presidential election, but they're already willing to rubber stamp Newsom who is doing the same fucking things to trans ppl & homeless as the current regime.
I hope every marginalized & minority person in your life reads this and realizes you are not a safe person. You're no better than the MAGATs who don't care who dies or is destroyed as long as it's not them. Fuck all the way off with "until he sets trans people on fire".
I always find it telling that, for the most part, the only people who get Labor Day off work are the executives and not actually anyone doing the labor. That should tell you everything about this country that you need to know.
I've always called them fire and ice roses and I'm pretty sure that's what Costco called them that too, which is where I bought them.
Great, sure, let's sacrifice fellow human beings just because of the zip code they happen to live in. You realize most major cities in red states are also blue, right? We're sacrificing them too?
For me it's even worse when it's a supposed news site whose only schtick is to post images of news stories. For some reason that pisses me off more. Kinda like having breaking news behind a pay wall.
And can have a fancy, matching cattle catcher added to the front.
Oh I'm sure HIPAA isn't long for this world either.
We need to start a campaign to inundate DeSantis' office with boxes of chalk. Then at least they can be donated to the schools after.
Please remember there's an A in DEIA that's for accessibility. You're walking for transit. Could I roll the same path?
Wow, that is some serious spin set up, an entire paragraph of something that supposedly happened somewhere other than where the accident took place, before the accident took place, to an entirely different person. No woman is telling Rudy Giuliani her DV story. Can't wait to hear the real story.
I've been threatening to carry a cattle prod.
The swag from last night at @dragoncon.org & it's awesome. Few fave stand outs: the unsolicited dick pick, the f bomb, & my mini duck army. I collect those every year. Plus: the trio that does the origami found me again so I'm getting a collection. Minus: 1st yr I didn't find a dragon egg #SwagNSeek
Parked next to this Kia and discovered they had done the same Poor Unfortunate Soul in vinyl as I had. Unfortunately the car was still there when we left so they didn't get to see. I love @dragoncon.org peeps.
TIL there's a "Pentagon Pizza Index" and I'm both highly amused & utterly horrified that it's just that easy to "know" (as much as we can as peons) when our government is "working" late. You'd think maybe they'd switch it up. Order Chinese. I hear there's sandwich shops nearby.
It's the guns. It's always been the guns. It'll always be the guns. Until there are laws about the guns.
Like the rock star billionaire and football millionaire don't have teams of lawyers and accountants handling it. I love all these articles who are like omg she MUST get a prenup!! Omg! Omg! Ya think? I'm sure they've got this handled.
Back in the days we had an after dark track. Those were some fun times.
Eugenics is Eugenics. I don't care where you live or what political party you're registered with. If you're ok with 1 single person dying to make your life more comfortable, you're no different than the whole regime. Congratulations. You made this world, now you get to live in it. If you live. 4/4
I live in a red state. Why? Because 30yrs ago I moved here & haven't been able to afford to move elsewhere. Apparently that means I'm expendable. Tell me this: when did we start deciding ppls worth based on geography? How is this different than a MAGAt wanting me dead? /3
Ourselves & everyone else so miserable? Why is there such a need for war & genocide? Just read 3 skeets in a row about ppl on the left perfectly willing to sacrifice ppl living in red states. When I say sacrifice, they are literally ok w/ppl dying. Guess what? /2
I'm Lizzy. I'm a middle aged, white, cis, queer, bisexual, disabled, atheist, who does not have a political affiliation because all parties suck. I believe all ppl deserve life, liberty, & happiness, as well as healthcare, food, & education. We got 1 life, why do we spend so much time making 🧵 /1
Oh Puppy, you would have loved them. If I had thought they were old enough I would have invited them out to the Eagle. The puppies would have loved them. Such a sweetheart.
🧵 When I say "worth every spoon" this is what I mean. All these stories make up my Dragoncon.
Had a beautiful, nonbinary teen come up to me at @dragoncon.org to tell me they look for me in my Evil Queen every year & I am a part of their con weekend. Y'all. I teared up. Then this gorgeous human being asked for my pic & let me hug them. This is my #Dragoncon2025 Stay tuned for Con Dad story
Sunday is a great day if you want to dip your toes in the pool. Still enough people to feel like Dragoncon but not the crowds like Friday night and Saturday night.
I'm here! Come find me at the Marriott outside of the Pulse bar next to the Velocity restaurant. I have ribbons and buttons! #Dragoncon #Dragoncon2025 #EvilQueen #ribbons #LoyalOrderOfRibbons
Sometimes when you take a minute to smell the roses, you meet a little friend. #BloomScrolling #GardenSky #roses #gardening #puttering
Talk about gallows humor, but damn, I needed tonight. So, thank you Bluesky for that party preview. The levity is much appreciated. Now to bed with me so I can attempt @dragoncon.org in the morning.
Well, I will be at Dragoncon tomorrow with 80k other people...
French cats must be very fancy. My cats just go meow.
Has any reporter checked Signal yet? I mean, why speculate when I'm sure it's in some non confidential group chat.
Unfortunately the Simpsons thing has been debunked, but would have been hysterical if they predicted that too.
Plus side of being an atheist, I never have to go through the shit ever again.
