@Liv_Agar @shoeripper was gonna call this the wildest crossover ever but actually a rad trans girl showing up at a melee tournament is not all that surprising

I've revived my substack to write about the toxic fantasy of narrative closure while the world burns.

"I’m sure we’ve all reveled in moments of comeuppance. But I’m sick and tired of waiting for justice to be dispensed by the cataclysm."

@jesawyer I've had these ones and they're noticeably worse than the ones they sell in Canada ?? so I only buy the purple label ones now. but I may just be an all-dressed chips snob so ymmv

[✨ Kaelan ✨ @kaelanDM]

@dieworkwear is cold safer than heat for this? the last time i had an infestation i got rid of it by putting all of my clothes in the freezer

[✨ Kaelan ✨ @kaelanDM]

@jesawyer I'm not letting myself listen to all the iphone concert videos bc I'd rather just wait until the album comes out .... but I hope they know how much pain they're causing by forcing me to scroll past them

Scavengers Reign is in my top 3 animated shows of all time. if anyone still takes recommendations from twitter, take this one when it comes to Netflix!

[Variety @Variety]

EXCLUSIVE: “Scavengers Reign” has been canceled at Max, but all hope is not yet lost for the show.

Beginning on May 31, Season 1 of the animated animated sci-fi drama will begin streaming on Netflix. https://t.co/gv2joW3mfN

U of C's plans to clear the camp were so heavy handed the *Chicago Police* told them they were overreacting

[Eman Abdelhadi @emanabdelhadi]

The point of this raid was terror. They waited for those kids to fall asleep. And then they pulled the tents from under them while they were sleeping. Shame on the University of Chicago.

@Sasunaruwhor3 aww thank you so much!! i'm really glad you enjoyed it 😊🍵
