Finally saw Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (it was awesome) and had to update my playlist. Cheers!

After 16 years on this platform, I've decided I can't, in good conscience, remain somewhere that openly supports fascists & their acolytes. If you follow me here, you can find me over on Bluesky @Shellyjanuary. I'll be shutting this account down in a few months. #GoodbyeTwitter

It’s IVF, it’s Taylor Swift at a football game, it’s Beyoncé singing country, it’s college kids voting, it’s E Jean Carroll punching back…

These weirdos absolutely hate the idea of a woman with even a shred of power.

Remember that in November.

All life is fragile and that goes double for kittens. I am very sorry to hear about Tater Tot (the internet famous kitten).

The people that even TRY to help fragile little cats are so special, bc it often turns out sad — but it’s better than not trying

I loved Pee-wee Herman. He and his world were just WEIRD AF and I looooooved it. Everything was alive and happy and bizarre, he flew on a bike, technology was good, there was a bumbling pterodactyl, oh man, it was the BEST.

Thank you, Paul Reubens. ❤️

When you pay for shit, they take your money right away but when it is time for that refund…

“OK and that amount will be refunded to your original form of payment in 7days to 12 years.”

@IndieStacks Much more collectable than the 50 states (and now people, monuments, and I don't even know what else anymore), that's for sure.

This #PrideMonth, it is important to recognize non-binary and gender nonconforming people have been here from the beginning of the U.S. Here is a thread on one of the most influential such persons in early America. An abolitionist minister known as The Public Universal Friend. 1/

If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.

70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that - which would have impacted them and their patrons.

@katlikespie I tried everything I could think of (including everything ppl here have already mentioned) to get my nail polish to stick, but it would always start peeling literally within 24 hours. I *HIGHLY* recommend Orly Bonder, because that's the only thing I could find to help it stick.
