I wear JFashion and I build Gundam models.

In honor of #PrideMonth, since WWE themselves won’t acknowledge it. Here’s a not so thoroughly detailed thread of many current and former WWE Superstars that are allies to the community.

[Vivian @suchnerve]

but can we please acknowledge how bonkers it is to talk about terraforming other planets like it’s achievable and then ALSO talk about stopping climate change like it’s not??

8 in 10 married women have changed their surname which means they don’t have a birth certificate that matches their current legal name.

69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act.

The GOP is trying to silence women across the country. #HandsOffHerVote

It will never cease to amaze that Americans basically just got bored of having the best lives on the planet so they elected a lunatic to blow it up in the hopes of building some microwave factories for their children to find meaning in.

People who grew up with really controlling authoritarian parents legit need deprogramming like former cult members

They damned us to forever-pandemic “for the economy” and then tanked it on purpose anyway.

I can forgive a lot, but. My god. None of it had to be this way.

5/6 No Strategic Depth

A tariff is a tactic, not a strategy. Real development requires control over finance, coordinated public investment, long-term technological goals, and the insulation of key sectors from external shocks.

The U.S. has none of this. It operates on quarterly earnings and election cycles, not national development horizons.

Tariffs without structural change are just nationalist theater performed for a decaying electorate.

China plans in decades, not quarters. It integrates trade, infrastructure, education, and labor development under a unified vision—driven by statecraft, not market speculation.

I crave a good explanation of how outright and obvious lying became completely acceptable in one narrow slice of American life and somehow that slice is “the people in charge of the country.”

On Thursday, the HHS moved to eliminate the Administration for Community Living (ACL), a subsidiary established in 2012 to support disabled and aging people.

The shutdown, part of wider cuts, will mean “more people forced into institutional settings.”https://t.co/1k9RdfIneM

in the US you have to exist counter to the culture to not live a sedentary lifestyle. it's obviously possible, but it takes up so much mental space.

I went to a neurodiversity event today.

Sadly every thing was about children.

People seem to forget autism, ADHD… exist beyond 18.

There's something I'm not understanding about the <deporting Venezuelans to an El Salvador supermax prison> thing.

Well, several things, in no particular order.

You don't deport someone to a prison, you deport them to their country.

El Salvador is not their country.

And these are not criminals. They've not been convicted of anything. And they're being sent to prison. In a country that isn't America or Venezuela.

And they were sent there without any due process. No trial. No court. No conviction.

For some of them, it was based on their tattoos?

And they're going to be held for a year, then that term extended at will?? Without any convictions??

What the fork is going on?

Where's this going to lead?

11/ Democracy isn’t self-sustaining.

It requires us to choose it — again and again.

Not with platitudes. But with vigilance, accountability, and courage.

We still have time. But not forever.

1) Look, some people aren’t reading the room about where public anger goes in terms of civil unrest and destruction of property. Teslas are nothing compared to the 1877 Great Railroad Strike. Locomotive roundhouse, a railyard, all the rolling stock, and a depot were torched. ⬇️

5 common things autistic people experience that most people don't know...

1. Sleep apnea
2. Allergies
3. Teeth grinding
4. Stomach issues
5. Temp regulation issues

Let me know if you want me to do a deeper dive into any of these...

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

not to defend the robber barons but Andrew Carnegie, the richest man of his era, gave away 90 percent of his wealth and funded the building of 2,811 libraries, and I’m afraid the current crop of oligarchs isn’t sending their best.
