40-something. White. Politics, interior design, games, nature, pagan, nerd. Fuck the patriarchy & fuck respectability bullshit. She/her.

The song I keep coming back to this year - because of personal fears & trials & grief, nostalgia, the reminder of being connected to others, even people I don't know but whose stories scroll by. "Please, remember me."

something about books getting smaller to save the planet while endless AI swallows glaciers whole to "summarize" emails

I said months ago that people needed something to vote for, not against, and I was right.

Not looking for any apologies from Tom Nichols at all, & I wouldn't accept them even if he offered, because he's got a mean pattern of behavior he doesn't care about breaking.

Mere hours after this, a school was bombed killing ~100. I saw a video of a father cradling his dead child whose head was split open. All we have to do is enforce our laws. That’s it. #NotAnotherBomb is the only way to a ceasefire.

FYI, I'm keeping interactions on here on the rare side. I don't want to support this platform *at all* but I also don't want that fucker to take over my username and/or delete my data. (Which I need to back up again.)

[molly conger @socialistdogmom]

as a neonazi posting in a yahoo group said in 2003,
"why, even under the best of circumstances, is the movement always tainted with just a slight little tinge of cadaverine smell? why are we constantly confronted with this kind of just plain WEIRD BEHAVIOR?"
come find out with me

[Marc Lamont Hill @marclamonthill]

No.

MAGA now saying kyle rittenhouse should be in jail because he dared critique the cult is so beyond damning. they knew he was guilty all along, but they’re okay with cold blooded murder when it’s people they don’t like

[cuppatea @lady_pistons]

I've been angry about this for years now, but it's the kind of anger that mostly stays on a simmer because you really can't afford to let it overwhelm you, ever.

The rest of the time? Like right now? I'm glad I'd never meet them. That lid would come right off.

i am so distraught that the most privileged people alive can start a global witch hunt against a woman for being insufficiently feminine. jk rowling, logan paul, elon musk. braindead, morally bankrupt people who traumatized someone 4 life and will wake up tomorrow and get coffee

Doodlebug would be either hiding in a tunnel or napping inconveniently. Biscuit is the percher.

[Jorts (and Jean) @JortsTheCat]

See this was just a nice sensible regular-person response to hysterical weirdness

[cuppatea @lady_pistons]

@JortsTheCat Wow. That is a genuine, surprised, pleased "wow" from me.

[cuppatea @lady_pistons]

@ElieNYC Spite. That's the long and short of it, really. Spite. I'm not giving these fuckers a goddamn thing, including my joy.

[cuppatea @lady_pistons]

@ElieNYC This is why I'm about fixing the hole AND fixing the bucket.

I dunno, seems like the GOP nominee for president expansively praising authoritarian and violently repressive strongman rule, and suggesting our country would benefit from it, should maybe be front page news

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

"Elon Musk gives me $45 million a month."
"We have to make life good for people like him."

Donald Trump understands this is a bribe, and you should too.

Oligarchs and corporations have turned our elections into auctions.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

We gotta stop telling “both sides” to tone down the political rhetoric

Trump wasn’t attacked by a transgender member of MS-13 who snuck in w/the Mexican caravan to be radicalized by Black Lives Matter while majoring in CRT at Antifa University

It was just another random, Dollar Store white boy with an unregistered, easily purchased semi-automatic light rifle BECAUSE IT ALWAYS IS

[southpaw @nycsouthpaw]

Demanding that certain acts of political violence be rejected by all in the name of unity, while another act of political violence not be mentioned because it “polarizes Americans” (i.e., is still embraced by Republicans) gives the whole wretched game away.

[Jared Holt @jaredlholt]

In the wake of news like this, it is worth all the extra effort to double and triple check your sources. There is going to be a lot of insane conspiracy theories and speculation flying around. Pause, think, and exercise healthy skepticism. The facts will come out eventually
