This is my last night on social media for the next six months at least, and I'm gonna miss y'all. Also if the revolution kicks off someone text me please, I rarely leave the house and it'll take me forever to figure it out.
I said abolish and I fucking meant it

Impurely and debaucherously. And from close up. Black Lives Matter. #toastietwitter she/her
Well. She's a doctor. He's an academic administrator. And I'm an autistic woman currently disabled by severe burnout so. Pretty bad!
Bethany Albertson@albertsonb2.bsky.social · 3w agoThought experiment- if you were suddenly appointed to do your sibling’s job, how badly would you suck at it?
In my first story with Kelley French for @notus.com, I spoke to the woman pictured in the Metro photo on July 4. She didn't know she went viral. Her family wants people to know their difficult reality. Please take some time with our story today www.notus.org/metro/viral-...
The Woman in the Photo Wanted to Be Alone. Instead, She Went Viral.
America saw what it wanted to see on the face of its newest icon. And everyone saw it wrong.

You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.
I hate when I'm doing better and then I'm doing much worse and even though I know overall I'm better than I was a year ago, it still sucks when I'm worse than last month for no reason. It's like this Liz and Mollie comic but it DOESN'T FEEL OKAY. www.instagram.com/p/CbAzKoDp03U/
From this thread, it would seem my husband's recipe for Fakerade is effective, so here it is: 14 oz glass water Half a teaspoon of salt 2 oz mango nectar Very tasty and imo easier to keep down than things like Pedialyte, which make me feel nauseous bc of the fake chemically flavor.
Rachel Hall-Clifford, PhD, MPH, MSc@rahallclifford.bsky.social · 3w agoHi. We're in the Age of Diarrhea. I'm a global health expert on helping children survive diarrhea. Here's what to do if you might have picked up cyclospora. 🧵 1. Call your primary care if possible. 2. Take oral rehydration therapy, which isn't just drinking fluids. 1/
The third act of A Christmas Carol, one of the most famous examples of "don't die a dickhead, " was the ghost showing Scrooge how happy everyone was that he died and it was a big motivator for him to stop being a piece of shit and still we got a bunch of dickhead Dems talking up Lindsey Graham
Wilson: I guarantee you there are 10 reporters in D.C. right now who know exactly what Mitch McConnell’s medical status is. They’re not reporting it. If I’m Beshear, brother, just declare the election. And if they want to prove that Mitch McConnell is alive and well, go do it.
No statement from Mitch McConnell on the sudden passing of his senate colleague? So much for decorum
Showed this to my husband all teehee maybe there will be more buckets kicked and he was like "yeah but the sad part is our dads are also in that cohort" and BABY WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT.
Chad Loder@chadloder.dev · 4w agoThe thing about being ruled by a gerontocracy is that cohort mortality is a probability density, meaning all these fuckers start dying around the same time -- in clusters. The same Weibull Distribution "bathtub curve" explains why batches of light bulbs and hard drives all die in the same month.
My Senator honestly nailing his condolences post. Shocked to hear about it, not saddened. We worked on stuff together, I got to know him, I have nothing kind to say about what I came to know of him so I shall say nothing further on that. My sympathies to his family, end transmission. 👍
Senator Jeff Merkley@merkley.senate.gov · 3w ago
This is not a constitutional republic anymore. I’m not saying we can’t get it back, but right now the US is an autocracy.
No wonder various Dem Senators couldn't help admiring his wit and humor when they could have just sent thoughts and prayers to his family.
anti-zionist dog 🇵🇸@puppydoggaming.bsky.social · 3w agoi will say lindsey graham being asked by a reporter how mitch mcconnell is doing, answering “i don’t know, i’m going to check right now” and then dying is hilarious
How about when he threw an angry tantrum in defense of a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of rape? Did you all have a good collegial chuckle over that?
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · 3w agoWhat I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.
Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.
Phil Plait@philplait.bsky.social · 3w agoWhen a politician dies we see a lot of hagiographies about them. If you mention they were a terrible person IRL, you get chastised. My feeling? If you don't want people to talk shit about you after you die, don't be shitty when you're alive.
I’m saddened to announce the passing of my work colleague, The Zodiac Killer. While we were often on opposing sides of the business, I always enjoyed his silly little scavenger hunts.
I assume the gods knew how sad I was about today's World Cup games and wanted to make it up to me.
Trump dying this week immediately after Graham and likely McConnell would be extremely on brand for my he’s a Greek Mythological Figure meant to instill the dangers of autocracy theory
It took me a solid five minutes to realize that Lindsay Graham was dead because I kept mentally reading Mitch McConnell and then an additional minute to realize they’re both probably dead now hell yeah Saturday night baby
I'll be laughing like stink once they get that third piece sewn on there.
Pookleblinky@pookleblinky.bsky.social · 4w agoYou're laughing? Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham are in hell being sewn together into a human centipede and you're laughing?
Y'all I saw the news on Tiktok and LEAPED onto this app to hear the jokes.

so help me if the final match is England vs Argentina I'm not showing up I can't watch 22 grown men constantly wailing about an owie that the other kid definitely definitely gave them, but DAD he totally did! you didn't see him but he did! but it HURTS Daaaaad! fuck that y'all play in the dark.
New app: do you want to enable notifications? Me: I don't even want to have this phone
Okay yeah he took a dive but also Argentina has done it ... I don't know, eight thousand times? I truly don't get when a dive is a yellow card and when a dive is just standard bitch babying.
People don’t like to hear this but when she was in the senate one of HRCs ways of being seen as serious and tough and bipartisan before running for president was to be a hawk. You know what this led her to? Voting for the Iraq war. This path of adhering to gop standards of strength is bad.
Oliver Willis@owillis.bsky.social · 4w ago“We have to show that we are tough on immigration, serious about deficits and that we aren’t left wing extremists on lgbtq, race, and crime issues” No we fucking don’t. Bill Clinton’s Democratic Party is dead. And we are better off for it. It was maybe the right thing for 1992 but that is the past
Haaland weirdly costing them the game with that foul was not on my bingo card. Sad for Norway. Onward.
