to add: The west is going to burn, fire has been here longer than the USA has, many Indigenous land management practices work alongside fire. Rather than focusing on who started a fire, we need to work out how to live with fire and how the city became a tinderbox and how to help people right now.

Just wanna caution everyone posting about the Spokane fires that an arrest is not a conviction and if we look at LA they haven’t been able to convict that guy.

chiitan liked this selfie. you can't tell me shit.

fucking shameful, infantile thinking from a grown adult. just pages and pages of "yet you participate in society"

There is a lengthy pro-AI screed in the latest HWA newsletter and it is . . . a mood.

always love it when someone picks up what i'm putting down in my writing about fat bodies

go loud@stillicides.bsky.social · 21h ago

finally read Black Flame by @scumbelievable.bsky.social and I think it has the most loving depiction of a fat person I have ever read? it is also vicious, violent, gross, sexy, uncomfortable, and triumphant. I loved it. if you've not read anything by her yet this is a great place to start, imo.

lmao

will stancil will say shit like "gentrification is good" and "food isn't more expensive" and "mutual aid is a crime probably" and then turn around and say shit like "why is everyone yelling at me"

The toddler starts at the big kid part of Kita today. When she first started at Kita, she had two teeth and couldn't walk. Now she runs and has so many teeth. Feels like too many? All over her skin... everyday, more teeth...

One of the worst things about grief is everyone's tired of caring after a few days. The loss can last for years, your whole lifetime, but people's empathy has a shelf life of less than a week.

this is actually the wife-beatingest reply possible. this is the platonic ideal of how a guy who beat his wife would respond to a question about beating his wife.

Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."

At the shelter where I'm at, people only have access to a microwave. Ice chests are not allowed in our rooms, so there's no way to store perishable items.

lumpenpoledancer@daturabombs333.bsky.social · 4d ago

You often hear people complain about unhoused folks eating fast food, DoorDashing, or hitting cheap restaurants. What a lot of people don’t get: many of us are disabled, have no way to cook, and are just exhausted. Sometimes those really are the only options. Also it’s often the most filling option

Jack posobiec is currently arguing on X that the only person who can defend Spain from a large number of people from Morocco is Franco, one of the most ahistorical positions it is possible to hold.

Finally reading "Manhunt" by @scumbelievable.bsky.social ! It's sooo well-written, and deliciously scary. At times, Too Real-- but that's what makes it such good #horror. 😱🏳️‍⚧️ #booksky

Take a moment to think about how a man who has fully accustomed to the cloying sickly sycophancy of a chatbot glazing his every word, will respond to being told "no" by an actual woman. He's microdosing the sycophancy these billionaire freaks experience, and will react just like any of them do.

Pookleblinky@pookleblinky.bsky.social · 5mo ago

It becomes more and more obvious to actual writers and artists and programmers and scientists that these guys are not part of their community. They're using words weird, they're saying weird and off-putting shit, they're getting angry that they're not being responded to with cloying sycophancy, etc

this is my new belief system btw i’m going chud but from an unexpected angle. ‘driving is soy’

Love has never needed permission from labels 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 My emptiness of gender lets me see that clearly. Anxiety tightens around transgender lives right now. Why must their chosen bonds still pass through someone else’s gate? Why is the soul they claim treated as a request instead of a right?

It's fucking spiny wild lettuce. Why it is fucking TEN FEET TALL, I do not know. Wtf.

The feds arrested me 5 times at ICE in less than 6 months. Feds lie to kidnap and there is nothing I can do about it. Feds forced an unessesary unwanted painful medical procedure with out prisoners consent. (Video: 8-17-25) 8-3-26 still looking for help

So, ok, a thing about telling yr audience "i use AI for my info gathering/research but then I look over it and fix any errors" is that you unfortunately told me youve outsourced your knowledge base on this subject to the machine, and therefore I have no reason to believe you CAN catch those errors

roasted by my 9 year old nephew who confidently told me if i was a pokemon i would be psyduck "because he is always worried and runs around holding his head because he has a headache"

there's clearly no point in scolding most people for their indifference to anti-trans bigotry. the refusal to leave Harry Potter behind, the hemming and hawing about the NYT's puzzles. people won't even put down their toys for us. I cannot express the white-hot frustration boiling in my stomach.

Yo Ken Jennings is a big lesson on the poison of liberalism. You be doing your liberal thing uncritical about the NYT enjoying the crossword talking on a site filled with a whole bunch of folks woke enough to know the NYT's harm. Before you know it you're the ally of violent transphobe Jesse Signal.

Never forget that *three days after the WGA & SAG/AFTRA joint strike ended* Newsom vetoed a bill that would have allowed striking union members to collect unemployment
