Part adjunct, part self-employed, entirely neurodivergent. 1L at STCL. She/her in STEM, i.e., had pronouns before people got offended by them. Can't believe it's controversial to not want SARS. Also plays with string 🧶
"It wouldn't matter how bad everyone else broke anything if you had total availability as a failsafe and fix it all." "It's not that your statement is exactly inaccurate, but if that's the plan, you're gonna need a failsafe when it's me that breaks."

I'm just saying, to whatever extent data centers are going to exist, making a lot of money whilst creating very few jobs and dumping a lot of externalities into their vicinity, we should tax the shit out of them.
I'm just saying, it is *offensive*, when you're fuxhausted from having e.g. a migraine and turn in early to sleep it off, to also have insomnia.
You would repost a frog
We have FINALLY reached a point where the air conditioning at work brings it down to "I should've worn a sweater." I feel like mid-November is a bit deep into fall for that.
If you can't pour from an empty bucket, And you can't expect X to fill you up, And you can't expect Y to fill you up, And you can't expect Z to fill you up, The fuck are you supposed to do?
I know I’ve said this several dozen times, but right wing lunatics frankensteined together unrelated Bible verses to create “the antichrist” and a description of what he would look like, and then the guy fucking showed up and they love him.
Robert Black@hurricanexyz.bsky.social · last yr.I mean I'm a hardened atheist who at this point believes like 80% unironically that Trump is the/an antichrist, so...
TFW you start to type "whilst" whilst working on an assignment that's meant to be anonymous, but then you remember not *nearly* enough people in this group have that dialect element, so it'd be as bad as borrowing Bob from @ianrunkle.bsky.social for a murdery hypo. So NO, ME! BAD, ME!
Made a little something. It is both true that cool heads must prevail and that cool heads *cannot* prevail if all they have to offer is wearing a kick me sign.
Walmart has a Christmas Carol themed ad in which one of the ghosts tells two other muppets to get Walmart+ so SOMEONE HOOK UP A TURBINE TO CHARLES DICKENS. We've got a real chance to make renewable energy work.
My radical gender ideology: in any universe where a 9 year old needs a gynecological exam to play softball, it's not the kid who's being creepy.
OPB@opb.org · last wk.At least half the states in the country have some kind of restriction on trans girls in sports. But Washington would be one of the first to require medical testing to verify birth sex. Other states with bans require only proof of birth sex via a birth certificate.
I can set aside retribution, and even accept that rehabilitation was never on the table, if they'll max out incapacitation and deterrence.
MS NOW@ms.now · last wk."The American people don't want us to get even; they want us to get things done on their behalf." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, who is now poised to become the next House Speaker, says that Democrats will focus on affordability concerns and not retribution after their midterm wins.
The coworker who gives out tracts is very quiet today, and it occurs to me that we are experiencing this week differently.
Also it's the SAME DAMN THING that the super rich are using government power to their own ends and "creating jobs" for which the wages don't keep up with inflation to keep "their" money from circulating. The ancient solutions involve burning down barns. OFFICIAL ACCOUNTABILITY IS THE COMPROMISE.
Lasharus@lasharus.bsky.social · last wk.It's such an impressive inability (or refusal) to read the room. YES people want you to bloody well hold the nutjobs to account, Hakeem! This isn't an either/or equation, you can work on making things better while torching the people that actively made them WORSE.
💯 this. Winning is not enough. Demand the work be done, demand they step up and deliver. No excuses. No half-measures. Make it clear what happens when the line is crossed and make it sting so that they never try it again.
Hillary Monahan@hillarymonahan.bsky.social · last wk.Here's the thing, loves. The work continues. We now push these Diet Republican motherfuckers to the left or in front of a train of political obscurity. MAKE THEM protect Black and Brown people. Queer people. Disabled people. No scapegoating trans people, Latinos, or Muslims for a false "peace."
Seriously, Donkey Fandom...I am not one of you because fuck the duopoly but I currently caucus with you because of that over there...but if you fuck this up I swear to God...

Ham Roids@anarchymarshmallow.bsky.social · last wk.Let's fucking gOOOO With that in mind, we can never give the Dems a moment of peace. They're not in office to rest and bask in victory, they're in office to either destroy fascists or get wrecked. Don't let up on them
I cannot be the only one who thought it would be plausible for a trinity to go by they/them pronouns.
Michael@electronicmichael.bsky.social · last wk.ROSES ARE RED TEXAS IS BLUE GOD IS NONBINARY GREG ABBOTT FUCK YOUUUUUUU
Hey guys, I think yoinking kids into foster care for having parents who let them do their thing about being trans might have made "we're protecting kids from gender ideology" less credible.
I'm of the opinion every state should be a swing state Don't let those fuckers take *anyone* for granted
Anyone wanna try to convince me our 7 PM professor's motivation for cancelling class and assigning a video tonight wasn't avoiding watching the returns maps reflected on the glasses of those who wear them?
TFW your car horn tried to evolve sentience by going off whenever it felt like it, and you got an auto shop to sort *that* but it took long enough that you picked up something low on the PTS spectrum about car horns and need to decondition that shit.
“If you ask me, Lorenzo Salgado Araujo is in heaven. Lorenzo was a 52-year-old Mexican immigrant who had spent more than three decades in the United States, raising a family with love and dedication. He was traveling to work when an ICE agent fatally shot him in Houston in July.”
On this All Saints' Day, we pray with people killed by ICE
"Those who hunger and thirst for justice, practice mercy and pursue peace are the ones who most closely embody the holiness to which we are all called," writes Yunuen Trujillo

One of these years, I'm going to buy a clearance skeleton, so that whenever we next do major surgery on the deck we can throw it under for whoever next does deck surgery after us. We will probably know nothing about it when it happens, but it's enough to know that it will happen.

when artists said this in 2022 they were laughing at us, so 🤷♀️ (but realtalk, I'm glad more people are waking up to it now)
