Everyone loves spoon theory until you say, "Actually my therapist has helped me to see it is really unhealthy for me to get super angry all the time because it pushes me into burnout." Then it's, "It's a privilege to do self care!" Yes, true, & privilege is a neutral term, not meaning "bad person."

One of the things I hate most about social media, but especially microblogging, is how many people assume if you are not performing frothing at the mouth level rage you don't actually care about an issue. As it happens, I do, AND I have to conserve my energy or I won't be able to care at all.

No hell too hot for the soul that revels in violence. When violence stops being abhorrent to you, then you know that you are truly overcome with it.

The Pentagon says it will livestream the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan

It has been said one million times before but this administration has a uniquely Pornographic relationship to state violence

If we were a serious people there would be criminal charges and impeachment papers, but, alas, we are clowns.

If you are in the path of Hurricane Isaias and will use a portable generator to keep the power on, make sure you have working carbon monoxide alarms. Portable generators can produce enough carbon monoxide to kill in minutes.

National Weather Service@nws.noaa.gov · 24h ago

Isaias is expected to strengthen and be a strong hurricane when it approaches the northern Gulf Coast on Friday. A life-threatening storm surge is expected along a portion of the northern Gulf Coast, and a Storm Surge Warning is now in effect. Residents should follow advice given by local officials.

This is not some one off poll btw - years of data shows the same. But for whatever reason, establishment pundits and politicos are intent on buying into conservative’s propaganda

The narrative that Americans are divided on abortion is a lie to hide just how undemocratic bans are—and convince lawmakers to take weaker stances on abortion. ~70% of Deep South voters oppose abortion bans. I wrote about the implications of this:

if Trump posts a trans slur on Truth Social which is aimed at you, and you say anything other than "can you guys fucking believe the President of the United States is out here posting trans slurs on Truth Social, fuck him into the sun for all eternity," you have failed the most basic of all tests

A lot of people on here seem to think that the goal of life is to find the morally correct people to be violent sadists to.

Literally had this conversation with someone recently & the moment they realized was very um. Yeah.

RFK Jr is funding a grotesquely unethical study on newborn babies in Guinea-Bissau; ethicists, pediatricians, clinical trial experts, & infectious disease experts are calling this horrific trial The New Tuskegee. It is unethical to withhold a life saving intervention from half of newborns FFS.

Stand Up for Science!@standupforscience.net · 12h ago

The CDC just re-opened a previously shelved study that would withhold the hepatitis B vaccine from children in Guinea-Bissau, despite decades of evidence showing it is safe and effective. This is a violation of human rights, using “science” to harm some of the most vulnerable people in the world.

Who wants to have a really weird time?

Love seeing this making the rounds again and will always retweet. We published one of the greatest poems of all time, as seen in the most prestigious literary magazine of all time:

Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands by Felix

I would be very curious to know how many journalists had/have at least one controlling parent growing up--- --As I think it would say something about their relationship to conflict and questioning authority.

I’m not being hyperbolic when I say I’d genuinely rather be dead than raise a child with someone like this.

I will keep repeating this: stop practicing digital self harm by looking at traumatizing images & videos online. We know this causes real PTSD. As someone with PTSD it will NOT help you be a better ally to people in war zones. I assure you. "Baring witness" is misguided guilt management.

This is why I am opposed to rhetoric that says "all Americans deserve to suffer" & yes, extrapolate that to every country on earth. We do not choose our place of birth & increasingly we can't even LEAVE as ADULTS due to racism & xenophobia. Individuals are not their state's government.

That Taylor Swift Updates poster didn’t go to prison to be slandered like this

hey, you ever notice how they never describe things like being a transphobe or anti-vaccine or a manosphere type as a "social contagion", even though those are all things people consciously & intentionally try to "peak", "red-pill", etc. others about?

Yesterday I impulse purchased a JellyCat fuzzy rainfrog pouch to store my fidgets in because the texture was so soft and nice I knew I had to pet it whenever I want. Plus, I love frogs. Instant better mood.

“girl cats are mean” “girl cats are standoffish” “girl cats are —“ my girl cat is constantly trying to put her nose inside my nose so have you considered that it’s a you problem

I feel like if you are getting mad at the Onion that's a sign from the Holy Spirit that it's time to log off and go for a little walk among the fall leaves. Count how many squirrels you see. Imagine a world with computer rooms again.
