This feels bigger than one race. This feels like a realignment. Republicans can’t win without Texas. Dems are now capable of turning Mississippi blue. Anti-trans panic fails. They can never depend on that panic button again.

There is no moving forward without accountability. We cannot build tomorrow until we have a full reckoning with yesterday

ROSES ARE RED TEXAS IS BLUE GOD IS NONBINARY GREG ABBOTT FUCK YOUUUUUUU

Showing a billionaire that their money means nothing when it's literally all they have due to their family and friends leaving them years ago for being a colossal fuckhead has got to be so demoralising. Love to see it.

Wishing our president a very sincere get fucked, loser

Minneapolis sends its regards.

I say this as someone who was deeply obsessed with glee for 4ish seasons. No.

I am shopping for an EV right now, and even going used I refuse to even LOOK at a fucking Tesla. The market is flooded with them. I could get one hella cheap. Fucking refuse.

I don't care if it produced an endless supply of hot delicious churros straight out of the glovebox, I will never buy a fucking Tesla

After the boring stuff like paying off debt, etc, I would buy a bit of land and build several modest homes on it, a food forest, and invite my found family to all move in, no payment needed. We would all still have to work, but we could have community.

question for the audience: if you were ultra rich (let’s say $25M), what completely frivolous thing are you buying?

I am very tired. Teen broke their collarbone tonight and we spent 4 hours in the ED. He was very brave.

I often think about how much better the entire world would be if parents taught their sons to view girls as people. Not princesses, not goddesses, not statues to admire. Not conquests or prizes. Just, people. A full person. That simple change would fundamentally change the entire world.

We’re owed rights more than your shitty candidate is owed a career.

Netflix has announced a new reality series titled ‘THE NEW STANFORD PRISON EXPERIMENT’. The series follows 30 participants who enter a real prison and are randomly assigned as guards or prisoners. They must see if they conform to the roles or if morality wins.

I spent all day at our bargaining kick off and I am SO FUCKING TIRED but it feels really good to be doing things again.

The best part of working from home is when work annoyed me, I just go outside and eat lunch near my chickens and I do feel better now.

Yesterday I asked my best friend, who has a phd in nuclear engineering, to teach me how compound percentages work. They made me a spreadsheet. I asked a bunch of questions. I am now able to do it. Why would I want to remove that to ask a robot to give me a (probably wrong) answer?

All else aside there is nothing I want or need genAI to do for me. I like reading. I like doing research. I like playing around in spreadsheets. I like interviewing people. I like writing. I like doing these things for myself because I take pleasure in the doing and they make me a better thinker.

what if I start something? It's Sapphic Saturday. Share something sapphic!

Once the world is a little safer I am going to share some stories about navigating healthcare as a mom to a kid who needs the kind everyone is mad about.

im really and truly not the kind of person to shame people for the media they consume but if you watch the new harry potter you can get fucked

As someone who has been tweeted about personally by Rowling. And who spends my whole life trying to fight the damage caused by the litigation she funds. I think, personally, I would be less harmed by you giving me an actual kick in the ribs than watching the new Harry Potter & trying to justify it.

I also wrote about ADHD and perimenopause after I began meeting woman after woman who stopped recognizing herself because of this unholy midlife combo www.salon.com/2025/09/22/gen-x-women-dont-have-the-bandwidth-to-figure-out-why-they-feel-so-terrible/

Gen X women are going through it

Many Gen X women are navigating the "chicken or egg" of ADHD symptoms and perimenopause, without adequate guidance.

It's never too late to stop using AI. It doesn't matter what you're using it for, however much you're relying on it, you can stop. There's nothing it does that can't be replaced by other, better methods. You can always learn new skills, it's never too late.

this is excellent

You can take y’all from my cold dead just-wanted-to-be-gender-inclusive hands

it's hard to explain to the younger generation how meaningful The Rocky Horror Picture Show was, in spite of its uhhhhh very muddled gender politics. the idea that sex/gender/gender performance could be, like, fun? not a punishment? was brand fucking new to me when I watched it at seventeen.

Somebody said that the reaper’s acting like a male instacart shopper. We keep asking for tangerines and dumbass grabbed melons and curry.

this one comes up startlingly often when you ask people to list their favorite problematically hot Tim Curry character mine, obviously, is how through no fault of his own (he simply couldn’t Turn It Off™️) he is directing absolutely electric sexual chemistry at the kid in “Muppet Treasure Island”

Scary Gorgon will have new books at Thought Bubble@scarygorgon.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Bye Tim Curry. You made pollution weirdly sexy and confused a lot of millennial kids with that. Sleep well.

tim curry keeping up the bit twenty years after the fact by writing in his memoir that he and miss piggy had an affair during the filming of muppet treasure island is just so good and funny
