Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

...I was really into Thomas the Tank Engine as a child. Seeing actual fuckin train-sized Thomas the choo choo is a trip

Woman with purple hair (it me) smiling and posing in front of a giant (actual train sized) Thomas the Tank Engine.

Look who I found!

Seeing the lunar eclipse was an unexpected treat

Ekiben breakfast 💜

*sees CDJ3000X announcement*

Really tho, it's been 5 YEARS since the CDJ3000 and this is the best they could come up with?

Bluesky right now ...

Very bad sign when masked, unidentified agents of the security state are not just grabbing people off the street but openly identifying with the regime's politics

my toxic trait is staying up late browsing Facebook Marketplace listings when I should be asleep

Heading off to Seattle to train at Dirtfish for a few days... so hyped!

The absolute most frustrating thing about using women's sports as part of the anti-trans crusade... is that almost none of these people care about women's sports.

Of course the night I can't sleep is when I have an early call to present on... 🫩

I ordered a collapsible electric kettle to an Amazon Locker near my hotel on one trip out there after getting tired of shelling out so much for bad food and mediocre coffee.

Paypal & Stripe likely have a lot of pull with Visa/Mastercard, so putting pressure on the entire chain of processors makes sense for maximum effect.

We just translated a wave of our ICE coverage into Spanish. No paywall, no email signup necessary. From leaks about Palantir's work with ICE to ICE's new facial recognition app, we think there is a massive public interest in this info. Read why and support us here: www.404media.co/were-publish...

boots n cats

Disaster lesbian trash TV is so good

Also sexist as hell. They aren't out here regulating pocket sizes.

Concert bag policies are getting more insane each year. Allegiant Stadium out here turning away women with small clutch bags using a post card for sizing???

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

trans kids, please keep yourselves alive, there is a world out there that will love you

The evil in this government runs deep. Protect & support trans youth (& trans peeps in general), it's rough right now.

The federal government imposing a stop work order on Trevor project for the national 988 suicide hotline on the same day that the Supreme Court greenlit a ban on care despite the risk of suicide sends a clear message:

The United States government officially wants trans youth to kill themselves.

If some trans people trying to suck up to a broken system by throwing other trans people under the bus was going to work, it would have worked by now.

And it hasn't, and it won't, because it's simply not viable.

It's an old, old proposal - from way before I was born. And it never delivers.

The 2022 US trans survey caught the moment before all the eradication policies started. It's devastating seeing how much progress was made in reducing insurance denials knowing that most trans people will lose access this year to their healthcare.

Airlines Don't Want You to Know They Sold Your Flight Data to DHS A contract obtained by 404 Media shows that an airline-owned data broker forbids the feds from revealing it sold them detailed passenger data.

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

must be incredibly frustrating and disheartening to have federal funding that was promised to you for important work suddenly and arbitrarily ripped away

the only regret with transitioning i have is that i didn’t act on it sooner even though it’s what i wanted. in the last decade we finally got a point where it was socially acceptable for people to transition younger, and they’re trying to take that away and it breaks my heart
