Today is #RandomActsOfKindnessDay This poem filled with incredible imagery reminds us that to experience kindness in its fullest that we must be at our sorrowful emptiest

It is then that kindness will find us

If you are not empty let your kindness, find one who needs it ❤️

no more AI "art." i want art made by people because i want to know how people think, feel, live. how a day on this earth is for someone else. a night. and why the heart, though so heavy, still wants to dance. i want art that looks into this mystery. art that connects me to another person who wonders

Nowhere in this sentence did I know where it was going to go next

Thumbnail for a YouTube video from the 2026 Westminster dog show (the toy group). The image is of a small dog with extremely long white hair. Some of the hair has been pulled back and clipped into barrettes, presumably so the dog can see to walk in the ring. The dog consists of three things: black void eyes, white hair, and a scowl surrounding a black nose.

This little fucker looks like Gandalf’s hair gained sentience and now lives on spite and anger. I’ve been laughing at it for several minutes now

ethics professor here, can confirm

Gonzo for sure

Let's see, which one of my needs will stop being able to be fulfilled today - oh, "see a neurologist"? Great! Didn't even know that one was on the list. Didn't know to worry about that one. Good work, medical system! Keeping me on my toes.

I don't know if non-lawyers understand how insane this statement is. I honestly can't think of anything remotely comparable in non-lawyer speak. I guess the closest would be a surgeon saying "Imagine if I had to wash my HANDS before doing surgery!"

Good morning, Citizens! We survived six months of January! Let's get out there and see what fresh horrors await us in February, I guess!

I made this cake almost a decade ago, but now it’s time (once again!) to repost it. Abolish ICE, DHS, and CBP. Abolish police. Abolish prisons. Abolition is the *only* way forward - there is no amount or type of reform that is going to protect all of us. Please join us.

These are very cool IMO! I watched RB make them and they turned out so nice! Now I have a Birdverse muuuuuuuug

Don't see anyone talking about it yet, but the KS legislature did some bullshit today. Call up your rep and chew them out if you give half a shit about trans folks, please.

Proposal for a bizarre new Spanglish word: "Buen't" meaning... not good

What they don't tell you about certain CPAP alternatives: they might make your tongue so sore that milk burns it. MILK.

The "kid crying with gun" meme image, in which a child wearing a red shirt and yellow pants cries with a gun in two side by side photos

Me about to remove "thus" from my phone's personal dictionary after the 274th time it auto-incorrected my correctly typed "this"

He-Man: "I *am* pronouns."

avenge me you livid hoe

T should be available without a prescription even if it means some cisgender men explode their hearts or whatever

“But what do you expect Democrats to doo-hooo?”

1) Refuse to fund this criminal government anymore.

2) EVERY one of them call to abolish ICE (and bonus, DHS). No more “they need training” shit. Promise prosecutions.

3) EVERY one of them call for Trump’s impeachment, relentlessly, EVERY day.

If you’re interested in resisting liberal whitewashing of the fundamentally misogynist pro-natalist cause, I think my Bookforum piece is a good place to start. www.bookforum.com/print/3102/b...

There are lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to Nazi Germany and there are also lots of reasons to compare what is happening now to the post-1850 Fugitive Slave Act U.S. and it's *weird* how people respond with interest to the former but total confusion to the latter

beset by the persistent mental image of everyone screaming in pee-wee's playhouse because the secret word of the day is "perfidy"
