Doing the Hereditary "I am your mother" monologue to my cat whenever she bites me

"In the lead-up to the address, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., urged Democrats to "attend with silent defiance," or choose not to attend." (NPR)

I am soo sick of this jabroni, get the fuck out and have silent defiance somewhere ELSE

Shocked Bari isn't in here too

Squiggly therapist office art that reads "progress is not linear"

I'm so dev pilled lately that I genuinely thought this art in my therapist's office said "postgres is not linear" 🫠

AND WHAT, BEA 😂😂😂😂 how else am I to survive the horrors but also yeah totally

I'm holding up a Nefeltari Vivi card full-art, where Nami is helping her close a necklace clasp

How cute is this new Vivi alt??

Aaahh!!! Real Housewives

Discourse has both chat and forums, but needs to be self hosted (a pro or a con depending)

Here's the thing I will continue saying every time this came up: Kamala Harris did not mention trans people in her campaign. She went out of her way to avoid it. She dodged every question on trans rights. And then she still lost. So what Newsom wants is *open hostility* to trans rights

JUST finished the game and found this -- I had a bout of long covid brain ...goo... as well. Sending care and warmth! That shit sucks.

“Screenshot of a promoted Reddit post by u/AYAGDOS. The post reads: ‘Navigating gender dysphoria? Join our confidential, cross-country study of 18–25 year olds to tell your story, challenge preconceptions, and have YOUR experience reflected in the science.’ Below is a banner graphic with the Northwestern University logo and the text ‘TRANS OR GENDERQUEER? SHARE YOUR STORY.’ The image shows a close-up of a hand with light pink nail polish, partially painted blue, held up against a blurred background. A link to ayagdos.org and a ‘Learn More’ button appear at the bottom, along with Reddit vote and share icons.”

If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

Also I googled the name of the person the email is sent from, and it doesn't appear to be a real person 🤪 so I cc'd a recruiting manager I found via linkedin

I had to sit on it for 3 days before replying so I could have a cooler head 😅

My reply to their reply: "Thankfully I saw this email before the previous one that mentioned the interview and NDA. As I'm sure you know times are very hard these days for job hunting. Things happen and we're all human, but this is a particularly egregious, unprofessional, and frankly cruel mistake to make. I don't need a response, but I want to express how poorly this reflects on [redacted] as an organization. Also, the NDA request is still listed in my career portal... Hopefully the "system" doesn't make this mistake for any other stressed out job hunters."

I'm a pretty chill person, but when a huge tech org emails me about next steps (an NDA + initial interview) only to immediately reply saying it was a "system error", and that I'm not actually being considered... I'm gonna have some words.

On March 7, 1965, white police in Alabama beat hundreds of civil rights marchers—including fracturing the skull of civil rights icon John Lewis—as they walked across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma on “Bloody Sunday.” The very next day, President Lyndon Johnson announced an unprecedented expansion of funding for U.S. police departments, including for “improved training of policemen.”8

In light of Democrats calling for more "training" for ICE, this passage from my book Copaganda seems relevant:

white boys being whipped in a cotton field by a black boy while martin luther king jr smiles in the sky

happy mlk day

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale

Explicitly queer and trans characters (that aren't villains), a literal revolutionary army, a corrupt government, a ragtag group of friends trying to live their dreams despite the powers that be... Idk man!! It's just so good.

Been thinking a lot lately about how One Piece has such strong revolutionary sentiment. It takes a minute to cook, but when it gets there my god. Gives me some hope, even though it's a goofy anime.

Screaming this in my head all weekend

Where was international law when the EU cheered on Trump’s special military operation in Venezuela?

Or during the invasion of Iraq? Or during the Gaza genocide? Or when you illegally sanctioned countries in the global south? Or when you cracked down on free speech and protest in your own streets?

The greatest propaganda trick the Americans ever pulled was convincing everyone that China was about to invade every country in the world, as the United States tried to invade every country in the world.
