We need to talk more about the triumphs and heroism of student journalists and less about the fuck-ups and obsequiousness of the NYT.

I don't just repost Paul because he keeps complimenting me, I swear. Seriously! ANYONE who handles user generated content and is passionate about digital civil liberties, please consider! Having Dreamwidth as a member has let them make the burden of these laws on small sites really clear.

Americans Say No As Terrified ICE Agents Flee from Angry Citizens "It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming. Every day, anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!" a rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in Kansas.

"Did you not realize what this would be, being f*cking Gestapo? Quit your job. It's gonna be like this every f*cking day you're coming...anytime you try to kidnap people, we are gonna be here!” A rapid responder yelled at fleeing ICE agents in #Kansas. www.thedailypoliticususa.com/p/americans-...

Twitter in its previous form was the only way I got traction when I had issues with our gas provider, among other things.

Protest movements that stop as soon as they start seeing results fail.

Protest movements that keep going until your whole squad is across the finish line win.

she posts videos of them trying to get away from her on tiktok that are sped up yakety sax style and scored by norteno music, theyre hilarious

An orange cat loafing. The setting sun protecting light through a barred window creates the impression of a battery charge bar glowing on the cat's back.

He's charged

Y'all, throwing wannabe dictators into prison and letting them repeatedly humiliate themselves as they flail at their newfound lack of power is so much fun. You gotta try this. Korea is having so much fun. The whole country's Photoshopping recreations like it's 2004 an Worth1000 is back.

If you live in Canada, please consider submitting a comment (link in the article below) about a new proposed healthcare-worker respirator standard. This standard would require workers in healthcare settings use a high-quality respirator, like an N95 mask, but a petition is going around opposing it.

not into parasocial celebrity shit except in the case of sam neill and all his beloved farm creatures

A good example of the kind of tired it is would be where I felt a bit weary but okay, and I went down and brought up one (sealed, duct-taped, double-bagged) bag of asbestos and by the time I climbed back up to the house, my vision had gone ✨sparkly✨.

(I also am thinking I could spend some time making a few feed lists here so I have alternatives to the “everyone is justifiably scared and angry” feed. When you’re this tired in your brain, it’s real fkn hard to stop doomscrolling.)

Anyways: it’s not the kind of tired where you just fall asleep.

It’s the kind that drags at your eyes and your bones.

I have a couple more things I have committed to getting done today but I might let myself off the hook after that and try not to use my brain for a bit.

This is a circumstance where it sure would be awesome if I didn’t have multiple compounding traumas radiating outwards from the central point “hey, go to bed at a sensible time”, because fkn hell does that exacerbate the issue.

So having overdrawn my physical accounts, I am reluctantly accepting that maybe this weekend isn’t a good time to hit TURBO BOOST on the “right! Time to carry up all that heavy shit out of the backyard so it is finally safe for puppy!” project.

Which pisses me off because… so close.

I am physically exhausted. Managed to harness the “get up and go” of having the builder on site yesterday, and I think I have finally finished digging up hazardous crap in my backyard!

…I probably did not have the resources to do this.

I’m fine, it’s just that my skin flora are trying to kill me again, and since I confided in my GP that no, cephalexin never seems to fkn work, she raised the possibility that the skin flora in question could be MRSA.

Which. I am already pissed off at the universe.

My god, I am very fucking over the “gigantic broad spectrum antibiotics make you feel hungover and like your bones are made of jelly and stop you absorbing your meds properly, giving you withdrawal symptoms as well” dance.

I look forward to the results of the swab.

I spent seven years writing a book on this and she just… said it in three succinct paragraphs to politico.

If you're worried about your daughter losing at sports to a trans kid just wait until you hear about "tall kids" or "rich kids"!!! There's a thousand reasons why one kid might win over another and gender identity is like not even on the list

so when you're like "oh parents have legitimate concerns," that's like saying I have legitimate concerns if I don't want to go to the bathroom because the Wolfman is shitting in there. Yeah maybe that might be a legitimate concern IF THE WOLFMAN WAS REAL - but it doesn't matter, because he's NOT

I think the really important thing about the "trans sports debate" is that it's NOT REAL, the things that people are fearmongering about are NOT REAL and are NOT HAPPENING. Cis women are not competing at a disadvantage against trans women, cis men aren't transitioning to win at sports, IT'S NOT REAL

Every time someone says that a part of a story “didn’t progress the plot” and that’s why it didn’t need to be there, I’m reminded of how many of you suck and are boring.

This isn’t just a bad way to critique sex scenes and the concept of plot, it’s a bad way to think about art.

That would have been a much more adorable movie…!

Hi, I’m a movie marine biologist. I’m about to be eaten by a shark.

Again.

This new discourse is pretty wild for someone who remembers the latter half of the '70s personally; watches mostly TV shows from the '60s; and watches LOTS of movies from the '30s to '50s; and has seen beaucoups evidence that grown men fucking 14-year-old girls was indeed taboo before the '90s.

My very shiny green dress is the exact same color as the green beetles flying all over San Diego.

All the boy beetles think I am a very large, very sexy girl beetle.

I have so many boyfriends. They just get very confused when they can't find my vagina.

Eh, I’m sticking with my “produced offspring successfully before dying of a dental abscess” theory 😅

I actually don’t know what percentage of people have wisdom teeth issues. Probably I could find out…
