It's such a special city. I hope to make it back soon. We went up a month before Helene hit and it was devastating recognizing places underwater. I hope you enjoy your visit!

“This is going to make the Right violent” - they gunned down a Dem politician, her husband and her dog, they’re kidnapping people off the streets, they’re arresting their political opponents, guys I don’t know what to tell you but you are already there. The Rubicon was crossed long ago.

Whoever told him to dial it back should have been permanently fired from political consulting or anything to do with politics

The benching of Tim Walz is 100% a pillar reason that Harris lost. When she let him loose, she could be Presidential and let him be a hatchet man for the party and the energy around the ticket was crazy high.

When he went away, the energy went with him.

And let's not even factor in all of the politics behind that.

I want to know how I ensure I'm raising intelligent kids when the education system, complimented by the onslaught of AI and an addiction to technology, is hamstringing them at every turn.

Am I enough to prevent that?

Yeah, I don't think I can handle anymore fatalism. I will spiral.

The worst part is, I feel like there's no way to stop this. I didn't vote for this. I voted against this man and everything he stands for. But wtf do we do now? No one with means has the balls to stand up to him.

People living under fascism didn’t survive by giving up joy—they protected it.

They held onto the things fascism tried to erase: art, friendship, jokes, rituals, language, memory.

Not as escapism but as resistance. As proof they were still human.

Joy isn’t frivolous under fascism. It’s strategic.

Happy fucking Independence Day weekend.

In contrast, the youngest is very chill.

Everyone talks about how it's their second child who is so spicy, but I really think it's my first. He's a joy, but he is all fire.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

ABOLISH ICE.

We don't want masked, armed thugs that terrorize America.

We don't need ICE. Enough.

More people protested today than went to the president’s fascist parade. It’s incredibly important to remember that

Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth. #nokings

The idea of wearing a bikini right now is mortifying, but I'm gonna do it anyways

We used the top of the dresser as a changing table with both kids. I found it convenient 🤷🏻‍♀️

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

‼️‼️‼️

Like I’m truly starting to think people did wreck the nation and turn it into an authoritarian one out of sheer boredom

I just wanted to read Haladriel fanfiction but instead I'm doomscrolling LA and the Freedom Flotilla

You know, I think it may be an ideal time to have two kids under 3 because I'm so busy running around like a chicken with my head cut off that I don't even realize the world is burning down around me.

It's crazy how you can't even give baby stuff away. I don't even want money, I just don't want it in my house anymore.

I wasted most of my 20s on a crappy relationship turned marriage and, while leaving was extremely hard, I promise it's much better on the other side. It just takes time to see it.

Taken from Sam Landman on FB but not sure if he is the artist. Graphic saying AI is for losers, reject fascism think for yourself. I can make Art that’s ugly and bad all by myself thank you very much

It's definitely a fic that stays with you long afterwards! And now I've for sure bookmarked it so thank you again.

YES! Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was looking in all the wrong tags for it.

I swear I bookmarked this.. But I can't find it for the life of me.

Gal was married to Celeborn but he died in the war. She's haunted by his ghost. Halbrand is some sort of club owning mafia boss.
