Reading the #discworld series for the first time and currently convinced Terry Pratchett was actually magical.

Me, in the middle of a stress dream about escaping from a hurricane: “Goddammit, am I in a fucking Starbucks?? We are still boycotting this place ffs.”

The nyt is doing to Mamdani what it’s done to trans ppl: Waging a dishonest activist campaign in support of a right-wing goal, all the while disguising it as journalism.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me:

“Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

It is so depressing that it is a bigger scandal in US politics to say "Globalize the Intifada" than to starve tens of thousands of people to death on purpose.

My brain is so tired from all the overtime lately that the filter preventing me from saying aloud the absolute worst puns ever and breaking into song every few minutes is completely gone.

And also this

Opinion | I’m a Genocide Scholar. I Know It When I See It.

This article is the one that probably comes closest to my own thoughts at this point in time, not only in the current action in Gaza but the long-term implications for Israel. It's written by a Israeli-American and a professor of genocide studies.

Gift article.

This is really REALLY worth reading and confirms something I’ve been thinking: if all the media & government putting pressure on individual people to curb their carbon footprint instead publicly pressured the big companies (and put sensible legislation in place) we’d be much better off.

Oh no this is too good 🤩😭

Amazing how trans people are simultaneously too small a cohort to be worth defending and so large a group that if we refuse to vote for people who won't support our rights, it's our fault if Republicans win.

Why can I not type plaintff I mean PLaintiff I mean paintliff I mean jgdsigsdigff

Mask bans accelerate authoritarianism.

Everyone has a right to protect their health, and masks are one of the most effective tools against disease spread and air pollution.

Banning people from using tools that protect their health is a violation of human rights.

OH THANK MITHRAS

It's a Murderbot Eve Miracle!!!!!!

Part of me wants to type in caps WHY DO THEY WRITE EVERYTHING DOWN but then I remember its because theyre above the law.

WOOOOOOOOOT

Going back to being #ratverified, IYKYK

yeah this one is very bad rn. it's not funny or cute or "wow, these guys are wild" that there's a concentration camp in Florida. it's a horror. It's "the concentration camp at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport," but all major news outlets are going with "Alligator Alcatraz" in quotes.

My will to live is currently entirely powered by K-pop so thank you to that new special interest 😅

I mean to be fair we did already know this but

Walking around the neighborhood telling all the plants what a good job they’re doing

Way too many people are going to respond to this with the Mr. Burns meme and just say "enjoy Trump's camps!" instead of "huh maybe elected Democrats should suck less."

i've been trying to see what the right wing platforms (even outside of X) are showing people regarding the protests in LA and i am not sure it can be overstated just how much the AI slop is being used to reinforce the idea that downtown is a post-apocalyptic war zone

Latest entry in a little series I call “music I didn’t discover until six months to a year after it was a global phenomenon because I am *old*.” That APT. song is a perfect banger though!

Started reading a file called “Sweet Memo for Contempt” like “oh cool, what’s so sweet about it?” Turns out it was about a guy named Sweet

I remember trying to explain environmental racism to someone and their response was

"So you're telling me the air/water is racist?"

No. Im telling you that racism has allowed companies to make your air fucked up if you live in a certain area

Remember when the cheap splurge on regular coffee was $2 and the expensive splurge on fancy coffee was $5 😭😭😭
