We call them Void Hours. Awake, staring into the void, way too much to think about, not much to be done about it besides dissociate. 😭 We hope you can sleep soon!

The House committee will be hearing on a package of 19 internet censorship and surveillance bills like KOSA that will take away our digital freedoms and privacy tomorrow on Thursday, March 5th. Please fill the committee members' phones with your calls of your opposition of these dangerous bills.

Happy Holi to those celebrating in NY-14 and in the diaspora!

We are wishing you all a fantastic and colorful Holi festival this year. May this day bring you an abundance of joy, love, and light!

Yeah sure great lemme just pull an entire disability check out of my ass in under a month.

If we didn’t have rent or ANY other expenses, maybe, but unless someone(s) feel exceptionally generous then it’s not happening.

Seriously considering bankruptcy at this point.

Mind you these workers are specifically Kenyan workers who are made to view and annotate the absolute worst things created by man and machine for extremely low pay and absolutely no support or care from Meta for the trauma they endure every day at work

Sanchez: Women's rights should never be used as a pretext for launching wars that serve other interests. If we truly believe in the freedom of Iranian women, the response cannot be more violence. It must be more diplomacy, more support, and more international law.

Unlike the German Chancellor, the president of the 🇪🇺Council has expressed full solidarity with Spain in light of Trump's threats to embargo the country.

As a survivor, thank you-- no matter how gross I might personally find it, obviously fictional shit will never come anywhere close to what I went through and I want **actual** predators held accountable. That can't happen if people are gumming up the works. Categories matter. Terminology matters.

This is the bullshit we’re working with in case anyone doesn’t believe us. 🙃

HOW. We didn’t use $143 over our limit?! We paid last month and we always pay more than the minimum! Goddamn it.

Here’s when Texas voters can expect to see 2026 primary election results Republicans’ decision to count ballots by hand in two Texas counties could delay unofficial primary election results.

It's Election Day in Texas and some counties could be slower to report results.

Those include Gillespie and Eastland where results are likely to take longer because Republicans are counting their ballots by hand.

Here's what to expect:

If you don't want to deal with an indoor cat, don't get a fucking cat!

Not only do outdoor cats terrorize birds, small mammals, lizards, and other outdoor cats, they terrorize dogs going outside for a walk or to potty, and indoor cats too. Plus there's predators-- including shitty humans! Cars, poisons/antifreeze, traps, rabies, the list of dangers is endless.

🫂 We sympathize so much. Our sweet girl-- who likes other cats when they're inside with her!-- HATES outdoor cats. The neighbor at our old home kept letting theirs out. (Next to a busy road.) They'd HANG OFF OUR WINDOW SCREENS trying to get inside at our girl + attack dogs. Keep your cats inside!

We've met our Feb goal. Thank you all so much for helping. 💜 Anything extra will go towards keeping our internet on, and saving for bloodwork for our oldest girl.

Happy Purim to all who celebrate. I hope everyone enjoys the festivities and eats some delicious hamantaschen!

One day capitalism will be overthrown and we won't have to worry about these things, they say with unbridled hope. 😭 But sincerely, you've all helped so much and we're grateful for the thought, it's the same right on back.

Thank you all. 🫂

We're at $60/95! 💜 If we can get about $35 (kofi takes 5% sadly + paypal takes another chunk to same-day it) we'll be out of the first part of this bullshit journey.

Thank you to everyone who's helped, and shared.

Thank you for any sharing, and help. Donos have stalled and we have one day to try and raise this. bsky.app/profile/thec...

WELL NOW, would you look at that?

A massive, 26-YEAR-LONG study of MORE THAN 2.4 MILLION people in Sweden found found NO EVIDENCE to support a causal link between acetaminophen (the API in Tylenol) use during pregnancy and increased risk of autism, ADHD, OR intellectual disability in children.

Sadly now we have March rent and bills, and we have to also fundraise for THAT. It's humiliating and dehumanizing, but we don't have any other choice. We get one payment a month and literally all of it goes to bills, it doesn't even fully cover.

We need help. Anything is appreciated. Thank you.

Now our nine year old princess (affectionate) is struggling, and we're at a loss. We have no resources, CareCredit refuses to increase our limit, no other card program will take us. We need to get her blood work, but we can't until we get out of this current vet debt hole-- and we're almost there.

And then early Feb, she came down with a UTI that apparently set off a URI, the vet said she probably had it from living on the streets but dormant. The vet nicked the artery near her bladder and that set off an ER trip, and it's just been hell. Even with the "oops!" discount.

We're disabled and struggling with basic expenses monthly, mostly because of debt after our mother died in May last year, and our old man kitty passed away in July after illness. We're trying to pay off debt but our kitten-- a rescue-- got sick soon after with an infection from living outside.

💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ Our youngest had a URI+UTI, but our oldest got sick too. We can't save for blood work OR March bills until we pay the debt from our youngest. We need to raise $95 asap. ko-fi.com/combatwombat... Thank you. #Urgent #Helpsky #MutualAid #MABoost #Fundraising #Crowdfunding #Aid #Donate #VetBills

It’s been terrifying to have almost every year in the past 20 years be a lesson in how many people with power make decisions about who lives and dies with little thought or care or even a clear idea as to why they’re doing anything, and it’s terrifying that it seems to be getting worse
