So I'm working on a thing right now trying to figure out the future of the economy, and let's just say the only thing separating us from the worst economic crash since the Great Depression is Donald Trump admitting he was wrong.

In other words, we're fucked.

They are trying to erase any progress we made in the 20th and 21st centuries, including voting rights.

I'm 18. The economy enters a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican president is responsible.

I'm 29. There is once-in-a-century pandemic that leads to a once-in-century-recession. A Republican is responsible.

I'm 35. Tarriffs trigger a once-in-a-century recession. A Republican is responsible.

Good day to remember that a US President has no inherent power over tariffs whatsoever. It’s not like war powers or pardons. It’s entirely delegated by Congress to deal with emergencies. GOP Congress cld modify that law tonight and bring this to a screeching halt.

I have been binging Xena because it’s on streaming again and it’s my favorite show ever actually

might be time for a rewatch 😌

As much as Gabrielle didn't like to ride Argo in S1, all that walking would leave a girl pretty tired eventually...

A panel from an itty bitty Xena comic strip wip

I decided to keep this little project loose & somewhat messy as I know if I allow my perfectionist tenancies to take charge I will end up spending forever on it or just never finish it at all

Sketch request from tumblr.. It spiraled...Just a bit

This was such a cathartic experience from a teen xenite who used spend hours trying to edit the in-show shot to make them touch lips 🫡

Happy birthday @reallucylawlesshq.bsky.social.

Researchers at Stanford University have developed a dual-antibody treatment that remains effective against ALL SARS-CoV-2 variants by targeting a less-mutable part of the virus. This breakthrough could lead to longer-lasting therapies that OUTPACE viral evolution. #Science

Trump and Musk’s Plan to Destroy Social Security Started Tuesday Night It starts with cutting staff at the Social Security Administration. That will sow confusion. Then it builds from there.

Odds are Trump will try to privatize Social Security within the year.

And he may well get away with it, unless we can wake up enough people to this coming scam and put enough political pressure—particularly on Republicans—to prevent it from happening.

They should invent a daylight that doesn't need saving

How to download your Kindle books while Amazon still allows it After Feb. 26, Amazon is doing away with its Kindle "download and transfer via USB" option.

I'm gonna remind people that I feel pretty strongly that if you bought one of my ebooks legitimately, then you own the book and however you secure that ownership is fine by me

Musk and Trump Are Cutting Popular Programs. That’s Deliberate. This is how you sever the positive relationship between people and government—ensuring there’s nothing left to defend.

Elon Musk isn’t just trying to bypass all checks and balances, ignore popular will, plunder our public goods, and wreck the world. As we protest this vandalism, we need to remember that he aims to build a future in which we have nothing left to defend.

this comment just made all of conservatives’ weird and conflicting attitudes towards sex make sense to me

I know we talk about this constantly but it is truly one of the greatest mindfucks of my lifetime. as an 80s kid a Nazi was the most unambiguously, nonnegotiably evil thing you could even be ADJACENT TO, like morality for kindergarteners, and now we have to relitigate that shit every day???? ffs

At this point the controversy should be about the incredible cowardice of the media in not calling a Nazi a Nazi.

Fear of panic and trying to prevent panic drive way too much in public health. Your job is not to keep people calm, it's to keep people healthy.

Trump Is Planning to Take Control of the Postal Service, Officials Say The president is seeking to disband the mail provider’s governing board and put the USPS under the control of the Commerce Department.

Trump is going to gut the post office. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

The Christian Nationalist Plot to Disenfranchise Women Voters The SAVE Act, which purports to fend off the phantasmal threat of voter fraud, would throw millions of women off the voting rolls.

Ultimately, denying women the right to vote or even voice a differing opinion is nothing new among Christian patriarchs. Their churches treat disempowering women as foundational theology.

I think the energy that can be harnessed right now if someone in a leadership position wants to step up and be a leader is extraordinary.

Elon Musk’s DOGE Website Is Already Getting Hacked The DOGE.gov website is such a coding disaster that pretty much anyone can take over.

Two coders have already infiltrated the DOGE website and left their own messages on it at the time of 404’s reporting on Thursday evening: “THis is a joke of a .gov site,” said one, and “THESE ‘EXPERTS’ LEFT THEIR DATABASE OPEN -roro” said another.

no government can erase us no matter how hard they try. solidarity FOREVER.
