What they aren’t showing on Fox News

You fight for a zygote, but cheer when a child is ripped from a mother‘s arms by ICE.
Tells me everything I need to know about you.

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

This is a pre-planned operation in LA!

beginning to suspect that LA wants ICE to fuck off

ICE crossed a line in LA

Right now, Dems are hiding in their offices, scrolling their phones fearfully, wondering "how are voters going to feel about the National Guard being deployed?"

The right, meanwhile, is vigorously *attempting to shape* how voters feel about it, filling every medium with coordinated propaganda.

A comic page from an upcoming Warrior Cats comic. Relevant speech bubbles read: "Ravenpaw, do you think you'll ever come back to ThunderClan? We miss you..." "Uh... I'm happy at the barn. I have responsibilities, a sunny hayloft to sleep in, a mate..." "A MATE?!" "Come visit me and Barley next time you're at the Highstones!"

HAPPY FUCKING PRIDE MONTH LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

I have to keep my mouth shut about being agnostic. I can't openly declare I'm a progressive. Trying to tell my family I'm asexual is pointless because they can't fathom anything beyond being heterosexual. It's the cloying air of Christo-fascism that permeates every inch of southern life.

I hate the south. I hate it so much. I want to leave here so badly. The institutions in place here are so nationalist, so racist at a molecular level that you live and breathe the air of people stuck in the 1960s. We're decades behind socially and you have to fight for every. ounce of dignity.

It's hard to describe, but objects have different mental "sounds" to them. I was looking at the shampoo last night and the Heads and Shoulders "sounded" different from the Garnier Fructis. I don't know if this is common with autistic people but it sounds like alexithymia..?

Those trad-wife propaganda videos where the woman is cooking but it's shot in an an enticing way is so insidious. As if a woman who doesn't meet the ridiculously high expectations is "failing" as woman. As if they don't have people who clean for them and raise their children while they film this

Literally just doomposting but the Alabama Supreme Court decision to recognize frozen embryos as babies is fucking terrifying when you live in the south. People outside the south don't grasp how institutionally the south is ruled by the white protestant. This is a Christofascist takeover.

An info-board summarising the difference between Twitter/X and Bluesky, and the potential advantages that come with the latter.

With all of us coming here to Bluesky, we are all essentially hitting a big reset button.

Twitter promoted a lot of toxic unhealthy traits in the pursuit for clout thanks to its awful algorithm.

Here, those toxic fucks don't have an algorithm to push their bullshit. This is a huge chance for us.

I cannot stand other anime fans. It's such a dogwater fandom, and regardless of what genre you watch it's full of freaks and weirdos. It's like subjecting my brain to pure mindless sludge, just trying to find information about shows I'm interested in.

That's it, that's the post.

Alright, the novelty of the snow has worn off. I am stuck in purgatory, unable to leave the icy depths of this house. It's been a week. Free me...

It's going to be so busy at work once the snow clears...

Bailey is such a big baby. He doesn't like the storms outside so he's crawled up on the bed downstairs and is snoozing away. He kept following me everywhere this morning because he hates to be alone in stormy weather. His big furry butt is going to (not) be in trouble climbing up here.

I learned from an AI cover of Spongebob and Squidward signing Phantom of the Opera that I can, in fact, hit that last note.

I cursed the celestial bodies that brought this upon me

It's amazing how much better I'm doing now that I have a job. I can see clear improvement in myself and a much better mental state. Yes, I'm still a cog in the capitalist gears but at least I get to babysit dogs which are universally loved.

I can actually see visible positive progression.

I hate when I'm infantilized for being autistic. I'm not a child, I can manage my own adult affairs. It's so exhausting, especially when I'm not in a position to correct someone so I just have to nod and smile when someone is talking down to me.

You are the reason I mask my behaviors.

Life update: Steadily inching further towards my goals. All my cards are in place, I just have to play them. Patience will be my greatest nemesis. I can see the end goal, but it's at least a year away.

I got to play fetch with a Yorkie today and I think that has cleansed my soul

Still getting used to this, so here's a simple "fav characters" (Warriors edition) post to get started.

This is a smaller platform, so I'm comfortable being asked why I like the characters on this list.

8 toms and 22 she-cats...not beating the misandry allegations😔

starting on some of those suggestions! First up, the OG trio! The boys of all time!! #warriorcats #fanart
