The Unbearable Humptiness of Being

Have to admit, I might go looking for clips of BS losing his shit about most of the results

Here we are, airing live from Andrew Cuomo's election night party....

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Suffering is the Point

Immigration Raids at This Home Depot Got More Aggressive but Less Effective. The LA Tenants Union Knows Why. The union’s daily presence tries to give the city’s most vulnerable immigrant workers a measure of safety and gum up Trump’s deportation machine.

“If I’m gonna die, I’m gonna die protecting my people,” said Jorge, a former day laborer. “I’ve got blood family, but these are my people, too. These are my neighbors.” h/t @hammerandhope.bsky.social

That's it, that's the show.

I have found yet another way to be just horrified. Wowee.

So are we still going to handwave the dogwhistles, or...?

Men. Can. Get. Breast cancer.

Oh hells yes.

This whole thread, plus "it's just a dog and some knotwork" as a coverup expose how fucking gullible Platner thinks we all are.

You don't cover a totenkopf with a tattoo that hits dog whistle frequencies if you're trying to be sincere about your return from the Reich side. You just don't.

Knock 'em dead babe

I've often joked that the Trump presidencies feel like a rejected parody script from 1985, but no individual element bothers me as much as this.

The CDC head during COVID being named "Redfield," and now this shitbird having the same name as the evil corporation from "The Boys," is too on the nose.

I just don’t feel like compromising on “Nazis are bad” as a political principle in the year of our dictator 2025. Idk what to tell you.

This is hands down the coldest, most brutal thing I've ever seen, and I'm absolutely living for it. Thank you, Mr Mamdani, for making the world see what a cowardly asshole Cuomo is in the most serious context.

I hate these so much, and I'm so frustrated by all the people I like and respect who keep sharing the fucking things.

What? My lands!!

I find the underuse of the COMMUNITY "Its Going to be a Maze" meme today to be absolutely baffling.

Like this! It is not that hard!

In light of today's "just a tattoo" discourse, I'm bringing back this thread. It's all about seemingly innocent choices that were dog whistles that reflected much less innocent ones, and how handwaving them is bad, actually!

Please, folks. Think about this. She did the goddamned work and she deserves it. In any year.

Baffled by the idea that it's not fascism until it's won. Seems a deeply unhelpful way to approach talking about the totalitarian consolidation of power. "It's not fascism until it's too late to stop it" is markedly less useful than, say, Eco's approach of defining fascism as an aesthetic.

The United States Government has become the domestic terrorist, just like they said they would

I don’t want to talk about this because I don’t want to be a target

But on just a human decency level the person tirelessly deleting Gazans just permabanned the guy who uses his thousands strong platform to boost the fundraisers of literally anyone who needs money or mutual aid every single Friday

So many things I was afraid of happening from the *moment he announced he was running* has happened, and many of them are things I was promised couldn't POSSIBLY happen.

A Year of Convulsions in New York’s Prisons Jennifer Gonnerman reports on how two murders and a strike exposed a system at its breaking point.

“Your life revolves around hate from every side.” Essential reading on the NY state correction officers' strike and its aftermath that clearly captures how the prison system dehumanizes both workers and incarcerated people.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities. In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all. This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account. These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”

A sticker on a bike rack in Tacoma, WA that says: "THEY WANT YOU TO THINK TRANSGENDER PEOPLE ARE A PROBLEM. INSTEAD, TRY BEING A FUCKING ADULT, AND LIVE AND LET LIVE."

New banner image!

Saw this sticker in Tacoma last weekend, and it's perfect.
