Tell me you've never seen an opossum without saying you've never seen an opossum.

Having a panic attack in lower Manhattan today when I realize that I forgot my keys at home. Lovely start to the day. Should have called out sick.

Dear Internet,

The rebranding of Cracker Barrel isn't "woke" or whatever.

Progressives hate it as much as you do.

This morning driving to the train & a sports car blasts through a stop sign as we're going through the intersection. He got mad that we were there.

Then a car turned into the road too shallow & nearly hit us head on. This was seen by a pedestrian who tried to dart in front of our car right after.

On the ferry home a guy liked my Jaws shirt, but then he started harassing some random woman saying that Jaws was going to pop up out of the water to eat her.

This week has been weird and it's only 7:00 am on Tuesday. Yesterday there were the tourists on the ferry that decided they need to push into me to take a picture despite there being 3 or 4 feet of free space in the other direction.

Work was a mess.

My only request was if the line is 4 hours long, we don't wait in it, we come back later in the day. Get to the line, are waiting about 5 minutes and someone announces the line will be 4 hours long. That was half an hour ago and we are still in it -_-

Especially when actually triggers have been innocuous things that I, let alone anyone else, would not have thought would be a trigger until they were.

On the flip side I will have people with the best of intentions warning me about something and it ultimately doesn't affect me.

Trigger warning is an interesting phrase.

I can understand a content warning; here be things that a reasonable person may find objectionable. But a trigger warning?

As someone who has PTSD, I don't even know all of my triggers so how can anyone else know what to warn for?

He Came to the U.S. to Support His Sick Child. He Was Detained. Then He Disappeared. Like most of the more than 230 Venezuelan men deported to a Salvadoran prison, José Manuel Ramos Bastidas had followed U.S. immigration rules. Then Trump rewrote them.

2/ On the call, he held up a document he said was proof that immigration authorities had agreed to deport him back home to Venezuela.

“I have a family,” he said, staring into the camera. “I haven’t committed any crimes.”

A month later, he was gone.

Army veteran and US citizen arrested in California immigration raid warns it could happen to anyone A U.S. Army veteran arrested during an immigration raid at a California marijuana farm says he was sprayed with tear gas and pepper spray before being dragged from his vehicle on his way to work.

ICE detained a veteran and U.S. citizen for three days.

They didn’t let him contact his family or a lawyer. They didn’t let him change or shower. They didn’t give him a reason for his detention.

I know that media literacy is dead, but how can you have failed to pick up on what My Chemical Romance has been putting down on every album?

People upset at My Chemical Romance for being theatrical & political is giving flashbacks to people getting upset when they realized that their "favorite band" Rage Against The Machine were a bunch of political leftists. Curious to see the new version of "I just like Morello's guitar playing."

Republicans in Congress have structured the most painful benefit cuts in their budget bill to kick in AFTER the 2026 midterms. 

But the tax cuts for the ultra-wealthy? Those begin immediately.

Remember this.

Congressional Republicans just betrayed their constituents to give a tax break to their ultra-wealthy donors.

Voters will remember next year.

People shit talking Robert Moses on the morning ferry just made my day

In other words, I need to stay away from Tumblr to preserve sanity.

Lesbian criticises a bisexual man's boyfriend & calls him ugly.

Gay man says boyfriend is attractive to people who are attracted to men & wouldn't be attractive to someone who isn't attracted to men, like the lesbian critic.

Other lesbian says how dare people blame lesbians for everything.

Was on the ferry today and I heard a couple tourists talking and wondering if the hills on Governors Island were burial mounds.

Kind of, but not really. They're only about a decade old and the only thing buried on those hills are buildings that once stood on the island.

WE HAVE QUESTIONS…

This is a kidnapping. No uniform, no badge, civilian car. Who are they?

ICE? Sanctioned bounty hunters? Either way, they’re grabbing people without warrants.

How often is this happening, and why aren’t more people talking about it? Congress?

Undocumented immigrants paid an effective federal income tax rate of 5.27% in 2022.

That means they paid a higher effective tax rate than 5 of the richest Americans…and a higher effective tax rate than 55 mega corporations.

So let me ask you: who are the real freeloaders?

There are some really big Jason Voorhees fans in my neighborhood because they started setting off a ton of fireworks for Friday the 13th.

A recent study found that for every $1 invested in the National Weather Service, it produces $73 in value to Americans.

Not only is the NWS a life-saving government resource, it's actually quite efficient.

NAACP calls for emergency shutdown of Musk's supercomputer in Memphis The civil rights group alleges that the project’s pollution could be harmful to nearby residents.

This is the future they want us all to accept soon, but they’re going to soft launch it by hurting Black communities first, and you know why.

For four long years I was told not to call what’s coming our way fascism but here we are:

Have the Playstation shop open and looking at Persona 3 Reload. There is a large part of me that wants to play this.

There is a more logical part of me asking if I really want to pay $35 for a probable PTSD trigger.

Seriously lol The good thing was he'd check first if it was cool with me to tell people my age and I also thought it was funny how shocked these people I've been working with for like 2 to 3 years were to find out how old I am.

My Director's a year older than me, we have the same knowledge set & get each other's pop culture references, yet he thought I was like 23/ 24 for the first two years I worked there. After I told him my age, his favorite thing was asking other people to guess how old I am so he could see the shock 😹
