Shels Bells

Welp, fired on Halloween.

If anyone wants a dating profile consult, a tarot read, or a certified life coach...

I'm very available, suddenly.

Everybody needs 3 friends:

- one to send you new music

- one to nod and order margaritas and not ask questions while you vent

- and one to text you every time even the most minor celebrity dies

Me, streaming one of my comfort movies, even though I own it on DVD.

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

hi, cis folks!

do you trust the senate to decide whether you can have healthcare or if you legally exist under the law or where you can legally wash your hands or pee? neither do we!

please tap into the thread & tell senators our civil rights & lives matter—even more than the jimmy kimmel show!

Public Mass Transit in all urban centers (funded by local and Federal funds)
Medicare for All
Housing built for all the homeless
EVERY CHILD FED

And don't tell me we can't do it.

We have all the money.

We are just spending it on ICE.

both "do nothing to your body & embrace traditional naturalism" & "view the body as a data collection that must be optimized in service of technology and capital" tend to reactionary views. transsexualizing the body being considered a threat by both tells you something interesting tho

Three high schoolers, who likely didn't make a career out of enabling and encouraging fascism, were shot in Colorado today.

The 400 richest people in the U.S. are now worth a record $6.6 trillion after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year.

As if the NOFO weren't bad enough, take a look at the grant agreement 🤬

Sections B ii and C ix are horrific, and appear to require AC Transit give ICE unfettered access to facilities and personnel and act as kidnapping collaborators, possibly breaking California law

Heads up to any and all writers who are in my Bsky community!

If you’re reading this snd preparing to ask “would you sacrifice a presidential win for trans rights,” I’ll save you some time: yes the fuck I would.

Fascism in blue is still fascism and we should be clear that an anti-trans candidate is a fascist candidate.

This, exactly. There are plenty of things Newsom is good at . . . witness his spin room performances and his recent mocking mojo. HOWEVER . . . well, everything Will Bunch says.

I treat discarded filing cabinets like stray kittens.
Me: ohhh who left this out here!
Myself: you dont need a filing cabinet
Me: but its so pretty and all alone!
Myself: where would you even put it? Remember how hard it was to get rid of the last one?
Me: I could put it in storage! Pretty!

Man who asked ChatGPT about cutting out salt from his diet was hospitalized with hallucinations A case study in a medical journal reported that the 60-year-old man replaced sodium chloride with sodium bromide after consulting the AI bot.

I was explaining a treatment plan to a patient, and their partner told me to talk slowly because they were typing what I was saying into chatgpt to "verify" there wasn't a better alternative. In case you are wondering the stage of mess we are in with LLMs.

i'll say it again, my loud and vigorous support for any democrat who calls for televised hearings and criminal charges for everyone involved in DOGE. this guy should never be able to live in peace again.

I went to judges chambers with counsel and told them my husband said I couldn't.

They asked if I was okay (I wasnt.)
I said, yeah, hes just an asshole.

They recused me. I havent been asked on a jury since.

Until today!

Any court that would allow you to have an opinion is not a court I trust. You're a terrible judge of character. (THE IRONY.)

So I did. They asked if anyone had any reason they couldn't serve. Folks were supposed to say it in front of the court. I raised my hand and asked if I could speak privately.

Zoomed in image of a jury summons, showing only the word Jury and part of the sentence, Failure to respond can..."

My 20 year Jury duty blacklist has ended!

Funny story. When I was a young married person, decades ago, I got a jury summons. I was really excited because I wanted to participate in government and I'm extremely nosy.

My husband said No. He told me, you need to tell the court you cant do it.

submissives would do well to learn that they can ask dominant folks out on dates instead of making dominants do all the work. just because you're on that side of the dynamic doesn't mean you can't be confident and self-assured. value yourself!

also, they like being asked too. this shit works.

“Voting blue is still better.”

The white folks are holding a sitting Black representative HOSTAGE and them fuckers aint doing shit about it. Kiss my ass.

If you make throwing a pie and a grenade the same level of offense you’re fundamentally telling the world that you depend on your opponent’s sense of decency in the absence of your own. If shooting someone and protest are treated the same way, eventually you’re incentivizing shooting.

I regret to inform you that eating some vegetables and going for a swim at the gym did, in fact, make me feel better in a way that microwave taquitos and 12 hours of video games did not.

A shame.

I don’t know if Newsom, Shapiro and Rahm are idiots, but this is an idiotic strategy.

Has anyone owned up to being the guy in that "I have one daughter" text exchange yet?
