They muted me lol. I was not mean, I just said that was a bad look.

This is pretty wild and has been fucking with me a bit. I messaged the mods and just said that is not good and they should change it. It probably won't do anything but that is just wildly shitty.

The Reddit community r/Democrats has a conspicuous absence of any news about Zohran Mamdani today. But that's by design.

The moderators have rules that ban people from talking about democratic socialists.

I need every beginner artist out there who thinks their work isn’t good enough to know that in this AI-poisoned environment seeing your raw, human art gives me fucking life.

Any imperfection born from a living soul infinitely trumps whatever “polished” slop they’re trying to force feed us.

In this timeline it feels like the US is just jumping the shark every episode and I gotta be honest, I'm pretty over it.

I live one state over from that, too. 😬

Last year I finally quit nicotine too lol. Life changing for sure, and it continues to be but I wouldn't trade my worst day sober for my best day drunk.

Thanks Lirio!

Many, many times. Last time I checked a little over 1 in 6 alcoholics/addicts manage to stay sober 18 months. Not great odds. Without a recovery program its less than that.

😐 I mean... That sounds right.

"If you want what we have and are willing to go to any lengths to get it, then you are ready to take certain steps..."

There's an amount of willingness and desperation people have to reach and no one else can do that for them.

If something changes hollar at me! :)

Thanks, Marx!

5 years sober today. Wild shit. If you or someone close to you is in active addiction/alcoholism, feel free to reach out. I'm happy to be of service.

The worlds looks like it mostly sucks ass so ya'll please take care of yourselves today, to the best of your abilities.

Love ya'll!

centrists will tell you to your face that we all need to abandon identity issues, and focus on kitchen table issues instead and yet when a leftist candidate runs a generational campaign based on kitchen table issues, it's the centrists weaponizing identity politics to smear the leftist.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Headline reading “Trump Announces Tariff Increase on Canada Over Reagan Ad Spat.” Subheadline explains that an ad using 1987 Ronald Reagan audio arguing against tariffs will stop airing Monday. A play-button icon and text below indicate listeners can hear the article in 2 minutes, with a “Learn more” link. Black background with white text.

The reason why you don't allow a president to unilaterally decide tariff rates according to his whims is so we don't end up with mad king shit like this.

This is what the Democrats have been raising hell about.

Federal Judge Rules In Favor Of Public Schools In 16 States That Refused To Comply With Trump's Trans Ban The judge will block the Trump administration's attempt to restrict funding for sex education from schools that teach it in an inclusive way.

1. A federal judge has just ruled in favor of 16 states and schools that refuse to comply with Trumps trans ban demand.

The administration is threatening to pull tens of millions in federal sex ed funding.

Now, they will be blocked.

I get that everyone is upset by this, but hear me out: keep going.

I can't really explain fully why this is the thing of all things that got my jaw on the floor but I guess it's such a literal symbol and also such a jaw dropping amount of money while small businesses are struggling to survive the tariffs

Such a visible "go fuck yourself"

#CancelSpotify

They are running ICE ads.

They aren't the only company, but I think we should make an example out of Spotify and do an economic boycott against companies supporting masked, armed agents terrorizing innocent Americans with impunity.

Chicago Mayor Issues Defiant Call For A General Strike It was an audacious proposal, given that the U.S. has never held a true, nationwide general strike.

For me, from like... 1997 until 2001 I played LARPs on most Friday and Saturday nights. D&D was what a handful of us would go play after the LARP was over. But there were 30+ LARPers, and maybe 6 of us also played D&D.

Until 3.0 came out, it was practically dead, at least around here.

My art has once again been stolen... time to go ask for removal or payment.

And it's unnecessary (to use art without permission). Fun fact DeviantArt asks artists what license goes along with EVERY PIECE OF ART they upload: non commercial use no modification with credit is the license 99% of my stuff is labeled as. If it has no license attached, you have no consent.

We are now taking donations of blowup costumes to Portland. These blowup costumes are desperately needed by protesters who are continuing to fight the good fight. Please note that we already have too many T-Rexs, so please, no more T-Rexs.

It's really kinda hard actually to not post About the Politics stuff when so much of it is just so fucking atrociously bad and you're expected to wake up and just like

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

If any other president in all of history said the military should use American cities as a training ground he would be removed from office that same day. The hardest thing to tolerate in all this is how relatively silent elected democrats are. It’s ridiculous.
