in trying to understand what makes ICE and CBP so dangerous right now, it is tempting to imagine some new lack of training or experience or professionalism—and not grapple with the truth that a white nationalist movement has put more power and force behind their existing mission

Ambera Wellman painting, very Bacon, very Bosch

I want to see Oratorio For Living Things but I wonder if it’s just reanimating that kind of hypomania-inducing choral work that megachurches rely on

Used SongShift to move my library. The free version, which took about an hour, but like I said, I had many many playlists.

I had well over ten years of highly-curated playlists on Spotify, and I thought it would be sooo hard to move. IT WAS EASY. And I got to leave a bitchy note to them on the way out.

🎂✨ HBD! glad you’re here 💖

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

i grew up sooo scared of brown recluse spiders haha. and wolf spiders, even tho they are friendly

stop gossiping on main; it’s bad form

Battle of the Sexes | Jasper Craven Pete Hegseth has used his many perches—from Princeton to the Pentagon—to agitate for a kind of trickle-down masculinity.

It's impossible to separate Hegseth's vision of "warrior culture" from his storied history of violence against women in his life, fundamentalist faith in the patriarchy, and his own pathetic insecurities. I have zero faith he won't entangle us in wars to validate his own flailing gender identity

I guess it’s not a big shock that a tech product most famous for being inaccurate would go with one of the most unreliable and problematic age verification schemes, but it sure is annoying
