“You don’t get to take back being conservative just because you lost Spanish hip hop in the national divorce. You get kid rock and you’re gonna like it!” - @cgkelly.bsky.social 💀💀💀

our country was founded by outlaws

the fact that the NRA is offering even this incredibly mild level of resistance is significant.

People do not like what they are seeing.

From Senator Chris McDaniel: “Lately, some folks have taken to calling ICE “the Gestapo.” It sounds fierce. It feels righteous. But it isn’t true, and it isn’t harmless. The Gestapo was a secret police force. No warrants. No courts. No lawyers. And no appeals. People vanished in the night, not because they broke the law, but because the law no longer meant anything. The knock on the door was the sentence. ICE isn’t that. Not even close. ICE is a public agency enforcing laws passed by elected officials. Its agents file reports. They seek warrants. They lose cases. Judges stop them. Lawyers challenge them. Some detainees go home. That’s not tyranny. That’s bureaucracy, for better and worse. You can hate immigration policy. You can argue enforcement is too harsh, too sloppy, or too broad. You can work to have the law changed if you wish. That’s a republic doing what it’s supposed to do. But when you call ordinary law enforcement “the Gestapo,” you cheapen real evil. You turn history into a slogan and suffering into a metaphor. And once every badge is tyranny, no tyranny is left to recognize. In Mississippi, I was raised to believe words should earn their weight. This one hasn't yet. It throws around the language of dictatorship while living under a system where courts still rule, lawyers still argue, and the government still loses. That difference matters. Because the day enforcement becomes secret, unchecked, and answerable to no one, we won’t need to borrow names from history. We’ll know exactly what we’re dealing with. And we’ll wish we’d kept our words honest.”

“ICE isn’t the Gestapo. The Gestapo was…” (proceeds to describe qualities that apply to what ICE is currently doing)

“Unnecessary Roughness”

My niece recently picked up wood whittling and wood burning. This was my Christmas gift she made 😭

@cgkelly.bsky.social wins gift giving this year

Was it, by chance, radium glass…

Truly the most I’ve ever disappointed my sister is informing her that I’ve just learned Joe Keery is Djo

Cohort survives week 59

Cohort survived week 56.

And so did our bathroom breaks on class days (barely)

This was after he sent me the scene of the rabbit from Zootopia starving because she wasn’t getting promoted and I teared up

I love watching my niece experience girlhood. I hate that she has to clarify she’s ok at the end of her prank calls.

Planning my graduation (in 2 years) and I have landed on a “Do it, lady” Chit cake.

The most beautiful site in the world for a play therapist that will last an entire .02 seconds

Week 49 and the cohort is feeling “fine”

“Bebegurl” doesn’t trust my opinion on the mental welfare of children.

Life’s ruined.

Are we good, guys?

The modern “would you love me if I was a worm” but he was a history major

I know academia will never love anyone back but my heart aches for what it’s become anyway

Why are we (you) so degenerate

Meta is conspiring against me

Cohort survived week 44

Big fans of Mr. Worldwide

Everyone go thank Hozier right now

*He says at a fancy cottage core brunch spot at 2 pm 3 drinks in*

What he really means is “I’m going to prove my silence can be bought by admitting I helped cover up what everyone already knew just to prove a point”
