THAT SAID: zero clue how she couldve ended up in your algorithm. maybe if youve watched general weight loss content? either way im sorry its happening

its bc shes a genuinely awful person whos spent a decade using her weight (among other things) as an excuse to abuse and manipulate everyone around her. people can and have taken low jabs at her for her weight but as someone in the 250s, i can assure you its not just fatphobia

Illinois’ benefits website warns that the Trump administration is to blame if SNAP benefits go away

One time I tried to buy oranges, like, regular ass oranges, and I couldn't. They didn't qualify for SNAP. You know what did? Take and bake pizza

I do not think that "Trump isn't allowed to do this" will save us from a third term in 2028 if the Supreme Court blesses it

voters will take "he's on the ballot" as "actually this is fine"

(I do think he'll be very unpopular in 2028 but that's not the same thing)

This is the kind of thing people like me make up for satire

imo this is just yumeshipping/selfshipping with extra steps. i don't like that they resorted to AI for several reasons, but good on them that theyre finally pulling their husbandos out of sham faultmans clutches and no longer sacrificing acres of rainforest for it

uuuuuhhhhh critical support for *deep breath* the chatbot boyfriend community this one time I guess??

zero support for the desire to have a chatbot boyfriend, mind, but eh, stopped clock

Be annoying about this, but keep calm. This bill will never die, but that doesn’t mean it ever has to pass. It’s infuriating to keep having to fight something we have demonstrated time and time again that we do not want, but it’s all we can do.

I'll be blunt : i've been overworking myself for the past few months and its getting to the point where I'm at a breaking point.

Help and Donations are greatly appreciated, and I'll explain the situation in more detail below. Even spreading the word helps ;;

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.

I've been thinking about this a lot lately. How corrosive it is that public figures are--more and more shamelessly--ripping the copper wiring out of the walls. Integrity is for suckers. Abusing power is fun. Caring about anything bigger than yourself is lame. An elite class of evil toddlers

Thank you to everyone who has reached out with concern. Late last night, I woke up to my car, car port, and home engulfed in flames. I'm grateful for the quick response from Portland firefighters who prevented the fire from spreading even further.

Feeding America has a page where you can input your zip code and it'll show you all of the food banks near you overlaid on a map. If you need it, it's there. If you don't need it, think about donating money if you have it and your time if you don't.

should not have let the gamergate people run the country

bad idea all around

“America is the wealthiest nation on Earth, but its people are mainly poor, and poor Americans are urged to hate themselves. To quote the American humorist Kin Hubbard, 'It ain’t no disgrace to be poor, but it might as well be.' It is in fact a crime for an American to be poor, even though America is a nation of poor. Every other nation has folk traditions of men who were poor but extremely wise and virtuous, and therefore more estimable than anyone with power and gold. No such tales are told by the American poor. They mock themselves and glorify their betters. The meanest eating or drinking establishment, owned by a man who is himself poor, is very likely to have a sign on its wall asking this cruel question: 'if you’re so smart, why ain’t you rich?' There will also be an American flag no larger than a child’s hand – glued to a lollipop stick and flying from the cash register. Americans, like human beings everywhere, believe many things that are obviously untrue. Their most destructive untruth is that it is very easy for any American to make money. They will not acknowledge how in fact hard money is to come by, and, therefore, those who have no money blame and blame and blame themselves. This inward blame has been a treasure for the rich and powerful, who have had to do less for their poor, publicly and privately, than any other ruling class since, say Napoleonic times. Many novelties have come from America. The most startling of these, a thing without precedent, is a mass of undignified poor. They do not love one another because they do not love themselves.”

reading slaughterhouse 5 for the first time and i was absolutely knocked senseless by this passage, which is so true and relevant that it feels like it was pulled from a history book

“Again and again we were told the only way to beat the Republican Party was to become the Republican Party […] and the choice that we made was to stop listening to those experts and to start listening to you”

Mamdani is so good at this

Hey! HEY! Get the fabric of space-time out of your mouth!

Cult of the Hare

“throw everything at the wall and see what sticks and then push that” has been an enormously successful political strategy for Trump and I don’t understand why many Dems consider it anathema

True meaning of Transness

This is just one example of what collective power looks like

You have this inside of you

There are not more police and soldiers than civilians

You are watching collective power work with your own eyes

Forsake your Blue Guy of the Moment and help your neighbours directly

the collective meltdown of every worst person in the world after zohran becomes mayor is going to be so fucking delicious

the reason you can't say "sexual assault" or "rape" on so many major platforms is because the christofascists demanding this censorship from tech companies want to keep wielding sexual violence in the dark as a tool of power
