An Open Letter To Democratic Leadership in America:

Dear Democrats:

For Fuck’s sake, DO SOMETHING.

Sincerely,

Your Constituents

Anyone hungry for some fascism?

Still barely any interaction from folks on this platform. A lack of social interaction defeats the purpose of social media. Kind of a weird algorithm. I was so happy for this platform to exist, yet I can’t seem to get engagement. I’m sticking with YouTube.

But does it DJENT?

This is what democracy looks like.

I am an April Fool (stepped right in it)

Recommitting myself to using Bluesky and staying off of Meta completely. The only fool this April 1st will be Zuck and I refuse to be part of the joke.

Saw a Republican claim that the United States was researching “transgender animals.” A kind soul shared an article that it’s transGENIC animals and explained that it is not the same as transgender.

“What’s the point of stopping information from the World Health Organization?” She asked, and I replied: “So they can profit off of the sick.”

Mercury, and the Wings of Progress.

All jokes aside, I’m baffled at how I got a degree in music business and a degree in digital communications and everything I learned is outmoded in 2025. EVERYTHING.

Your final project will be to build your own social media site/app

Your research paper this semester will be on how you think you’ll be able to sustain a career with a communications degree. Spoiler alert: you can’t.

Today’s lesson: oppression, cronyism, and totalitarian government: the tiktok ban

This country sucks. The wrong city is on fire.

I enjoy this platform way more, but I am at a bit of a loss as to why no one, not a single soul, will see my posts, which further proves to me that algorithms just don’t care for me.

I feel that. Trying to decide if I was want to check out completely, maybe for even longer than a year.

I see what you’re saying.

You’re 100% correct, but the joke works better when you bend the reality a little bit.

“I got hit by a deer”
“You hit a deer?”
“No, I got hit BY a deer!”

I made the mistake of liking a sports post early on, and now I get sports in my feed.
Still better than *Shitter.*
