Florence, Queen of Being Absolutely Fucking Done With This Site

I literally only started listening to audiobooks when I realized that the voice acting in them can actually add to the experience of the story. That's what made me favor the Ciaphas Cain audiobooks over their text counterparts.

Without that, I'll just fucking read with my eyeballs instead thanks.

the difference between a wonderful audiobook performance by a gifted voice actor and this "digital voice" horseshit masquerading as legit audiobooks makes me steaming mad. good narration is important and deserves to be paid for!!!!!!

We can't lower the cost of healthcare or give children free breakfast/lunch at school, or house the unhoused.
But we CAN afford:
$172M for 2 private jets for Kristi Noem
$250M Ballroom
$2M Patio
$1B to update a "free jet"
$3.3M weekend golf
$6M for Hegseth to berate the military

Good morning Bluesky !

I will not be the bigger woman with any of these people. I hope he sees Charlie Kirk in hell.

god gave you that brain tumor, how dare you ask us to go against god's will

If you think the Dems' problem is going too far left, you're a conservative at best. If you think the Dems allegedly going too far left is our biggest problem right now, you're a fascist.

We are not equipped to have healthy reactions to everything we experience online every day. Simply not equipped, not possible.

Our brain meats are being short circuited. We're going crazy trying to make sense of it.

Plato's cave is on fire and full of smoke and we're choking.

I've seen the fanart.

I genuinely do not believe bigots and fascists actually engage with any media at all, because every time they open their mouths and start complaining about their "favorites" going "woke", they reveal that they do not know basic trivia about the franchise in question.

TERFs pretending to freak out about the “transgender propaganda” of “unknown gender” in pokemon that was in the series since gen 2 released in 1999

Despair is the weapon of the enemy. I see so much of it on social media, saying nothing matters, all is lost, and hope is foolish.

I disagree.

I refuse to believe the battle for equality and liberation is over and we lost. I REFUSE.

the most popular and widespread form of theft is wage theft from employers. the fact that your employer can call the police if you steal from them but you can't call the police if they steal your wages, should tell you almost everything you need to know about the police and their function in society

A little boy holds a handmade sign with hearts glued to it. It reads, “leave my friends ALONE Donald Trump”. He’s bravely protesting at the No Kings Evanston protest.

No kid should ever have to protest or advocate for their friends’ basic humanity.

But they’re standing up at No Kings anyway.

Ohio’s @RepDaveTaylor now says his office was “targeted”, claiming others were too (nobody backs this up) 🙃

Beyond parody. Couldn’t make it up if we tried. They also claimed it was an optical illusion. 🤔

Boy do they think we are all morons.

She deserves the miserable life she lives, if you can call a life without curry living.

Racism is so fucked up it is driving people to pretend that they like British food.

4 panel comic Panel 1: A group of people just having a lovely time. Everyone is laughing Panel 2: An absolute Federal Agent appears in the middle of the group laughing like an obnoxious robot Panel 3: The group quickly disperses, leaving the gross creepy agent by himself Panel 4: The agent touches his ear and says “arrest their moms”

the US government has arrived on bluesky

saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

It's all kind of surreal and morbidly hilarious in the moment, but I do worry about what might happen if they can succeed in making their bizarre mythologizing of Trump into the accepted record of history.

Like, it's terrifying to imagine a future where Trump is remembered as some divine king.

Holy crap Kara Walker chopped up a Stonewall Jackson statue and revealed a monster

Typically, but they've already floated the idea of just... NOT paying people. It might be illegal, but when has that ever stopped them?

People being like "don't do anything the fascists might use against us" as if they're not regularly making dogshit AI videos for themselves to get angry about.

A screenshot from an anime girl has pulled an American flag out of a locker, and the boy is shielding his face and put that thing away

Bluesky right now.

I guess it's free, and it doesn't look like any of them are getting funded again any time soon.

They literally have no reason to use Twitter if there aren't people to harass on there. It's not like they have anything else going on in their lives.

don't give these accounts the air they desire. i know "block and move on" is kind of a meme at this point, but these guys aren't even funny to dunk on.

one little click and you don't have to see the racist, ai-ridden bullshit they're already posting

the coworker who quit to work for ICE at a detainment facility, is now trying to sell us supplements on FB messenger, so thats very funny and apropos of this insane world right now.
