Sleeping kittens are so cute. They make everything better.

Just vented something intense so I’m posting kittens to soothe my nervous system as much as anyone else’s that needs this.

“Strangers on the internet” with lived experiences similar to mine sure as fuck know a metric shit ton more than my “family” ever will and charlotte and all the other transphobes and especially christians can all go fuck themselves.

Playing a cruel joke on them, until my father started asking me, “let me get this straight, you mean you like to suck dick?” I said “and take it in the ass and I’m really good at it too!” My mom started crying and said “I refuse to believe I raised a faggot.” I flew back to NYC next morning.

When I told them that I was bi in 2014, my sister told me she couldn’t associate with me anymore because “well, we all know what the bible says about being gay and I don’t want to go to hell for eternity.” My parents went into deep denial the whole week I was visiting, accused me of (cont’d.)

The blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb. My “family” doesn’t even know I’m trans, let alone what I even look like. Last time they saw me was 2014 and wow is my life so much better for it. They disowned me when I merely came out as bisexual, just IMAGINE how they’d react now

Them: “you don’t need government supports like food or housing, that’s the church’s job!”

The Church: “Shames a homeless woman, films her and turns her away”

All she asked for was to sleep in their parking lot.

Most of us want our tax dollars to pay for those who need help the most.

Wait what happened I need to know

And for tonight’s breaking news: I’ve been crying a lot this week. Is my estrogen too high? Too low? Or is everything just fucked? The answer might NOT surprise you, it’s “yes.”

Independents are usually libertarians or people who sway between conservative and liberal, or people or are just oblivious and not politically savvy. And unless your state has open primaries, independents can’t vote in the primary of the one political party in this country that matters: dems.

Didn’t the media used to use ‘Clinton’ for Bill, but then tend towards ‘Hillary’ for her? Why? Because Mamdani is brown and Clinton is a woman? It just feels off. It feels intentional, or at best unrecognized implicit bias. I can’t be the first person to have noticed this…

Not to nitpick but it kinda bugs me when people call him “Zohran” instead of “Mamdani.” We don’t usually call politicians by their first name. Something about it just feels… idk, condescending, dismissive? Disrespectful? We use Cuomo for short, not Andrew. Am I wrong?

Respectfully, that is a gallingly privileged and wrong headed thing to say. What about all the regular people who voted against this? When does a regular person have the opportunity to respond to this pain? “Regular people” wont take up arms. Poor, disabled, queer and POC will suffer unfairly.

It’s time to call them on their bullshit. Like Tupac said, “They got money for wars but can't feed the poor.” Enough. No more money for wars. No more money for cops. The NYPD doesn’t need offices in other countries or anti air craft missiles. We need free buses and SNAP and libraries to be open.

If Cuomo can divert MTA funds to bail out his ski-resort owning buddies in Upstate NY who are struggling due to climate change, then there’s always money in the banana stand for free buses (and everything else Mamdani wants to accomplish).

Moments of opportunity like this come along rarely, and with Dean and Elle we'll seize upon it to usher in a new day for New York.

The thing about Mamdani is that he’s a talented politician but not otherworldly or one in a billion, he’s just a competent guy with popular ideas who ran against an entitled piece of shit and to me it’s a lot more optimistic to imagine 1000 campaigns like his than to view him as a unique phenomenon

love that most of the world is like, "here citizen! have education, public infrastructure, healthcare, and publicly funded resources to better your life!" while the usa is like "ok guys. the 4 rich white guys said no food or medicine for ANYONE this year. go sports gamble and buy product." nice!

Exactly. I’m speaking as someone who believes things would head a lot faster in the right direction if trump, schumer, miller et al got kirked, but the stakes are higher than ever. I’m not saying voting will solve our problems, I’m saying we desperately need to apply resistance every possible way

It fucking is the rot in our society seeps from every fucking pore.

I understand where you’re coming from and I wish I could say you were right but if you will tolerate me gently pushing back one last time I know you’re speaking from a place of (righteous, warranted) anger, but sadly, no one will learn, it just makes it even harder to fix and we get more suffering.

Oh, for my regular customers, this oatmeal is usually $5.50, but for YOU? My very special customer? It’s only $6!

Capitalism is entirely based on deception. In what universe is a price INCREASE of $0.40 considered a SALE?? The insult. The indignation. I hate it here.

The restaurant where I order my poke bowl changed their ingredients and upped the price. So I get less fresh food, more ultra processed crap, AND I have to pay more for that 🙄

So fine, I bought everything I need to make them now because fuck that shit

Like $25 for a rice bowl like come on
