ME: You're gonna have to zigzag to get there. Firs--

LADY IN CAR: What's a zigzag?

College girl on a bike just sped past me saying "Your dog is *such* a mood"

This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.

Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

If it's "inspired by the INTENSITY of Taki's Fuego does that mean it's Taki's-flavored flavored?

What are tootsie rolls even made of

Okay to be fair he did get the last one right

Under fascism, no one is safe.

Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc.

Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations.

Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Stylistic text on a geometric background reads "check in with your comrades. we are in times of extreme alienation. we are in times of extraordinary grief."

Hey y'all, we all think we're brave enough to resist fascism in a moment of actual conflict, but if we want to change that from "resist fascism" to "beat fascism" we need to start organizing and coordinating plans TODAY.

Talk to your neighbors.
Literally go knock on their door right now.

The Hooded One, a character from the game Path of Exile 2, says "And yet, here we are again, chasing the Beast fighting for the fate of the world. I am beginning to suspect that the cycle of history may never end, unless we surpass ourselves and find another way."

The eggs I bought last Tuesday are worth more today than they were a week ago. Can't wait to day trade groceries

I love paying rent. I love it! It's the best!

Feel hopeless right now? Go do a direct action. Any time you feel hopeless, that's the solution--action.

Eating your boogers: weird, but normal

Eating your boogers with chopsticks: what the hell is wrong with you

The image shows the Pokemon Oddish on a purple background. Oddish is saying the quote, "The belief that what currently exists must currently exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking."

Just learned that because the gender marker on my ID is "X" I won't be able to get an American passport.

Guess y'all are stuck with me

Do you think someone living under feudalism in the 1400s could imagine life under capitalism in 2025? We also struggle today to imagine what life will be like without capitalism. But capitalism must fall to its internal contradictions, just like feudalism fell before it. Change will and must come.

I know the focus is on Musk right now because of his Nazi salute, but lots of social media tech moguls paid a lot of money to sit next to him and we need to remember that.

There's a band out there that was previously called Andrew Jackson Jihad (who changed their name to AJJ), were they or their lead singer Sean Bonnette mentioned? That could be it

Bad

posting "Gentle reminder that it's okay to unplug today and take care of yourself. Pass it on." immediately before commencing a 19-hour, 277-post meltdown

I don't even know what to focus on. Project 2025? Sending the military after political opponents? Global warming? Trans rights? Gaza? Women's health rights? The Supreme Court? Ukraine? Tariffs? The criminal trial against Trump? Trump's progressing mental decline? More things I'm forgetting about?

Today is World Wombat Day so I must again say that my favourite ever blessing is an Indigenous Australian one and it goes "may the wombat of happiness snuffle through your underbrush"

Uh oh

it takes longer to say "doubleyou doubleyou doubleyou" than it does to say "world wide web" and that's really weird

Foster, asking me very politely for the treat that's in my hand (don't worry, I gave it to him)

In the southern accent, the question "How many King Arthur authors are there?" has the same sound three times in a row

A fluffy black dog lays in the shade on grass at midday

Of course my first post here is about my dog, Foster. It couldn't happen any other way
