I feel like we as a society don't talk enough about the overwhelming trauma of capitalism.

ahh! a small fluffy ghost sits on a hardwood floor staring directly at us. but actually... the longer we take it in, the more cute the ghost becomes. one could even mistake this little guy for a golden retriever puppy wearing a sheet with eye, ear, and mouth holes cut out of it. even though he gave us a fright, we would still pet this ghost puppy.

My goodness. Please don’t send in ghosts. They are very frightening. We only rate dogs. Thank you... 12/10 (IG: theodore.goldenvelt)

Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

There are 37 donors funding the $300 million build of the new White House ballroom.

Unsurprisingly, Amazon is on that list. But you know who isn’t? Independent bookstores.

And this is why it will *always* be bookstores over billionaires. ✊

Bluesky taught me the joy of blocking. I block people everywhere now. I just blocked an ex boyfriend on duolingo. I can't stop.

This may sound extreme but I am getting tired of watching white men dismantle things that are important to me for no clear reason besides that they can

No matter how hard fascists try to suppress the truth, they still can't force reality to conform. Queer, trans, and intersex people will still exist. The climate will still change. Diseases being ignored will still persist. Capitalism will still be unsustainable. And their lies will still be lies.

I really wish people would stop talking about autistic people (like me!) as a β€œrisk” instead of a neutral and naturally occurring subset of humanity who get born mostly because other autistic people exist in our bloodline.

It’s really exhausting. We’re human and ✨can hear you.✨

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

Yeah, idk how it started, but it’s been going on for a few months now. It’s extremely annoying (and frankly disrespectful)

Tuberculosis Spawning in Crowded, Dirty ICE Detention Centers Doctors and medical researchers expect more outbreaks of infectious disease as the Trump administration crams thousands more people into miserable conditions.

Unsurprising but horrifying. Wherever there are people forced into crowded living conditions, there will be tuberculosis. Wherever people are dehumanized, there will be tuberculosis. prospect.org/health/2025-...
