Thinking of Virginia Giuffre today. We all should be. It's heartbreaking that she's not here.

This is sad and all too suspicious. Teen Vogue had some of the best political journalism in a sea of journalism lacking moral clarity.

Halloween this year felt special. One night to get our minds off *waves arms around* all this. Pure fun and joy.
This will date me, but I just remembered the Columbia House music clubsโ12 hits for a penny!

This model of convenience over ownership benefits corporations who own our data. Whatโs insidious about a subscription society is the marketing of an illusion of infinite choice, but how much convenience are you willing to trade for dependence?

It's really unfathomable that in a few days time, SNAP benefits will run out and millions to go hungry. This government doesn't take care of its own, so what is left to do but for communities to look out for each other?

No JD. Those weren't kids in that chat. And most kids I know don't say or text vile racist shit.
Know what else? No one is surprised. This just exposes them for what we've already known.
But go ahead and threaten universities over antisemitism. It never was about that.
It's all a distraction from those files
11.09.2025 19:56 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0The fact that an influencerย gets the American flag flown at half-staff while an elected government official does not is a pretty accurate snapshot of America right now.
