A hundred years from now, none of us will be alive. I don't know why all this evil exists. Life is so short. Love one another, accept each other's differences, spread love. Believe me, life is very short.

don’t forget to destroy your clocks tonight, walk away from your mortgage, just start driving, you’re free

This country finds new and creative ways to break my heart

God bless us, every one

But especially the fish

As a mother of three who would never have had it any other way, I feel very well positioned to tell you that YOU ARE RIGHT. Don’t let anyone ever tell you otherwise. Ambivalence is not a good path to parenthood. Parenthood is not obligatory.

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

We hate kids. Like SO MUCH. We vote for the guns. We vote for the bombs. We protect the rapists. We have LEOs physically restraining parents from trying to save their children in Uvalde. We just blew up a school in Iran. We love Jeffrey Epstein and his friends. They run the country.

I explored how, in his 2005 book on the last generation of the Soviet Union, anthropologist Alexei Yurchak had argued that everyone knew the Soviet system was failing, but no one could imagine an alternative to it so ordinary people entered into a ‘play' with those in power, to maintain a pretence of a normal society. Everyone knew it wasn't real, but it was accepted as such. The society, Yurchak argued, was in a state of “hypernormalisation". This hypernormalisation is perhaps a defining feature of how political and elite power operates in the 21st Century. Even if we question what we are being told, we do not expect much to be done about it. So we either accept that or — increasingly — switch off from it altogether. We detach and protect. We allow the contempt that power wields to make us powerless — not only through the structures we must live in, but in our sense of ourselves.

Oh my GOODNESS. How absolutely wonderful. I’m trying to think of another word so I’m not just repeating someone else’s words, but it just is: it’s wonderful!!

post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed

WOW IT HAPPENED: our kid just completed their high school education

What a thing!

Supporting the SFUSD teachers’ strike the other day, I saw a “Lisa needs braces!” sign and positively SCREAMED with glee.

I promise trans people would love to not talk about Newsom, regardless of electability. HE is talking about US. Interviewers ask, "how about those trans", Newsom says, "much love but they got to be segregated" and the interviewer goes, "sounds right!" We can't let that become an acceptable standard.

There are so many reasons to hate this man BUT FOR ME PERSONALLY THIS ONE IS UP NEAR THE TIPPY TOP

Holy COW

Please God don’t make me vote for that man ever again

Please please please please

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”

Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

I absolutely understand the museum folks who want it restored but it looks SO cool and provocative and improved tbh in the damaged form that it immediately gives me like seventeen different ideas for making it a special exhibit centerpiece

I am not going to repost the vile and racist image that Trump posted last night of President & First Lady Obama because it is beyond disgusting. Trump is a vile racist as is every Republican that continues to support him. I don’t want to hear mumbling from Mike Johnson or stoic silence from Thune.

Thanks for this heads up, Ian!

ACAB includes the cop in your head

“Did they grow up under a rock??”

Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control.

This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.
