We're taking on water and about to fuckin' sink
No one seems to notice, no one even blinks
The crew all left the passengers to die under the sea”

Same. It’s a gut punch.

Tweet that says if your concern with trans women is that men might claim to self-ID as trans to gain access to women’s spaces and assault them, then your problem is actually with predatory men and not trans women.

All of this.

I do love bean day, unless it’s for nail trimming. I generally prefer less bleeding in my workouts 😳

I thought orange cats were only good for not sharing gym equipment! I wonder if the Pumpkin King has a richer cv than he’s let on

Love this so much #thrivingoutofspite

“Right now is the time to gather your neighbors, to call your members of congress, to make your voices heard. The answer right now, and really the job right now for all of us is to raise concerns when you have them. To voice those concerns. To never stop questioning.” - @jenpsaki.bsky.social

My awesome cat acknowledges your awesome cat with an appropriate level of disinterest.

I’m no alarmist, but I need to share the truth. And we need to take some concrete steps to protect ourselves. My new newsletter post is up. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Update: His health guy doesn't believe in medical science. His law guy is a sex trafficker. His intelligence gal is a Russian asset.

You're all caught up.

It’s a good plan, but it’s already proven difficult in the Texas hellscape. I think my goal will be to die productively, serving the resistance. 😐

Tulip, meet Tulip

As a relative newcomer to the platform, can someone clarify for me if having a cat named tulip is a requirement to participate here? I’m not opposed. 😻

Omg we did do that 😳

But one could argue that assaulting women is not mandatory. I see the good men that I know continuing to be good men. What the hell is wrong with that guy? Is he a colleague?

Omg Tulip that is precisely the reassurance I needed this morning! Jack says thanks for picking up the slack while he indulges in some much-needed escapism.

You are not annoying!! To be clear, you have the right to be annoying. If you should become annoying you’re still just as entitled to take up space, to draw breath, to live your life authentically without fear of persecution. I’m working toward a more annoying existence and invite you to join me 💙

RT if you’ll get to tell your kids & grandkids that you voted against Donald Trump 3 times.

Image of a page from the book, “On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century” by Timothy Snyder. Excerpt reads, “Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”

“Anticipatory obedience is a political tragedy.”
