I should’ve been there for this

Amazing, showstopping, incredible

Like, there's also part of me that just, honestly, can't believe there was another crash involving US figure skaters again.

Today really had all the makings to be a beautiful day full of hope. May all the people who did the right thing have a gentle 4 years.

The inverted flag isn’t disrespect — it’s a distress signal from naval traditions, used to show grave danger to life or property.

With a lawless man set to take power after attempting to overthrow the government, America is in extreme danger.

That’s why I’m posting it today.

In 2020, Trump tried to ban TikTok.

He cited one of his reasons was "retaliation for the China virus".

He tried to force a sale to American Oligarchs. He was overruled by a federal judge.

In 2021, Biden revoked Trump's EO banning TikTok.

🧵

Trump gets in bed with the Chinese owners, and suddenly Tik Tok isn’t “evil CCP compromised” anymore. These people believe in nothing. What Trump decides today is what they believe in today. Which changes tomorrow if Trump makes a deal with someone else to enrich himself.

Trump previously tried to ban Tik Tok himself with an executive order, but it was overturned by the courts.

Reminder that "red" states are often red because of gerrymandering and disenfranchisement, not actual majorities; but also REGARDLESS that mass punishment is shitty and a war crime for a reason.

ok but what about five baby foxes playing in the snow, though, did you even consider that

Nearly 800 prisoners now helping to battle Los Angeles fires Incarcerated firefighters working to battle the widespread Los Angeles brush fires are paid between $5.80 and $10.24 per day, plus $1 for active emergencies.

Donald Trump was found guilty of 34 charges but won't face any punishment — and will be back in the White House this month.

Nearly 800 prisoners are now helping to battle Los Angeles fires, making as little as $5.80 per day.

A tale of two justice systems.

God's favorite orange tabby cat rests on his side in the soft winter sun.

Hey look at this guy!

In this day and age, living in a place that
- you like,
- you can afford,
- you can find a job,
- you have family/friends,
- you feel safe, and
- you *are* safe from natural disasters/bad laws/worse

is luxury and privilege. Almost no one gets to check all the boxes.

So maybe don’t be an asshole.

People outside of LA truly don’t understand how apocalyptic this is. It’s worse than it’s ever been. Entire residential neighborhoods are burning to the ground.

LA fires are too literal a tragedy for these times for me get my head around.

I am so sorry, my friends in the west. I am so sorry.

The LA fires are a tragedy. I’m so sorry to everyone who is being impacted by this.
Natural disasters are horrific and the grief is so intense for the places people have loved and lost.

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:

we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

the climate crisis is here, all around us

It’s heartbreaking to watch California burn. Terrifying to watch and there’s a visceral sadness I struggle to express.

We live in an era when “Move on” are the cruelest words. Move on from North Carolina floods, move on from California fires — don’t do it. Don’t move on, don’t abandon people.

If you're in an evacuation zone in SoCal, please check in with any disabled/aging neighbors you have to see if they need help evacuating.

everyone else in LA please take care of yourselves, I don’t know what else to say at this point, this shit is terrifying

have an evac plan, fellow Californians. not just for this fire, but for fires and earthquakes.

here’s a good place to start: readyforwildfire.org/prepare-for-...

TMI but I just bled through a tampon in 45 minutes and idk what to do 😭 I am panicking. I’m in so much pain.

100% accurate.

My brain immediately went "it's Belle's gown!"

I don’t care how many cases against him get dropped, delayed or buried. He’s guilty as sin and the whole world knows it.

I find it so funny when people are like, “I like Lin-Manuel Miranda, I just wish he weren’t so corny.” Like, what do you think the #1 requirement for a composer of musical theatre is.

I love my mountains
