The Mournful Ballad Of Punch The Monkey | Defector When I first heard rumblings that the world had assembled a conclave to elect a new celebrity zoo animal, I felt preemptively wary, partly due to world events and partly because we still don’t know…

"Bullying is not a singularly human trait, and recognizing Punch's predicament is a testament to our recognition, primate to primate, of another animal who wants the same thing we do: touch, connection, and a sense of belonging."

Ugggh the racists are going to be so exhausting today 😮‍💨

Update: Arc Raiders lobby music > BF6 lobby music

*which Canada also did, much to our shame.

Respectfully - that's because y'all didn't learn about your history that includes thousands of Japanese Americans sent to internment camps in WW2*

Picture of Dave Van Ronk with following text: Fun history facts: One of the 31 people arrested at Stonewall on June 28th 1969 was American folk singer Dave Von Ronk, who was not at the Inn at the time and was cis & straight as far as I'm aware. He'd been eating dinner at a nearby restaurant when he noticed a riot happening, said "Well I suppose I should go see what the fuss is about," stepped outside, and immediately started throwing bricks at the cops

Big Robert Evans vibes 😄

Highly recommend The Front Burner pod from CBC, it's like The Daily but not fascist garbage!

He was murdered.

I think I'm very okay with Canada's invitation getting rescinded 😬

It's terrorism not misconduct

It would be cool if we all decided that they don't get to be heard or viewed and everyone here blocked them

Busy at work, I guess 😑

Quick question- do you guys have two tiers of citizenship in the continental US now? 🤔

It was both devastating and somehow hopeful.

Had a good little cry in the shower this morning listening to Weird Little Guys, thank you @socialistdogmom.bsky.social 💗

Interesting way to categorize a bruise

I like to say the stock market is just astrology for white dudes 😂

Big abusive husband energy

It has been nice to have a moment seeing some of my demographic actually making good trouble and doing what I hope I would do in the same situation so I hope all the women across the US blowing whistles and yelling warnings don't let this slow them down ☹️

Your president is a criminal and y'all are doing less than nothing about it

My husband has a ps5 and my bystander hot take is that BF6 lobby music > ps5 main menu music

He doesn't know history but he does hold onto grudges harder than Gollum did the ring

Some really great people lost their jobs today 💔

On a totally related note - I hope every Trump voter has the day they deserve.

Monsters, every one of them.

Republicans apparently can get away with any kind of trash fascist behavior

There used to be a TV show called Train 48 that was about a group of commuters on a Go Train, kind of like a soap opera on a commuter train - it aired on Global TV, I think in the early 2000s - the dad from Kim's Convenience was on it!

Probably for the same reason Bob Woodward didn't report that Trump knew Covid would kill millions of ppl and why Michael Wolffe didn't report that Epstein had sketchy pics of Trump with girls in bikinis.

I bought Michael Wolff's Trump book years ago and I seem to remember him downplaying the possibility of the "pee tape" and now I find out he knew full well his ties with Epstein and all that it implies *from Epstein himself* and it kind of pisses me off
