Zohran Mamdani had a message for President Trump on Tuesday after his win in the New York mayoral election: "New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

TO THE ATTENTION OF THE MAGPIE OUTSIDE MY WINDOW:

Dear sir,

As a bird, it must be hilarious to make a dog lose his mind every day, at the same time, with nothing more than your beak.

However, some of us live *inside* the house with him.

Sincerely,

The lady who provides you roasted nuts

Hear me out: Doing nothing but working is bad, actually.

Occasionally I remember when I was a person with a life and I think, huh, might be cool to try that again sometime.

You don't see a lot of people named Ichabod anymore.

trying to focus on the beautiful things in life, happy #mabon

That’s exactly what this feels like!

I honestly think that severance is one of the most insidiously political shows going, but not in the way that people think.

It’s fundamentally about the depth to which people will go to avoid pain, and how that hurts other people - and what is our modern moment but hedonism

looking forward to another week where all the stuff I want to accomplish depends on a sense of self discipline and executive time management I have never once possessed in my life

Please put it back 😭

terrifying how real this is and I often feel like Cassandra desperately trying to warn the people around me even tho it’s pointless cause no one is listening

Kendrick Lamar taking psychology at UCLA in order to improve his lyrics is absolutely terrifying

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

May the dumpster fire within you burn brighter than the dumpster fire around you

YOU AREN'T THE VOICES IN YOUR HEAD, YOU ARE WHAT LISTENS

introducing a new alignment - chaotic lawful. i have a strict moral code but nobody can figure out what the hell it is

you are now listening to a three hour old chick giving its opinion of things in general

They predicted social media

No more "smart" appliances. If an object from my kitchen greets me I will hit it with a bat

She cleared out all her old ideas of things, until she could hear her own joy with almost no effort at all

It’s wild to have two cats and have one of them be just so much more dumb.

Solidarity - It’s been heartbreaking and infuriating for myself for the same reasons. I will never understand how the people who raised me to be a leader, not a follower, to stand up when others sit down, to think for myself and have conviction, shun me for doing just that. I cannot reason with them
