It's always easier to see from the outside. 😩
Oh god this made me laugh so hard. Watch til the end.
Yeah this is the same template for how to be a cool girl who isn't like other girls.
Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:
NO.
I REVOKE THIS.
Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.
Oh wow. A tiny scrap of good news. I shall clutch it to my heart.
Why don't people we love just ... not be in bad relationships? Like, stop it.
Also please do not look at my own relationship history for guidance, because in entirely unrelated news that is ... not a great example of how to handle these things.
Sending solidarity, I too have a brother in a bad relationship situation (his is married couple housemates that somehow behave jointly as if they are his abusive controlling partner even though he is not romantically involved with them) that I must remember only he can save himself from.
On the plus side I have not the faintest idea what's been going on in the news for the last four days and that part was great for my mental health.
Have I learned anything from this? Obviously not, here I am back on Bluesky. I am a very sensible adult.
Thankfully my siblings are also homebodies and we did things like 6:00 pm dinners and going to the museum, rather than anything that loud or crazy or late at night. But. Even so. I am the embodiment of the butter spread over too much bread.
My little brother was really happy though so. Worth it.
My life recently has been trying to minimize unnecessary overstimulation. Fewer errands, shorter periods of time socializing. This weekend was wall to wall all the things I find most exhausting, plus a flight I got up at 3:30 am for and one I stayed up until 2: 00 am for.
Ya girl is done.
Spent the weekend flying to Chicago for a trip I couldn't really afford because my brother, whom I love dearly, just turned 40.
I am glad I went for his sake. His friends in Chicago are lovely. It was good to be with my siblings. But I am so tired I feel like I'm seeing through time.
Here's my bottom line:
Much of what they are doing is bad.
Much of what they are doing is unpopular.
Pushback is working.
We are winning.
Keep fighting.
Be creative.
Push for what you'd want.
Allow for insiders and outsiders.
Realize that change takes time.
Reduce harm in the meantime.
no no let them cook
IN MY DEFENSE I am old and my screen was zoomed in for larger print size than this, so I didn't see below the fold, but look at this nonsense.
Real talk: the stupid AI overview on the search engine has misled me and I am the dumb-dumb who didn't keep scrolling for proper website answers, that's on me.
Honestly it's a great question because they're similar distances. As long as we're making stuff up, we might as well make up a more outrageous threat to national security.
I really hope my case manager is sending me for these tests to check some items off a necessity list and not because she is mistaken about what my conditions are. I've already checked several times so I have done all I can but it weirds me out that the doctors I'm sent to are also confused.
It went fine but the doctor was just as confused as to why I'd been sent for a test of my physical capabilities as I was. (Because all my issues are mental health related.) We did the things, I cried, he was perfectly nice about it. We had to wait for over an hour to be seen and I am very tired.
Okay I'm going to my consultative exam for SSDI so please wish me luck and the ability to explain my condition in a way that makes a neurotypical stranger understand me.
"no but I'm gonna hit them like, so hard they don't want to fight anymore and they have to say I won and then everyone thinks I'm so cool"
It's looking increasingly like these guys thought that if they could wreak more death and destruction than the other side then they would be respected as strong powerful men and they would "win" and that would make them big important heroes. Very possibly they had no rationale deeper than that.
iran doesn't even need to bother doing it, they could achieve the same effect just by having trump yell about it. say you have camouflaged havana syndrome lasers lining the shore, he'll release a press statement ordering you to take them down
me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers
Sun Tzu (D-NY) - “When your enemy is making a mistake, fix it for him at great cost to yourself.”
Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.
Tag yourself I'm "entire production environment is frightened of the number 7" 😂
Lots of people have pointed out what's wrong with this but my personal one is: a human being decided which clips to include. This is not a fucking rap battle or a literary contest. These are cherry-picked passages some random human decided were equivalent enough to be compared.
"why do we have such low customer satisfaction all of a sudden?" "idk boss it's a mystery"
