Not exactly a headline, but "Ask a Woman Who May Be Poor, But She Has Her Pride and No One Can Take That Away from Her" is imprinted on my DNA

my first playthrough of it was one of my favorite video game experiences ever. The unhinged level of detail really does give it a "real world" feel. The camp especially feels alive. But I've never finished a 2nd playthrough because the story is a pretty miserable descent with no real upswing.

semi-regular reminder that there is *literally* not a single form of gender affirming care administered to trans people that was not developed for cis people and that, by an overwhelming margin, the majority of patients receiving gender affirming care are cis.

πŸš¨β€ΌοΈAs of yesterday KOSA is at 64 cosponsors with @vanhollen.senate.gov + @kim.senate.gov - who claim to support LGTBQ+ rights but are clearly okay with supporting legislation that’ll censor us off the internet- newly signed on.

Every time I hear him speak or read something he's written I am stunned anew by *how* stupid he is. It's really incredible. He is one of the least dynamic, least interesting thinkers imaginable.

People love it when a rich person gives away a small portion of their fortune to a worthy cause. What if I told you there was a mechanism for *taking* small portions of *all* rich people's fortunes for worthy causes, whether they want to give it away or not??

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

People with less money have less money to spend and therefore spend less. Economists are baffled and crisis looms! Do youths have no shame?!

A photo of THE END TIMES, a faux local newspaper written in the wake of an apocalyptic plague. A little white strip of paper has been placed on the upper right corner of the paper to obscure my mailing address.

99% of the world is dead. In a small Minnesota town, 1 woman writes the monthly local paper but it’s actually an epic horror story mailed to your door.

THE END TIMES.

Gilded Age political cartoon titled "the protectors of our industries"

A mass of workers strain under the weight of supporting a boat containing rich top-hatted monocle wearing capitalists sitting atop huge sacks of cash
