The audacity of Rubio saying the US govt is not a charity... So we're just supposed to give you tax dollars and get nothing in return? Sounds like the taxpayers are the charitable ones here

Having to "dumb down" my cover letters—by using simpler language, less punctuation and grammar, and intentional typos and mistakes to prove my authenticity as a human—means that my education in written English is literally a hindrance in today's job market. #ai #emdash

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

It was very hard for me to get through school with undiagnosed ADHD in the shadow of my ultra-academic sister, but when that same sister said "Honestly I think it's criminal to expect ADHD kids to have to just deal with regular school like normies," I felt that validation echo through my childhood.

i like bluesky because people click on links and read my work and fewer people tell me to kill myself here. and i learn new stuff about how people have sex every day

I have never seen any example of the left "hating" young men that doesn't distill to "refusal to coddle them/insistence on treating them like adults with agency."

Just remembered the time someone commented on one of my early cosplays, "in this alternate timeline, Jean Grey ate Scott Summers" I hope that guy is fat now 😘

I've watched a pervasive decline in general quality of goods and services in recent years, but now that government regulations are getting vaporized & people enforcing them are getting fired, it's starting to affect things like food safety, air travel, and the timely warning of natural disasters.

“The government of the United States is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion.” — Treaty of Tripoli, signed by the United States in 1797.

Why does cantaloupe get the hate when it's sweeter than honeydew where are the honeydew haters

Inspiring words from our president at West Point's commencement

People are throwing this term around so willy-nilly that it has come to be used as a synonym for lying. Gaslighting is a specific tactic to get someone to question their sanity. Just because someone is trying to convince you of something false does not mean they are gaslighting you.

“If you haven’t been poor, don’t legislate for the poor.” - Rep Lateefah Simon, CA-12

I hate it here

i feel like you could put a percent ticker labeled “wokeness in government” and have it going down to zero and trick these people into think that’s a real measured metric

Inadvertently spent world goth day watching a lemony snicket deep dive...that seems fitting

WARREN: Can POTUS legally tell the IRS to change someone's nonprofit status? BILLY LONG: I'm not able to answer WARREN: You can't read these words and tell me what those words say?! LONG: I can read the statute and I did WARREN: Then tell me what they mean!

Some of the CDC's main channels for communicating urgent health information to the public have gone silent.

McGovern: "This is not a governing philosophy. It is a scam. I wasn't sent here to vote for trash. I can't understand why you'd choose a career of public service to do this -- to rip away the healthcare & food assistance of working & middle class Americans. Is that really what you came here to do?"

Being kind should not be counterculture

Just tried to do the Just Dance choreography for Applause at 38 years old after a very long hiatus and I tell ya hwat, I found out my body has a few more moving parts now 😂

After over 20 years battling depression, I had finally gotten it under control, for over a year. Then I was laid off (immediately after moving to another state) and it was like a "this is Sparta" kick straight back to the bottom of the pit. It took me so fucking long to get out, and here I am again.

Everyone in Love Actually got a happy ending except the middle-aged mother who chokes down all her pain and accepts being mistreated just to keep the peace and I think that says a lot

Maya Hawke as Wiress is the best news I've received this week #sotr

I met my bestie over a decade ago, working together at a local coffee spot. To this day, whenever she travels, she sends me photos of all the cute coffee spots she goes to 💖
