GRITTY SAYS TRANS RIGHTS

in this house we stand for inconvenient queers, trans people who don't give a shit about passing, angry Black women, undocumented immigrants who are tired of being polite to racists; mentally ill people on public transit; and everyone else you're too proper to stand on solidarity with.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!

If you call your GOP Rep to tell them something like your children deserve to learn and don't they dare touch the Department of Education, they don't know who you voted for. They don't know you hate them. Use their staff's time and resources at the very least.

I took the wonderful guide made by @survivethetyrant.bsky.social and added a bit of style to it. You can download it for free here; it's letter-size with minimal color to help those who are able to print & distribute it at local events 💜 www.hostize.com/v/OA4Pw1my6W

To instrumentalize what my sister is saying below: every time someone says DEI say “you mean civil rights?” Every time someone says they are against woke reply “oh so you’re a segregationist!” Words have meaning! Don’t allow that nonsense to stand.

PSA: 1. If you are not silly, it is vital you become silly 2. If you are silly, you must stay silly 2. If you used to be silly but have stopped, you must make all efforts to return to silliness

I'm a massive Golden Girls fan, so I can think of no better leadership for my Adeptus Sororitas. I've been working through this concept for YEARS and I'm excited to finally have it accomplished. Shout out to @bssterrain for the amazing head sculpts. #warhammercommunity #warhammer40k #goldengirls

We often talk about celebrity worship as though, oh, it's harmless, people want to idolize other famous people! But it can have real consequences: 1. Stalking of the celebrities. 2. Harmful people getting away with mistreating others. 3. Thinking the name "Kennedy" has any inherent value.

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

Children are learning to speak Mandarin because apparently the USA can’t hear them in English.

I am a former incarcerated firefighter. I served in a California fire camp from 2009 to 2012. Misinformation is afire on the internet, so here are facts about the prison firefighter program, all in one place. A thread.

In my country if you want to fight fires you can do 540 hours of training & become a highly salaried firefighter. But if you are impatient you can just kill someone & fight fires for free. However if you want to continue fighting fires after paying your debt to society you must kill someone again.

if the hollywood sign burns live on television it'll be like 9/11 for climate change

Just learned of this tradition from @aplante.com 2024 was hellish for our household so we decided to all make our own lemon piggies 🐷 We hope they bring us good luck in the new year.

ITS FLAT FUCK FRIDAY ROLL THE CLIP

Reminder Superman is not a power fantasy, he's an altruism fantasy. The idea of someone with godlike powers using them solely for good (with an antagonist who is a billionaire, who by definition do the opposite) was dreamt up by Jewish kids in the 30s and its just as if not more relevant now.

A friend sent me this photo today, and now i must share because 💚 KAKAPO 💚 Here is a lovely and funny article if you want to know more ridiculous true things about this bird: jgeekstudies.org/2018/10/17/d... For even more, read Last Chance To See. It’s my alltime favorite book. #DouglasAdamsSky

Please do not lose the ability to identify bullshit when you see it. There is enormous pressure right now to pretend bullshit is not bullshit, and that pressure will only increase with each passing day. Please fight that, if only in your own mind, so you do not deceive yourself.

Today, on Shirley Jackson’s birthday, let’s all marvel at one of the greatest opening paragraphs ever written (from THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE)

Never give up hope that, one day, you will pull a book from a bookshelf and that secret door will finally open for you.

Han Kang's Nobel lecture is now online. Please note that this was filmed *before* the events of 12/3 and only *released* now.

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

What Wilson Phillips never told you, is that you have to hold on for one more day EVERY SINGLE DAY

i’m gonna just watch this at least once a day and i recommend everyone do the same

It's all tied together and don't let them trick you into thinking it's for safety

all the quote replies of love changing shelter pets is making my heart happy

dear god pls protect mike tyson tonight and guide his head close to jake paul's ear and move his spirit to bite 🙏

mental health break? you bet it did

I do think this is one of the areas where we need to steal from their playbook. the FACTS may show economic growth, but consumers don’t FEEL that. the right ignores facts by appealing straight to everyone’s (worst) emotions, but the left can’t expect voters to be motivated by abstractions either

darkly funny that the end result of qanon was making a pedophile in charge of law enforcement

OMG. This is the best thing I’ve heard since I woke up on the 6th.

Yet again, I see that People Magazine is too cowardly to admit who the real Sexiest Man Alive is:
