btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, *to us*

As important and urgent as the Twitter issue is, it might be even more critical for EU member states to swiftly excise Starlink from their IT infrastructure

Past midnight, still awake, and now very hungry. I think I'll have to fo forage before I attempt to sleep.

Fortune cookie fortune: "it is easier to resist at the beginning than at the end."

I think this is the most infuriating part about all of this. We're letting tech bros, some literally in high school, take over our government.

Every day there are public servants in our towns, states, and nation making tremendous contributions to our lives that we don't notice because it has been as common to us as air for our entire lives. People are in for some rude awakenings.

I believe we’ll look back at tonight as a major turning point.

It's amazing watching how Marisa Kabas keeps scooping everyone by days, and they keep not giving credit. The news orgs are too busy being complicit to do basic fucking journalism

Pisses me off that we’re stardust with the gift of conscious existence and having to spend our time on all this bullshit.

Trayvon Martin. Ahmaud Arbery. Ralph Yarl. Jordan Neeley. And how many more that don't make the news.

I respect any motherfucker who can paint the hell out of light & water

Why buying banned books for yourself is not the way but getting your ass in a library board meeting is.

………. You do know that most of DEI hires the put on a public firing page were women Black women Who don’t stop being women just because we also happen to be Black

Today and every day

If you know any millennials who are having a baby, I offer the perfect gift. robsheridan.threadless.com/collections/... #bsnm

There are more *diagnosed* autistic people because they changed the diagnostic criteria and started diagnosing people other than white boys with autism. Also: 40 years of "awareness" campaigns. That's it. Mystery solved.

It took me most of the afternoon to draft this, but it's finally here - a bonanza of Unusual Historicals debuting in February 2025. Hey, you know all that talk about historicals "dying?" Yeah, maybe not so much. wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/2025/02/cand... #RomBkBlog #Romancelandia

I feel like a major dead angle on the part of these guys is always that they’re incapable of conceiving of anyone reacting to their destructive bullshit in any way other than screaming and crying and throwing up Anger, contempt and scorn, effective organizing—it’s just beyond them

People who will buy a horny visual novel game vastly outnumber those who will admit to buying a horny visual novel game This is a fundamental problem with voluntary polling in general

Please help Doaa, she’s going through an awful time and could use all the help she can get! Please boost!!

He's not. We saw this when he enshittified twitter. He will use some to mock people as they're fired, as in 'can you believe how useless this person is' This also serves to demotivate others, in an attempt to get them to leave on their own. All this is in Project 2025; make them miserable plan

The MAGA clout goblins can't BELIEVE we could possibly be offended at all their Nazi salutes, such soft lefty cucks we are, when less than five years ago they were LOSING THEIR MINDS over people taking the knee after the murder of George Floyd.

A #dailyTextie for Rob’s alt text giving a hysterical description of a discount egg toy gone awry. Nominated by @patchworkmouse.bsky.social

Blockworthy, in two acts: practical illustration of why locking replies and blocking with abandon help navigate social media.

I strongly feel that, in the same way that products must be labelled with the country of origin, everything which contains or has been influenced by AI at any stage should be clearly labelled as such so that those of us who wish to avoid it on principle can do so

I don’t think a single private citizen who is unelected should have full access to the federal government with zero oversight or accountability actually. Seems like a bad thing.

"Oh so you want the GOVERNMENT to run your insurance?" With stats like these? YES, ABSOLUTELY.

no one: absolutely no one: me: so here are three of my all-time favorite fics that I recommend to anyone who doesn't flee my presence quickly enough (at least two of which were written, as I later discovered, by beloved trad-pubbed authors):

Omigod, it’s Print Your Code for Review, Part two.

The credit card I use for Uber fares and grocery delivery has accidentally been getting ALL my moving expenses put on it and now needs at least $300 more in payments to stop being over the credit limit. We're out of cash until the 2nd week of March. Anything helps. PayPal.me/thelionmachine

getting tired of seeing all the Deleted Accounts from Gazans I've spoken to. Seriously, T&S, you don't have anything better to do with your time?
