Currently wishing my skills and talents matched my ambitions even a little bit. I wish I had smaller ambitions so that I had smaller feelings whenever I fail (which is pretty much always). I don't think that's how things work, but still.

I had to remind myself that this is a satire post and definitely not a believable, achievable law that IN would absolutely enforce.

Good morning from my part of the world! Reminder: Almost 100% of fentanyl brought into the U.S. is brought by legal U.S. citizens, most of them white. Cartels don't have to send criminals. They're just hiring ours.

There is still beauty in this world

This is my second time in a week that I'm watching the director's cut of #BluesBrothers. The whole movie fills me with delight, but there's something cathartic that happens when I watch them drive through the crowd of Illinois #Nazis. "I hate Illinois Nazis." -Jake Blues

People will get fired if they make policy decisions that don't align with the current administration's ideals. This is fun! I'm having fun.

To be clear, it does NOT matter if YOU do not believe that Elon Musk did a Nazi salute. Neo-Nazis and white supremacists on Telegram believe they were represented at a presidential inauguration. That's all they need to bolster their energy. Your personal opinions don't change that.

Royally amused by this genuine criticism against #socialism found on #Facebook. Even *I* have my complaints about socialism, but "too much intellectualism" was certainly not on that list...

The Trump administration claims that expanding oil and gas drilling would help lower grocery costs. In reality, increasing American oil production—which is already booming—would have little to no effect.

I think there's humor in the concept that Americans view themselves as independent while most of us don't grow (or often even cook) our own food. We work as cogs (not as independents) for corporate machines that decide what resources we get and the quality we get them in.

I'm looking forward to attending this on March 10th! I love my birds, especially the local ones I get to peep at when on my hikes around The Region. I look forward to fighting for ways to protect the habitats where our beautiful birds live and flourish.

My mom was excited to learn about open job positions for those with EMS experience until she discovered she'd be working for the newly established immigrant deportation center just outside of Chicago. I hate it here.

Currently feeling stuck and unable to achieve the goals I want in life. Feeling like I am very close, but a single locked door stands in my way. I've tried asking for the key. I dont know how to go about breaking the door down at this point.

Absolutely appalled by my home state's efforts to gut its education. The "best and brightest" will rarely ever be a Hoosier, I fear.

The "slow breathing to convince your body that you are not actually in physical danger" thing actually kinda works, y'all.

I'm glad to see so many are starting to abandon social media as a common form of communication now that it's largely deteriorating into different types of Truth Social. Now we just gotta band together to pull out the people who stay sucked in. The mental health of vulnerable people are at risk.

i love propaganda that confirms all the beliefs i already held

We're making all your websites shitty and evil. What are you gonna do, log off and spend time with your family

Hey so I know it's a cult that's in the movie Midsommar and everything but I'm in a headspace where that circle of women all just wailing and sobbing with Florence Pugh while she was having a panic attack would definitely pass the vibe check I am just saying

It's important to remind ourselves that genes alone do not dictate the people we become. Overwhelmingly, the environment in which we live shapes us in ways that often feel perplexing. Sometimes, if you want to survive in a given environment, you have to make choices you wouldn't otherwise consider.

In my highly conservative U.S. state, there's a liberal pocket colloquially referred to as "Da Region." We're comprised of roughly 6 counties that culturally represent Midwestern, metropolitan-influenced suburbia. Residents are often called "Region Rats." Michael Jackson was a fellow Region Rat!

Gotta show my great love for the #selfcare app, #Finch. #FinchApp incentivizes healthy living habits & useful coping skills with the care of your own "birb" companion. Please enjoy this adorable screenshot of my birb & my mom's birb adventuring together. Add me with my Friend Code: EF6YYS14HS

I've been grappling a lot with time management between making a living and committing to independent research. I do meaningful work and value it highly, but it's a struggle to carve out time for the less lucrative work that I also value very, very highly.

Getting an email with a video from Vimeo's CEO personally wishing everyone a happy new year feels like big dick energy to me in this post-Luigi world, idk.

Do you know a UK-based wheelchair user who works in a lab and would be willing to user-test our prototype of what is believed to be the first-ever lab coat adapted for wheelchair users? Please share far & wide! Interest form: forms.office.com/e/66FhcQjqRT More info: www.ucl.ac.uk/ucl-east/new...

we are in the era of “it FEELS true” mindset

Am I the only one who feels dirty when she uses #hashtags in her posts? It's just that the blue is different from the color that the rest of the characters are in. And now I feel dirty. #Neurodivergent

My sentiments

My red flag is that I post a TikTok maybe twice a year, but because I think they are each absolute bangers, I angrily question why I'm not TikTok famous yet. I don't even want fame, I just want validation. ✨️Toxic✨️

We got a new area rug for the home. From the moment it was placed, my cat loafed up in the corner and has been defaulting to this corner ever since. It's her loaf corner. The corner where she loafs. It's best if we loaf her alone; give her the space to come and loaf as she pleases.

I would argue that it began before the Reagan administration. After all, Joe Coors (of Coors beer) co-founded The Heritage Foundation (Project 2025) in 1972 with the support of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He endorsed Reagan as early as 1968. He also helped fund Reagan's presidential campaign.

If you have a just a little to give, please give it here. ❤️🖤🤍💚

On this January the 6th, I see comments over disbelief that someone like Trump ever got elected in the first place. Do you see it now? This has been our culture. The disgust you feel for your fellow citizens is the same decades-old disgust that folks around the world have felt for ALL Americans.

When I started learning how to code, Linux was my initial OS for it. Frankly, I'm all for going back.

As a resident Hoosier but Illinois commuter, I have to say that I am terrified of crossing that state border these days. Will peace ever come?!
