Developing a psychological theory of history that posits the human mind can't handle staring into the void that fiat money doesn't have any intrinsic value despite the immense value in using it and so is driven to burn an otherwise working system down to avert cosmic horror

Since I’ve been getting this a lot - if you feel like supporting me by buying a jersey or something, I would rather you make a donation to Trans Lifeline or The Trevor Project www.thetrevorproject.org

Oops 😬

Meeting a friend's Hinge date: damn I'm grateful I didn't meet you when I was dating, you hit *several* of my codependent triggers, we would have been a painful disaster.

BREAKING: The United States of America will temporarily reopen as a Spirit Halloween

it frustrates me how often trans women think our value is based on if we martyr ourselves. we don’t need anymore martyrs; the state takes too many of us as it is. what we need is more trans women who grow old. elderly matriarchs talking shit & drinking together on a porch as our grandkids play.

I honestly love when battered tough old cats discover the soft life and just go "fuck yeah this is it for me now."

wrestling is trans because someone who was gone for a while will come back with a new name and everyone immediately accepts that and forgets the old name

this is an act of unspeakable violence. it benefits no one, it doesn’t move a number on a balance sheet. it only guarantees that every one of these incarcerated transgender people will be tortured.

Let me take this format for a spin

I started wondering.... surely some of the universities affected have children or grandchildren of Republican legislators attending. Perhaps sending them home because there aren't funds to educate them would send a message?

The sun will rise in #Denver #Colorado tomorrow at 6:43, 82 seconds earlier than the day before. It will set at 17:44, 67 seconds later than the day before.

Reupping bc I even have a PowerPoint. This is big.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

I'm gonna keep reposting examples of people not taking shit because it's important for us to see that you can, simply, reject the shit. Say "Uh... no no no, we will not be tolerating that."

they put in the newspaper that he got bitches

Can you reverse a 30-year nationwide trend towards more atomized, alienated and antisocial existences by paying an underclass of certain service workers a lot less money? Colorado Democrats seem resolved to find out.

"Let's figure out why men become Nazis" isn't a particularly rewarding game, in my opinion. Yes, everyone has reasons for what they do, but the answer to "why does a white man embrace a political system in which white men alone hold power" is fairly self-evident.

A stack of donuts becomes a cake

New in PN: AOC shows how to fight back and stand strong "Prominent figures standing up can undermine the climate of fear that MAGA relies on to impose terror. AOC’s work on behalf of her constituents and refusal to be intimidated are models of resistance other Democrats would do well to imitate."

Amazing how much better this looks than everything Meta has created.

Jeffries, Schumer and the rest of the leadership of the Democratic party can never know peace again

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. Gift link here: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

More of this. The fuck are you doing promoting a book when the country is falling apart?

I have been so excited since I found out this would be announced today! RIP any ability for me to concentrate: www.apple.com/tv-pr/news/2...

Strongly recommend calling your R reps if you live in Indiana and saying "I didn't vote to defund Dolly Parton!" reps.fyi

“Substituting the opinions of licensed medical professionals and individuals with that of the legislators’ own beliefs and values impermissibly requires Montanans to identify themselves based on the political ideology of legislators,” the court ruling states

Calling yourself a king doesnt make you a king. Delivering an all-time banger of a speech on St. Crispin’s Day does.

About 50 years ago, I was reading political thrillers, including several by Fletcher Knebel. His 1966 novel, NIGHT OF CAMP DAVID, centers on a U.S. president who has gone insane. Signs of insanity include: desire for (a) an alliance with the USSR, and (b) annexation of Canada.

lmfao holy shit we're reaching new levels of "fuck the yanks"

I’m here. 19thnews.org/2025/02/tran...

I need abled people to understand that breaking someone's wheelchair is like breaking your legs. Both of them. They want to get away with breaking people's legs.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

If your writing didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be going after our books and our stories and desperately trying to rewrite them and/or destroy them. Language is power.

MTA to Feds: Drop dead

Just learned of a newborn girl named Louella May, guess we're doing country-ass names now.

This is just to say I have fired the bureaucrats throughout your government Even the ones that were probably keeping planes in the air Forgive me I am not very smart So efficiency Much savings

I shouldn't feel shock about this but it's just..YOU CAN'T SAVE AN ECTOPIC PREGNANCY. There is no ethical conflict that precludes removing it. It's an utterly nonsensical legal, medical, or ethical stance.
