This presidential administration has my 70-something mother writing emails to me in the tones of a Civil War bride writing to her husband in Chattanooga.

What a day, what an internet

4Chan was hacked, its source code was leaked, admin emails were leaked, AND a lot of registered users used their real names and .edu email addresses. Lotta CHUDs getting exposed to sunlight today.

it’s pretty funny 4chan might actually be down forever. dreams do come true

If you're a harlot, an aspiring harlot, a former harlot, a fan of harlots, or academically interested in the topic of harlotry, you *need* to watch this phenomenal new video from @katblaque.bsky.social (even if, like me, you have no clue what a bop house is) youtu.be/JulAIPU0ICs?...

The Exile's Lament, from my favorite book in the world, specifically because I found the perfect font #KushielsDart

i do like that the dems are finally doing something & it's clearly popular, but this filibuster should've been a real one against the CR that schumer whipped cloture votes on. theres a lot of real appetite from the base for resistance - hope its not just for optics.

This is why if you’re considering running for office, you SHOULD. Our leaders can either fight for us or they can step aside for someone who will. It’s what everyone wants — except the ultra-rich and corporate PACs.

uh, is he drunk?

my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

The reason that Jeffrey Goldberg’s name popped up in Signal for Michael Waltz is that he was already leaking to Goldberg, an ally in some internal Trump admin fights, per a source familiar. Probe possible.

“Sometimes I ask myself, is everyone else on the bombing Yemen group chat except me?”

Adding a journalist to a top secret government group chat about dropping bombs *IS* the kind of thing people who aren’t super politically literate can understand and find shocking/notable/disqualifying. Dems should seize on this and never ever let it go. I hope to hear about it in a decade

Can I get a browser plug-in that automatically checks content for generative AI and warns me of its presence by popping up this gif

EXACTLY

"Photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word ”gay,” including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan." Stop using satire in sci-fi, it's no longer necessary.

Imagine thinking the worst part of the "Enola Gay" is the gay part.

I knew it would be dumb, I didn’t think it would be forbidden Enola Gay dumb.

1990s culture wars: We’re cancelling the Enola Gay exhibit bc veterans and historians can’t agree whether we should celebrate its role in ending WWII or critically assess the decision to use nuclear weapons 2020s culture wars: We’re cancelling the Enola Gay bc “gay” is a no-no word

My YouTube algorithm is kind of deranged but y'all it just gave me this, and tbh it's unironically amazing! youtu.be/2vF26QG9he4?...

Look y'all, I really need to get some furniture into my storage unit (in ABQ) this evening, and I'd be VERY GRATEFUL if anybody could help me carry things! My wife has a bad migraine from overexertion but I can't carry furniture alone. Anybody?! Can offer cash / eternal gratitude / favors / content!

Ezri once told Worf, "The Klingon Empire is dying, and I think it deserves to die … I know this sounds harsh, but the truth is you have been willing to accept a government that you know is corrupt. Gowron is just the latest example." Later that day, Worf killed Gowron. This is a post about DS9.

my demise is not a thing that I owe to the world, no matter what the world has to say about it. and that will have to be enough.

I find that it's much easier to be plucky and determined after a good night's sleep

Biblically accurate lesbian ✂️ (Does anyone know who made this? I found it wandering free)

The Bynars walked so the J'naii could run

An update! We've had some good luck & now there is money! Seeking help this week with: • packing boxes • putting stuff in storage • looking for housing that could work w/ my fragrance allergy Any ideas? Know someone with a place to rent out in #Albuquerque? Want to buy this house & rent it to us?!

Skyler is urgently in need of help so everything doesn't fall apart! I'm going to send some money as soon as a transfer clears but more is needed! Can anyone help?

Hey Hampshire College alumni! I've created this feed to mimic (ish) the Facebook group experience. Include either #hampshirecollegealumni or #hampshirealumni in your posts for them to be added to this feed. Add/pin the feed to keep up with the posts!

So uh, we're a married queer couple, we're both disabled, and we're about to be homeless. Everything is terrifying!

I'm trying to escape the clutches of Facebook *and* connect/reconnect with people, so I'll just leave my contact details here, since BlueSky is a nice, reasonable platform that doesn't demote posts for mentioning other social media sites

This new video from @fdsignifier.bsky.social is about 500× more useful than most videos about making videos, and it absolutely made me want to make videos

Which do you prefer, the ghostly edit or the regular edit? #timetravelingmaybe

Listening to Kat Blaque has never steered me wrong

So... yeah.

Skyler is a wonderful person who needs help to fund traveling to get to someplace with safe housing ❤️

it’s becoming increasingly clear the goal of the far right is to defund and buy up every source of reliable information until there is no more objective reality to counter them
