Deescalating conflict with anyone who isn’t the enemy is my new mantra

someone should write a Wikipedia article for “Gnosticism among terminally online trans women” to help out the recently transitioned

“Trump may be talking about Ein Volk, but have you seen the price of Ein Yolk?” -Chuck Schumer, probably

There's no singular gender-neutral pronoun and if anyone tries to use one they should be punished

But how will students start their papers now?

if you still have imposter syndrome at this point you're NGMI

hi yes hello this is 1000% true and it’s why a crucial part of stopping them involves holding onto our capacity to care for each other no matter what. NO MATTER WHAT

It’s very funny how for a week Dem leaders and media were like “We shouldn’t do the resistance thing this time” only to have Trump smash the country in the face and kick it right back up again. For some reason it’s the most powerful people who have the hardest time remembering this isn’t all a game

Dems are still operating in a political paradigm where the public has a set of concerns, roughly reflecting the reality of life in America, and elections are about who addresses them better. But that is not the political paradigm we’ve lived in, for a long time, and we’re getting further from it.

it might be a tough love situation for the US. our allies shouldnt trust us! trump has been elected twice- they would be damned fools to assume sane or stable leadership from us ‘trump isnt who we are’ might be true, but so what? he is the one calling the shots and ‘we’ definitely are not

None of this is funny. Trump is degrading our relationships even before taking office. Our allies can no longer trust us. He is destabilizing economies, affecting politics in these countries, and showing utter disrespect for national sovereignty.

The Vegas bomber called for a "hard reset" 👀 Anyone who studies Terrorgram will recognize "hard reset" as an accelerationist phrase popular among neo-fascists

Simon McBurney justifies the creation of Nosferatu. I have complaints about the film, but the cast was all perfectly lovely, except for McBurney, who outshines the movie itself, imo

i take a piece of origami paper and fold it into a boat i unfold the boat and refold the paper into a swan is the swan still a boat? now, i take a penis and-

Russia shoots another civilian ✈️, says it’s birds, refuses to let it land in RU, jams GPS, forces it to cross Caspian Sea, pilots fly 90 min w tail of plane blown apart by RU air def + no navigation, manage to land in KZ & save dozens of lives RU actions create lots of heroes—just on the OTHER side

another of those "can't possibly get enough attention" stories. U.S. citizens being deported, already

It appears that the person who ratted out this 20-year old Texas abortion patient to the cops was the man who impregnated her, which leads me to my sad but essential reminder: if you are having an abortion in a ban state, tell as few people as possible, and importantly, do not tell your boyfriend.

media rn uncritically making shit up about airplanes for their audiences

The incompetence in the first administration often meant that there was no one around to turn Trump's tweets into an actionable policy that would get past the people running the show in the cabinet agencies, complied with the APA, and could survive contact with the judiciary. See the problem? 1/

hanging on to this as a life preserver

I don’t know what exactly, probably not drone strike the Kremlin, but a Russian effort to make bomb threats against polling places and counting centers is a real and serious direct attack on the United States and it merits a real and serious direct response.

failing to vote because you don't like the system is like refusing to tip waitstaff because you think minimum wage ought to be raised. it's a personal exercise, somewhere between ablution and masturbation, and the kid serving you lunch still goes home hungry.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at Harvard Medical School have developed a nasal spray that in preclinical studies, offered NEARLY 100% protection from respiratory infections by COVID-19, influenza, viruses, AND pneumonia-causing bacteria. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

I'm still £345 short for rent and I have until Monday. I'd prefer it if you signed up for the patreon as that way you get something in return so I can feel a bit better about it but frankly I'm desperate and will take whatever I can get.

fascinating statement being made here

In the past 20 years we've had Under the Skin, The Wailing, The Witch, Hagazussa, The Devil's Bath, The Loved Ones, Kill List, Skinamarink, The Lighthouse, History of the Occult, The Eyes of My Mother, Love Lies Bleeding, Byzantium, Only Lovers Left Alive. Unbelievable renaissance by any standard.

I can't believe how hard instagram is pushing for me to add music to my photos. I AM OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER HOW ANNOYING AUTOPLAYING MUSIC ON A WEBSITE IS. Just let me post selfies in peace
