My life was about to be so good. It was so close, it was within reach, it was almost mine. And then I lost the only thing making it possible. I am so indescribably tired of setbacks.

This hit me SO hard 😭

"We hate him too"

Every year that passes... the farther the US sinks into Christian nationalism... the more I resent my father trying to convince me in 2008 that the gay marriage debate was about taxes and not homophobia

looking back everything went to shit when Schoolhouse Rock stopped airing

If you think DEI results in unqualified people being hired, what you really think is that people from marginalized groups can't be qualified. You think POC can't be qualified. You think women can't be qualified. You think veterans, LGBT+, people with disabilities can't be qualified.

This caught fire on X.

Area free speech absolutist says journalists he doesnt like should face a “long prison sentence”

There’s gonna be so many variations on this theme over the next three years and eleven months. www.wsj.com/politics/pol...

We must not move on from this. What he said here is utterly un-American. You either condemn it, laugh it off, or embrace it. History will remember your response.

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

Measles high infection rate is the reason we have not yet been able to eradicate it. That rate means you need a very high vaccination rate to prevent outbreaks. It is possible, but not with current levels of institutional distrust.

Trudeau: "There's not a snowball's chance in hell that Canada will ever be the 51st state"

But plastic straws are back…

I hope my family feels fucking great about voting to take away my benefits when they're the only thing keeping me afloat

Like, of COURSE my medication shipment would be delayed and rerouted for no reason, when it never has been before, after I have already been out of the medication for a week because I couldn't pay my bill on time. Of COURSE that would happen. Why wouldn't it?

mind you, this "doge official" IS A FRESHMAN AT NORTHEASTERN

as a technologist I cannot overstate how bad these people are at being technologists

a little good news to start your day

I’m sure that if AOC roused an angry mob of Democrats to storm the Capitol and smear their poop on the walls, Donald and the Republicans would call it the worst terrorist attack in history without a shred of irony.

VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM. There are more cases of autism because clinicians are better at diagnosing it than ever before. Education is the vaccine against believing conspiracy theories.

This is so disturbing.

It's been, one week since they did a coup

Gerry Connolly: "It is a matter for Congress to deal with, not an unelected billionaire oligarchy named Elon Musk. And Elon, if you want to run USAID, get nominated by Trump and go to the Senate and good luck in getting confirmed."

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

I love my therapist because we can talk about my trauma AND how Cats is the most unhinged musical ever

Anyway as they pull bodies out of the Potomac bear in mind that the guiding ethos of Trumpism is that the TSA, NTSB, and FAA should be radically downsized and run by dudes whose main qualifications are loyalty are a willingness to say “cunt” a lot

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

I feel this in my bones. shityoushouldcareabout.substack.com/p/what-its-l...

You know what, my sister may vote conservative, but at least she's always been gay-friendly enough to expose me to queer media (movies, tv, etc) from an early age. I think it really helped open my worldview and steer me toward a lot of things that have brought me joy and made me a better person.

Hairspray (musical) is about solidarity between Fat White Girls and POC because the man has wronged them both and as a lifelong FWG vibing with POC I think that's so beautiful

Just imagine.

Interrupt me at your own risk I will start this WHOLE story over just to remember what I was gonna say next

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz. It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”. It started with intolerance and hate speech. It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye. Remember.
