btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, to us

Expect an uptick in suicides, as Project 2025 continues to be implemented. Especially folks (like me) who are highly intelligent, on the spectrum and/or otherwise neurodivergent. Many of us rely on patterns/predictability to stay sane. Project 2025’s initial disorientation intentional upends this.

Saw this guy (large liberal account) claim that even though everyone will deny it now, Trump was beloved before MAGA. It really highlights how misogyny is ignored & women aren't listened to. 🧵

I am very sad to say that I would have said this is a straight line from exactly what the signals were online, and nobody was listening to the whole cohort of folks shouting about this for about 10 years straight while having their lives ruined for mentioning it

Friendship saved my dog's life once, repaired him another time, & a third time told me point blank that he didn't need their treatment and would be fine the next day, after taking him in for 15ish mins and charging me nothing.

Yes. There has never been a society where women oppress men as men oppress women in patriarchy. The alternative to patriarchy/dominator culture is PARTNERSHIP, & it's how humans have lived the vast majority of our time on Planet Earth.

It's easy to think that cutting down a single tree won't make much difference. However, when multiplied by millions of trees felled each year, the impact becomes staggering.According to the UN,we're losing about 10 million hectares of forest each year,roughly the size of Iceland

1/? You wanna know why the Dems suck at messaging? They suck at messaging because they cannot tell white people the truth about white supremacy, which is the reason why we are here. If they did tell white people the truth, white people would flee the Dems more than they already have.

It's 17 years from Bilbo's birthday to when Gandalf returns—but it's less than a year from Frodo leaving Bag End to the destruction of the One Ring. Just a little reminder that events can take a long time to build, but when the boulder gets a-rolling, things come to a head awfully quickly.

Yes. I started writing because it gave me positive attention, and then I kept writing because people started paying me for it. They are the foundations of why I became a writer and I'm not afraid to acknowledge that. I am also creative and like writing! But that's not why I started and kept at it.
