white women not every weird or scary interaction is a "human trafficking" attempt challenge.

americans are addicted to convenience but who for? it seems to me that all the convenience products we're obsessed with simply free up time for us to be cogs for the capitalist class. time saved is never a benefit we actually reap.

month out from a marathon & I pull a muscle.... bowling. 👵🏻

why does every one of his cabinet picks look like a half melted candle at the goodwill??????

awesome moon

I have four (4) separate outdoor seating areas & no (0) inside living room furniture I am doing desert living right.

ai makes you dumber while stealing from people, destroying the planet, & being wrong a lot of the time. there's no reason to use it.

kendrick is a genius.

Truth in reconciliation: in the past I’ve allowed myself to be taken in by what some people call class reductionism. But like, nah. The idea that we can magically overthrow capitalism while never forcing white people to confront white supremacy is as idiotic as it is morally hollow.

I always read "doge" as "dog-e".

& this is why nothing will ever be done about student debt or the cost of education.

update on this.... the chipmunks ate this ENTIRE succulent.

the only thing I find shocking is that buying our whole country/government wasn't even all that expensive.

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

the little black dress of failed states.

damn I was hoping for that federal tax return to buy a gun.

here we go...
