Being a person with deadly, incurable cancer who is nonetheless still alive for an indefinite timeframe gives me an interesting metaphor that helps me deal with things like large-scale corruption in government or commerce. Bear with me for a second while I try to explain.

lots of folks saying things like, "the government won't be able to revoke your passport for no reason, that's against the law!" I help people fight unlawful government decisions for a living. please believe me when I say that the government routinely breaks the law and they mostly get away with it.

it genuinely sucks that basically nothing on the internet works well anymore. search? barely works. social media? filled with garbage engagement-bait designed to game the algorithm. news websites? pages that refresh at random or so covered in video ads that it’s impossible to read stories

1) Judeo-Christian doesn't exist 2) You mean Christian just say Christian 3) Jews don't have anything to do with Christian bullshit 4) Christians are not societally allowed to genocide us anymore so they made up this fake word to assimilate us into their bullshit and erase us that way instead

Making jokes about something like this is honestly sick. It's a genuine tragedy that Mitch McConnell is still alive, and my heart is with all those affected.

Things are just continuing to get more weird right? Like everyone you interact with just more unhinged right? It’s not just me that’s noticing right?

On Twitter in one of my threads someone just said "Threads had 30M signups in one day, Bluesky has lost its chance to become the next Twitter" and he may be right, but what he doesn't know is that people here are like "cool, dodged THAT bullet"

Someone on Mastodon described Bsky as "a bunch of people hanging around in the parking lot after the mall has closed" and I thought it was A) accurate and B) pretty great actually

Thinking of years of don’t-be-hysterical-ism in pop media. One strain: “they’re not going to OVERTURN Roe, stop acting like this is an emergency when it’s not.” Another: “we’re not moving backward on LGBTQ issues, there are, like, rainbow flags at Starbucks now. You can’t reverse that.” Anyway.

Message to white women: You will NEVER free yourselves from the yoke of “the patriarchy” WITHOUT being in solidarity to those who exist at the intersections, many of which you’re able to leverage for your “benefit” Your maintenance of white supremacy enslaves you as well 💛✊🏾

Amazing reporting from the Washington Post's Hannah Natanson, who looked at requests to ban books in more than 100 school districts across the country, and found that the majority of them were filed by .... 11 people. https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2023/05/23/lgbtq-book-ban-challengers/

Some good news: for a few years now I’ve been working to get the FDA to drop a discriminatory ban against gay & bisexual men from donating blood. 🩸 Today we won! 🥳 FDA just announced new blood donation guidelines & dropped the ban! Shout out Reps. Schiff, Pappas, & B Lee who we worked w/ on this

It never made sense to me that getting your first period is considered “exciting” but hitting menopause isn’t. It’s way more exciting to know you’ll never have to deal with this shit again than it is knowing it’s gonna be your problem for decades to come.

This is what happens when you hire a late night talk show producer to run a news network. Chris Licht is ridiculous.
