If we're sharing cultural artifacts from the Iraq war era with the youths, I am generationally required to share this: www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCpj...

This is of course awful but surely we can all appreciate how odd it was to the New York Times that someone would give a damn about ensuring accuracy before publication.

The repression of trans people is not, by and large, a grassroots outpouring of hatred from the American people. It's something that's been carefully planted and tended over years by a handful of media people and their pet reporters.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Them: "How are you feeling?" Me: "Everything is awful, but I'm mostly numb to feeling anything at all at this point? Dissociating, mostly." Them: ... Me: "...I meant it's fine. Everything is fine. How are you?"

like I know we all know it but Christ when you say it out loud

i fully thought i wouldn’t see gay marriage legalized before i was 70 and then it happened when i was 20, when it was STILL pretty unpopular this has happened with every single rights issue. stop telling trans people it’ll get better if they just keep accepting punches until cis people get tired

Mondays feel like they're here to insult us, personally.

DA confirms they will go to the grand jury to seek first degree murder charges after they have time to review evidence. Under Minn. Law, 2nd degree was the highest charge they could bring by complaint (w/o GJ) & they needed charges to get the arrest warrant they used Sunday night.

People die everyday from medical neglect. Believe these stories when you hear them because often they don't make the news until they are tragic. And even then they don't.

can’t believe this still needs to be said, but: stop following altNPS. none of them work for the NPS and they exist to do Qanon numbers station crap and sell merch. it’s annoying for a lot of us that are actually NPS. thanks

the rational assumption for most people at this point on seeing agents of the state is that there’s a good chance they’re going to kidnap or murder you, whether they’re real agents or fake ones this is America

Genuinely, we may be headed toward - let’s say a lot of collective action. Giving your allies covid or becoming disabled by long covid is about the worst own-goal you can imagine. Please mask today.

This is a strong point.

So this week we’ve had a man impersonating an ICE agent tie up a woman and steal $1000; a man impersonating a police officer assassinate a top Democratic politician & her husband (and shoot another Democrat & his wife); and a man impersonating a king hold a military parade for his birthday

However much you trust or don't trust police, "if someone claiming to be a cop comes to your door, call 911" is good advice for America in 2025.

Dear News Networks: The term for a “targeted politically motivated shooting” of a currently serving legislator is “Assassination.”

I am once again fucking BEGGING YALL STOP SREADING SUBSTACKS STOP PROMOTING SUBSTACKS STOP MAKING SUBSTACKS

One of the upsetting things, I'm finding, of having store bought cortisol is that it doesn't build up unless I choose to. But I know it should be there. So there's a weird disconnect during times like this.

I was already angry at the world and then I got to spend my lunch break playing Schrodinger's "we don't want to cover your meds because you're trans" with my insurance (and I think my doctor is not doing great at their end of this process).

These are job loss penalties. They call them "work requirements" because they are trying to trick you. So, what exactly are job loss penalties? They kick people off Medicaid by creating administrative traps, cut ppl off from care if they lose their job or can't prove work, punish poverty & precarity

there’s a reason bluesky is a retirement home for millennial posters - we grew up before algorithms and were not used to having content shoved in our faces unasked for we chose to click on those terrible threads ourselves

“Pro-vaccine groups” are not a special interest group to be skeptical of they are ALL OF THE FUCKING MAINSTREAM SCIENTISTS AND DOCTORS
