They're building concentration camps for political dissidents

they blew out two veins (one in my hand!) before getting a good one for my infusion. all on the same arm. these bruises will be gnarly.

i don’t know how to stay even remotely neutral about the future, let alone positive.

this man has more courage and compassion than the vast majority of society. i can only hope that i would be brave enough to advocate for others during my one chance at speaking under similar awful circumstances.

this is how the american economy is going to work for AT LEAST two entire years

Many of modern America’s problems can be traced back to the 2000 smash hit “It wasnt me” by Shaggy, which pioneered the sort of shameless dishonesty in the face of directly contradictory facts that is now sadly commonplace in our culture

America is truly a death cult

Half of America has a chronic illness. I am one of those people. This is an active and immediate attack on our very lives, as if our medications weren’t expensive enough.

my offer to america: we bring woke back

when i say i’m buying the dip

I’ve been to 3 of the 5 terminals at DFW airport today trying to get home 😭

Hope it was worth it to stop a few of us from peeing.

elon musk can eat shit 🫶🏻

so many people disappoint me daily

hard day all around don’t know what to do

was wondering why i am kind of going absolutely insane, and like it could reasonably be the world but it’s more likely that I’ve been on prednisone for a few days

watching my bloodwork levels skyrocket towards concerning levels in the trend lines post-Jan 20, 2025 is uhhh really disheartening.

i am in a horrible trolley problem where i am also a person tied to the tracks and the person driving the trolley is trying to hand me the controls and tells me i have the power and responsibility to save people and it's just my own fault if we all die b/c i couldn’t get my hands out of the ropes

this is fucking disgusting

love being vulnerable and then getting silence in return 👍🏼

it’s awesome that i have an immune system so bad that pollen allergies can lead to pneumonia

This is the message federal employees receive after trying to send in their mandatory “5 bullets” email about what they did this week:

people regularly ask me what they should do to prepare for the possibility of mass violence and civil unrest. we give this advice often on It Could Happen Here but this is my list of advice in no specific order:

it’s a morning of sapphic yearning (but at least I see my girlfriend tomorrow)

celebrated & commiserated with reinstated probationary coworkers tonight. taking wins where we can get em.

one of my oldest friends was close by & drove to visit me, bought us food and brought it to the house so we could chill and eat it in our pajamas. and i just gotta say, i love when friends know the entire vibe that i need right now (since work is just a trauma fest).

yeah i think i will buy the supplies to make French martinis tonight. i deserve it (or something)

“sorry i went insane” is something i say much too often

hey, my friends & extended community really rule. that is all. 💜

woke up at 3am. got to work at 7:30am. gonna be here til 6pm. have to cook dinner when I get home. 💀

20 years of bitching about woke humanities departments and the first thing they do is defund STEM

It is genuinely your moral duty, if you’re in the sciences, to violate the terms of your contact and take as much of the research home with you as you can. Today, tomorrow, every day your lab’s still open.

don’t hold your breath, forget you've ever saw me at my best / you don't deserve what you don't respect / don’t deserve what you say you love and then neglect [yea I’m gonna post vague lyrics tonight bc I’m mentally ill and no one can stop me]

nobody’s gonna hand you a flashlight / you’re gonna have to steal what you need

it’s sunday and that means tomorrow is the start of another week of work-hell, but tues one of my closest friends is visiting me & friday i get to see my gf & sunday i have a fun date planned with my partner. so i just gotta keep identifying the carrots on a stick and keep going. 🫡

i do actually think that switching myself to a 4/10 schedule is the only reason i am not in a mental institution right now. that one extra weekend day helps so much.

date nights during the collapse of society hit different

fuck these fucking people

🚨 BREAKING: 11 young people were arrested after Schumer locked the doors on us—we showed him how to fight, but he couldn’t even face us. His cowardly deal gives Musk the keys to our government while working people suffer. If he won’t fight for us, he’s unfit to lead. Step up or step aside.

wrote a poem this morning it's called DJ Tiësto's St Paul Set Summer 2025

things i have been doing instead of being frozen in despair: - unionizing my workplace - quality time w/ my partners - listening to audiobooks - discovering new music - finding ways to preserve & save my science - prioritizing relationships that feel mutual
