It's consistently remarkable to me how many folks out there simply refuse to believe it is possible that a dumb person could simply fall upwards and find success through wealth and connections - A thing that is constantly happening right in front of us all the time

The second worst part about abuse is how often you’re just like oh doyyy I can’t believe I fell for that. Like it makes you feel stupid what you let people do to you out of your willingness to trust and believe and care about them! The first worst part is being abused. Not a fan of that one either.

The reason people in toxic families don’t heal is because they have one another & bond over their denial. They hide in each other’s shadows. The reason the cycle breaker chooses to heal is because those people have never supported them & healing is the only lifeline they have.

And there it is. Same holds for activists, writers, "free speech" orgs, arts institutions and everyone else who has been silent for 15 months.

It’s really truly scary how corporate media is just glossing over the fact that orange man signed an eo last night essentially trying to make the dictatorship official. But everything is owned by billionaires and if we freak out too much we won’t buy their shit

According to a bunch of targeted ads I'm getting, some countries are poising themselves to look attractive for the upcoming Brain Drain that is seen during hostile religious coups like ours. I'm getting ads from Canada, Germany, Ireland, and I'm sure more as Europe turns their back on the US.

liberal capitlism can both be considered a “failure” (the system isn’t achieving its stated aims) and also “doing what it was designed to do” (the system is doing what it’s aims were to do) because its stated aims were always contradictory.

My stepmother never let me be alone with my therapist so I could never tell her what was really going on at home. This shit is only happening so abusers can keep abusing. And tbh the republican party is the party of choice for abusers.

The only way I can interpret the GOP's actions is that they are 100% certain they will never face another democratic election again. They hit the shore and burned their ships.

in what meaningful way can we say that the constitution is in effect when an unelected and unaccountable billionaire is wielding state power to unilaterally cancel congressional appropriations?

may be beside the point/extremely obvious but i feel like you can only ignore extreme wealth inequality for so long before it metastasizes into something that fundamentally remakes and destabilizes the world by giving people access to so much money that they are fully above consequence

That "free speech absolutism" movement was just a Trojan horse for hate. Notice how they're all silent with the destruction of insane amounts of information

Insulting someone’s intelligence during discourse is a good way to let someone know “I have no idea what I’m talking about and now I’m deflecting”

So, would you say infinite growth is a possibility on Earth? Can vegetation keep growing into the mesosphere? What about within the human body? What would you call infinite growth? Cancer? Then why is it our entire economic model?

Not all hate is equal—both the left and the right hate. The left hates to see human rights being taken away and people hurting. The right hates to see human rights become more inclusive and people happy. Not all hate is equal.

Now I know why the right doesn't understand the "woke" agenda... Theirs is: Me Money Power The "woke" agenda is: Kindness Compassion Love They're in it for themselves. We're in it for others.

Fuck anyone who is using this time as an opportunity to further sow division among the left. They care more about imaginary internet points than actually activating against fascism.

The '90s—in a nutshell: "...everyone assumed that in a more open, interconnected world, democracy and liberal ideas would spread to the autocratic states. Nobody imagined that autocracy and illiberalism would spread to the democratic world instead." –@anneapplebaum.bsky.social AUTOCRACY, INC.

One of the saddest truths I have come to know is that the most talented, caring and beautiful souls I know are filled with constant, mind-churning self-doubt, self-loathing, and Imposter Syndrome… while the heinous bullies sleep like babies, wake up refreshed, look in the mirror, and see perfection.

Elon Musk’s achievements to date in the field of human transportation are: cars that drive themselves off cliffs and rockets that explode mid-flight. Teslas have the worst fatality rate in the auto industry. Commercial aviation is so safe, it averages only one accident per 880,000 flights.

Dude, social media just sucks now. Can’t even find community on an app geared towards those on the left. The right doesn’t have to do anything to divide us, we are doing that work ourselves.

Jim Davis thinks we’re all stupid. Garfield first appeared in 1978. The normal lifespan of a cat is 13-20 years. He’s replaced Garfield, probably multiple times.
