I think I need to do a digital detox for a while. I told my therapist that I only get dopamine from food and the Internet now and that's concerning.

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

I woke up at noon and didn't take Vyvanse bc it was too late, and then I ate a huge brunch, and now I'm trying not to fall asleep.

public support for *interracial* marriage only broke 50 percent in the mid-1990s. when my parents were born it polled at 4 percent among white people, now it polls at 93 percent among white people.

I actually would like Bluesky to become more popular, but I don't think you need more right-wing opinions for that, you need more stupid stuff: running jokes, parasocial posts about celebrities, meme one-upmanship, thirst traps, shipping convos, ludicrously inflammatory posts about TV shows, etc.

Do me a favour and let them know it's me? 🥰

Artists! Are you interested in long fics? Collaboration? 2min? If so, please consider joining 2MIN BIG BANG, an event in which writers and artists collaborate to create 2min works! Artist applications will remain open until July 21, 2025 (link below).

Please consider that I would love to be in the thick of it, but I also need medical insurance and a roof over my head, and I would lose my job in a hot second if I did take off work for this. Corporate America is on their side, not mine.

IF THE SITUATION WAS HOPELESS THEIR PROPAGANDA WOULD BE UNNECESSARY

it really doesn’t matter if someone is in america illegally or not. who cares, grow up

"Neutrality" in journalism is a fetishistic commitment to never admitting or allowing your journalists to admit what's happening right in front of them.

Just FYI to LA folks: If you see ICE in your community, call the LA Rapid Response Network Hotline at 1-888-624-4752 to report it.

This. We're conditioned to believe, through the media we consume, that fascistic changes happen suddenly, catastrophically. In reality, they creep along as birds sing, as you drink a peaceful cup of coffee, or you run mundane errands. Your rights deplete as you vacuum your floors and make your bed.

My dad, who has lived under a dictatorship, knows one when he sees one. His first text this morning is that we are now officially in a dictatorship. It is all pretty grim.

Remember this iconic photo from Ferguson? This is Edward Crawford, throwing back a tear gas canister to protect some nearby kids. Like many identified Ferguson protesters and organizers, he was "found dead" a couple years later and neither the cops nor the media will ever investigate.

Today: Tanks are being moved en masse into DC. Trump is deploying a state national guard over a governor’s objection to police protests. Trump threatened a major donor with “severe consequences” if they support his political opponents. If you’re still wondering what time it is, read this again

Undocumented immigrants pay almost $100 billion in taxes each year. The top 1% evade $163 billion in taxes each year. Stop pretending that immigrants are the ones taking advantage of taxpayers.

Lmao wait really

has posting thru it ever worked

Democrats are so beyond fucking stupid. In other news, water is wet.

boundless admiration for the people out in the streets in LA right now. just incredible. if you've made a single ICE agent even a little bit more afraid, it's done a universe of good

I hope they never stop tweeting. My god.

And in today’s crudely constructed metaphors for current events news:

cats don't obey in advance and no one else should, either

#loveislandusa I'm catching up and god Jeremiah please go home. Honestly just bring in like 6 new boys and restart

I'm catching up on #loveislandusa and I'm only on ep 2 and have decided that everyone but Chelly and Olandria are trash and need to go.

Yesssss we love a good late-in-lifer!! If you think it's too late for you, take inspo from this tree: its never too late!

It's weird how Kevin Costner has never been in a good movie.

We had to listen to these worthless fucking lowlifes talk about “states’ rights” for DECADES

not sure there's a more embarrassing profession than ICE agent. Oh, you dress like a soldier to abduct sous chefs and throw flashbangs at protesters? Get a real job you loser

Cops are cops are cops are cops are cops are cops are cops are cops are cops, etc.

One of my favorite songs from half a century ago finally has an official music video, and it is tremendous.

It's nice lol. Nooo I'm dying

Sitting outside waiting for our food and is 91 feels like 98. Sometimes you just have to accept that you live like this

The thing about Florida is, no matter how low you keep your AC, you have to battle the humidity. When it's high, your sweat doesn't evaporate, so you can't cool off. You ever been inside the AC but still felt hot but clammy? That's that humidity.

Some people should be less about "white power" and more about "wipe power". Ya ass stinks

More recommended reading, for any month. Geared toward young readers 12 and up—but if that's not you, don't let it stop you from picking up a great book. #Pride bookshop.org/p/books/tran...

did i just have a stroke

Some of y'all cant handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows This is direct communication (phallocentric) vs indirect communication (gynocentric) I understand you aren't used to it

Eid Mubarak! Say it back. 🌙✨🌟

Take ONE FUCKING GUESS the color of the kid killed, then guess the color of the driver. No peeking! Ikyk...
