Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs ("Hard mode" no Star Wars, Star Trek or LOTR)

Someone in the crowd is in medical distress while nurses are on stage at the fighting oligarchy rally. The nurses rush off stage to give medical aid

Fear has a way of being contagious. But courage is also contagious.

In 1862, a Union soldier found cigars wrapped in a piece of paper in a field of clover. The paper was a copy of Confederate Gen. Lee's invasion orders. The Southern sloppiness helped the Union stop Lee at Antietam. It's unknown who lost the orders in the field, or if he was related to Pete Hegseth.

In fact it’s the modern version of it.

Quebecker tells it like it is. In English. Because that's the only language his intended audience can understand.

I want to make this crystal clear, because there is no negotiating with me regarding human rights. You are either a person who respects other’s right to exist and live, or you aren’t. If you don’t then I have no space in my life for you.

Who are YOU going to call?

Hey, Canada, I 🩷 you. Thank you for today's snack! And yes, if there isn't a local source, I am seeking out Canadian goods... they've been excellent neighbors, of course I support them in whatever small ways I can!

I truly hope that one silver lining we take from this coup is that voters begin to understand that when you vote for president, you’re not just selecting one person. You’re selecting all the judges they’ll appoint, and the entire cabinet.

This!

Where my Gen X'ers at

Imagine a world where nations help instead of trying to occupy each other. We would all be residents of our tiny Earth in this endless universe. There would be no foreigners anymore. Think of the joy and belonging that would spread everywhere. 🌟 (Share stories that help people find commonality)

We've been saving this little pup for when we thought you all might really need a gold star. And, given the current circumstances, here she is. 13/10

I just found out the proper name for doggo zoomies is Frenetic Random Activity Periods, or FRAPS. I don’t know how to live with this knowledge.

I love how coffee tricks me into thinking im in a good mood for about 30 minutes.

I've been vacillating between malaise, rage, ennui, and despair for weeks now, and I am just done in... something needs to let up somewhere because this may break me otherwise. I am both physically and mentally exhausted.

Starting another watch-through of The West Wing. Using it as a political soul bandage.

Encyclopædia Britannica will continue to use ‘Gulf of Mexico’ for a few reasons: -We serve an international audience, a majority of which is outside the U.S. -The Gulf of Mexico is an international body of water, and the U.S.’s authority to rename it is ambiguous. 🧵⬇️

Emotional support beverages... Adulting sucks.
