Got another $100, thank you so much! Cat’s apartment fund is at $595 of $3k now. Please keep sharing and give if you can!

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

My cousin Shawn took weed to impress a girl when we were teenagers and his asshole & penis switched places. All the doctors at the (real) Pitt threw up when they saw it. Be my guest and Get “high” if you want this to happen to you

I think the new infowars should continue with conspiracy content, but with the real shit. The assassination of Patrice Lumumba. FBI involvement in white supremacist terrorism in the Civil Rights Era. All the Delta Force stuff Courtney Williams just went to jail for divulging.

Last night as I was drifting off I had the thought "Oh no, I can't water my plants tomorrow if I'm observing Sabbath!"

Friends, I am not Jewish, I have never been Jewish, and resting on Sabbath is not a part of my routine. I also don't know for sure that watering houseplants wouldn't be allowed. ??

Me to 3yo: What do you want for your birthday party theme?

3yo: “Poopoo & peepee theme! We can get apple juice for the pee, so a skeleton pees and you drink the skeleton pee but it’s okay because it’s juice”

Me: ..K I was thinking like “dinosaurs” but let’s put a pin in “piss fountain of the dead”

it’s all happening

Every day a different billionaire says the most horrific movie villain thing you've ever heard but this guy and a grandpa from Vermont are the scary ones because they want to tax them

Reading this on the sittie shittie

SOS! Our kid, who is a trans refugee who fled our state to Oregon, has been living with their partner in a motel for the past year. Now the motel is giving them 28 days to vacate and they desperately need help with a deposit on an apartment. $2k goal. Please help and share widely!

Well I’m glad to see someone at blue sky HQ finally took my advice and got rid of this website’s most controversial feature: the posts

“Give Me This”
— Ada Limón

Asked by a reader to describe what suffering is, Limón instead finds joy in watching a groundhog feast on her unripe tomatoes.

BRB gotta daydream about becoming a Europasaurus rancher

"irreversible side effects of HRT" all of life is irreversible. i cannot go back a single second in time

Poem - 'Essay on Craft' by Ocean Voung

Not a traditional Ars Poetica, more a manifesto of what a poem costs & requires

Not defining poetry, rather showing its conditions, how it is shaped by labour, love, and pain.

A responsibility to what it carries and what it cannot fully hold.

Screens do not belong in cars

Like. I will make an exception for a GPS thing. That's it.

I want my tactile buttons that let me change my goddamn radio station without taking my eyes off the road.

submerging in a peat bog for 1000 years would fix me

Playing football has worse irreversible side-effects for practically no gain but everyone is telling their teens to try for it

“The Thing Is”
— Ellen Bass

“Hold life like a face between your palms…”

“i hope you meet jd vance” is about to become an actionable threat

THE TRANS AGENDA IS TO KEEP MY F*CKING FRIENDS ALIVE by sol rios At 2pm and 2am. Sleep, I remember you. Please, wait for me. I send out 7 reminders to eat a day. Like little paper lifeboats. It's nothing. And it keeps me afloat. I forget to eat too. I need company for my shot. .3ml of Estradiol over facetime. I tell my friend I'm being a baby about it, she says woman up. Daylight savings swallows up the hour in question. 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘵𝘶𝘣 𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘥. And I need you to keep you alive for me. Just until Thursday. Just through to 6 am. I can send you 14 dollars for soup. I can lend you my ears. You'll need both hands to hold a heart. Your razor clinking against the counter. In a dream I almost slip into, I reach through the phone and hide the blade in my open palm, before you notice. Text me, I say. In the morning. I love you. I need you alive. We can figure out the rest tomorrow. With or without sleep. With or without the light of the morning.

A break from my usual antics? I was recently reminded of this poem by @pigeonculttt.bsky.social. I love it so much and it absolutely wrecks me every time I read it ❤️‍🩹😭

Orban was a cornerstone of the international anti-trans movements. Hungarian trans people were among the early targets of his authoritarian regime.

It'll take a long time to come back from it all but I hope Hungarian trans people sleep slightly better tonight.

*mutter* That annoying discovery that one of your own character would be tapping his foot and looking down his mask at you.

"The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same."

-Marjane Satrapi

i think we should be clear that just because the astronauts did not immediately declare the moon haunted, does not mean it is not haunted

it may mean that the astronauts are now themselves haunted

have we prepared for this eventuality and if so how

reminder: if you ever see somebody stealing food, no the fuck you didnt.

I've often seen people argue that no one wants to rent and renting is inherently oppressive. I once moved 23 times in 11 years, I've never had to shovel snow or deal with a bad foundation or leaky roof. I love renting. I hate housing prices.

QUESTION:

Who knows of ANY research funding for US humanities scholars that has been awarded to a trans project in the past year?

Not saying that the awarding org *claims* to be open to those projects.

But actually *awarding* anything.

Please repost for visibility, it'd help me a lot!
