Yes

No wonder the (free) world hates America.

This is extremely relatable 🍨

Young adult happiness is falling. Percent of young people who are pretty or very happy has dropped from 88% to 76% over the last 15 years after having held fairly steady between 1980 and 2010

My hottest “I have no data to back this up” take is that phones aren’t making young people less happy. What’s making them less happy is living in a world where everyone is having their reality defined by recommendation algorithms that can only care about whether something keeps you watching.

Greta Thunberg "WTF is anyone even doing at this point, we have normalized Genocide and the eradication of an entire people."

Greta is right as usual.

Spoiler alert, many did: ballotpedia.org/How_senators...

I'm gonna say that senators and representatives posting on social media that the madness has to stop is pretty weak sauce. These are people who, unlike the rest of us, can actually DO something to stop the madness. So maybe put down your phones and get to work?

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia college showing Charlie's favorite hobby is magnets. Not making them, collecting them, or anything else. Just magnets.

Day job and life has gotten in the way of progress, but a little further 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm not claiming to be a hero, but with every Cadbury MiniEgg I eat, that's a dog not getting chocolate poisoning.

I've saved so many dogs.

Totally understand that, just would love to have a better choice in 28 than the past 3! 🙃 Unfortunately my vote in MA doesn't count for much in that particular contest (though thankfully is a state I don't have to worry about causing an electoral problem either)

This is so real

So sorry for your loss 💔💔💔

Sure, but the current pattern is Democratic presidents moving right, not Republican presidents moving left. At all. The broad "compromise" goes in one direction and has made things worse in the past 2 decades (at the VERY least)

I can't speak for anyone else, but have had eyes on Palestine since 2004 (in college). Moderate Dems continuing to campaign on abortion rights they were never actually going to protect is as much a soap box. Genuine care is hard to trust in most politicians because of the $$$ required to run

I would love to see the DNC STFU and get out of the way. The left-er Pres candidate will be called socialist regardless, so can we elect an actual one, please? 🙌🏼 We absolutely need to focus more on what we can do in local and state elections (and stay engaged with their policies as officials) too.

Is it like The Brave Little Toaster?? Because I've been chasing that precious vibe since I was a kid

Biden did shit for trans people other than saying he "has their back." I'm not saying things aren't worse; I'm just not into romanticizing "less" bad.

Look up deportations under Biden. Spoiler alert, it was a fuck ton. Now there is just more coverage and pomp and circus to it. I'm both queer and a teacher to the most vulnerable students in my community.

No earlier in the thread, not yours!

Um talk to someone in Gaza about that

That's...upsetting

I'm so so sorry for your loss 💔😭

Maybe if you weren't trans or didn't live in Gaza

Please don't pretend he was a good leader. He was a better leader than our current one, but still extremely flawed, and extremely complicit in genocide

I would like to be at a point where I genuinely do not miss his presidency, and am presented with a better option

Absolutely devoured Cinder House this weekend, picked up on a whim (and description I would do just that) at @portersqbooks.bsky.social #booksky
