One of the scariest aspects of the Trump administration is that they continue to make us vulnerable to an ever lengthening list of disasters that haven't happened yet but eventually will.

if u think about it a roast beef with au jus is like participating in blood play with ur sandwich

Post from r/crochet that says "mods are gone. All hail Mr. Nipples" and its a picture of the most disgusting crocheted doll/creature thats pink and has a creepy smile and horns and big pink nipples. It's truly horrifying

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

Importantly, this wouldn't have passed without Dem support. There was enough of a split within Republican ranks that if Dems had voted against the bill it would've been doa. Giving Trump a blank check to warmonger *and* passing an anti-trans measure was a choice.

So like, those two guys from Texas who wanted to take over a Haitian island, I know where it came from but the heck did they expect that to go down?

bow before your fucking queen.

Trans women are predatory? That’s fine I have a prey kink. Hey actually, could you give them my number? Thanks.

I wonder what Anne Frank was thinking about when she said "terrible things are happening outside"

Do you think optional ethnicity is the key to dismantling whiteness?

Judith Butler: “The consequences of this compliance could be really terrible for a lot of people’s lives, most of whom are much more vulnerable than I am...They can suffer a lot of things, especially the international students, including deportation, expulsion, job loss, harassment, surveillance.”

UC Berkeley shares 160 names with Trump administration in ‘McCarthy era’ move Prominent professor Judith Butler among students and faculty investigated for ‘alleged antisemitic incidents’

UC Berkeley betrayed their own faculty, including Jewish academics like Judith Butler, to the Trump administration

STRANGE NEW WORLDS

TOS has queer vibes and I'd say that's mostly because nobody had a clear enough sense of what those were to remove them. ENT uncomfortably ignores anything deviant, but by doing so, it draws attention to it. SNW believes all deviance can be recuperated for the empire

I remain amazed at how many people just totally ignore the fact that LLMs constantly make shit up until the exact moment it bites them in the ass

i mean yes but also just as an aside, new york city has been shaped and reshaped by successive waves of immigrants for like 200 years! it's kind of our thing! we have a big statue about it!

Bane did nothing wrong Hollywood just needed to make him look crazy to get their pentagon money

terrible news. i have just noticed that the carfax car fox has human teeth

People in wheelchairs are getting arrested right now in the Russell Senate Office Building in DC. They showed up to tell Congress not to cut their Medicaid, because they cant afford health care without it. If you look closely you can see the zip ties on their hands. #WeWontGetOverLosingMedicaid

Would be cool if it were true

This book is riveting and so, so infuriating. It follows 5 families in Atlanta who are struggling to remain housed and paints deeply compassionate portraits of each unit. It reads almost like a novel but is outstanding journalism

👏👏If your AG has a name it's a bad idea

we’ve got a bunch of parents voluntarily guarding the elementary school gates if you want to know how LA feels this morning
