It’s very misogyny that our men’s hockey team has been mid forever and wins once and everyone freaks out about it vs our dominant women’s hockey team that keeps winning
I usually don’t like band things either, and it had some fun soapy elements but the characters are insanely dull and I don’t care a lick about their drama
I’ve been reading the manga series nana and it’s mega popular but I’m 10 volumes in and it’s ungodly boring
MY HUSBAND IS UNEMPLOYED CAN SOMEONE HOOK HIM UP WITH A PAID PROTESTER JOB!!??? WHY CONSERVATIVES ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT THEM AND NEVER HOOKING IT UP
Many TikTok users recently reported problems uploading videos, sudden drops to zero views, or posts getting stuck “under review.” Almost all of those complaints involved videos criticizing ICE or discussing the murder of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis.
Like I said, they're running this like a hostile takeover by a private equity firm.
Okayyyy so are we doing foreign wars or not? Can we go help Ukraine now???
I don’t know why trans YA horror specifically is weenieville but it’s a bummer because I’ve loved some ideas and my passion for adult trans horror is enormous- like probably one of my favorite subgenres
And I specify this because I feel like there is a lot of young adult non trans horror that transcends - and a lot of adult non trans horror that is dumber than it should be.
There is a frustratingly tender element to young adult trans horror that I am finding I just do not like. Adult trans horror just feels like it respects your intelligence and a lot of the YA stuff feels corny
I’m reading a lot of transgender horror right now, and the difference between the adult and young adult is really significant. When I’m reading adults trans Horror it was feel so brilliant and profound. When I’m reading YA trans horror it’s an inescapable cycle of weenie protagonists
I’ll be buying, I’m just an e book owner as of now. Absolutely incredible to see how far your baby flew.
Not shocked to see @ophallic.bsky.social s the poisoner getting tradepubed
Bring it nationwide baby
I’m just trying to get some primary healthcare right now and I’m incredibly confused about why it’s so hard.
“But if we do universal healthcare it will take forever to see a doctor”
My gastro needed to be booked out 6 months in advance. My primary care is 3 months out as a new patient lol
My political stance is that Zelensky should be able to punch any head of state he meets in the face, and if that increases his approval rating among that country's people, that head of state must apologize
Btw most fiction is written for women, woman absolutely dominate fiction reading- it’s just that there are some particular genres known for producing low effort AI adjacent slop and really only ONE genre where the fans try to use social justice to defend having questionable taste
In the discourse of “trashy” books and “what counts” I wish we could embrace the moderate opinion of “everything is reading and reading is good but a lot of them damn books aren’t well written and are actually trash and not just because they are written for women and we should demand better”
i love furniture restoration videos because they show how quality is important and you can get some really beautiful, overlooked furniture if you learn certain skills

Hot take
Callum is by far the best character
All of the other characters are also very cool
Nico was my least favorite of the 6, just didn’t grip me the same way
I enjoyed all of the romances
I don’t care about the non 6 people
After literal years I’m reading this. The characters are fucking excellent
I’m reading old manga again and it’s shocking how many ships I’ve changed my mind about or gone to the other side of love triangles on
Make sure to delete Nicki Minaj from all of your playlists
Apologetically pulled out after pressure. She followed up with “I’d love to to go Dubai after the boycott” like damn anti colonial queen you are quick to mourn not heading to a country packed to the brim with slaves
RFK always proving me right
