with the lights out
it’s less dangerous
from the icebox
plums cry “save us”
“we’re for breakfast”
“please don’t take us”
but we ate them
we feel heinous
they were tasty
please don’t blame us
gerrymandering is woke now, actually she changed her name to gina. it's ginamandering now.

After seeing the Earth from the moon, Neil Armstrong said it changed his perception of humanity. Before there were arbitrary divisions and strife, but afterwards he only saw one people, all losers who hadn't been on the moon ever.
This story is crazy! The Jim Dolan had a Knicks fan obsessively monitored at games just because she was trans.
sick of these catholic converts showing up and saying "well I have a different interpretation of the scripture" no you don't. that's protestantism and a heresy. don't like it there's the (incredibly beautiful and heavily ornamented with precious metals) door
Oh you want to make more money than that? And you want to work a job with excitement and danger? How about $200k a year, with 3 months off, and you get to use a chainsaw?
Statistically, being a cop is not dangerous.
Stats say being in the military is not dangerous either.
This is dangerous.🧗🏿♂️🪓
New York Times headline today reads: "White House Seeks $1.5 Trillion for Defense in New Budget Request The huge proposed increase would be partly offset by steep cuts to domestic programs, some of which the Trump administration describes as wasteful."

A screenshot of two tweets by Representative Nancy Mace. The first, published at 8:02AM today, reads: "To anyone celebrating "Trans Day of Visibility" today, we sincerely hope you get the help you need." The second, published at 9:06 AM reads: "The media wants to talk about Bryon and Kristi Noem's personal drama and indiscretions. I want to talk about who is getting deported, who got paid, and who's stealing from taxpayers. Different priorities. Let's focus on what matters."
"trans ideology is a sickness."

"people's personal affairs are none of our business and we should talk about immigration"
The Department of State tweets a video of Secretary Marco Rubio. In the video, Rubio says: "Imagine if instead of spending billions of dollars supporting terrorists or weapons, Iran had spent that money helping the people of Iran. They would have a much different country."
FactPost News tweets a video of Donald Trump speaking at a podium. In the video he says: "We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things."
hmm
Yes, Dune! Dune! Dune!
You’re a better man than I am, Duney Dune!
A trans friend is shopping for women’s clothes for the first time and brought me along for moral support.
HER: This is much more stressful than I thought it would be.
ME: It will get easier. Though shopping as a girl is always hard. You either learn to love the pain—
CLERK: *snort-laughs*
I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.
I have a little story out in HAD today, about the logistics of giving up your SaaS sales career to try your hand as a Siren in the age of noise-cancelling Bluetooth technology

if the phrase "nitrogen fixing" means nothing to you, I promise you are wildly overestimating how well you'll do in a post-apocalypse
Yes! John Brown and Jayhawks stole from slave owners.
If you thought it was OK to steal Black people from Africa and keep them as slaves? Then they thought it was OK to steal them from you and set them free, and to steal all your other stuff and keep it.
If you didn't like it? They took you out.
Challenge for people who believe Claude *is* conscious and use it anyway: Explain how you’re not a slaver.

The sentence "Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow" written in Calibri in all lower-case, first in regular typeface and second in italics. In the regular typeface, the A and G are both double-decker, while in the italic typeface, they are single-decker.
how is it that I never noticed that Calibri changes the letterforms of the lowercase "a" and "g" when italicized

If a trans person were caught jaywalking Republicans would be ranting about it every chance they got, meanwhile a trans person JUMPED INTO LAKE MICHIGAN IN THE WINTER AND RESCUED A STRANGER’S BABY and it’s crickets.
I can recommend both the documentary
"Edgeplay: A Film About the Runaways"
and the romanticized bio-fiction "The Runaways"
(with Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning).
I would watch the documentary first.
Somehow I completely missed out on The Runaways. I had never heard of them until years after they disbanded.
I saw Joan once, at Hammerjacks in Baltimore. They were promoting the Up Your Alley album.
It was a great show.
Actually twice, because I saw her sing the national anthem at an Orioles game.
because if there’s one thing I know about men, it’s that they crave full-time child-rearing responsibilities without even getting to have sex first
