Infowars/Onion combo logo in rainbow saying “I support the onion’s hostile media takeover.”

It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.

a great way to have an ounce of agency within this nightmare scenario? wear a mask in public indoor spaces. that’s it. really. it works.

I’m *really* bummed out. So tired of being violated by right-wing governments. So tired of big tech. So tired of having no hope. I realize I’m exceedingly lucky; I have a job and can afford to live, but it’s all while knowing we’re on a collision course with our own stupidity.

I pay every penny I owe in taxes, but I must say that this year really felt like a gut-punch on account of all the illegal shit that the federal government is doing with our hard-earned money

Is there any good articles/essays analyzing For All Mankind season 4's depiction of strikes and labor movements? I'm working on a piece and want to see other folks writing on that topic.

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.

America's money goes to Hungary. To Argentina. To fund wars in Iran and invasions of Venezuela.

It goes to kill shipwrecked survivors. To ICE, who shoot US citizens and build concentration camps

Our money seems to fund death and destruction all across the globe

But it never goes to help Americans

LOL, trying to stay offline and do my work, and friends are sending me

"LOOK AT THIS NEW PIC!" texts ....

This one is worth it.

First PoC and first woman to go around another world. Don't stop talking about this point. It's important.

Splashdown! Vehicle is stable and upright. “A perfect bulls-eye splash for Integrity and its four astronauts!” #Artemis

"sex doesn't belong in YA books"

Listen, I learned more about birth control, menstruation, and how to get and give consent to different acts from Tamora Pierce books than I did from my school. There's a huge difference between smut and showing teens what healthy sexuality is.

I wrote and posted this to Instagram a couple of days ago and it became my most-read poem ever. I’m honored I get to feel big feelings alongside you all. I’m posting it here too and want to use this space more consistently. Hello friends ❤️

I’ll be fine whatever happens. It will be fine. But good lord why did I think librarianship was a safe, stable career to go into?? (Answer: I picked it in 2007 and the world was very different then)

There are a lot of rumors about layoffs at work happening on Friday and let me tell you, as much as I keep pretending to be easy breezy about enjoying this job while it lasts I am VERY anxious at the possibility of getting laid off.

It sucks so much to always have to be the lone mood killer warning people about rabies and bird flu and Covid.

How it feels doing literally any task right now.

"Why don't Americans-" The ruling class of America has intentionally disempowered its citizens spread across 3,000+ miles of land and then funded the police force as an occupying army that happily murders anyone who opposes them and imprisons whoever is left as slave laborers. So phone calls it is

Like… We cannot go ahead and have the World Cup now like nothing is going on. Regardless of what does or doesn’t happen tonight. Countries should simply refuse to send teams. The rest of the world cannot treat us as a remotely normal country after this

Just because a President announces he’s agreed to a two week ceasefire moments before he threatened to commit war crimes, does not mean he is suddenly fit to serve. #25thAmendment

Man, I just want to post about Star Trek and the Moon, not grapple with apocalyptic dread.

I thought I was sick of the thought of space travel.

Turned out I was really sick of billionnaire vanity projects.

What NASA's doing is incredible and has got me excited about space exploration again.

I'm here teaching my kid how to eat fun dip while wondering if our president is going to obliterate children in another country who won't ever get the chance to do the same.

WE AREN'T MEANT TO LIVE LIKE THIS.

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail.

Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

Earth appearing as a bright crescent behind the Moon’s surface

OH. MY. GOD.

THIS IS THE EARTHSET PHOTO FROM ARTEMIS II. IM SPEECHLESS.

just to be clear, everyone, when 8 pm EDT comes and goes, regardless of what does or does not happen, the president still threatened genocide and war crimes and we should still impeach, arrest, and try him

Crying about the beautiful moon then crying more thinking about all the other people crying about the moon. Humanity is sometimes wonderful.

During this incredible, unifying moment of inspiring international cooperation and spectacular technological achievement, I would really appreciate it if the US president would stop threatening to murder an entire country with bombs.

i can't help but note, as i listen to the NASA livestream, that all the most meaningful parts of the artemis mission are the human ones. nothing artificial can top organic intelligence, and all that blooms from our connections.

Anyone else just keep crying over that spaceship and those astronauts? I cannot keep it together.

NASA isn't why the US doesn't have universal healthcare, or a social safety net. The US doesn't have those things because politicians with the power to provide them choose specifically not to (with varying levels of support from voters). Enthusiasm for human spaceflight doesn't drive that choice.
