Barnes and Noble still has cds! FYE might if they still exist? Maybe??

Bookshop dot org for books!

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

President, Extremely Normal Brain-Wise: Pope Weak on Crime, Also I’m Dr. Jesus Christ

When I had an android for 6 months, I could set my music app as the only app that had access to play sound. My MacBook lets me do this. WHY DOESN’T MY IPHONE?

My kingdom for a way to make my iPhone mute ALL SOUND from specific apps

Sometimes talking a bit of shit in the sunshine really does wonders for the soul.

birdsrightsactivist has painted human babies and hidden them in the shrubbery.

I will never think of Elon Musk as anything other than a mass murderer for the USAID cuts. I’ve long felt he’s one of the most villainous people alive today, the real-life equivalent of a comically annoying and cruel supervillain

Me: I wonder why my body is always in fight or flight on April 1

My body: *plays a constant loop of my classmates, peers, and their parents snickering behind my back*

Does April Fools Day stress you out and make you feel like you’re constantly out of the loop and about to be the butt if a joke?

Congrats! Now you know how it feels to be an undiagnosed autistic kid desperately trying to understand social rules. Welcome to every day of 25 years of my life!

Say, what’s your interests? Tell me how you plan to give up on all of them.

The Springtime Brain longs for mess

My garlic is sprouting, my dog gets to lay in the sun, my kid writes his dates like he’s British, and I finally get to paint my shelves. I love spring. ☀️

primary use cases for AI, an ongoing list:
- pornslop
- academic fraud
- eroding our collective sense of truth
- cyberpsychosis
- dementia acceleration
- fucking a jagged hole through the arts
- search engine enshittification
- fascist panopticon
- anti-intellectualism
- war crimes

This is like when I worked in child welfare and everyone said I should watch Shameless.

There’s something kind of endearing about a man who manages to make an occasional spelling error in the age of autocorrect.

A member of ACT UP said that during the peak years of the AIDS crisis in the 1980s: “We went to funerals and buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and then fucked danced and partied all night.”

Because the world is on fire, it’s on us to live out loud. We need to do it all.

Currently using both nasal spray and eye drops for my allergies. The bottles are the same size. The sleepy morning mix-up feels almost inevitable.

This is bullshit, and by “this,” I mean, everything

One of the only “special” things I wanted from my grandma Baker was her hummingbird feeder.

It broke in two at some point this winter.

I don’t need a billion or even a million dollars. The exact level of wealth I want to have is one where I can just say “don’t sweat it, it’s on me” to friend-debts under $100.

I hate when I offer to temporarily Cover A Thing I can’t afford in good faith that I’ll be paid back before my credit card payment is due, and then instead of getting paid back I just get vaguer and vaguer excuses.

These are the 4 things AI can do well:

•Clean up your email inbox (badly)
•Give my shittiest neighbor (Alan) something to talk about at a party
•Tell a 12 yr old to kill himself
•Incinerate a school at 10:16 AM on a Tuesday

You can see why we need to base our economy around it

Cannot wrap my mind around the fact that it’s already time to think about my garden again.

really fuckin hate when my disabilities disable me

Every anti-vaxxer I encounter seems to love weird unregulated supplements. They hate Big Pharma but they love Little Pharma, Big Pharma’s younger sibling who grew up without any adult supervision.

The whole “false allegations ruin lives” narrative has always upset me so much because it is sexual violence that ruins far more lives, but people care far more about the 2 to 5 percent of false accusations than we do about the 1 in 4 women and the 1 in 6 children who experience sexual violence.

After sexual violence, it's victims who get punished the most. Victims who lose their jobs and have to leave their industries. Victims who lose their friends and support systems. Victims who lose their health and sanity. Perpetrators might lie low, sometimes, before being handed it all back.
