@opalapparition.bsky.social THANK YOU FOR YOUR AMAZING WORK. I’m so glad I found you here so I can tell you what a fantastic writer you are and how much I’m enjoying Wolfbird. Than you.

Everyone needs to stop what they’re doing and watch this video.

“It seems like there’s a lack of diversity here today, and it’s mostly people who look like you and me, and I just…?”

Why is every dining table I find remotely acceptable literally $1000

There's a long, bad journalistic tradition: All conservative grass-roots political movements are fascinating heartland phenomena, all progressive grass-roots political movements are ineffectual bleating. This one is written off as powered by white female college grads--the wine-moms slur, basically.

God took a 20% cut of his lifespan

I know I’m olde as hell because the court clerks are starting to look like zygotes.

It is *fascinating* to me how quickly some people have gone completely from “we all must work in the office! human collaboration is vital and only happens in person!” to “I can replace all these pesky people with chatbots!” Definitely some commentary there about our society and who gets to choose.

two DUMB bitches, lol

I Watched 6 Hours of DOGE Bro Testimony. Here's What They Had to Say For Themselves The hours of videos provide fascinating, or perhaps horrifying, insight into the thinking of someone inside DOGE.

I have watched 6 hours of a DOGE bro deposition. The whole thing, start to finish. It's a fascinating, and horrifying, look at the people who caused so much damage, didn't really achieve anything at all, while still being so sure they are right. Here's what they said: www.404media.co/i-watched-6-...

"There were no books."

THROW HIM INTO THE FUCKING SUN.

Boycott Starbucks

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.

We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

Don't believe the lying-ass paid promotions disguised as "news articles" that claim the organizers of the Target boycott have called it off.

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

ICE has arrested and detained a Nashville journalist who reported stories critical of ICE. She’s married to a U.S. citizen and has been seeking asylum here after fleeing death threats in Colombia because of her journalism there.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

Ao3 going down is how the revolution starts.

Not that Connor Storrie and Hudson Williams need more pressure in their lives, but they have to know they are literally the only good thing in the world right now? Like, normally I’d be doomsday prepping but instead I’m being charmed by 2 boys living their dreams on the edge of the apocalypse.

Again, it is interesting that a single generation was entrusted with the richest, most advanced empire the world had ever known and was just uninterested in keeping it going

True but we can get a long way on this if we throw the private prison CEOs in the slammer and fine them into poverty.

We can offer the workers jobs in a WPA-like program too.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

I wish I could explain the high I get from the moral superiority I feel when I take the bus to court in LA. #notraffic #no20dollarparking #theonlywayIcanrelaxinavehicle #passengerprincessbutonlyonthebus

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude

Doña Gagá

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

I think when Death Cab for Cutie becomes your cardio music it’s probably time to increase your Lexapro dose.
