You are a unique organism that has literally never existed before.

It makes sense that you don’t have all the answers. And that some of the answers that exist … don’t fit.

Shoutouts to everyone whose answer to, "What is to be done with this invasive species?" is, "Garlic and/or butter."

Did I just argue with a joke? Part of a Bluesky educational series

Pie chart showing that 1 in 5 incarcerated people is locked up for a drug offense

This 4/20, we're thinking of the horrific impact that the U.S.'s war on drugs had on vulnerable communities.

Today, drug offenses still account for the incarceration of over 360,000 people, and drug convictions remain a defining feature of the federal prison system.

The fact that the strait was reopen on Friday and literally everyone together said "yeah this ain't gonna stick" and sure enough it didn't is really bad. I don't like that "gruesome greed that trades human lives and decades of future suffering for capital gain" has become business as usual

I do think that Black men mental health needs to be talked about more…not as a reaction to something tragic but prevention and open conversations on a regular basis…

Has anyone pointed out the fact that this guy is not only an absolute idiot, but he’s also reading from a speech text that he was too lazy to review beforehand?

Substack’s Algorithm Accidentally Reveals What We Already Knew: It’s The Nazi Bar Now

Back in April 2023, when Substack CEO Chris Best refused to answer basic questions about whether his platform would allow racist content, I noted that his evasiveness was essentially hanging out a "Nazis Welcome"…

I across the board hate stan culture of politicians.

Since Dave is trending, I do wanna reshare this great piece of investigative work by Michael Hobbes, that goes into what actually happened with Daphne Dornan, the trans woman whose suicide Dave explicitly exploited to push hate speech. Dave is such a POS.

“I stand with my brother in Christ, His Holiness Pope Leo XIV, in his courageous call for a kingdom of peace. “As innocent people are killed and displaced, families torn apart, and futures destroyed, the human cost of war is incalculable. It is the calling of every Christian - and of all people of faith and goodwill - to work and pray for peace. We must also urge all those entrusted with political authority to pursue every possible peaceful and just means of resolving conflict.” The Most Reverend Dame Sarah Mullally Archbishop of Canterbury

I think a lot about how the percentage of American men not reading is less because there aren't books that could appeal to men (duh), and more that genuinely dark forces have worked to suck all of their attention towards self-destruction.

The kids at Coachella are calling the variations of Covid they are passing around the “Coachella flu” again.

Here she is at the March on Washington wearing her Resistance medals, incredible flex

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.

Opinion | Artemis II Crew Brought a Human Eye to Photos Christye Sisson writes about how photos taken by the Artemis II crew demonstrate the value of human photography.

OPINION: "In an era when image authenticity is often questioned and with the capabilities of autonomous, AI-driven imaging, NASA’s choice to train astronauts in photography has placed meaning over convenience and prioritized their human perspectives and creativity," Sisson writes.

Freud was a pervert and a hack, idc!

Being SEEN for the first time is scary AF. because you’re used to being able to hide in plain sight.

And then you realize someone can see through all the mess… straight to you.

And that part of you isn’t used to being observed.

The push for institutional neutrality, like the so-called “free-speech crisis,” was always a right wing ploy to get universities to stop pointing out obvious things like “fascists are ascendant” and “racism is bad.”

It is sad that so many university “leaders” took the bait.

Former TIME editor Richard Stengel: “He is repeating every foreign and domestic policy mistake the US has made over the last 5 decades, but he’s doing it with a gracelessness, cluelessness, and corruption that has no precedent.”
