If someone really cares about you, they will care about the impact their behavior has on you.
And that's why I am no contact with my parents. They rarely, if ever, cared that something they did was upsetting or hurtful to me. Every "apology" was ultimately blaming me for having a problem.
BREAKING: Elon Musk Causes Panic For Federal Employees. I need your help to spread this everywhere because if people don't read Elon's Twitter, they may not be aware. open.substack.com/pub/aaronpar...
"Why are Americans so unhealthy and sad? Hmm, it must be the antidepressants. Anyway, let’s increase the retirement age and reduce social safety nets and increase the length of the workweek and remove any possibility for most people to buy a home"
Really trying not to freak out, but I really don't like the person I am when I can't have my meds.
I work for a Danish company, and honestly their culture leaking into ours would make us all better off. This is about the only way I'd be willing to move to Cali. - What happens when a small country decides to play Monopoly... with an ENTIRE US state?: denmarkification.com?utm=.share.b...
How is this NOT from the Onion. 🤦🏼♀️🤬
Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history.
I am incandescent with rage.
Honestly this should go for all birds on the NA continent at this point. Better safe than sorry.
In this time of chaos and awful news, it has been a balm to my soul to share my love of Stardew Valley with Quela. @concernedape.bsky.social thank you for making and frequently updating this cozy game.
It’s the job of every congressional democrat to grind the gears of government to a stop.
Right now. Block everything. Slow walk every committee. Call every vote. Filibuster every post office name change.
State Dems need to build parallel institutions to protect the people at home. GET TO WORK.
Grief is a weird thing. Watching an old EP of Last Week Tonight and saw someone holding up a Trumpy Bear in the crowd. Cue flashing back to seeing one in my aunt and uncle's living room, and mourning my aunt and who she was before the Trump cult caught her and my uncle.
Are the next 4 years really going to be logging on everyday to sentences like "a 19 year old doge intern called Big Balls has your social security number" because I'm already at capacity for this sort of thing
At OPM, Musk’s staffers won’t leave—they work around the clock and have even installed sofa beds in the office. Our access to data systems has been restricted, raising serious concerns about cybersecurity and a complete lack of oversight. We are keeping our heads down and documenting everything.

This is Orion, my eepy tabby boy. He's an absolute cuddle bug 💜

Elon Musk now has access to your Social Security number. The world’s richest man has gained access to the confidential personal information of every taxpayer in the United States.
Great news source if you're looking for a techie leftist perspective. He legit does his research too, and is just generally a decent human being.
Getting so many more people subscribing to my abandoned Substack and I can’t even log in to post a thing to point them to the right place 😵💫
Still trying to get back in to that account to shut it down, but again for good measure, my actual newsletter is at https://skh.news — and is free!
What on earth is he suing them for? Hurting his wittle feelings?
Y'know, out of all the genres of fiction I've always wanted to live in, I can't recall ever having "dystopia novel used as cautionary tale in English Lit classes" on that list.
Unless of course you're trans, in which case don't file anything, cause it might get held or weaponized against you. 😭
"Hey, if a dwarf gets lycanthropy, does it turn into a were-corgi?" A reasonable question that the DM did not see fit to answer.
Wishing you and your doggo the best 💜
It feels like this month has lasted 10,000 years, honestly.
Since tariffs are a tax on U.S. importers, why do we permit the President to impose them unilaterally without authorization from Congress?
Asking for a nation.
Trans lives are valid and will be valid every day regardless of how many bullshit documents some dying old fuck signs with his greasy fingers and beshitted pants.
Honestly, at this point, you're right to hate us. A lot of us hate it here but can't leave for one reason or another. I would LOVE to be able to pay more attention to the rest of the world. US news just feels like a survival need, and it blots out everything else. And I suppose that's by design. 😭
Labeling Gender Affirming Care, for people of ANY age, as chemical and surgical mutilation is a deliberate attempt to distance GAC from what is actually is:
Life saving medicine.
The pep talk we need! :)
I decided to no longer call tasks “tasks”, and instead refer to them as “hot girl shit” and it’s worked surprisingly well.
*drinks water* “thats hot girl shit”
*empties dishwasher* “that’s hot girl shit”
*makes an appointment* “HOT👏GIRL👏SHIT👏”
