I've studied so many concentration camps through history that held vulnerable people in just this kind of crowded squalor. You demonize people, you demand more arrests, this is what you get. It already has its own budget and its own momentum, and is on track to go much further, unless we stop it.
HAPPY TASKMASTER PREMIERE DAY TO ALL WHO CELEBRATE
NOW: B52 bombers are literally in the air on their way to Iran and hundreds of thousands of Iranians are in the streets waving flags and surrounding bridges & power plants.
Difficult to imagine this has any precedent in modern warfare.
(🎥 Al Jazeera)
They killed nearly 200 children on the first day of this war and no one of authority suffered a single consequence. That’s how we got here.
Trying to make and effort to join a local queer book club. But they keep choosing very sad books. This month is Song of Achilles and I don't think I can continue as they head off to this stupid stupid war.
Where is the book club for Heated Rivalry fanfic? that's about where I am, emotionally.
A line of Ramona Quimby, a young girl with a choppy bob cut. She has a furious frown. The text, by Beverly Cleary, reads: "I am too a Merry Sunshine," insisted Ramona, but she got down from the table and ran out of the room.
finding joy despite the world in 2025 is like this lol
it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish
85 schoolgirls. just one is a world, a future of infinite possibilities, a universe. that america has done this atrocity to 85 of them, that it will continue to do even worse... i don't even know what to say. i condemn this with every fiber of my being, but that doesn't feel like enough.
when i say bring that baby home i mean EVERY BABY
I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:
"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."
With alt text:
A lot of people don't understand how the 2A supporters are so okay with this, and the answer (as brilliantly explained by Carol Anderson in her book "The Second" ) is that the 2A has never been about protecting everyone's right to bear arms, but rather protecting white people's property USING guns.
“There is no remedy but abolition.”
Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.
I don't mean to get earnest on main but
I've watched so many shot for shot breakdowns of this show and a very simple reason in addition to everything Tal laid out is the show took the source material seriously.
And so much stuff that takes romance and puts it on screen doesn't
one thing thats nice about getting through the existential tailspin and dread generative ai puts everyone through eventually is youll see other people finally go through it and think "ah yes more soldiers for the army, excellent"
I want to do something productive tonight. But then also I just want to continue my re-read of Heated Rivalry. Decisions.
yess- but it's been a few years. And the last one wasn't out- must embark on a re-read. But the show is just so much better than I ever expect from an adaptation!😍
Obsessed with the hockey boys. There are not enough episodes of the hockey boys 😭
As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.
Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous
Feeling sick about not having ACA option. My current day job is very likely to last a few more months. And it feels even more unlikely that I’ll ever be able to go back to freelancing. These fucking senators.

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples
You can find your local food bank here!
