“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position

@mostlybree.kitrocha.com Whistles are good, but have you tried sending vuvuzelas to Minnesota?

2026, I'll be living two lives (even though I'm not a Gemini): Margo Hendricks, aka MargoH, and Elysabeth Grace. MargoH will be primarily on BlueSky with her shenanigans. By the way, re my www.gofundme.com/f/support-ma...: the MFs were found guilty of 2nd degree homicide. Still need aid.

the USA is the leading producer of garmonbozia in the world

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

I want us to stay focused on the grief of this terrible moment, but when Black people tell you not to touch something, that is not a challenge. Some things are ours for a reason. We can remember Renee Good as the person she was and the circumstances of her murder without co-opting Black suffering.

I have now seen two separate AI reconstruction pictures of Renee Good’s murderer and they are different, which tells you that they’re not good and you should stop sharing them.

A lot of people are fighting over whether or not watching a video of someone's death makes you a better activist or person and I would like to gently suggest that what you do in response to the video's existence is what matters, whether you watched it or not.

Nooo, do not, under any circumstances, let the hallucination machine have access to your health records. www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

2/2 I've tarred roofs, hauled around 50 pound sacks of gravel and salt, driven forklifts, and pulled orders all day in 100 degree Texas heat. I hated every minute those jobs and hope I never have to go back to one. But I would if it was that or shooting people in the face for trying to run away.

1/2 The thing that gets to me about ICE isn't that it's full of fascist true believers, but that it's packed with regular people too. Look at ICE job fairs. Regular people lined up saying, "A job is a job." No, it fucking isn't. I've worked shitty jobs...

*logs on for the first time today* …Yeah, I’m going to go back to making doll furniture. Be good to each other.

Since that fraud claim went so viral, it seems important to get this spread as well

How about a violent, sweary necromancer with anger management issues making really horrible life choices many of which involve murdering his problem away? The Eric Carter series www.penguinrandomhouse.com/series/EC2/e...

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait… This explains so much about my anxiety.

How not to write a romance novel.

I wish the album version of “Ain’t This The Life” had this energy, because this is the superior version. Someone invent a time machine so I can go back and see Oingo Boingo live.

My favorite movie at 7 years old was Terminator 2… 😬😬😬

Priest by Sierra Simone.

in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game

As an Ohioan, I can already tell you that “Freso” is not pronounced how you think it should be.

A bittersweet yet hopeful story. www.military.com/daily-news/i...

Day 5 of the flu (despite getting my flu shot), and I am ready to tear down the walls of my apartment. The cabin fever is real.

I'm super tired of "You're upset about this thing that doesn't affect me, so I think you should be upset about this other thing." I can be mad about lots! Also, fuck you.

Maybe I won’t pick up KDC2 after all…

Heads-up, author friends!

Seconding this. X is a great writer and editor, and you should be reading Criminal Intentions and His Cocky Valet, like, yesterday.

No one needs backstory for Gaston More oratory for Gaston These things are not mandatory for Gaston…

Is a brilliant idea! Need to remember this for next year.

I was going to reply with some of the dumb shit we would do in high school, but then I realized a lot of it was my male friends sexually harassing me and now I have a sad.

the 6-7 phenomenon is in no way different from any other catchphrase that kids have yelled out at any point in the last hundred years, there's no daylight between that and when i was in high school, the year straight where every guy kept yelling "i'm rick james bitch"

Brain: I have an idea. Me: Not tonight. I want to see Expedition 33 win all the awards at The Game Awards. Brain: OK, but it involves a Lord, a highwaywoman, and her roguish lover in your flintlock fantasy universe. Me: Goddammit.

If you see this, quote with something that best describes your flavor of neurodivergence.

Suddenly started writing a "There Will Come Soft Rains"-styled short story where AI facsimiles of people are the only things left on Earth after an apocalypse, unaware that they are only talking with each other.

Trust me, I would kill to hear my father's voice again. But this wouldn't be him; at best, it would be a hollow facsimile of him. At worst, it would hallucinate and I would be reminded of his Alzheimer's-riddled final years. What a truly stupid article.

This kills me. Anyone who's ever watched a loved one age into their twilight knows the meaning of that poem. Interpreting it this badly is infuriating.

This is a goddamned amazing piece of writing on Heated Rivalry and what the critics are getting wrong. It’s also a great manual on what is possible to achieve with character development during sex scenes. If you’re not a romance writer, this should be required reading.
