Hear me out…

Re: No Kings

What if we were ALL kings and queens of our own equally divided land, and we merely engaged in trade and cultural exchanges for mutually assured survival & entertainment, without wars, slaves, or culling any regional demographics?

…in whatever fucking clothes we want…

Cutest husky ever.

She’s my sister’s, 9yrs, but I spend all my time at home with her so she’s basically my dog without the financial burden.

This has happened to me five times in my family-Chelsea, Cokie, Lexi, Fiona, and Bella all adored me like Artemis does.
It ALWAYS fell on me to train dogs.

Actually, working for GWAR sounds like my perfect job.

I don’t have to show my face, I can’t stand most public figures or fevered egos, I can play guitar well enough that it scares people, I can walk in platforms, and I’m over six feet tall.

Slash is fictional.

I’m as real as it fuckin’ gets.

Who knows where Bluesky posts come from?
They just appear.
Even on Rex Manning Day.

I’ll stop. 😅

I’ll…

say no more.

My college drama teacher, Gary Bolen, played the dealer who took the Empire’s deposit money from Lucas, and I’ve seen GWAR 4 or 5 times, once with Oderus (RIP DB)

… mon amour…

I’ve never seen a more apt description of myself, based on my own journal entries from a time in my life that I don’t care to dwell on.

I was working through some heavy shit.

Online atheism discourse has been infected by the white wealthy colonizer mindsets for far too long.

GMS, AmazingAtheist, and Matt Dillahunty have the right idea, but the wholly wrong approach.

Go follow Trevor Poelman @BeliefItOrNot.

He seems to understand the world a little bit more fairly.

This is unironically one of my top ten favorite songs.

I studied Sun Ra and Chico Buarque in college.

And then Betty Who did a cover and pretended like we didn’t hug before Financial Mgmt class.

Fuck Jessica Newham. Turncoat friends suck.

And she’s a homophobe!

You’re gonna cancel US-Canada trade talks when A) Rush is on tour, B) we asylum seekers are looking to exit the US, AND C) they have the French?

This gonna end in all of us getting clubbed like baby seals and our skins traded for beaver pelts, isn’t it?

Vive la revolution! Je ne suis pas MAGA.

If this is where Christian rock is heading, I’ll undo my boycott.

Oi!

Stand up to MAGA all you want, but don’t throw gay dudes under the bus.

This is why they’re nailing you to the fuckin’ cross right now.

Seeing this on Ebaumsworld in 2006 is probably the first moment I started laughing at the cult I was raised in, rather than just escaping it.

It’s an image game for rhetorical orators and money grubbers.

Just like Politics.

You’ve never been queer or homeless have you?

More leftist eugenics.

AOC hasn’t posted anything in a week.

And you think these people care about us?

BRUHHHHHHHH

I encourage all representatives and leaders to stop taking photos with, to quote Suzy Izzard, “genocidal fuckheads” if they want our money and votes.

I’m not attending any protests because I don’t think you’ll read the signs anyway.

The frog costume thing must be hilarious to you and Pres. Satan.

Intersex is far more common than most people think.

It’s entirely possible for you yourself to have an intersex genetic coding that simply doesn’t express physically in your development.

Testing isn’t routine for that sort of thing. But it might reduce stigma if it were more common.

Intersex Awareness Day highlights a fight for rights that’s far from over

From a Boston protest to global recognition, the history of Intersex Awareness Day shines a light on decades of work to preserve bodily autonomy.

Is it bad that whenever young people these days talk about how much they love the revival of “indie sleaze,” I, who was in my teens in 20s during that alleged time, have no idea what the fuck they’re talking about

Perfect response.
