I'm tired. We're all tired. This isn't hard to understand. You can't inflate prices of basic necessities like food and housing to ridiculous highs while keeping wages at poverty levels, then act surprised when luxury goods/services and large purchases become unattainable or payments unaffordable.

Not just the speed limit - the sound barrier. I’d probably even become the first human to travel faster than light.

Ok, let's say you accidentally got a nazi tat. Would you not break the speed limit driving to the shop to get it covered up the second you found out

"No, I was not aware of what has been front page and top of socials news for the past umpteen years. I routinely enter cryo-sleep and only emerge when I have to cash royalty checks and accept work other, wiser, people have rightly turned down."

The thing that gets me about actors responding like this whenever they’re asking about JKR is that they always say “we need to learn to agree to disagree ^_^” as if trans people are the ones leading the campaign, when we’re just trying to live our lives while JKR posts about trans hate 24/7

They just don't want us plebeians sullying their parks. Millionaires and up, that's their market anymore.

The Supreme Court looks poised to allow states to draw racially discriminatory maps – effectively eroding civil rights law and giving Republicans an almost insurmountable majority in the House. From @ddayen.bsky.social: trib.al/Vjs7n9K

The 2026 Election Is Being Decided at the Supreme Court

A case heard Wednesday will go a long way to determining whether Republicans can gerrymander their way to a near-permanent House majority.

I think you’ll really love the song “Nine People’s Favorite Thing” from [title of show] and highly recommend you give it a listen before my other recommendations.

You can understand this shutdown with 3 numbers.

15M — the number of people Republicans want to kick off health care

20M — the number of people Republicans want to 2x health premiums for

0 — the number of times Republicans have called the House back to reopen the government

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

I don't care how much Anti-Trump grandstanding Newsom does, this is who he actually is. Despiscable, grotesque, an ally to none but those who line his pockets.

My very gay fam and I do coordinated costumes every year. Typically we've dialed it in by early August. This year took longer. As we approached the third week of Sept I was like, "Ok, people, chop chop! We are running out of time!" All that to say... same.

So, sticking with my schedule, I wanted to share the opening chapters to my Wayhaught Vampire AU. I've tried to do something a little different, so, be kind.

Will update this on Fridays 😊🧛‍♀️

I'm kinda proud of this one.
