With tonight's loss, the Chiefs only have a 16% chance to make the playoffs.

Is this the end of Kansas City's postseason streak.

Ok now that I’ve ritually cleansed my energy, let’s get into another one of Emmy’s museum reviews
Y’all I went to the Vampire and Paranormal Museum (VAMPA) up in Doylestown today and I’m ngl I had to say the Shema a few times. And yes I wore my Robert Pattinson shirt.

I can’t even begin to express how much I do not give a shit about someone, anyone, being mean to her. Be meaner, actually.

Was just suggested I follow the official IG account for Nando’s Zambia
Something very nerdy about me is that I like to get on Google Maps, zoom into a random place in the world, and look at the hotels and restaurants.

The problem with this is that I get a lot of booking dot com ads for diabolical looking motels in like the middle of the Outback or French Guyana.

A very important thread. When I was probably no more than 10, I saw this picture of the woman known as Harlow in the Philly Inquirer. A little babygay, I was shocked that such a glamour queen could live in my hometown and even more shocked to see her described as "a former man."

Look, I don't know why you are all acting so surprised. Obviously Bryce Harper would want to follow in the footsteps of his greatest hero by getting mysterious IVs regularly and visibly decomposing in front of a delusionally loyal audience.

What’s especially funny about Bryce too is like yeah dude you have four kids all born within like 6 years of each other???? Of course you’re tired????? Doesn’t mean you need to try 21st century bloodletting!!!!

Ok I’ve been thinking on this for a few hours and I think it’s time for a serious conversation on the “trend” of being super thin again.

A thread.

TW: eating disorder; disordered eating; weight loss

I really hate that there is a thinspo trend starting again.

I am NOT part of that. I am NOT a body type anyone should aspire to.

But that is the MOST DANGEROUS TREND AND WE CANNOT GO BACK TO ED-INDUCING SKINNY CULTURE PLEASE NO

This, among millions of other reasons, is why any attempt to meet transphobes in the middle was always a form of abandoning trans people.

Like immigrant demonization, any attempt at all to give any credence to right wing talking points was always just ammunition for the right wing.
