14 years ago, Obama killed an American citizen with no due process via drone strike because he was al-Queda. No one with actual power or influence gave a shit. It's been a long road to get here, but a real bipartisan success

And they can not stop us from finding beauty as long as we have breath

Anna Holmes @annabookwriter.bsky.social · 18h

One of the things the fash want is the right to declare what is beautiful.

They don’t get to.

Beech Fork isn't safe for swimming, our hospitals are tottering, our schools are 50th in the country, and our infrastructure has crumbled. But Governor Puppet gets a video hand job :/

It is sadly not at all unbelievable. It is exactly what they want because they think they are "protected" and their ignorance is so breathtakingly enormous

"Things are always happening that have the potential to change you"

The Transfeminine Review @thetransfemininereview.com · 1d

"You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you."

- Miss Major, 2023 💔

One of the things I hear with some younger trans people I know is they feel, "I'm gonna get this surgery, and I'm gonna learn that way of speaking, and I'm gonna be done." You're never done. If you're a straight, cisgender person, you're never done. Things are always happening that have the potential to change you. So all I am today is not who I'm gonna be tomorrow, because of the things that happened to me today and later tonight. People forget that. "Oh, after I transition, I'm gonna be through." Well, good luck with that. 'Cause if you're through, then it's time to leave, you know, and I don't wanna go anywhere yet.
I'm in my seventies. Why didn't I stop? Number one is community. My gurls. I've had moments of thinking about stopping, but I didn't. I made sure I would step back, reju- venate myself, and then got back out there, and that's how you make a way. Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us. You make the best of it all and hope you can help make it a little better for the gurl after you.

a bullshit statement from Keira knightley saying she was not aware of a boycott against jk Rowling before taking a job on the new audio series and that she's "sorry" and "we're all going to have to figure out how to live together and we've all got very different opinions"
She can fuck off.

Unlike the Palestinian civilian hostages being released today after being kidnapped by Israel, the Israeli POWs won’t have to be treated in hospitals that were repeatedly bombed

Happy Columbo’s Day

Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.”
