Americans, 2024: I generally remember pre-COVID being better than post-COVID and blocked out 2020. Let's do pre-COVID again.

Americans, 2025: So it turns out that Trump was not the reason things felt better pre-COVID, and Biden was not the reason things felt worse after.

Imagine posing for a photographer friend who sells your image to iStock and a year later, you see this is what The Washington Post has done with the image of you walking on a beautiful fall day
The Washington Post headline reads: "Try a ‘fart walk’ to ease the pressure after that big Thanksgiving meal Whatever you do, resist the urge to lie down. November 24, 2025" Accompanying the article if a black ad white photo of someone walking on what appears to be a cold fall day. The camera is capturing their back as they're walking in a park with leaves on the ground. They are wearing a black coat and black leggings. The Washington Post has added radiating yellow lines from their butt to suggest they're farting. The photo credit says the image is from iStock.

It’s beautiful to watch the flow of an idea as it diverges over centuries of cultural exchange and interaction
This image features a world map illustrating the etymology of the word "tea" in different languages. The map is color-coded in teal and orange, representing words derived from "tea" and "chai," respectively. A phrase at the top reads "Cha, if by the land. Tea, if by the sea," referring to how the word variations spread via land or sea routes. Languages like English, Japanese, and Maori use derivations of "tea," while languages such as Russian, Hindi, and Swahili use variations of "chai." An inset picture shows a glass cup of tea with leaves, indicating the subject of the map.

The problem with fetishizing the rule of law is that people have to break the law to resist fascism, state violence, and oppression. This has always been true, and is very much the case RIGHT NOW.

Our account is aggressively* Autistic & ADHD to the point that it’s an unbearable environment to many who are not similarly Neurodivergent.

*aggressive as in largely unmasked & unapologetic in our style & topics.

A cliché in World War II movies: the U-boat or Japanese submarine sinks a ship, and then gleefully machine guns the helpless survivors in the water.

The scenes reflect historical war crimes… and remind you who the villains are.

Pete Hegseth has made murdering survivors official US policy.

There was a long long time when many many powerful people refused to stand up to Joe McCarthy. And then McCarthy got weak, and people found their spines.

People finding their spines is always good news, not least because it's a sign of Trump's weakness.

“I like socializing with people the Allistic majority considers ‘socially deficient’”

Is a thought that should be a bluntly informative to you as …

Based on the dynamics of social networks & the double empathy problem if you see this skeet you are likely Autistic or are *following* an Autistic Bluesky user. (And if you are following Autistic people on social media … well … read the meme)

Glad to see Bohacek, a Republican state senator, standing up to Trump for using ableist slurs.

Discriminating against disabled people is still far too common & far too tolerated.

We must push back whenever the “R slur is used”

A stylized illustration of a bipedal mostly light purple and white bunny character wearing a muted medium pink blouse. One of her ears is folded down with the other sticking straight up. Dark magenta text above her reads, life is not a race; you're not running out of time." Background is a bright blue sky with a few clouds, a shining golden Sun, and green hills. The art is digitally made but styled to look like crayon on paper.

so none of what he’s saying is real btw
Donald J. Trump + @realDonald Trump Any document signed by Sleepy Joe Biden with the Autopen, which was approximately 92% of them, is hereby terminated, and of no further force or effect. The Autopen is not allowed to be used if approval is not specifically given by the President of the United States. The Radical Left Lunatics circling Biden around the beautiful Resolute Desk in the Oval Office took the Presidency away from him. I am hereby cancelling all Executive Orders, and anything else that was not directly signed by Crooked Joe Biden, because the people who operated the Autopen did so illegally. Joe Biden was not involved in the Autopen process and, if he says he was, he will be brought up on charges of perjury. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
