(He/Him) A pile of pop culture references in the vague shape of a person. Also, I wrote a book! It has airships, pirates, grief, addiction, existential crises, and, most of all, hope. Out for queries now. Find my work at jnelsonjr.com

I just cannot fathom the level of slavish devotion he inspires. He could tell them to rip the teeth from their own skulls and make macaroni art with them, and they'd do it just to own the libs. Then they'd pay his favorite dentist for Trump-branded dentures.

heartbroken to learn the pope sympathizes with the poor. how can i continue to believe in god

The Pope tweets: "The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe"

Someone replies: "I was so hopeful I could be a Catholic again after the disaster that Francis was, guess we just get Francis 2.0 now and I am heartbroken. How do I stay a Catholic now...I don't want to lose faith but I am. You belong to someone else, not God."

Good news! Now I can join ICE to pay my student debt and sext with my computer when I get lonely.

Amazing how quickly Puerto Rico ceases to be America as soon as the right is mad at Bad Bunny.

He thinks that maybe ICE should stop zip-tying children outside courthouses. Apparently that's all it takes to lose his citizenship.

Speaking of being behind the times, I've decided to catch up on three seasons of #StrangerThings before the final one comes out next month. I'm sure this is a solid decision.

It really sucks how much working out before work improves your day. Given that it involves working out. Before work.

I think you have to talk to the "girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa" to get your HR papers. But unfortunately Kristi Noem has her 😔

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Meanwhile, Lutnick's two sons are poised to reap all the refunds from the tariffs he and Trump levied, money that otherwise would've gone to the Americans they put over a barrel.

So tell me, are we draining the swamp yet? Are your MAGA hats and Trump bibles and golden Nikes making a difference?

Kushner is in business with the viciously authoritarian crown prince of Saudi Arabia, Mohammed bin Salman, slurping up American companies and increasing their soft power over American culture.

He'll pry it as wide as he can, until he can slip through and seize even more power than he already has. Anyone who thinks this will stop with Chicago and Portland is, at best, a useful idiot. And at worst, the one handing him the hammer.

Trump has blamed the trans community for everything from losing wars to shutting down the government. He's painted them as child molesters and sex offenders and violent radicals, and every single time he does, it's to drive that chisel just a little deeper. Make that wedge just a little wider.

J. Nelson Jr. 📖🖊️ @jnelsonjr.bsky.social · 17d

Every time you see the word "Trantifa," remember that this is what authoritarians do, and what they have done for all of history. They find a vulnerable group to scapegoat the country's problems on, and then they hammer the claim again and again and again.

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant.

Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.
