Family’s where you find it, and you don’t always find it where you spawn in.
I hope none of you are pressured to attend thanksgiving with toxic family
It's okay to spend it with good friends instead fr. I'm tired of people saying otherwise.
Celebrate for the people that love you not for the lies that holiday was build on.

What’s truly insane here:
I gave the FBI some of these images in 2020 when they were investigating a Terrorgram-related hit put out on me, and I had to explain what all this shit meant.
5 years later, and DHS is spreading that same goddamn fascist propaganda.

short thread on the Homeland Security Twitter’s use of literal fascist, accelerationist, and Neo-Nazi Telegram propaganda, aesthetics, and memes — incoming
Please amplify, those with a bigger platform than me.
It’s horrifying that the person running the US Homeland Security Twitter uses — and clearly knows — the exact same aesthetics, memes, and propaganda from fashwave, accelerationist, and Nazi Telegram.
It says everything about where we are.

I'm not ace, but I feel like the friendly paladin here describes a good way to look at a part of being ace. Any ace folks want to critique it?

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

mocking shitty people for being shitty is fine. dragging their appearance into it has the unintentional side effect of making the people around you feel awful.
