My best pal read this and they said they were impressed with how many hyperfixations are crammed in there. You've got
• sad gays
• ⁠debauchery
• ⁠evil art
• ⁠masks
• ⁠obsession as sex
• ⁠post-WWI trauma

you know, it still seems like it should be an even bigger issue that the president has been sending armed forces to kidnap and assault people in an ethnic cleansing campaign, with a specific geographic focus on regions that didn't vote for him in the last election

Absolute fire.
"People think of the USA as a nation of immigrants and the land of opportunity, but the truth is, this country can’t afford to welcome all the migrants who want to live here. In fact, we barely have any money at all, because destroying the lives of immigrants is very expensive."

I need folks to understand this. The idea that local police forces will intervene at scale against ICE is a utopian fantasy totally disconnected from how policing has always worked
Police departments across the US are quietly leveraging school district security cameras to assist Donald Trump’s mass immigration enforcement campaign, an investigation by @the74.bsky.social reveals.

People sneer so much at this basic-ass shit sometimes and like, I get it, maybe to you it’s very basic, rudimentary, not illuminating. But I promise you there are people out there who need to hear it.
it has been since probably the early 2010s since i regularly heard people saying 101 level phrases like "the patriarchy hurts men too" and we should bring it back bc american culture has regressed so much since then that it's pretty pathetic tbh

Nothing says controlled opposition more than this man as a presidential nominee
i think nominating Gavin Newsom will lose the White House again for Democrats. The party's left flank will stay home again because he's an empty corporate shell. The age of Democrats punching left to appeal to the center is over and it's now a matter of if the party as a whole realizes that or not.

Name an author or book that you think does romance in an SFF setting very well! Shoutout a Sci-Fi Romance, Romantasy, romantic fantasy author, or author whose work isn't any of those but who writes romantic relationships well!
