due to incredible work behind the scenes by our local salesperson, we're able to get the accessories for an unheard of 25% off (usually it's 10% max), so we're actually only $97 away from getting almost our whole wishlist

can you help us make $97

please share & donate if you can, thank you so much

The template shows a series of quick, escalating reaction shots of Vince McMahon, here in a three-panel grid. He is seen reacting with increasing shock and excitement to someone's entrance to the ring. In the final panel, his mouth is open wide in disbelief.
Here the three panels represent reactions to

I plan on living at least 1 day longer than everyone who hates my existence. I want them to never know a day without me here. Fascist trash. 👊🏻

local mask-blocs might provide free/low-cost N95s and antigen tests. and one can support them, too. support your local mask-bloc.

I’m very very tired of “living in fear” being lobbed at maskwearers by people who frequently say they can’t wear one because no one else around them is.

Living in fear is ignoring science and endangering lives and your own health because you’re terrified of not fitting in.

ok, i get it now. looking at photos doesn't capture it. at this distance the natural movement of your eyes makes it seem like the scene painted on the ceiling is in motion.

I think it's important to give money to author support orgs that actively defend our interests. It's just solidarity.

But solidarity is a contract. Author support orgs that violate solidarity by promoting AI do not get my money.

So... IN A WAY, I guess AI is saving me money this year. Depressing.

A thing that I don't think the AI bros have considered:

Even if folks don't care about the artistry of Game of Thrones, for instance - even if they were just watching 'the cool show with the dragons everyone's watching?'

The important part of that is "everyone's watching." It was *social*. Shared.

Preeti Chhibber @runwithskizzers.bsky.social · 22h

Fair! But then then I guess the question is (just from a capitalistic perspective) are those people paying for tv, or are they just putting youtube clips on. Are they spending 25 dollars to go to the movies? Will they spend ten dollars a month on Sora to regurgitate whatever just to have it on?

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Lmao is this supposed to be a bad thing?

A tweet from Bari Weiss that says “"It's shaken me to my core," a lieutenant said of Mamdani's unexpected victory in June. "The absolute dread I feel is palpable.

Today in @TheFP our @Olivia_Reingold talks to the cops who say they will walk if Zohran Mamdani is elected in November:”

My two pieces of advice for someone beginning their transition is 1) put dating on the back burner and spend a few years interrogating what friendship is for you and relearning platonic vulnerability and 2) buy a goddamned fabric ruler
