The gay agenda is to have everyone tuck in their shirt and roll up their pants.
I have a crush on Robert Mitchum now, he’s my guy.

Sometimes I want to make fun of people’s reading habits and then I realize I’m just glad people are reading.

Among other travesties in this statement, National Guard soldiers are not "law enforcement"
REPORTER: There are people upset with the president, believing the National Guard members shouldn't have been there

PIRRO: I don't even wanna talk about whether they should've been there. We ought to kiss the ground and thank God that the president said it's time to bring in more law enforcement

Public libraries shutting down to remove books “in secret” because of ideological pressure is not democracy at work. Using grants and administrative leverage to force political conformity in a public institution meant to serve everyone is an intimidation tactic.

When the prison guards went on strike, many inmates said they were doing so to preserve their ability to do things like this.
A @nytimes.com investigation has found that state prison guards have been credibly accused of engaging in such behavior — putting inmates in restraints and then assaulting them — far more often than was previously known.

Gov. Jeff Landry eliminated parole for prisoners arrested after Aug. 1, 2024, and tightened eligibility rules for those already in prison. Then he set all of that aside for one group: undocumented immigrants. Why? To have them deported.

Louisiana Made It Nearly Impossible to Get Parole. Now It’s Releasing Prisoners to Deport Them.

Born 21 November 1937, actress Ingrid Pitt. Her work with Hammer Film Productions elevated her to cult status. She starred as Carmilla/Mircalla in The Vampire Lovers (1970), based on Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu's novel, and played the title role in Countess Dracula (1971). #IngridPitt

It is interesting to me that David Simon is yelling about defunding the police, when season 4 of The Wire is a perfect example of why we should be doing that to fund our public schools and creating social programs for kids to thrive.

imagine being hit on by gross old Larry Summers when you just wanted professional advice and then finding out he was getting advice on how to hit on you from Jeffrey fucking Epstein

one of the grossest things I’ve ever read
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

I know lots of people are going through hard times right now, but we're looking for help for someone incarcerated without a lot of options.

If you know an attorney or prison advocate who may be able to help or advise please contact me or @deviantollam.bsky.social

(Please repost for visibility)
My friend Kara, the one currently incarcerated at Carswell, has had her hormones cut yet again.

They haven't done labs or anything on her in weeks.

They've now reduced her to 3 mg a week for her HRT.

We are still desperately searching for legal counsel who will advocate for her. Please help.
