I am a strong 9 today
Which Daria are you today? 1) Wearing an It’s Okay To Cry shirt 2) Getting hit in the head with a frisbee which knocks your glasses off 3) Wearing Devil horns and carrying a pitchfork 4) Questioning everything with massive side eye 5) Head in hands covering face 6) Stoned AF 7) Sitting at desk caring about nothing 8) Asleep face down with a remote control in your hand 9) Making a magic sparkly rainbow overhead that reads I Hate Everybody

To the Blue Bobblehead community:
Get this into your head: if violence were only a thing of the future, if exploitation and oppression never existed on earth, perhaps displays of nonviolence might relieve the conflict. But if the entire regime, even your nonviolent thoughts, is governed by a thousand-year-old oppression, your passiveness serves no other purpose but to put you on the side of the oppressors.

The Louvre thief has been identified as Mr. Steal Your Girl
gayfatfriend 5h + I was hoping the Louvre thieves would be hot, but this is ridiculous. He looks like Al. He's so beautiful, he looks like he's FROM the Louvre. Guess he also stole my breath because I can't breathe. Come on.

Coincidentally this is the ballroom at the Winter Palace in St Petersburg
The Russian Winter Palace ballrooms looks like an eerily similar but smaller version of the ballroom Trump has planned for the White House

My husband knows I’ve been going through a really hard time lately, so he bought these randomly for me yesterday just to cheer me up. I found a good one. They exist.

I hate reposting this garbage but it’s going around so I have to comment. Can we stop with the using trans dress as an insult thing? That’s what Trump would do. And someone tell the AIs this dress/hair is not Marie Antoinette. It’s Queen Elizabeth.
An AI image shows Trump dressed as Queen Elizabeth with the caption “let them eat cake!"
