I'm a probably insane autist with zero filter. I'm here to opine and shout into the void and if you want to follow along that's on you. My opinions are intense and I'm not particularly concerned about making friends. If you anger me I will curse you.

Everything sucks so here's a pic of a frog on a lily pad in bloom.
No. Everything doesn't suck. Life is still a miracle of indescribable beauty. If you can look at Mother God's beautiful creation and say "this sucks" then you should check to see if you are sitting in Plato's cave.
Evil people suck. That's what sucks.

Mother's anger is flared tonight. It is pulsing. Her beautiful music is raging like a passionate symphony, like a crashing, thunderous storm.
Protect pedophiles at your peril. If you contribute to abuse of children you will understand the meaning of true horror and misery.

Deliberately misgenderng children is abuse. Abuse causes a 64% likelihood of poor mental health into adulthood. If schools, parents & the Streeting/Starmer conversion therapy centres for trans kids do it they are deliberately harming children, harm that will continue throughout their lives.

really interesting that we don’t have a cultural panic about group think and intellectual homogeneity among the most powerful money men in the country. all the more interesting when a bunch of them have clearly lost their mind.
I wrote about venture capitalist Shaun Maguire, his accusations that Zohran Mamdani is a "secret Islamist," and his emergence as a leading right wing voice in the tech industry.

The Agami Herons are very busy right now collecting twigs for their nests. One adult will collect sticks and then the mates will debate the best location for said twig. I'm going to spend some time over the next few weeks documenting the nesting of these amazing birds.

I love Mother God so much and if there was one thing I desperately want queer and trans people to know it's that the universe doesn't reject you. God doesn't reject you. She loves you exactly the way you are and the sadness and anger that she feels over the way you have been treated is immeasurable.
