Left, liberal, progressive, Democrat, radical, socialist, punk, comrade, furry, I don’t give a fuck what you call yourself as long as you’d kick a fascist in the shins given the chance.

I've always left and liberal interchangeably to describe myself and it annoyed me when some aggro internet dweebs gave them specific meanings and decided one was a pejorative. There's so many people whose ideology is solidly leftist who call themselves liberal because they're not terminally online

The people railing about Cowardly Liberals right now really don’t seem to understand how I bet at least 90% of the people who show up to protest would self-identify as if you asked them about their political beliefs

In parenting news … when did I stop being “Mom” and start being “Bruh”?

I hope this little dude never outgrows the part of his personality that says “if you see an open human hand, that’s where your tiny face should go”. He does it literally all the time. If I present my hand to him and he’s not super hyper (even if he is sometimes), he just puts his head there.

My best friend and I joke that with both our memory issues, we will be friends forever because if we get in a fight, we will forget about it.

Thank you Weather Channel for this article that has as its thumbnail a very very very high man.

I have a mind like a steel sieve. I will think it is new whether I want to or not.

Dear god you can’t say “massacre” in a world with multiple mass shootings a day. For a second I thought someone had mowed down a bunch of people at the CDC.

The whole “when God closes the door he opens a window” thing does not help when you are 46 and should not be jumping out windows.

Alex Jones has asked the Supreme Court to immediately put his almost $1.5 billion defamation judgment on hold, citing the imminent threat of InfoWars being handed over to The Onion.

If there isn't a stay, "InfoWars will have been acquired by its ideological nemesis and destroyed," the filing says.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you.
You people couldn't hang with real slackers.

(Caveat: In some work cultures it is considered polite to start with a “hello” when messaging a coworker. I don’t hold that against them.)

One sure way to get on my first nerve: to send me a message that in its entirety only says “Hi.” YES? CAN I HELP YOU? WHAT DO YOU WANT? Possibly aggravated by years of small children saying “Mama” when they don’t need anything, they just want to make sure my active attention is on them 24/7.
