I am very tired of living the mortal orchestration of the End Times of a religion I don't even ascribe to.

"free speech zone" is such a bullshit phrase

according to the constitution, the entire country is a free speech zone

Found this just incredibly depressing, more than anything.
An easel sign reads, “UCLA ATTENTION No events are permitted in this area today. Per Policy 852, this location is NOT designated for public expression activities.

Okay, so how I read that is that shitting himself in public actually *isn't* his most embarrassing moment (not any of the three times he did it), but he really wanted to tell someone that he did it in an effort to avoid saying what his actual most embarrassing moment was.

If SCOTUS were not also simply an organ of Trumpist rule, Voughts entire vast papertail of "I hate the government and will break laws to destroy it" would make these layoffs illegal & the workers could rightfully expect court to rule in their favor. Unfortunately, SCOTUS

🎂 It's my special cake and candles day you all have to be nice to me because it's been QUITE the year 🎂

So share some of my paintings??
In the pew-lined interior of a dim medieval church lit by rows of candles on tall staffs and pale sunlight coming through a window, a tall humanoid crow figure with flowing black robes and a glowing yellow eye stands beneath an ornately carved semicircular arch in Norman Romanesque style. On the wall surrounding the arch are many colourful murals depicting more humanoid crow figures with halos, carrying various items including swords, spears, harps, and chalices. A painting set in a cosy shady woodland clearing on a sunny summer's day. In the centre of the frame, two figures sit on a fallen log mostly hidden by vegetation. The figure on the right has wavy blonde hair down past her shoulders, and wears a flowing white floor-length dress with long sleeves, with delicate lacework around the cuffs and neckline. She looks into the distance with a contemplative, sad expression. On her lap rests a small green book, covered by both of her hands. The figure on the left sits leaning with her head against shoulder of the other figure. She wears a similar dress but simpler, and in a dark slate grey. Her hair is dark and straight, and flows down her tilted face, and she looks off towards a nightingale bird perched on a nearby branch. She raises a hand towards the other figure as if to get her attention. Both figures are surrounded by various flowers. On the left of the frame are many spires of foxglove flowers in vivid pink and white, interspersed among green stinging nettles. On the right are the purple flowers of monkshood/wolfsbane. Wrapping around the figures is a clear stream flowing from a distant pond that descends in a series of steps. Around the stream are many small mossy rocks, and shoots of dark green dog's mercury. Above and behind the figures and flowers are two trees; on the left is a weeping willow with dangling dark green leaves. On the right are the branches of an old ash tree. A snowy scene in which a humanoid figure in long black robes with the head of a rook stands in a churchyard holding a long spear. By its feet is a red fox. Both are flecked with fallen snow. Around them are many weathered snow-covered graves. In the background is a medieval church of warm coloured stone with large rectangular windows and a battlemented parapet topped with pinnacles. Behind the main body of the church is the tower with clock face and belfry. Behind the church are tall but bare trees dusted with snow. More snow falls in the air.

They're a death cult, intent on taking all of us with them to a diseased grave to bring about their mythical perfect world or some such nonsense.

It probably speaks to what kind of sense of humor I have that I consider this song a banger, though.

Dying is the easy part. Living while haunted by the ghost of who you could’ve been is where it gets tricky.

1) People with food allergies
2) Autistic people w/ food sensitivities
3) People with eating disorders.

In general, if something doesn't apply to you, ask yourself, "Is there a disabled person who might need this?"

Why is there protein in everything now

Why would you put protein in a soda

Stop doing this, just eat an egg or some peanuts or something, protein is not hard to come by
