I understand why they had to stop him but I don’t agree with imprisoning him in the phantom zone

Stop talking about midterms, elections, and voting Trump out. That's not happening. He and his cronies have no intention of leaving. This is a authoritarian dictatorship now backed by billionaires, oligarchs, and some really weird fucking people. America is dead. We are in the post-American era.

Pop culture things that traumatized me as a little boy in the late '80s/early '90s include:

The music video for Age of Confusion by Genesis.
The alien abduction scene in the science fiction movie Fire In The Sky.
The toilet scene in Ghoulies 2.
The Large Marge scene in Pee-wee's Big Adventure.

When Tr*mp mistreats a journalist at a press conference, all the other journalists should just get up and leave.
And they should not need to be told this.

If you only support bi books when the characters are in same sex relationships, you don’t support bi books.

This is an ongoing bugbear of mine (one of The Bridal Party’s first reviews said it ‘ruined bisexuality’ because it’s m/f) for a lot of reasons including erasure of genderqueer bis. Just stop

It is so hard to ask for help, especially when you’re disabled & chronically ill.

When you’ve spent most of your life being treated as “less than” or a drain, you worry anyone you ask for help will judge you.

It takes a surprising amount of courage, so the best thing you can do is be kind

Something people aren't talking about enough is how often Charlie Kirk invoked the Fifth Amendment when testifying before Congress about the domestic terrorists he provided buses to get to Washington on January 6, 2021.

Actually, Charlie Kirk was not "loved and admired by all."

We, for example, neither loved nor admired him.

How about you?

Promoting capitalism, state violence, transphobia, racism, and demagoguery can indeed make you a lot of money—none of which can be spent in hell.

I don’t know how I’m supposed to get up and go to work when the entire world is on fire and that part of my mind is convinced there just isn’t a future worth having because humans are so despicable and ignorant. I really feel like I’m not doing okay because of current events, then feel shame bc weak

When the government takes the time to paint the rainbow crosswalk memorial at Pulse black & good people restore the rainbow (which was permitted) & then the government paints it black again…

THEY’RE LETTING US KNOW THEY STAND WITH THE KILLER NOT THE KILLED.

Being disabled/chronically ill means constantly balancing two impossible tasks: convincing the state/doctors that you’re “disabled/sick enough” to deserve help and convincing everyone else that you’re “well enough” to be worth keeping around.

A lot of people think it's lazy to go back to bed but what if you conceive of it as going FORWARD to bed? Who’s lazy now? Still me?
