If @jay.bsky.team actually believes there should be no Caesars, she would un-suspend Link tonight

Autocorrect turned my google search into complete gibberish, and the ai gave a bizarre and in-depth explanation of the history and "most common interpretation" of a not real "saying" that literally no one has ever said. Hate this so much.

Liberals are starting to say shit like, "trans people asked for too much too fast," and I'll remind your souless asses that we actually didn't ask for anything. we were minding our own business and quietly improving our healthcare and you (cis) decided to do a pogrom against us for no reason.

I don't remember where I learned this, but I tap around the edge of the lid with something. Somehow, it works.

Markwayne can't even imagine having this kind of courage or force of personality.

I know a woman who was driving alone when 3 armed teenagers climbed into her car and started threatening her. She put on her mom voice, told them they were stupid, and yelled at them to get the f out until they got flustered and ran away.

Markwayne Mullin: "I'm not joking when I say this. I drive around Washington DC in my Jeep - yes, I drive myself - & I don't buckle up. The reason I don't buckle up - people can say whatever they want - is because of carjacking. I don't want to be stuck in my vehicle when I need to exit in a hurry."

I get it, I try to use my Karen appearance only for good. Like getting a man to stop being a racist bully at my local 7/11 clerk. Sometimes only a middle-aged white woman can make a racist feel small.

I read the absolutely massive biography of James Joyce and the only thing I can remember is the time Samuel Beckett got stabbed by a pimp. Is Beckett the most interesting person that ever happened?

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

@Wokenessisevil
Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.

Fellow Seattleites: I beg you. Please do not reelect this absolute tool, this non-entity, this empty suit. Please elect someone who will put Seattle's purported progressive values into action. (Her name is Katie Wilson.)

I've got too many posts in drafts, so join me for a drink in the office and let's talk mental health, the coming police state, and why you're not helping anyone by saying that the worst is already here. Counterbalancing all of this soon with live piano concerts for (free) subscribers only!

Ellie’s write up is must read for understanding how horrible today’s Supreme Court decision is for trans people. Don’t let the press tell you this is some limited decision. The court is putting into question the right of all trans people to simply exist. By a 6-3 margin.

ElieNYC @elienyc.bsky.social · Jun 18

The Supreme Court ruled that the Equal Protection Clause does not protect everybody equally. Instead it upheld the Tennessee law that seeks to eradicate trans kids.

The Supreme Court's Anti-Trans Decision Will Live In Infamy

In its bigotry and deceitfulness, US v. Skrmetti is destined to be seen alongside Plessy, Dobbs, Dred Scott, and all of the court's other most notorious decisions.
