It was never just another app.

It was Community.
It was Knowledge and News.
It was Nostalgia.
It was Entertainment.
It was Different.
It was Connection.

And yet we know that #booklovers will always find each other ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻

No matter what happens, it saddens me deeply that rape, felonies, trying to overthrow our democracy, misogyny, racism and transphobia are somehow not deal breaks for 10’s of millions of Americans

Can someone explain why TikTok is a bigger national security concern than a social media platform run by a South African technofeudal oligarch actively interfering in our elections and sabotaging our national interests here and abroad?

Dear Boebert:
There were 45,000 gun-related deaths in America in 2020.45,000 children, parents, sisters, uncles, best friends. 45,000 fully-formed, sentient human beings with memories, families, careers, and dreams.

Other #vegans, can we have an honest convo about how the unconditional love one may have for non-human animals is different than the unconditional love one may have for humans as a whole? I love our humanity, but really loathe some people.

Whenever you hear someone in the media say that 50% of Americans wanted DJT, they're lying to you.

We have one of the highest rates of voter apathy in the developed world.

To contrast, Australia has anywhere from 89% - 95% voter turnout. We have 63%!

We're surrounded by people who don't care.

On this Jan 6th, take it from a person who grew up with a narcissistic mother: RESISTANCE isn't always combat.

Resistance is also choosing actions that give you your own self-respect. Finding healthy sources of information outside of them.

& fighting FOR your own ideals, instead of fighting them.

Thank you, Thomas! For saying (very eloquently) what my brain screams (very uneloquently) over and over again every day.

Trump’s brain is a clickbait machine.

Stop.
Clicking.

I'm not saying I'm completely changed by the 2024 election, but I may be leaving my puppy years:

(social, affectionate, likes approval)

And entering my cat years:

(anti-social, disdainful, plays with prey even when I'm not hungry).

*Bonus: I might start knocking shit off counters & shelves.

How to know if you're an arrogant fool.

Ask: "Am I an arrogant fool?"

If you can ask yourself that question, then you're probably not. 👀

Some people think that RESISTANCE means only FIGHTING.

But fighting can also be a symptom of feeling powerless. And "resistance" means taking back our power.

Thus, we have to abstain from "non-productive" fighting in order to truly resist, reclaim, & move ourselves forward.
