Also love how YouTube assumes that I never, ever meant to close a video. Went back to the search results page? Closed the app entirely? Only 2 seconds left to go? Doesn't matter, we're beaming content into your eyeballs until the sun goes out baby.

One sycophant, two who fade into the background, two guys who're always making deep philosophical statements between vape puffs, a smirking dickhead, an insecure one, and one who will steal your shit when you're not looking -- yeah, this mirrors any large friend group I've ever had.

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.
"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.
Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

I know if they’re a democrat they’ll say he can’t, but if you ask what they plan to do about it they’ll bring up an unrelated vanity bill they’ve been trying to pass for two months or ask you for money, and those stopped being acceptable responses some time ago

This MLK Day remember that universal basic income would reduce crime, improve standards of living, and lead to more art in the world and the only reason we can’t have it is twelve jerks in suits who don’t want to lose a comma in their bank accounts.

Today I am celebrating Transphobes are Trash Day by telling all of my trans friends that I love them, and it’s bullshit what they go through sometimes, and of course that’s a perfectly reasonable amount to spend on vintage jackets you deserve it.
