Tumblr post from pavlovsbimbo that says "At a kink party recently, and someone said 'aww are you pretending to be a person?'. She ran her fingers through my hair and said 'that must be so tiring, you don't need to pretend anymore.'"

Oh yeah where where's MY Nobel Peace Prize. I did a lot of great stuff for peace, & stuff. Since we just decide we're entitled to one & we magically get one.

Machado issues her first statement since being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and makes a thinly-veiled appeal to Trump for US intervention in Venezuela:

This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom.
We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy.
I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause!

this really is all just about resentment over obama being given the prize

BARTIROMO: On your point about the Nobel Peace Prize, do you think maybe the reason Trump won't get it is because you had to get the application in before Jan. 31, and that was only 11 days into his term?

SCALISE: Look, they can play technicalities. They gave it to Obama for just getting elected.

White House reacts to Trump’s Nobel prize loss
"President Trump will continue making peace deals around the world, ending wars, and saving lives," said Steven Cheung, White House Director of Communications, in a post on X reacting to the news that Maria Corina Machado had won the Nobel Peace Prize 2025.

"He has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.

"The Nobel Committee proved they place politics over peace."

The Nobel Prize committee proved it uses rationale, supports democracy and operates above fear, intimidation and sycophantry.

Fixed it for you, Steven Cheung.
