Clout chasers truly don’t realize, or don’t care, that they are one of the MAJOR disseminators of propaganda and misinformation. That they’re playing into the hands of fascists. That their selfishness is a danger to us all.
This is a fake Trump post, and the account that posted it here has been told repeatedly that it's a fake Trump post but still has it up.

That's an easy block.

I've been saying all season that I'm hoping it's a havertz situation and he just needs to hit his groove, and now it's happening!! we're winning the quad!!! I refuse to be talked into having more realistic expectations!!!!

just as bad in practice! I'm a real "woke up in a cold sweat from a nightmare about missing a filing deadline I've already met" girlie, but having met lawyers with *multiple* instances of the kind of error I would rather quit than commit, the bar for "fit and proper" is not as high as you'd think 🙃

oh man, I haven't thought about the colts in years, but I adored him back when I was an NFL watcher

here I am triple-checking the citations on my anonymous reddit posts and there are lawyers posting just whatever the fuck under their government names exactly as they appear on the roll of practitioners

truly wild how some people can take legal ethics and absorb 0% of it

this is the kind of pun I would sigh out loud at if I read it in a discworld book 💜

a pointless thing to wish! not only impossible, but thinking about it doesn't make me feel any better about anything, past or present! and yet, the thought will not vacate my mind
February 7, 2026 at 7:56 AM
I really try not to have regrets because I think they're unhelpful and a waste of time, but lately I have been really wishing I could turn the clock back and put a lot less time into a few relationships that ended up being quite harmful to me and a lot more time into literally anything else

@leftistlawyer.com I know you're not in NY but maybe you have a colleague who is?

I just saw that on my own TL earlier today and immediately saved it and sent it to everyone who has ever played magic with me

my brain is soup, how are we expected to know so many things
February 7, 2026 at 4:54 AM
lots to ponder

oh no, is there home cooking discourse again

I make up silly songs about my cat that nobody else ever hears :) it feels good to use energy on joy with no other purpose!

it's a reminder that we shouldn't and don't need a *reason* to exist and take up space in the universe. we exist, we are here, and that's enough. *we* are enough.

(if you're reading this - *you* are enough.)

to me, it's the closest human beings can get to the divine in this life. or if that's not part of your belief system: it gives our lives a meaning totally separate from our usefulness (to ourselves or others).

creation is good for the soul. it's a reminder that there's more to the universe than being productive, that there's more to being *human* than generating value.

everyone should have the opportunity to make things with no expectation that they'll be commercially viable products, or even that they'll be any good. I'll never sell a drawing, and that's fine because that's not why I like to draw (or sing, or direct plays, or write songs, or—).
February 7, 2026 at 5:39 AM
if you work, if you're a parent or carer, if you're disabled, if you live rurally/remotely, creative pursuits shouldn't be inaccessible to you. you shouldn't have to give up the things that bring you joy if you can't turn them into things that pay the bills.
February 7, 2026 at 5:36 AM
creative pursuits shouldn't be gated behind an affordability threshold. that doesn't just mean money - it means time, energy, access. it means infrastructure that supports people to make time and take time for what they love, not just the necessities of survival.
February 7, 2026 at 5:33 AM
mostly, the creative work I do find time for is work that has "value" of some kind - mostly writing I'm being paid to do. I've been fortunate to carve out a niche in my life for music and theatre, neither of which make me money, but I did that by making enough money at my day job to afford hobbies.
February 7, 2026 at 5:29 AM
I love drawing - I'm not any good, but I find it relaxing. I have no desire to become a professional visual artist or even to share what I draw with anyone. it's just a thing I enjoy doing for myself. and I almost never do it, because where would I find the time or energy?
February 7, 2026 at 5:27 AM
capitalism demands every second of our lives. it leaves no time or space for anything that doesn't feed it. the only creative work that thrives under those conditions is the kind that makes money. and don't get me wrong, that work still can be (and often is) worth making! but it's not all there is.
February 7, 2026 at 5:25 AM
creating things takes time, energy, thought, motivation. if you love to write or paint or sing but you're always tired, busy, overworked, worried about bills, when are you meant to find time to devote to your craft, develop your ideas, fail creatively, learn, explore, grow?
February 7, 2026 at 5:21 AM
it also looks like shorter work weeks, universal free/low-cost childcare, rent caps, walkable cities/accessible and reliable public transport, free education and healthcare...essentially, eliminating the conditions that keep people exhausted, in debt, financially insecure and time-poor.
Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.
Every instance of "AI democratizes the arts, you're classist and ableist and a gatekeeper for trying to stop it" is a slap in the face to the literally centuries of poor, disabled people making art on the margins and a crass lie in service of a machine that strips down and regurgitates dreams
