We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I never expected to live inside 1984. I owe my high school English teacher an apology.

The thing that makes me the sickest is that these folks don’t even have a shred of compassion. It’s one thing to enforce laws and rules. It’s another to do it gleefully and celebrate the suffering of someone born into poverty and desperation

Sometimes I think about what problems could be solved by all the wealth being hoarded. I think about what could be done for the children of the globe, the animals, land, water & for the FUTURE, if just a few greedy men wanted to HELP. There’s no way to accept the evil choices they make.

We are all trapped in a seventh-grade gym class with the kids who stole our money for the book fair. I do not like this timeline.

One thing I've learned from the Internet is that a lie needs 0% proof to be believed, but the truth requires thousands of pages of proof and still won't be believed.

Not only have autistic people been around since time immemorial, but they're also probably why we have civilization anyway.

People who categorized plants and animals. Who counted the full moons between planting and harvest and replanting. Who sat down and figured out the properties of rocks.

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read.

They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

Sometimes it's nice to remember that even Marcus Aurelius was like "you don't have to comment on everything bro"

I realize I'm talking about the 1950s LOL.

And if you didn't have a cap gun you could unroll the paper on the sidewalk and throw rocks at it. Good times.

Protect your peace (or whats left of it) this weekend. Its a lot and social media is and has been a dark place this week especially. Hug a loved one, pet a dog, get an extra scoop of ice cream. Love most of you.

I just found this on my gallery and I figured many of us probably need the laugh.

A hardback book with the title: how to make sure you never get reincarnated on planet Earth ever again please I cannot do this again OMFG

The real issue isn’t left vs right.

It’s not white vs black.

It’s not citizen vs immigrant.

It’s not gay vs straight.

The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.
