Good lord. All Chotiner has to do is LOOK at these people and fall over themselves to say/do something stupid.
A new kind of rapid Chotining. Please appreciate the alt-text.

At the part of Strangers Things S4 where Will and his brother have their moment about Will's likely queerness. I related a lot to Will in this, because I dealt with a lot of homophobic bullying growing up and it prevented me from accepting my own queerness until I was 40.

I have a morbid sense of humor and am very Irish so mine is: The year I was pregnant we were staying with my family for Thanksgiving. My mom rushes into our room at 6am yelling "Don't use the toilets, the basement is flooding, poop in these bags!" And hands us plastic grocery bags.
yes, hello, I would like to place an order for everyone’s funniest stories of holiday food-related family grudges / drama / chaotic incidents / lore
I feel like we need this

Ugh, today went sideways. My prints for the xmas market came out weirdly gray and now I have to figure out if the printer can fix it, if I screwed up the files somehow, and also how to salvage these so it's not just a loss. Currently feeling like I just want to give up, bleh.

Dudes who are selfish do not magically become better when they have kids. They usually get much, much, much worse. And dear god is this author aware of how bad the labor breakdown is between women & men in family life??? This is just the most insane suggestion.

1. "AI and other efficiency-enhancing measures" should come with the biggest * of all time because NOPE it's neither! 2. Wow, weird, when people do not have jobs they therefore do not have money to spend. Someone let @rbreich.bsky.social know they cracked the code.
GOLDMAN has some tough words about the young college-grad unemployment rate rising to 8.5%. 👀
“.. A further deterioration in employment opportunities .. perhaps reflecting AI and other efficiency-enhancing measures .. could have a disproportionate negative impact on consumer spending ..”

More reps should do clips like this, featuring the messages we're leaving, because almost everyone I know is calling on the regular.
Fear is contagious, but so is courage. I remain steadfast in my oath to the Constitution and am grateful to those across the nation who stand with us. Don't give up the ship.

Okay, Sunday, what in the FUCK is going on. Between this and Meta's "17 strikes for human sex trafficking and you're done" thing I want to scrub, bleach, and salt the earth.

I really, really, really, hate this company and this dude. When you start & base your entire fucking career with misogyny it never goes well for the rest of us. Also, I had the horrifying thought that the 17 might be because 18 is legal adulthood and now I just want to scrub everything.
Instagram’s former head of safety and well-being Vaishnavi Jayakumar testified the company had a “17x” strike policy for accounts that engaged in the trafficking of humans for sex.
“You could incur 16 violations and upon the 17th violation, your account would be suspended"

We're seeing some confusion about this, so let's talk about it.
Home Depot has been complicit as ICE snatches day laborers out of parking lots. At minimum Home Depot is turning a blind eye, and there have also been rumors they may be more actively complicit. Organizers including #weaintbuyingit 🧵

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

1. Love it when someone breaks down historical fashion as it relates to intersectional concepts 2. Sexually objectifying women as the default means that no matter what we wear, it's "wrong" morally to someone. Because ultimately it's our bodies existence outside of their control that they object to.
A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

Amongst other things, it is abundantly clear (again) that a lot of white dudes will fall all over themselves to make a mediocre white woman into something she isn't to justify their horny blindness & sexism. She does seem to be good at grifting, though.
this insistence that she is some preternatural journalistic talent is going to drive me insane

This is the thing for me. And I think it's deliberate because concentrating resources in this way continues the negative view of Autism as something that needs curing & avoids addressing ableism. We could make the lives of autistic people better, now, today, with comprehensive & individual support.
I want to live in a world where even if there's a "cause" of autism found, the answer would be "so?" But we don't live in that world, and that includes people on all parts of the political spectrum.

I joke about the park squirrels by me because they are entitled af but also, yeah. Several people feed them whole ass peanuts which 1. they seem not to realize other animals will also find and eat 2. make the squirrels INTENSE.
listen at best you're training the wildlife to be aggressive towards humans because they're looking for food from people which is NOT what you want for anybody's sake, human or otherwise. DO NOT EVER FEED WILD ANIMALS I don't care how cute it feels it is actually harming them and potentially others
hey, so, do not feed raccoons folks. that's rabies hours lol

This is an example of what I was saying earlier about Mamdani. He said this, which if you know you know it's a pro-socialist policy reminder & criticism of this admin...but all Tr*mp heard was "he likes the portrait -I- put up!" That's incredibly smart of Mamdani.
