I don't think that every Republican in this country, including Republican voters, are stupid. And I don't think they're all evil. Some of them are only stupid and some of them are only evil and then the rest are both

something quite brain-melting about the hard right's position apparently now being "we hate all Muslims and distrust Muslim states, aside from that one Muslim place that still has slavery because that sounds fun"

The internet loves democracy duck, the duck fighting for democracy in Venezuela

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

Took a break from the Supreme Court's ongoing horrorshow to focus on what really matters: how funny it is for a federal judge to decide, as a matter of law, that Drake lost the Kendrick Lamar beef

Federal Judge Declares Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us” Too Awesome to Be Defamatory

Apparently, Drake decided that losing in the court of public opinion was not humiliating enough.

insurance rejected my first request for short term disability coverage! while I'm pretty confident I can jump through enough hoops to make it work, please consider donating or reposting what you can to help us out during my recovery ❤️

Friends, I am thrilled to announce that we have finally obtained everything needed for my tit banishing ritual! If you would like to help support myself and @pat626.bsky.social through the recovery period, this thread will include some links.

It's just a picture of me in a tank top getting a big kiss from my baby bichon Starbuck. She's white and her ears and tail are usually chalked to either compliment mine or a fun holiday design. We're both between dyejobs in this photo, with my hair sorta blonde-ish and her ears a faded purple.

so I was crashing out today a bit, as one does, and tiktok very helpfully started serving me content claiming I had been cursed! hexed!

So I deleted the app and did some chores and drank water.

The algorithm is not your friend! get thee behind me, tiktok! etc.
