Nevertheless, she persisted, bitching the entire way. Queer, neurodivergent, frequently hyperbolic, kind of odd. Doesn't owe you an argument. She/her. @Jezi_Belle at the old place.

It's hard for me to feel too much joy when a terrible person dies in their old age after a long, peaceful, comfortable life. It feels like a slap in the face. Cheney got ten more years than my mom did, ffs, and creature comforts she never imagined.

May the names of the innocents slaughtered for his greed live on forever.

Ugh. My mom had a hysterectomy at some early ish age and I never got to ask her about the details.

It's just too goddamn much to deal with right now. If that's what it is, then it's just gonna have to be that way for a while.

A well meaning friend has suggested that I might be going through perimenopause which, sure, why not, just toss that on the fucking pile

My dad's American work ethic bullshit has really messed me up on this front. If I could just fully absorb the fact that yes, I am disabled, and things are going to be harder for me than most people and my standards should be set accordingly, I might be so much happier.

I'd love to be neurotypical for a day. Just to see what it's like, when your brain is a part of you and not something you have to contend with.

By my count, we are only 70 away from meeting our goal for this campaign. This campaign that has dominated our lives for the last month. This campaign that we started planning 3 months ago.

All that work, all those meetings. It was hundreds of people hours, and we're so close to the end.

Please!

I am angry about it every damn day.

There are former friends who refused to vote to prevent it who, if I saw them today, I would spit on.

I think a lot of people, myself included, have been suffering a nervous breakdown in some form or another ever since MVP lost last year. We honestly didn’t expect to be going through the same hell that we went through between 2017 and 2021. Now it’s exponentially worse.

Spent 20 years thinking I was an incredible writer, only to discover that I'm actually shit at the "coming up with something to write" part. Great style and vocabulary and execution, ZERO content.

The respect for paladins and the Light that he gave Jezi is about to be SEVERELY tested.

I get that it was supposed to be an "oh shit" moment highlighting just how powerful the Legion was, but I still think Tirion Fordring deserved a cooler death.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Chipping is on the list. We've just spent a crapload of money on the cats recently, so it's gonna wait for a few minutes, lol.

Exactly. She didn't have a good answer. A pissed off small monkey could absolutely seriously injure or kill a small child.

I'm as pro animal welfare as anyone on this lefty-ass site, but I refuse to judge this woman.

It was a wild animal that she had reason to believe might carry disease, even if that was inaccurate. The fuck y'all expect her to do? Try to catch it?!

A Mississippi mother has shot and killed one of the lab monkeys that escaped a wrecked truck last week, fearful after hearing rumors the monkeys were infected.

The Mississippi Free Press debunked that last week—but not before dozens of national & international publications reported the false claim.

Question for #CatSky:

Our two adolescent kittens (~6mo) are constantly breaking out of and losing their collars, which are the break away kind. Dad keeps telling me to get them non-breakaway dog collars, but I'm paranoid about the strangulation risk. They're 100% indoor. Thoughts?

Zohran is stone cold man. Putting out an ad in Arabic after all the Islamophobic shit that’s been thrown his way? Pure swag.

Dems don’t need to copy his politics or even necessarily his campaign strategy, they need to learn how to grow a fucking spine.

The Queen's Gambit was a super popular Netflix biopic that got them sued. The show claimed Gaprindashvili had never faced men. She's been destroying male chess masters for over 50 years.

as someone who was on SNAP four times let me tell you it would be *phenomenally hard* to exploit, they put *a lot of effort* into giving you *as little as possible* and are horrendously understaffed

if someone has managed to abuse the system they are Danny Ocean and you should respect the hustle
