I still think we should improve society somewhat.
Survive a few hours without my emotional support blorbos? In this economy?

Waking up and thinking that they should have given the Nobel Peace Prize to Jose Andres, and had they done so, maybe we wouldn't be in, like, half of this fucking mess.

This is Luna. She faked having a paw injury after her human hurt their leg. Figured they felt silly hopping around like that and thought it'd be less embarrassing if she did it too. 13/10 (IG: claassenam)

Fairly sure it’s unintentional, but the end date on this mug being sold by the Smithsonian does make it sound a little like they’re saying America dies in 2026…

I keep thinking of the end of the Quantum Leap ep The Leap Home: Part 2 everytime I see this photo.
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

Let me tell y'all about guys like Newsom, because we learned the hard way in Dallas.

Eric Johnson was a respected Democratic state rep when he was elected mayor in 2019. This made sense, as Dallas is deep blue. Johnson's tenure began normally.

But then he started hanging out with Republicans. 🧵

ICE seems to get completely flummoxed when they’re being yelled at by white men over 35. They kind of put their heads down and shuffle their feet. It’s like their kryptonite.

I wrote about my experiences being sexually exploited as a child, and what we need to do to make sure AI doesn’t make that a reality for millions of children.

Affordability is the Free Space on the Democrats' card and they should give it some attention, but the idea that they should put virtually all or even most of their emphasis on that is ludicrous.

Voters want action on other issues too, and that needs a real message.

This is Kevin. He's a reactive dog getting some training to be more comfortable. His trainer brought him to a pet store for some socialization where they learned he is no longer reactive when given a giant stuffed dinosaur. 14/10 (TT: katieandtatesfostermates)

Fucking cunt can't even leave our games alone. I hope he gets his dick sued off.

Imagine perverting something that saved so many people's lives, and has such a huge queer and immigrant community because we relied on it to get us through.

This leads me to believe that up until this meeting, Trump absolutely thought it was "hole milk."

This is surreal. 4 Oglala Lakota men kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis have finally been located. One of them was released but the other 3 are being held at Fort Snelling, a former concentration camp used to imprison Native people incl. the Dakota 38 during Dakota Wars.
