Pinned

Heather Jochens @heatherjochens.bsky.social · Aug 6

As I grow a record collection, I might pin and start a thread of all of the records I’ve got/gotten…

A record player with a clear lid over the table adorned in tickers starting on the
top right
A teddy bear crying with a rainbow with the words “I’m Fucking Trying, Ok?”
A green sticker with a purple horned monster with its tongue out. The purple words above and below the face read “Atomic Cotton”. It is shiny
A red heart sticker with a white KC in the center
A Michael Myer’s mask with a butcher knife through the eye. Half of the mask is torn off to reveal a skull jawbone. It is flanked by blood spatter
A white tea cup with delicate blue patters has a white and blue flower coming out of it. A blue and white bird is perched on the flower
Down
The Pale Man from Pan’s Labyrinth holding its hands in front of its face where the eyes should be
A round sticker with a pattern reminiscent of an indigenous blanket there is a white shape in the middle showing a Cormorant. It reads Waterford Coffee KCMO
A yellow sticker showing a woman in green. In the center is her face looking angry with fangs. On either side of the face is shows the upper half of her body holding up the lid of a basket. The words below “The Lair of the White Worm”
Bottom going left
A colorful snail with a disco ball shell with a link for groupiecandles.com
A round black sticker with colorful letters reading BFF. The B is turned on its side with a blue turtle sitting atop it
A sticker with HATE in red capital letters with Has No Place written in blue cursive letters. In the front is a lotus and a lily pad.

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Based on an HP Lovecraft story, we are here to celebrate its 40th Anniversary!

Also there are dildos hiding in this one…. I’m gonna find them.

On the screen is a man holding a green syringe surrounded by zombies. In the space next to him is a heart monitor that flatlines.

Someone dressed up as a cat boi Herbert West with a glowing green syringe.

Rep. Buddy Carter: "Donald Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. That's why I'm introducing a resolution today that will honor him with the Nobel Peace Prize."

María Corina Machado of Venezuela, the opposition leader who built a powerful social movement challenging President Nicolás Maduro and has been living in hiding since last year, was awarded the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. Here's what to know: nyti.ms/47iFxzh

I am saying this because I keep seeing how Trump demands a Nobel Peace Prize for literally just his Art of the Deal bullshit without putting in any actual work or care.

He wants that immediate return and then he can get back on his normal bullshit.

Heather Jochens @heatherjochens.bsky.social · 22h

Wary of the Gaza ceasefire and the people saying they’ll give Trump credit for it for a few reasons—

- Trump and his ilk are business people. A hallmark of most business people is the focus on immediate returns.

- there is no promise that meaningful peace building was ever intended in it.

Have you ever seen Bruce Springsteen or Bob Dylan sitting under a bush eating cake with their bare hands? No you fucking haven't.

Johnny Cash sitting cross-legged under a bush with a whole cake in one hand, a fistful of cake in the other hand, icing smeared across his face, and a pleased expression.

For some reason the song playing while Salma Hayek dances reminds me of the cover of Forget Him by Theresa Tang that they play in Fallen Angels…

Watching From Dusk Till Dawn and a few notes—

- what the fuck is wrong with Richie Gecko!
- you definitely can’t miss the Titty Twister
- I love how a lot of the bad shit that goes down is somehow everyone else’s fault except the Gecko brothers especially since they create their own problems

The only way I can see this being legit take is if someone’s only exposure to country music has been bro country and Lee Greenwood.

People I think tend to forget it’s a NIN song because he did that well!!

…. When has he ever been seen as uncool? This is a dude who not just influential in country but rock and folk too. Next you’re going to say that Willie Nelson can seem deeply uncool and that’s false as fuck!

Just want to remind everyone that little moments of joy are so important right now.

For instance, my cat does not understand the human concept of kisses beyond Incoming Nose = Love. So every time she’s happy, she’ll smush her face or shove her nose into ours.

Please share your joys with us.

If you need to “make proof” I have questions about your specific knowledge gathering project.

RFK Jr on Tylenol and autism: "It is not proof. We're doing the studies to make the proof."

Heather Jochens @heatherjochens.bsky.social · 1d

This is blatantly false. There is no video like that. Get absolutely fucked you piece of shit.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."
