Hello, everyone!
I am slowly going to migrate over here.
I don't know if I'll delete my Twitter account yet as there are many art and news accounts I follow there that I don't know will be here.
Happy to see you!

This is where we are. Read this joint statement by France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Denmark on Greenland:

"Greenland belongs to its people. It is for Denmark and Greenland, and them only, to decide on matters concerning Denmark and Greenland."

I am so hungry, but I have to ration my food every week due to affordability :(
Been gaining muscle and I'm so, so hungry, but can't maintain it.

It’s January. I’m 18. My country just launched an invasion under a Republican President to control more oil.

American voters will lose more than just elections if they don't vote to get every Republican out of congress as they can in 2026. They will erode any chance we have at fair and free elections in 2028. And that is because too many of you apathetic assholes don't vote like your lives depend on it!

Trump’s moves with Venezuela are not only a giant attempt to distract people from the Epstein files STILL not being fully released - and from the fact that Republican leaders are causing skyrocketing healthcare costs, pushing millions off healthcare; it’s also a blatantly unconstitutional oil grab.

I had to go to the doctor to get my ears cleaned yesterday, because it got to the point where I was almost deaf, and man, they must’ve been clogged for a long time partially, because everything is SO LOUD now, that it hurts. Even rubbing my hand against jeans or a surface hurts my ears a lot.

Did the United States really spend trillions of dollars on winning the Cold War, only for its president in 2025 take orders from a Russian dictator?

This is an earth-shattering humiliation for America of which its reputation may never recover.

Trump is putting his name and face on government buildings, on money, on warships, and pushing his MAGA cult of personality on all Americans.

Only dictators do this, not democratic leaders.

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve:

✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education
👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own”
❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history

When a group of blue state attorney's general submitted a strident defense of trans healthcare to Trump's FTC, no one in the media covered it.

No one, that is, except for @valorievandieman.bsky.social of Assigned Media, in one of our most read stories of 2025.

Slowly removing myself from technology.
My screen-time on my phone is down to 2 hours. Trying to get it under an hour.
Using my laptop less, social media less.
Don't want to drown in AI.
I don't care if I will eventually be "living under a rock."
Maybe it's better there.
