Ok so I’m going to need to move by the end of October and have no prospects or savings or social circles.

Kait 🥔 @thryse.com · Aug 13

While I have food now, I’m broke with no income and I am going to be hard pressed to come up with any money to put towards rent or anything else. I’ve just been treading water for a year.

Please, if anyone can help my payment links are in my bio. Uber credit also helps💕💸💸💕

NEW: A MAGA X account often shared by Senator Mike Lee and House Republicans like Nancy Mace--that often alleges Democrats encourage voting fraud-- is run by a man who not only has never stepped foot in the US, he also illegally donated to an American campaign.

extremely miffed that the labeler that lets you know if somebody follows garbage people like Jonathan Chait and Jesse Singal is shutting itself down

I’m feeling so intensely dislocated politically after moving from NY to CO last year. I’d spend all my life in NY and I don’t know what’s going on here.

Also as a group the right is severely lacking in creativity and artistic talent. Sour grapes play a role. 🍇😝

A surprising number of people say a great outcome from social media was meeting their spouse through Twitter. Until today, I was clueless about Twitter being used as a dating platform.

A book with an orange cover. It is called Essential Characteristics. It has black and white illustrations of various electronics related items like picture tubes. At the bottom it shows it was put out by General Electrics.

The US is functionally an empire, a kingdom of kingdoms, and really should be governed more like how Rome handled conquered territories.

This is the bizarre existential tension of the United States as a polity. We’re fucking huge and really diverse, like multiple subcountries trapped inside, and we want to pretend that there’s a a national political system that will satisfy everyone

on the FLIP side the worst part about being a trans woman is that i can't ever look at porn without going "oh that's my mutual" "oh i have her blocked" "oh she's really annoying" every five minutes. you bitches ruined my favourite fetish category

Katie Tightpussy, Editor-In-Chief @katie.bzky.team · 18h

i think my favourite part about being a trans woman is how much of an impact we have on culture. a friend reminded me today about a popular meme format she created. another friend today casually told me about how she was the most notorious roblox hacker when she was a child.

just a day in the life!

Personally I wouldn’t even describe it as exaggeration. They’re not taking a baseline reality and inflating its severity, they’re fabricating an entire fantasy

A children’s hospital was set to get a new backup power system. The Trump administration just canceled it during the shutdown, claiming that it was part of the “Green New Scam.”
