this rhetoric (which is only increasing) is so dangerous.
Anti-depressants saved my life. I know exactly where I'd be without them.
I wish senators would ask RFK how he really feels about disabled people and if we deserve to live.

RFK Jr on anti-depressants: "Are we actually preventing suicide, or are we creating more suicide?"

Yes. While there are absolutely things Democrats can and must do to slow, obstruct, etc, GOP hold both House and Senate majorities, severely limiting our options.
Johnson and Thune are handing over the own keys and relinquishing their own power. Even for the cynics this should be a shock.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

I love that a white guy was flying the plane, a white guy was flying the helicopter, and a white guy gutted the FAA last week but somehow the blame is too much diversity.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

Felt. Don't feel like I have much poetry in me at the moment. The voices are quiet.
I stopped doing a lot of my creative outlets because life demanded i try to survive. I am working on getting back into writing, reading and being on stage. I miss it.

Edward Teach, better known as the pirate Blackbeard, was killed in a skirmish with the Royal Navy off the coast of North Carolina #onthisday in 1718.
A very effective self-promoter, who used his carefully-crafted ferocious image to intimidate others.
Dude would totally be on Twitter these days.
