They remark about the rising number of LGBTQ+ folks like it's a new phenomenon because they just choose to forget that they used to kill us

Trump had been involved in 4,000+ lawsuits before he ever rode down that escalator in 2015. He's not in legal trouble because he's running for president. He's running for president to escape his legal trouble.

When I was in high school, I REALLY wanted to take Photography but there was an additional materials fee and my parents couldn't afford it so I took Wood Shop instead.

As a result, I have a completely uneducated eye when it comes to taking photos and I'm probably breaking a lot of rules that I don't care about, but at least I can make an ugly clock out of a 2x4.

Bad photos can be found here:
@Alice

Ugly clocks are coming soon to my Etsy shop.

The nerve of charging someone almost $100K a year for college and withholding diplomas for protesting is a motherfucking outrage.

US on Gaza: "Rudderless, incompetent & complicit"

Just as the US temporary pier - a ludicrous idea instead of insisting Israel open land crossings - finally broke apart....

the latest US "ceasefire proposal” will similarly founder unless it comes with sanctions...

the last thing US complicity will allow.

Trump's most obvious lies (like pretending he never led chants of "lock her up) are perhaps the most disturbing.

Telling lies that everyone knows are lies is a classic tactic of dictators to force their followers to side with them over the truth itself.

Sometimes, I think we need to stop blaming just Capitalism, and get more personal. Lots of countries use a Capitalistic system, but still manage to pay workers fair wages, provide free/inexpensive Healthcare, have paid maternity/paternity leave, longer paid vacation, shorter work weeks, ect. We use the word Capitalism like Christians use The Devil, but it's not some dark mysterious force, it is people who are choosing to treat other people like actual garbage, it is people who are making laws, people who are denying rights. The derision with which we speak the name of Elon Musk or Donald Trump, should be universal for rich fuckers who choose profits over people. They shouldn't get to hide behind, Oh, that's just late stage Capitalism. It's a choice for them, and it's a choice for the lobbyists who promote them, and it's a choice for the politicians who put those laws into action.

America: You need to have health insurance!

Me: Cool, that makes sense, but it's going to cover my whole body, right?

America: Depends, do you use your teeth and eyes?

I PROFOUNDLY DISAGREE with those saying it’s a “sad day for America” or we shouldn’t celebrate in the streets.

WE ABSOLUTELY SHOULD!

This is a victory for the RULE OF LAW.

A RICH WHITE MAN has been held ACCOUNTABLE for HIS CRIMES.

Thursday was a GREAT DAY!

In the same way most of us say “goodbye” without realising it derives from “god be with ye”, maybe one day people will end conversations with “likensubscribe”

if you can't be in a coalition with people you disagree with on at least a few things, you can't build a coalition big enough to accomplish anything in the United States or defeat rising fascism.

It’s just not going to work.

So the RWA has declared bankruptcy, and chooses to blame it on Courtney Milan and the "woke push" for DEI.

You knew I would rant about that, yes?

Hey all! 👋🏼 It’s #introdction time! My name is Hannah and I want to share a little about myself:

I’m a #wife (my hottie husband is @alex ) and a #mom of 3 awesome boys 🐻🐻🐻

I’m a co owner of Markley Bros. Entertainment and a cast member on our #dnd show Ember Fables! I #homeschool my kids and drink enough #coffee to fuel a small army ☕️

I love all things #mushrooms 🍄

I enjoy playing #ttrpg, #reading, playing #videogames ( #BG3 and #stardewvalley are my current favs), being outside but only in the hot sun ☀️, riding my #motorcycle and watching #scifi and #fantasy

Although I’m new this the world of #Fediverse I’m excited to be here!

It's always weird when people insist Biden has no power in a foreign policy situation, the one area where -- unfortunately -- the president has virtually unlimited authority.
