The GIF in my last #HeatedRivalry post has been flagged as "sexually suggestive" adult content when it is just the forehead kiss.... the most wholesome damned thing those boys did, which is hilarious. 🤣Watch out y'all for those graphic shots of...foreheads. 💀

This is now a Rachel Reid fan account. No Heated Rivalry discourse should be allowed without her name. Rachel, may both sides of your pillow always be cold. This show, like your book, is beautiful and the most faithful book adaptation I've ever seen. I will love these angsty, sweet idiots forever.

That is indeed a great bit, and then the mini screen below their faces just has to disappear completely. 🤣👀
love the inevitable part of video reactions to Heated Rivalry where the reactors’ jaws drop and they say “we can’t put this on YouTube”

This is your reminder that 36% of the entire queer and trans population of the country lives in the South. That's more, by a significant margin, than any other region of the u.s.
Worth remembering next time anyone feels the need to abandon or write us off.

The federal government is sowing chaos so they can have an excuse to escalate.
That is not the way any civilized country behaves.

I know logically, everyone & their bestie has tattoos these days. It's so common. But y'all, I said I could NEVER do it, I struggle with anxiety & intrusive thoughts , & getting my first this week at 40 really felt like healing. I'm so proud of myself. 🥰

Nobody needed yet another reason to love Pedro Pascal today, but I love that he gave us one, anyway . 🩵🩷🤍 On a related note, "heinous" is an underrated word that should be used much more often when necessary.

Democratic Leaders Stand Real Still In Hopes No One Notices Them
WASHINGTON—With the elected officials trying their hardest not to move a muscle, reports confirmed Monday that top Democratic leaders in Congress were standing real still in hopes that the American people wouldn’t notice them. “Don’t make any sudden movements, or they’ll spot us,” Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said out of the corner of his mouth, […]

Zuck's site hid a silly comment with a joke with the word 'dummy' in it ,but allowed someone else ( now blocked) to quote a slur in a reply on my post . Not that I wanted to stick around there much longer, but Jesus. The quiet part is out loud everywhere & it's hard to know where to even start.

It is beyond infuriating that we TOLD EVERYONE this would happen. And there it is. There's no way the same isn't true in every state with a similar ban. Horrifying.
NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared.
ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Watched #Heartstopper a few weeks ago, & I'm now up to date on the comics. It's been a tough couple months for me mentally, & it sounds dorky to say so , but it has helped me so much. 🥺 The world is such a mess, we need more art that feels good/cathartic. I'm so thankful for these guys, Alice. ❤️

An excellent summary of how to cope with reality right now.
A thread about feelings stuff around Our New Political Reality™.
First of all, as always:
eat
take your meds
hydrate
tell your people you love them
let them love you back
The first three make an ENORMOUS difference in our capacity to grapple w/ All The Things; the last two are kind of The Point.
