Every day there are new sentences written that have never in the existence of mankind been written before and I think that’s beautiful
I talked to one of the r/MassiveCock posters who decided to bring anti-ICE conversations to the subreddit.
"... Nothing in life should feel ‘normal’ when these sorts of things are happening in our country. Even porn and sex," he said.

It's obviously good that citizens with smartphones can create multiple records of these shootings and undercut propaganda and government lies about them. But I find it a little deranging that being an informed news consumer in 2026 requires watching what are essentially snuff videos in slow-mo.

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.
Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.
