It’s humbling and depressing to realize how highly replaceable you are in every aspect of your life.

I think… they’re just pissed they can’t charge for the air we breathe and that’s why there’s such a rush to defang the EPA and destroy the air. They want to sell us clean air.

Biscuit is running all over, chasing his tail, and beating on the windows like we’re holding him hostage. Hint: we are. The other cats are just watching him like he’s lost his mind and he may have.

In case you ever thought the right gave a shit about Jews. Spoiler: they do not.
And the antisemite they're trying to put in the State Department right now jewishinsider.com/2025/12/jere...
State Dept. nominee espoused antisemitic views, downplayed the Holocaust
Carl mused about the need to address the ‘Jewish Question’ and characterized Jews as religiously incorrect and in need of conversion

The average publication date of the 5 titles mentioned in this post is 2002. Why are books that have been on the shelves for more than 2 decades being yanked now? Because of a coordinated effort by far-right Christian nationalists to manufacture outrage for political gain. Learn more here.

Saying “the only disability is a bad attitude” to us and holding up high-achieving disabled people to compare us to is one reason we have a higher rate of being suicidal/committing suicide. We work so hard just to get up to the starting line of this race called life and it’s not honored. 1/3
Autistic people are lectured by those around us about our “work ethic” or “need to overcome our disabling elements.”
This constant and deliberate gaslighting and verbal oppression is driving people to burnout, to isolation, to taking their own lives.

There are liberals and even leftists who for years disparaged the QAnon/pizzagate code-word conspiracies as nonsense and are now doing the exact same thing, falling for obvious bullshit and antisemitism, and it's really, really disheartening.
