You might see a different version of me here — you’ll still see a lot of who you are used to (loud, passionate, opinionated, etc) but I contain ✨ multitudes ✨ and I’m trying to experience and show that more these days.

One of the most sickening realizations I've ever had came when it hit me that six hundred years from now historians will be writing things like "while technically illegal, intercourse with minors was broadly accepted as normal among the American ruling class, and even a marker of status"

NYT confirming MS NOW reporting:

Prosecutors began investigating Renee Good's killing, then Washington told them to stop.

Federal prosecutors had a warrant to collect evidence from Good's vehicle, but Trump leaders said to drop it. About a dozen prosecutors have since departed.

man I’m sorry to be all corny here but when I see a “the city is beautiful! There’s more to it than homeless people!” I gotta say you know who’s also beautiful? People who have no place to live & are trying to get by in a system that has turned its back on them & if you don’t see that that’s on you

Why does the "country need ICE?" I swear some of these consultant-brain people start churning out nonsense "solutions" to fill the void before people have even had the opportunity to think about what they want.

I've occasionally been too generous or some people thought I was a pushover, but I've never regretted being kind, which is different from being nice.

I am in a really bad mood and I’m fairly sure it’s because I’ve been off my meds for 5 days but holy SHIT.

People REALLY need to not cross my boundaries or be stupid around me for the next few days while I build these chemicals in my brain back up 😅 Thank god for this freeze keeping me home.

This weird thing where people are like “ICE is not the Gestapo, they’re slave patrols” and then others are like “ICE is not slave patrols, they’re CPS“ and it’s like ok the guy in charge of ICE is dressing himself like a Nazi so yeah Gestapo but also fascists can learn from more than one thing!!!!!!

I’m not much for religion but if I were, if a line of clergy flew in to freezing weather to line up and oppose me while singing songs of faith, I might be thinking “are we the baddies?”

TFW your airport is completely full of clergy coming to defend your people
The clergy just keep coming to this anti-ICE protest.

Genuinely unclear where they all will go — it’s packed outside on the sidewalk already.

Not the federal govt being like “no no bring the Ecuadorian back we didn’t ACTUALLY want him deported”

It’s incredible that they got one right for once but completely fucked over another agency. Comedy. Pure comedy.

This photograph is stunning and ethereal in such a way that it almost looks like something @elicia.bsky.social would create because her art is top tier imagery imho.

Like the values of color here are just !!! Idk what it is but I love it so much.

Okay but what about Andy Serkis? If he’s not in it I’m just going to assume they don’t find Gollum.
Sir Ian McKellen and Elijah Wood will reunite as Gandalf and Frodo in ‘THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE HUNT FOR GOLLUM’

Production will begin in May.

Hey so shout out to that guy that tried to mansplain Venezuela to me and how it isn’t comparable to other major conflicts in the world. Looks like I knew more than you did, huh?

I hope you’re enjoying choking on your words today, motherfucker.

Watching “Christmas with the Kranks” with my fam — haven’t seen this movie in YEARS. I hear a character say “Hi, Mr. Krank!” and my head snaps up because I would know that voice anywhere. Lo and behold it’s the one and only @kimrhodes.bsky.social!

Miss you, Kim. Hope to see you in the new year ✨
