I am going to give you a very sincere answer here and hope that you see this: volunteer. Decide what’s important to you and give your time and/or your money and/or your physical effort into making your community better. Because that matters, and can help keep us from war.

This is the way. When they come at us, we come back at them twofold. Raise that Pride flag every time they take it down. If they prevent that, surround the park with Pride flags. Ruin their petty little lives until they shit rainbows. Never stop. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/12/n...

I saw a reel on Facebook that said "Connor Storrie in the movie of 'Song of Achilles' when???" and I have never needed anything more in my life. He would absolutely be the best fuckboi Achilles ever

And I will take Karen's ashes to the movie theatre when it comes out (no I won't but).

never seen a better clapback to "just playing devil's advocate," this made me screech
rather than play advocate, go meet your client in person to be sure you understand their concerns

I stole this from my friend’s insta but i think we need to talk about another reason why AI must be stopped and that’s cos it makes it far too easy to do shit like this that should be filed under “could you just not?”

I'm convinced AI is our generation's radium - a discovery with genuinely useful applications in specific, controlled circumstances that we stupidly put in everything from kid's toys to toothpaste until we realised the harm far too late where future generations will ask if we were out of our minds.
