A tiny bit of shameless self-promotion because the gifting season is creeping up on us. If you’re after something delicious, handcrafted, and ethical, my chocolate boxes, bars, and treats make really lovely gifts. Treat yourself, treat someone else, or both, I won’t judge! Reshares appreciated! 🍫✨

Are you still massively against me breaking into your home and stealing all your stuff so I can sell it or have you moved more towards acceptance?

I urge everyone at Thanksgiving to reply to all political rhetoric from your drunk father-in-law with “quiet piggy” and see what happens.

Since we live in a culture that worships merch, I've always wondered why there are no specific lawn decorations for Thanksgiving. Very occasionally a blow up turkey. Nothing else. Until now when I present my new idea for making millions:

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

Among my favorite parts of the Seth Meyers/Lonely Island podcast is when an episode is about a Digital Short I'd never seen before — especially ones so funny, it leaves me wishing I'd known about them 15 years ago. Case in point: this week's discussion of "Booty Call," with Alicia Keys.

I cannot begin to properly articulate how upsetting it is to have had people baselessly accuse trans people of being groomers and pedophiles only for it to come out that they were deliberately doing this as part of a project to provide cover to actual groomers and pedophiles in positions of power

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

Mannys is giving free meals to people who come in and show a SNAP card - a complete family meal.
This is a great way to support them so they can feed a ton of people.
Places can only give out so much free food - especially family run places like Manny’s

Cecilia Gentili was a fearless advocate for trans people and sex workers. She successfully helped to repeal New York’s “Walking While Trans” law that police unjustly used to stop and frisk countless trans women.
Cecilia passed away in 2024, but her legacy lives on in our fight for liberation.
