@hillarymonahan.bsky.social Oh my GOD, I can't believe I found you. A long-ass time ago you posted a link to a smoky eye tutorial from TikTok on Tw*tter and was like, "this is so easy, I love it." AND I LOVED IT TOO! But then I deleted my Twitter account without saving the link, and I've been

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans
The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

a major issue with video games is that they produce a bunch of people who consider themselves brain geniuses for solving problems that were designed to be solvable. as a remedy, we should be making more games that are actively and irreconcilably hostile to the player. thank you

Breaking my social media hiatus to say that any not-indie company that expects me to pay $300+ for a dress that uses ELASTIC SHIRRING to ensure a proper bust fit is CRACKED OUT.

Okay, this makes @schumer.senate.gov’s posts even worse.
Why aren’t you telling people about Democratic legislation that we could pass to prevent all of this?
I understand that the GOP won’t go for it—why aren’t you SAYING that the Democrats are working to try to save your gas bill?

This healthcare ceo is hard to talk about because how much death can you cause indirectly before you’re a murderer who got murdered? How do you convince yourself it doesn’t count if you kill people with policy instead of a gun? What do you have to believe about life and systems and human worthiness?

As a disabled person who has medical PTSD and has watched my peers repeatedly take their own lives or suffer for decades in poverty I will never, ever, EVER have sympathy or empathy for a single person who lives off wealth from the healthcare industry. And I won’t be quiet about my disdain either.

Imma need some of you to think about thriving out of spite. I had big plans for 2025 and I’m definitely not gonna pre-derail them for likes of Elin and Tromp. I’m getting more involved. Loving harder. Writing hornier. Having more fun. I’m gonna be so kind to my neighbors, bitch.
