I'm just a girl, caught in a tawdry affair with the written word. I bleed ink & cry whiteout. 75% GIF. Queer. She/Her.

I have had so many conversations about how they could have taken over AND kept the population happy by just...providing for basic needs. Like Lawful Evil exists, my dude. Could have Utopia'd us into quiet subservience, but nooooo. Chaotic Evil every damn time.
I will die on this hill. The opportunity to just make sure we all had housing and food was RIGHT THERE. We're so desperate for stability at this point, we would have GIVEN away our data or whateverthefuck they want so badly. I genuinely don't understand why Evil regimes can't just be smart about it.
My 5yo is telling me she can't go downstairs because she's afraid of Shia LeBeouf. I shouldn't be laughing but she keeps asking me what a cannibal is.

No I don't want to "quickly hop on a call with you". I want to bump into you at random on a rain-lashed heath, nod at you in silent mutual admiration as we watch a buzzard gliding smoothly over a dramatic chicane in the river, then get the fuck on with my day

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.
the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBS—oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.
They don’t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

Crockett: "Now my colleagues want to be the protectors of girls & women. I didn't hear them screaming this when Renee Good was killed in the middle of the street by the same people the vast majority of you just voted to give more money to. It was a lot of crickets, including about the Esptein files"

I've never had a slice of cake that didn’t make me hyper-aware of the fact that I could have had pie instead.
Guys, I really need to talk about something dumb and meaningless. What's a universally beloved sweet treat that you think is just mid? For me, it's meringue.

We have been hearing this over and over about our phones, but I've been lax about it with my laptop and now I need to turn off biometrics on it because convenience isn't worth it.
The FBI was able to access Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson's Signal messages because she used Signal on her work laptop. The laptop accepted Touch ID for authentication, meaning the agents were allowed to require her to unlock it. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

It's been *three days* and I feel like I'm in an old YouTube video. My mood has been in the TRASH and I just know if I have a piece of cake I'll feel so much better.

Been putting it off for ages, but since I feel so helpless in the world, I'm focusing on something I can control (at least a little)--my health. Actually doing the low-FODMAP diet, instead of randomly cutting things and hoping it fixes me. The girls will be thrilled.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

An official from Roosevelt High School in Minneapolis told MPR News that armed U.S. Border Patrol goons came onto school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people; they handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.

Govt is a regulator of business. That’s one of its many jobs. That’s why corporations don’t like it, that’s why they’ve maintained this ‘govt is inefficient’ for a century. Govt is not a business, it regulates business.
