Not actually Batgirl.

If this account were a book, it would be a spicy, queer manifesto with a side of sarcastic footnotes and a oatmilk Earl Grey latte with lavender syrup.

If you're walking around terrorizing Jewish folks under the guise of being pro Pal**tinian liberation, the really bad news for you is you're just an antisemitic piece of shit who's trying to polish a turd with righteousness.

You can be pro Gaza and NOT be an antisemite.

VP Harris was a solid candidate. She had been a DA, the AG for California, a US Senator, and a VP! I mean, from any objective standpoint, that’s a stellar candidate.

There was no fucking time for a primary and she was the only one who could touch Biden’s campaign funds.

Stop making excuses.
America has a MORAL crisis. I STILL can’t believe that godless devil got reelected. The Democrats didn’t take the threat seriously enough and here we are, Biden was too old and Kamala wasn’t a strong candidate. There should’ve been a mini-convention. We saw it coming, except Democratic leadership.

My brother was just two years older than Tatiana Schlossberg when he died from Ewing’s sarcoma.

My heart hurts for the Kennedys. (But not RFK Jr - he’s part of the fucking problem.)

I am getting a corticosteroid injection in my shoulder next week. I chose to do no anesthesia this time.

Can I drive myself home?

I have two days to find about $1300.
Important mtg with DHS that requires a translator, whose services are not cheap.

This is the 3rd such mtg, the first of which were unsuccessful due to I.C.E. and D.H.S. lies and rule-breaking.

I got accused of “purity testing” because I criticized Roan for eulogizing Bardot.

Apparently people like me are the reason Trump won
December 30, 2025 at 12:01 AM
Trump is talking about pardoning Netanyahu and far leftists are mad that their favorite singer is getting some mild pushback.

🤦‍♀️🥴

AMAZING how much grace is given to white women when they fuck up, as opposed to, say, a Black woman running for office.
December 29, 2025 at 11:22 PM
Really annoyed at some very vocal white queer people right now.

They won’t tolerate any criticism of this particular singer and it’s bullshit.

Bardot wasn’t just racist, she was also hugely bigoted.
December 29, 2025 at 11:07 PM
I mean, all of our faves disappoint us at some point or another. But Bardot was beyond disappointing, she was ATROCIOUS.

A reminder: Russia doesn’t want/need Donbas; it isn’t historically/ethnically special. Ru wants all of Ukraine. Receiving the heavily fortified Donbas towns it couldn’t conquer for 11+ yrs on a silver platter from Trump would allow Ru an easier 2nd march on Kyiv. That’s what Pu is focusing on now.

OK, but for real. The SU still isn't working, isn't getting offers, and still can't claim unemployment for reasons unknown because he hasn't received ANY communication from them and he can't get a hold of them. Ever. IT'S BEEN NEARLY 3 MONTHS!

Calling them trolls gives them an out for their racism and gives you an out for not calling out racism.

Even if these weren’t real ppl (they are btw) your response calling them out needs to be seen. It tells us we may be able to trust you in our fight.

The death toll from USAID cuts is in the hundreds of thousands, a lot of them children. This on TOP of Trump backing up Netanyahu and Putin.

I’m really sick and tired of certain pockets of leftists accusing US of supporting genocide just because we voted and endorsed Kamala Harris.,

Stephen Miller has major little man syndrome.

He’s not only wildly evil, he’s ragingly insecure.

He’s the type of person who would absolutely plaster his Mayflower/Revolution genealogy all over his specialty gold wrapped Cybertruck.
