when I hear people hacking on the homeless (not trying hard enough, just want drugs, freeloaders by choice, prefer to steal than to work) I wish I could explain to them how hard it is to act in your own best interest in a world that's devoted itself to enhancing your misery.
This National Guard thing. when my dad was drafted my mother, credit where due, did her best to beg and threaten him to leave the country, not go to war. He came back as one expects from war. He died in poverty with crushing depression in terribly ill health. Only through his unparalleled fibre

happy Friday from my friends to my friends. every time you accept me I get a little closer to who I'd like to see in the mirror

people with parents who suffered from narcissistic disorder are less unbalanced by what's currently going on because we already learned that the people in power will lie to your face that you caused the harm and demand you apologize for what you did

Here's some food provided free of charge to those making $35K but go on glazing this guy because it serves American self interest to pretend that the real victims are those making between $65K and $120k.

@rigamarock.bsky.social thanks for the chat, it's out of my head after three years

All you need to know about the author is how he brushes off the desperately poor to ululate about the plight of people making so much money I could save lives with it. Quote in next skeet. Yes won't someone think of the REALLY BAD OFF, those making a mere $100k???!??!!!!111??!1
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

I really like inventing Venn diagrams. I also find myself intensely amusing, in case you hadn't noticed.

precisely my thought. the president and his dumbass republican allies put these men and women into harm’s way for a political stunt and look what has happened
Whether this was random street crime or targeted political violence, I think it was bad for the president to unnecessarily put the National Guard in harm’s way like this. They simply don’t need to be there.

read the alt text. every time one of their paid ventriloquist dummies gets a cash infusion up the ass and burbles out, 'It's inevitable, use it or be left behind!' read it again. every time you feel like Ogre with his copy of Ulysses read it again and remember the names of the ringwraiths.

For scale: I spent eleven days in the maximum security wing of a local county lockup before a judge heard my case and moved me to min. I had one hour out of the cell a day. The cell was small. There was a speaker in the ceiling. By the end I was talking to the speaker and spending hours each day
Rejon Taylor was one of 37 people on federal death row whose death sentence was commuted by then-President Biden. This year, he learned the Trump administration was sending him to a supermax prison once called a “clean version of hell.”
Death Row Prisoners Granted Clemency by Biden Brace for “Living Hell” Under Trump
Trump officials are retaliating by imposing the harshest conditions in the entire federal prison system, including near total isolation.

and we're all out here trying to deal with the fallout of these bad actors corrupting the software running in our less resistant fellows
It produces a performative ecosystem. Actors aren’t communicating; they’re staging provocations for yield. The result is disordered discourse: signals detached from truth, identity shaped by escalation, and a feedback loop where the performance eclipses reality itself.

I think this is the first time I have owned a shirt from a place that no longer exists. It's not from the Line Of Great Worth, but I was not able to resist the novelty.

works in progress. In this case I'm going to be using ink pen for detail on a watercolor background. This isn't something I've done before but as long as I'm careful with my choice of pens I think it will come off #artsky 🎨

Urgent MSP #Caturday 🧵: these two handsome boys need a loving home as circumstances sadly force their person to part with them.

Bones & Basil are a bonded pair and need to stay together. Both are vaxxed, neutered, and very sociable. 1/
