Lefties - I am looking for pen recommendations! I like using a variety of colour and prefer a bigger pen nib (around 0.7). G2s smear a little too much for me, but I use ‘em anyway. Lmk your favs!

The only thing that sucks about living in New York is that I’ve gotten too sassy (read: direct!) for many of my southern (southeastern) U.S. friends. But the fact that I live in a place where I can be direct and others are direct with me fuels my neurospicy soul.

I’ve been investigating Paramount’s deal with Trump. Here’s what we know:
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library
- Paramount has a billion-dollar deal that needs Trump’s approval
- Trump sued CBS
- CBS called the lawsuit “meritless”
- Paramount (owner of CBS) still settled, handing $16 MILLION+ to Trump’s library

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.
America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.
Watch and share his message.

I am so appalled and disgusted with evangelicals who have bought into the “Christian” nationalist movement. I left evangelicalism long ago, but it completely breaks me to see friends who say they follow Jesus but don’t give a damn about others.

Processing some deep
Trauma (with a therapist) and am experiencing the lows that come with that. Has anyone else experience the lows that come with the processing (it’s like I’ve forgotten how to human) before the breakthrough?

Appeals court rules that the president can punish a news outlet based on the content of its coverage by denying it access that it has had for generations. If the decision stands, it represents a major blow to press freedom @zjmontague.bsky.social @minhokim.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/06/06/u...

RFK Jr. went on Fox News and lied through his teeth.
He said they weren’t cutting critical research.
Terminated grants so far have included studies on cancer, Alzheimer’s, HIV, and tuberculosis.
Ohio researchers lost funding for kidney disease and TB projects.
This guy doesn’t care about health.

In an absolutely devastating ruling, the Supreme Court has allowed the transgender military ban to go into effect.
This is shocking - the ban explicitly called transgender people dishonorable for being transgender. It is as clear as day soaked in animus.

Narcissists want people to be at their level. They use cruelty on others hoping that their enemies will give in to their own dark impulses.
They want permission structures & justifications for their cruelty.
Musk called his critics evil.
Booker showed that this is 0% true.

Buy physical copies of books, especially banned books. Plan visits if you can or download/back up picts of places you’ve been. Journal about your experiences and about what’s happening now too. We won’t see the end of this in our lifetime and we need a record of what is happening.
