I know there are much bigger problems in the world, but this morning I heard the narrator of an audiobook pronounce “waft” with a long-A sound, and it really threw off my whole vibe for the day.

Me on this app: Amazing, so much resistance, such solidarity! We’re gonna beat these fascists!

Me after looking at a comment section on LinkedIn: Oh no, we’re fucked.

Hot tip: regardless of gender (yours and the other persons’), it is never cool to ask a random person if they are pregnant.

Seriously thought I was past the era of people asking me this invasive and painful question. #childlessnotbychoice

I’m not certain this is the darkest timeline, but it’s definitely the stupidest.

No good deed goes unpunished, apparently.

Admin lawyers out there trying to save American democracy by challenging Prez Cheeto’s exec actions, and NBC calls the Administrative Procedures Act “obscure” and “wonky” lol

This obscure law is one reason Trump's agenda keeps losing in court
Lawsuits challenging Trump policies raise big constitutional questions, but they also rely on a law that requires the government to follow the correct procedures when changing course.

But *how* do I become ungovernable?! Sadly, I am not a natural punk.

Being socialized as a girl in a high control religion + undiagnosed neurodivergence = conflict-avoidant rule-follower.

I need to work on more active RESISTANCE, not just letter writing and showing up to marches.

You know how some people will use up all the milk except for that small amount at the bottom so they can say they left some for everyone else?

That’s what billionaires do with the economy.

The guys who want NO regulations have never had to rely on OHS standards to keep them alive at a dangerous job, employment standards to get basic benefits, banking standards to keep a bank from gambling away their life savings, or food safety standards to make sure their food doesn’t poison them.

Political hellscape aside, I’m enjoying this moment in history where a Canadian MP shouts down a fascist bully with numerous f-words. #strongasfuck

Listen, an important part of Twitter in its heyday was that when you had insomnia you could scroll a constantly refreshing stream of unhinged new tweets by people who also had insomnia. We don’t seem to be there yet with Bluesky. #cantsleep

I should be sleeping and I’m sure I’ll regret posting this.

Wasn’t part of the whole Yahtzee thing that moustache man was charismatic or something?

How are this round of fascist overlords the most cringe human beings ever? Ew.

As a child of the 80s, I was anxious a LOT about house fires, people burning styrofoam in campfires, and the impending threat of World War 3. It’s oddly comforting to know now that those fears were rational.

The unparalleled gall of blaming “DEI” for absolutely everything while at the same time nominating the most incompetent, inexperienced, perverted and criminal gang of fraudsters since god knows when.

Current events remain a bottomless pit of horrors. So I don’t know why I was shocked to see US gov sites now using just “LGB”. But I still was. #LGBTQ+ #2SLGBTQIA
