A lot of my "followers" are middle-aged, white, "loving single fathers," so let me clear something up. I don't believe in traditional gender roles, trans lives matter, black lives matter, I believe women, and I'm a woke liberal. And if all that didn't work I'm already engaged to someone else
I just hope everyone knows that I bought these tickets to Les Mis weeks ago

No elected official Democratic party will be as cruel about Kirk's death as Mike Lee was about the death of Melissa Hortman.

—Charlie Kirk

Gun violence is not an inevitability in the US. Data-driven regulation can save lives. Will people see the benefit?

I'm amazed how I went from "just longsword lessons" to "I'll try sparring" to "a local tournament might be fun" to "I'll keep doing longsword tournaments, but I'm not branching out to other weapons" to signing up for my first rapier tournament in under 2 years. #HEMA swordfighting is fun y'all

A fun development in my #pf2e game: a member of the party is being told to "help her lead" and "she is the chosen one" by the voice in his head. Since my character is the only person who uses she/her pronouns in the party, everyone assumes it's me. #ttrpg #DnD

Unfortunately, I fear that no matter how hard I try, I will never be able to make a better #DnD based pun than when I made Tey Ksas, the horizon walker ranger

I can usually gauge my mental health by how well I take my losses during #longsword sparring. And seeing that I was audibly cheering for my fiancé because he successfully landed a point on me with a left handed zornhau, I'd say I'm doing surprisingly well. #HEMA

Observe that the one that complied and the one that didn't comply are treated exactly the same way.
Per source, NIH has been instructed to hold off from issuing ALL awards to Harvard, Cornell, Columbia, Brown, and Northwestern (including med schools)

Agency staff have also been instructed to not speak about this funding freeze to grantees and applicants

On a scale of 1 to 10, how unhinged is it that I'm starting rapier by learning Thibault? #HEMA #rapier #swords

We should all be terrified to live in an America where legal residents can be detained, held at gunpoint, or deported because of the color of their skin or because the President disagrees with their views.

The definition of who is and isn’t a citizen has changed over time and they have already shown their intent to roll it back, so don’t believe the illusion that you’re safer than anyone else
If you accept that non-citizens have no right to due process, you are accepting that citizens have no right to due process. All the government has to do is claim that you are not a citizen; without due process you have no chance to prove the contrary.

I feel bad for therapists right now, because there's only so much Lexapro can do given the current state of affairs.

Marco Rubio just made the argument, bold faced, not a mistake an intentional statement, that at any time the US can revoke your visa and then you are instantly here illegally and they can arrest you, deport you, torture you, all without any due process.

That means the United States is simply unsafe

When secret police agencies in other countries do what ICE is doing (abducting people off the street while wearing masks, throwing them into vehicles, transporting them to undisclosed locations, and not filing any criminal charges) we call it "disappearing" people.

That's what's happening here now.

All my #Hema club mates are talking about their goals for the upcoming tournament and it's all "make elim round" or "make finals" and I'm over here saying "not die?"

All 3 events that I signed up for are on the same day so RIP to my arms.
