NOEM: I would disagree with the judge

CROCKETT: I'm sure you would, but can you tell me whether or not you have a law degree?

NOEM: A what?

CROCKETT: A law degree

NOEM: No I do no-

CROCKETT: Okay

A couple things…

The “conflict“ in Iran *IS* a war.
It is a war of choice.
It is warfare without conscious.
It was unprovoked.

And I’m sick and tired of people suggesting & implying the only tragedies herein are that US Service Members have died. The people of Iran are innocents in this conflict!

RFK Jr. wants Dunkin’ to prove drinking its iced coffee is safe - The Boston Globe The warning comes as Kennedy is leaning heavily into his agenda to improve American diets.

This moron has no idea how much of a third rail this is. If he goes through with a public fight with Dunkin he will never live this down. In the words of my people "fuck ya motha."

Keep the U.S. out of forever wars! Americans overwhelmingly oppose the U.S. entering into war with Iran. The U.S. government should work to deescalate the crisis, prevent a full blown war, and not escalate tensions that put our nationa...

This is the very least we can do.

a cartoon character says i 'm shocked in front of a fence ALT: a cartoon character says i 'm shocked in front of a fence

So the Right is astroturfed by both agitators in other countries AND the White House itself? I'm shocked. Shocked! Well, not that shocked.

When they say how we'd all be better off without it. No, not all of us would. Losing social media reach is akin to losing employment for many of us. It was for me.

income for things like food, doctor visits, clothes, and other basic necessities. I gave up on my transition care years ago at this point. That's right. I've not been on HRT in two years.

So I get frustrated when I see multiple people in a single day talking about how social media doesn't matter.

someone in my position can do to generate income at all. My previous social media reach is the only reason I'm not currently unhoused or dead at this point. I'm fortunate enough to live in a situation now where I'm no longer constantly worried about housing, but the fact is, I now have very little

So obviously I've lamented about losing my reach on Twitter and then losing access to Threads entirely. I want to explain why reach is so important for someone like me. When you're totally disabled, as I pretty much am with my CFS, income is sparse and sporadic. Social media is often the only thing

Jeezum. I'm sorry Mona.

Did flagging completely remove your account again? I really hope not 🙏

Here's to hoping this time will be different! 🙏

A digital drawing of me, Siwen Shan (山斯文) in a "chibi" art style. This chibi style of me has light tan skin, large olive-green eyes, and dark hair tied in a topknot with long green ribbons. They wear a traditional olive-green wrap robe decorated with dark golden colored fan-shaped ginkgo leaf embroidery. The background resembles aged paper with faded silhouettes of ginkgo trees. Vertical Chinese characters are written in a warm olive color on the right side, from the top right, the "title" of the illustration, which reads 《银杏文士•山斯文》, translates to "The Scholar of the Ginkgo, Siwen Shan". On the bottom right is my name seal in the same warm olive color as the title of the illustration.

Three fan-shaped ginkgo leaves in shades of olive and moss green are centered on a square, cream-colored canvas with a subtle paper texture. To the right, five vertical Chinese characters are written in a warm olive-colored ink, reading 《青銀杏畫室》, which translates to Verdant Ginkgo Studio. In the bottom right corner, a small square seal contains the characters for "Siwen Shan" (山斯文), the same warm olive color as the title of the art.

A cluster of three fan-shaped, olive-green ginkgo leaves sits in the foreground. The background features a textured, aged-paper look with the soft silhouette of a large ginkgo tree and falling leaves. In the upper right, large calligraphy characters are rendered in a moss-green ink. A small moss green square seal containing the characters for "Siwen Shan" (山斯文) is located in the bottom right corner.

New poem and pair of artwork coming out tommorrow, along with an official rebrand launch. Stay tuned 🙏 💚

Dare I say... Love to hate and hate to love it? 👀

I didn't even know it was a thing either, but congrats! 🙏

It's disheartening how little community care and safety is discussed in the Trans community on social media. There are always calls to be loud and defiant, not even loud and proud, but never discussion of safety until the unthinkable happens to someone, yet again.

I read something on social media recently where essentially the post said that there's always that call for community and organization, but when it comes to the actual logistics of it, everyone shrugs it off. Being loud, defiant & proud w/o considering safety in all facets makes it all for naught.

The gasp that left me 💀

Abolish ICE.

There’s no reforming it.

There’s no compromise.

There’s only one way to rein in ICE’s terror campaign. Abolish it.

An unfortunate truth. I just held hope that because it's Palestinian-owned and partnered, it would be better. Time will tell if these things get better for these platforms, but I understand anyone who remains off these platforms.

Heads up for anyone planning to move to Upscrolled, there are reports of Trans women in particular being banned there en masse. I won't be over there at all.

:( why can't we have anything nice 🫩

PS: the new RedNote will be created at the same time I create my Upscrolled profile. An official announcement will be out on all these blog-based platform when that happens. Stay tuned through here, Threads, and Substack (not the newsletter version) until then. All still under the same username!

Hi everyone! Currently going through some changes... More will be teased/ released as time goes on.

Because of such, and with 小红书, RedNote's, "1 username change for life" rule, I'll create a new RedNote account once the change is official.

Stay tuned!

山斯文 💚🌱

Meta has been cracking down especially hard on anti-ICE sentiment. They've always placed a shadowban on anti-Genocide and pro-Palestinian content, but with everything that ICE has done, major platforms like Meta and even Tiktok have cracked down extra hard. I'm sorry they banned you :/

Seems like a good video for his trial
