It’s COVID all over again. He’s in a situation he can’t bullshit his way out of so all he can do is flail around and make things worse. Except this time the whole thing is his fault and literally all of his advisors are grifters and imbeciles

A lot of people really only care about making things better for themselves specifically and that's a problem we really need to find a way to address.

okay, naomy in boy drag is also doing it for me??

Toxic masculinity implies the existence of Oops!... I Did It Again masculinity.

worth remembering, David Lynch directed “fix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic “no mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

my thoughts halfway through drag race uk vs the world:

shanice 😍🥵😮‍💨

A selfie of the user (a tall, pale queer dramatic eyeliner and a silver mullet) wearing a Digimon paper party hat.

They’ve placed along their hairline to give the illusion it’s their own hairstyle.

this is, in my opinion, the most delightful piece of officially liscenced merch ever created:

yeah, I saw that yesterday, and it was the first thing that popped into my head when I saw @999happyhops.bsky.social’s post.

this thread also made me crave both chocolate-covered pretzels and the specific type of cookies from Atkins Farms i buy when we visit you, Amanda

yes!!! and MeltyBlend can hit the “cheap but tasty” spot, too

lovingly suggest hitting up your local Asian or European grocers for a superior chocolate experience.

A researcher found that only 30 out of 400 clinics offering #LongCOVID care in the US responded to multiple attempts to contact them to ascertain whether they still provide Long COVID care. Reported in @thesicktimes.org at clinics.thesicktimes.org

My experience has been... 1/

i never thought i’d have occasion to use this clip… sorry for doubting you and your luck.

i saw dan in How To Succeed during its broadway run, and you could tell he was just having so much fun.

jealooouuuuus!!

tbh he’s had such a strong arc post-potter. publicly pro-trans and just happy to be a weird little guy taking whatever rolls bring him joy… and it shows on the screen. good for him.

Trump Administration Quietly Moves to Strip Food Aid From Millions The regulatory change would impact an estimated 6 million low-income Americans — including nearly 2 million children.

USA is considered enough of a measles hotbed both my kids (who live in the UK) received extra boosters/got it earlier than scheduled when we went home to visit friends, with full-throated endorsement from our GPs.

The risk for babies who get measles under the age of 6 months to develop this within 10 years is 1 in 600.

NBC News poll Voters hold negative views of Al. In fact, the only topics less popular in the survey were the Democratic Party and Iran.

Truly a perfect news alert

They get mad when people on SNAP want to buy soda

we keep operating like trump flipped some kind of switch to make the gop more misogynistic and racist but this path has been clear since the 50s. you dont get here without goldwater, reagan, nixon, the bushes and mccain/romney. trump didnt come out of nowhere. the monster was always there.

I saw this come around about six times today before I finally truly grasped that it was a real thing

welp nothing like a trauma-versary to keep you up at night!

honestly, retail can be hell, but this job is genuinely wonderful (and fun) in no small part due to the wonderful folks i get to work alongside.

two close-up images of flimsy black cord masquerading as jewelry where the string snagged on the cheap gold o-rings

welp, after years on the site, i had my first poshmark scam. instead of a Free People leather wrap necklace, i got a shein equivilant so cheap the cord (not leather!) snagged as i took photos for documentation. my claim to poshmark was approved in literally 60 seconds, LOL.

the way i wish i could help you out!!!
