It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

Serbia’s student-led movement has delivered a historic election upset, ending 14 years of rule by Aleksandar Vučić’s party. Millions celebrated across Serbia and Europe.

"Not every dickpuncher is a problem," reports Dickpuncher Times, a publication of particular interest to dickpunchers and people devoted to dickpunching, financed largely by dickpunch ads. Finally, a nuanced take on everyone's dicks being ruined forever by all the punching. What a blessing.

Incredible. Thank you, Brazil. Thank you, Serbia. Fighting fascism happens at the ballot box as well. Please, here in the U.S., here in Texas — GO VOTE! It matters. If it didn’t, they wouldn’t work so hard to stop you.

Y’all. I don’t know what to do with this. Someone on Facebook made a shitty joke about women, I called him out on it, and…he apologized? Deleted the post? Explained why with kindness and empathy? Is this hope for humanity that I’m feeling? That must be what this is. It’s so unfamiliar.

Forgot the update on this. Received a spam call the following day from a Montreal area code.

Early voting opens today, Texans!

Selling a sentient being is slavery.

You’ve been seeing very large #bumblebees on the wing for the past while. Why? Okay I’ll tell you why in this quick thread if you promise to #repost as the more people who know that these are queens the more likely that someone will help some out meaning more colonies next year. Deal? 1/15 #bees

Y’all. Y’ALL. The Wilhelm Scream has been released under CC0 license. I’m gonna murder a henchman so hard..! #audiodrama #horrorpodcast freesound.org/people/qubod...

Jesus wept.

Yeah, actually, I am going to vote for harm mitigation. I’m going to choose the lesser evil because — read this bit closely, now — the other evil is greater. Sorry for party rocking or whatever.

Duuude. HEARTTHROB SLASHER is coming to Los Angeles + livestreaming, on October 23!!🔪🩸 Me and @marawilson.bsky.social play a 1980s board game full of hunks, and then improvise a horror movie where they all perish.🧛‍♀️ Tickets on sale now, go get em!🎃 calendar.dynastytypewriter.com/shows/heart-...

I am spiritually leaning against the hood of a 2003 Honda Civic in a Wendy’s parking lot after having disastrously cut my own bangs. This should not be this good?

Did not think I would -- or my children would -- ever hear an American leader go to the United Nations and muse aloud on whether or not to annihiliate another country. But then, I didn't think I would hear and see so many things over the last decade. We will never remove the stain.

Right now, a VP is spittle-flecked screaming at a marketing team member who presented a loving, respectful, well-researched National Hispanic Heritage Month campaign and was completely ignored despite multiple attempts: “Why didn’t we post at the start of Mexican Month?!”

What’s it like inside your head?

Well. Maybe Brexit didn’t just mean Brexit. www.hindustantimes.com/world-news/u...

🚨 BEWARE of VoteSafe.org 🚨 While it bills itself as a “safe” way to register to vote, it is actually a digital surveillance machine created by Elon Musk’s super PAC.

And then sometimes you’re working on a noir/horror hybrid and @rookriley.bsky.social says, “What if you set it in Vegas?” And now here I am with an ex-showgirl detective caught in the middle of the Mafia vs. cosmic horror. I know the best people. 🥰

I am NOT sniffling because there’s a whole Insta account that posts Jacob Wysocki’s regular guy riff every day. YOU ARE. www.instagram.com/youarearegul...

…excuse me while I turn into dust and blow away on badger-scented digital winds.

Yeah. That tracks. That fucking tracks.

Well. Fuck.

This is some of the best historical fantasy out there. (It's a secondary world Rome with magic, but the setting hews a lot closer to our own world than most "secondary world version of country X" fantasy.) And $2.97 for a whole-ass trilogy is a crazy good deal.

We all want art made by folks who care, but yeah, this ain’t it. Getting a little too “guess who I think I maybe saw at the Devil’s Sacrament” of late.

Had my third ever migraine this week and I don’t know how y’all chronic sufferers survive. Anyone who calls a regular-degular headache a migraine is a major schmuck stolen-valor style.

The only surprise is that he didn’t insist on Lake Trump.

Fuck. This. Week. I’m going to try to remember to be kind and sparkly for Dolly, to be fearless and bombastic for Tim. But right now I just want to curl up and not be. Gimme a couple of days. I need a couple of days. Please.

dolly parton was many things, but what i think resonates so deeply is that she was kind. ACTIVELY kind. when i talk about proving love, this is what i mean. ACTIVE kindness. ACTIVE love. it can be easy to dismiss kindness, but i think the reaction to her passing shows it is not at all a placeholder

“We will not see her like again.”

Hey. Eat something good for your body. Drink some water. Move a little bit. Speak kindly to yourself. Like the man said, “your self-destruction doesn’t hurt them / your chaos won’t convert them.”

Genuinely incredible read.
