I invented a perfectly balanced, cannot be improved upon sorting system for everything I've ever written. Everyone is either Trade, A Trollop, or a Guttersnipe. Also works as a pretty good replacement for Ladies and Gentlemen so long as everyone has a sense of humor and there's at least 1 other gay

A screenshot of chapter...17? 18? I don't remember but it's from an unpublished chapter of The Sky Is Falling and says

"First, I don’t give a fuck what your endless parade of Trade, Trollops, and Guttersnipes have put up with from you, you don’t ever again in your endless life put your goddamned hands on me like that in public!” Now Jack is the one who slams the door shut quickly."

This drunk ass old woman just tried to go down the goddamned wrong way up fucking 202 and then whipped her busted mini van around so fast she bumped up on the curb next to where I'm sitting while I'm cussing her all out of her name. This is the 4th person to try and go up the wrong side THIS MONTH

A shot of the intersection I'm sitting at. There are 3 lanes heading south right in front of me, a low median with a break for the crosswalk, and then two lanes going north.

There is literally a fucking crossing light ON THE MEDIAN as well as on the far side. You don't HAVE to see the fucking thing if you aim for between the crossing lights!

I just ..I feel like I have to prove I'm not lying. No one has accused me of making it up, why do I feel like I have to prove I'm serious? 🚨Content warnings 🚨 Disrespectful and uncomfortable handling of a temporary corpse 🤣😂

A screenshot of a work in progress, Time Consumer, story 15/20 of a series. It says

"On the phone Jahn has straddled Jack’s corpse and is petting it, whispering to it as he connects their wrist straps and begins programming so fast his fingers fly.
“James, I’m not a Time Agent and despite John’s best attempt, he didn’t turn us into one of their little outposts. I don’t give a fuck about the kind of future that’s keeps feeding my Jack to this man. We’re done selling hole now so y’all have easier paperwork in four thousand years.”

This guy right there. Is this an adult cicada? This is the pillar I watched one crawl out of it's pupa stage from. Maybe it's the same one! Maybe we're pillar buddies! He was born smoking weed with me and comes to end his life also smoking weed with me?!

A bug. It's kinda big, like at least an inch and a half long, with an iridescent body and bee wings but a moth kinda body and legs and a weird cartoon mantis head but drawn like it's a helmet and by someone who doesn't respect Mantises.

The same weird but from photo one (good description there) but from a more sideways angle

Y'all, I consider myself a Class A shitter; no shame to my game, public restrooms are fair play, a bush in the Ozarks will do AND I think it's funny. I have never shat a shit so mighty I had to call a toilet ambulance. My town needs more fiber!

A former ambulance that now belongs to a plumbing company. It hasn't been majorly repainted or anything it looks like an ambulance but with plumbing info and a picture of a little plumber on the quadfoil flower symbol ambulances have

Yes I'm ashy, yes I'm hairy but I don't care, look at this ladybug with chimerism that is hanging out with me while I smoke weed! Her right side is yellow if you see her from behind but bright gold from the front because the red bleeds in somehow

A ladybug on a leg that hasn't been shaved all summer because I don't feel like it. It's left side is bright ladybug red, the right side is yellow

A shot of the same bug on the same leg from above. Here you see there's actually red shading in the yellow side

From this angle the yellow side looks gold and bronze!

A beauty shot from the front. At this angle she looks completely golden bronze on her right side and bright red on her left. This bug is wildly pretty

Lol, I don't know if it's the bandana or the shades or both, but while I show up on the security camera, the actual AI system they're using cannot tell I'm a human being. Even when I'm moving. We tested it for the entire time we were eating. It would not recognize me. My vampire crime phase begins

A security screen at an Amatos (a pizza and sandwich chain in New England)
The system has recognized the faces of the men in the photo from the First Amatos more than a century ago, and my sibling holding the camera. We are both looking directly into the camera. Every human face is surrounded by a green square except for mine

More importantly, you are in the minority of white women, to the point where numerically you *require* the assistance of other voting blocs that are being invalidated at the moment. You can keep taking the warnings that white women need to get their girls personally OR you can get your girls

Another poll, showing that both boomers and white women who voted in 2024 leaned towards the GOP and nothing that supports the claim that white women in the boomer age range voted in larger numbers for Democrats than white women of other ages or frankly any other women period.

arnicaxross @arnicaxross.blacksky.app · 09/05/2026

By every metric, be it 'boomers', 'boomer white women' or 'white women' you are still incorrect and your insistence that your personal behavior is an accurate representation of your generalized voting bloc is the problem people are trying to highlight. You aren't White Women, you are A white woman

Cool. This is us. This is literally every adult in my house but me and that's because they denied my claim. They're talking monthly check-ins and adjustments. That's going to cost tens of millions more per year than they take away from people

A screenshot from Propublica about the proposed cuts to the SSI benefits of anyone who lives with their family members. Yes really.

"The administration is working on a rule change that would deduct the value of a disabled adult’s bedroom from their SSI allotment, even if the family members they live with are poor enough to qualify for food stamps. This would mean slashing the benefits of some of the most low-income SSI recipients by up to a third — about $330 a month in Burton’s case — or ending their support altogether."

arnicaxross @arnicaxross.blacksky.app · 26/04/2026

Why are so many people so quick to jump to call this a false flag ... Can we just look at the pictures being released to the administration via Reuters? Just for a second? Can you see why people might not believe these assholes?

A screenshot of an article from The Independent discussing the shooting at the Press dinner last night. It discusses the manifesto sent via texts last night, but in the center is the officially released, via the white House to Reuters, image of the alleged shooter.

He's a younger man of indeterminate ethnicity. He lies face down on a patterned carpet lifting his head slightly. He has brown hair and a beard, both short. He is, for reasons not explained, shirtless. He is also, upon closer look, very clearly made up of composite images via AI. The next two images will be increasing closeups of this image highlighting the most egregious area, the torso/head/arm merges

A closer shot of the previous image of the alleged shooter. It is now much easier to see that this is not a real human being. The head and one forearm are the same color, the other hand is about two shades lighter, closer to the arm closest to the camera. It is very small compared to the rest of the body, not just in mass but literally the bones are not the right bones. It's the bare arm of a paler white person, probably a teenager or a young woman. The shoulder is a complete mess of polygons caused by combining the shoulder blades of at least three people at best guess. It looks like the original Laura Croft's shoulder.

A much tighter zoom of the again CLEARLY inhuman shoulder attached to an arm that belongs on a completely different person. It's first gen AI seven fingers and two rows of teeth bad

What the fuck do you mean we lost TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE MILLION boxes of oranges produced PER YEAR when you compare the 2003 harvest to to 2026 harvest?!

A screenshot from the article.
"In 2003, the mighty Florida orange industry produced 242 million boxes of fruit, with 90 pounds of oranges per box, most of which went on to become orange juice. Now, not even 25 years later, the United States Department of Agriculture was forecasting a pitiful 12 million boxes of oranges, the least in more than 100 years, the worst year since last. A decline of more than 95 percent"

I'm just going to go out on a limb here and suggest gently that if you think that going between your divorced parents house means you understand code switching, it is a sign that you don't. You understand that different places have different (potentially unfair) expectations

A screenshot from a user, image and pfp deliberately cut off.

A screenshot of an article published today by The Hill. The previous paragraphs are describing how a National news station has just shown Donald Trump the same footage of Renee Good's murder that the rest of us have just seen. The direct quote I want notes is "Well, I - the way I look at it..." Trump told the Times reporter before shifting away from his earlier rhetoric. "It's a terrible scene," he said. "I think it's horrible to watch. No, I hate to see it."
