Leftist living in a red state. Pretty much just gonna be reposts of people I follow and the occasional shower thought or political comment aka screaming into the void. Also into D&D and a few other TTRPGs. Currently studying accounting.

I've come to the realization that social media brings out some of my worst instincts and is harmful to my mental health, so I am leaving BlueSky. Goodbye all. Well wishes to most.

"Musk will never be arrested. That is a fairytale." This is just another version of complying in advance. We have to fight on every front, including the courts, because we don't know what will eventually work. Stop with the "don't waste your time on what you are doing, do what I am doing" BS.

I personally think "trans people exist, are good, and have rights" can, if you try, be more popular than "let's release insurrectionists to pursue their passions of child porn and crime" or "what if high school interns spent 17 hours a day destroying everything you depend on"

I couldn't help but notice that we have open tyranny in the form of an unelected rich guy taking over the government by calling in a favor from a guy who bypassed the Constitution to be President, and the 2nd amendment doesn't seem to have done shit all about it yet.

There are in fact, many good Nazis. The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi, and there are in fact a lot of those. Here's hoping for a bumper crop of good Nazis this year.

NEW: A Harris campaign organizer says senior officials ordered them to erase voters who asked about Gaza—marking emails as “no response” so they’d be removed from outreach. No engagement, no persuasion, just ignored. “The only clowns are the ones who decided to abdicate on this.”

Today I learned Peter Singer is trash. I remember studying him in college, and now I am blocking him on social media. Fucking Surreal. I didn't think much of utilitarianism then, and still think it is trash now, because it always leaves minorities behind.

Everyone blaming the people who didn’t vote/for Harris because of the genocide should absolutely shut the fuck up after reading this because the Harris campaign actively refused to campaign for their votes and that’s a campaign problem not a voter problem

100%. The most relatable Data ever was for me…
Four stills from Star Trek: Generations (1994) with Data and Guinan in Ten Forward. Data is trying a shot of an alcoholic beverage. 

Data: Oh yes! I HATE this! It is revolting!
Guinan: More?
Data: Please.

They're blackmailing the people who help find missing children. They are saying if you aren't willing to bully trans people, those missing kids can damn well find their own way home. The GOP hates trans people and loves actual child predators.

why are people allergic to pointing out that even if there were millions of trans women who were professional athletes it would be fine because the actual science on this shows not only do trans women not have an advantage over their cis peers, but that we have a clear disadvantage.

Anecdotally, the Dems’ attempt to enter Treasury on Tues broke through to the public in a big way. At least according to..the Mom-o-meter. My Mom before Tues: You’re doing what? Where? This can’t be a national emergency. Mom on Tuesday: WHO ARE THESE KIDS AND WHAT ARE THEY DOING WITH MY MONEY?

Think I will get a Flomask. Filters will last me 6-7 days for the same price as a disposable that is good for 1 day. Found out some people have a credible concern of police violence if they wear a mask, so as a white person I feel extra obligated to wear a mask myself.

Bullying companies into dropping DEI is critical for people who don't want DEI because barring government interference, companies that do DEI perform better. Turns out restricting your talent pool to cishet white men isn't sound business practice.

A screenshot of a Bluesky post by Sabrina McDaniel with the username '@sabrina-mcdaniel.bsky.social.' The post features a political cartoon showing a character labeled 'RFK Jr.' seated in front of a panel of four caricatured senators. Each senator has a label: 'Sen. Measles,' 'Sen. Polio,' 'Sen. Smallpox,' and 'Sen. Disinformation.' The senators are depicted raising their hands, and one holds a wrench. The cartoon appears to critique RFK Jr. and vaccine misinformation. The post is dated February 4, 2025, at 10:05 AM

Musk has made himself more memorably damaging to the interests of other billionaires and multi-millionaires than Trump destabilizing the stock market. He thinks he's untouchable because of his ego, but part of him knows he's already screwed. That's why he's moving so fast.

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

The more a product is a necessity, the more of the increased cost can be put onto the consumer. In economics this is called the elasticity of demand. What does this mean for tariffs? The more people need something, the more tariffs will raise the price of it.
