I couldn't get past "...he is truly sorry for what occurred that night and for all the pain and suffering that it has caused" Abusers thinking of their actions and choices as passive things that happened, it makes my blood freeze

Long shot: Do I know anyone on here who's good with audio design / audio editing? I would like to hire someone for a tiny project -- a one-minute loop of spooky ambient sounds, like using stock audio -- but it's gotta happen today, as the deadline is tonight. I had someone but they totally flaked.

thank you The New York Post for what may be the funniest image of all time
a picture from the NY Post titled "	today’s leftists are possessed by the spirit of France’s 18th-century guillotine-loving revolutionaries" (way too long) that shows Mamdani (the specter haunting Europe) smiling in the sky as a bunch of French people goof around

Jennifer Nelson’s entry to this year’s Minnesota State Fair crop art
A localized version of Guernica with a loon at the center and a person holding an ICE OUT sign 

“My piece was inspired by Picasso's Guernica, a work that was his response to the Nazi's bombing of the Basque town. I thought there was a fitting parallel between these incidents about the high price paid by ordinary people when aggressive regimes try out new tactics of war, as well as a fitting juxtaposition of the darkness of living such an experience and the light we shone through it in our own resistance and care for one another. The patterns near Renee Good and Alex Pretti’s mouths are actually their last words in Morse code: ‘I’m not mad at you,’ and ‘Are you okay?’”

Their best defense against the growing challenge from the left would be simply to meet the moment and act more aggressively against Trump. If they just did that, half the energy behind DSA challenges would dissipate and they'd be safe. But no, they'd rather punch left in a panic.

saw this post years ago and will never ever forget it. sometimes you need to tend to the place from which you create, before you can create again
Screenshot of a tumblr post by user aureliobooks that reads: My dad likes to call the stretches of time where you’re not creating “dreaming periods” and says that they’re meant to allow you to absorb all of the beauty, life, and inspiration from the things around you so that when you’re able to create again, you will have fanned your spark back into a flame. Sometimes its hard to see those moments as anything but stagnation, but he always says that they’re natural and healthy and needed—things that should be embraced rather than feared.

The first time I went to a food pantry I felt shame and that I didn't deserve help. I still go, but now I'm angry and ashamed that we waste as much as we do, and that the people with the least get some of the worst, and are expected to make do with too little, and prostrate themselves more for it.

Quintessential Trump: In 2025, Trump axed the program to combat New World Screwworm, stating that they had "saved" $1.5 million a year. In 2026, the Trump announces a $1 billion emergency program to combat the Screwworm outbreak. $1 billion would have funded the old program for 667 years.

Pope Leo at Barcelona Prayer Vigil: “In our societies, the idolatry of profit, the frenzy of always having to produce and be winners, as well as the cult of one's own self-image, are nothing more than anesthetics to numb our conscience and adapt it to a certain idea of society.”
