the secret "I'm just gonna pretend I didn't hear that" strategy is the one thing I think most cishet people don't expect about queer people's coming-out stories
so i thought when coming out to my family they would either love and accept me or they would disapprove and reject me. turns out there was a secret third option.

We need to end this myth that the private sector runs things well, and the public sector runs things badly, before it is too late. It is very easy to make the public sector look bad by starving it of money and resources over time. We must learn to see through this.

at some point someone gotta make a sociological studio on peoples bringing cucking paranoia on everything, because while straight men are radically more gross about it, i think heteronormative women also do this. having an ex? cucking. bisexual bf? cucking? shipping? cucking.
"Cucking" and its just 2 characters having a past relationship 😭😭😭😭

Can I just say,
It's 2027 in the Bay Area. You take a driverless Uber to the polyamorous meetup to chill with your bros. 40% of attendees have the measles

Karen Bass gave raises to LAPD, LAFD, and civil servants with no plan to pay for any of it. She also insisted on expanding the convention center with no plan to pay for it. It's going to take years to recover from all this fiscal mismanagement.
The kind of bad news you have to sit on until the day after polls close!

is it not more insulting to assert exploiting children with abusive contracts is inextricably linked to your culture
Multiple Korean news outlets have labeled The New York Times’ exposé on NewJeans’ contracts as “anti-Korean sentiment.” “The New York Times (western media) is actually attacking K-pop.”

you ever notice that people who don’t get defensive about their past mistakes rarely have to keep answering questions about them cuz no sound bite, etc ?? anyway, just randomly thinking.

Ok this should’ve be worded better (parents can absolutely “refuse” to pay for your college, it’s their money) but can we talk about how this is not a good system? How can you not qualify based on their income if they’re not helping you?
What are you actually supposed to do when your parents earn too much to qualify for need-based aid but refuse to pay tuition? Surely this is not uncommon?

Per this @zeteo_news story: Stephen Miller has privately told confidants he's afraid liberals will try to throw him in prison after Trump is out of power, and file lawsuits against him for years. Trump's elevation of him is a challenge: is Democratic leadership about it, or not?
🚨 Stephen Miller — now the new WH Chief of Staff — has repeatedly pushed to target a list of enemies, like Hasan Piker. + He's pushing for a network of "camps" to detain untold numbers of immigrants, indefinitely — ones too hard for a future admin to undo.zeteo.com/p/stephen-miller-t…

"A queer-identifying, pro-Palestine Democrat had to call out of work at midnight on election night after she beat a Republican congressman who paid for abortions for his mistresses in a Trump +24 district" would have gotten you a wellness check 72 hours ago
NEW INTERVIEW: Congresswoman-Elect Victoria Broderick (@Victoria4Tn) on her SHOCK victory in TN-4 “They came in and said ‘YOU WON’ — It was a moment of pure joy.” Victoria tells @Kanew about a win nobody saw coming. (She even had to tell her boss she wasn’t coming to work the next day) An openly queer “Free Palestine” candidate who backs Medicare for All, she only raised $45,000 (!!) but says the work paid off. As for backing Jeffries for speaker, she said she has not yet made up her mind.

In this vital moment, please remember: any politician proposing "body cameras" for ICE or police violence is not a serious person. The history here is one of the greatest achievements in copaganda in modern history:
THREAD. I didn't fully know what to expect when I started digging into over a decade of records, statements, financial data, and other information about police body cameras. I suspected it to be troubling, but what I found shocked even me.

unfortunately for children parents *do* have rights. custody laws, the “right” to assault children. escapees forced back to their abusers after a simple phone call to the police. trans kids denied healthcare. vaccine denial. this is the deadly reality of “parents rights”.
Indeed, parents do not have rights over their children, they have responsibilities TO their children. Children are not property, they're people-in-training and none of the responsibilities of a parent involve degrading their individuality.

There’s gonna be a big wave of “anti-woke” pundits who try to revive their careers against now that political winds are blowing the other direction again, and we really really don’t need to entertain that stupid bullshit again

they are only going to do the right thing if they're dragged kicking and screaming. they don't really want accountability for anything that's happened under Trump because it would mean their own actions might have consequences.
It’s time for ICE to take the masks off, turn the body cameras on, and start answering to the American people who pay for their bloated budget.
