I made a bluesky account for when tumblr goes belly-up

I’m not using it at all yet except to follow people on tumblr who have shared their pages, just FYI

The United States is currently in the grip of an outbreak of the Cyclospora parasite, which causes severe diarrhea and has sickened more tha

What checking the news felt like this morning

[wilwheaton]

“A Wall Street Journal report revealed Saturday the Americans who voted for President Donald Trump have soured on him amid the economic fallout of the Iran war. According to the Journal, new polls by the Cook Political Report found that more voters disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy after gas prices jumped during the Iran war. The polls cited by the Journal found that 61 percent of voters disapprove of how Trump is handling the economy.”

‘You want to cry’: MAGA voters tell WSJ they feel 'horrible’ about voting for Trump 

Oh, you feel bad now? You’re miserable and struggling? You’re scared and unsure about what insane and destructive bullshit he is going to unleash on us at any given moment? Well, fuck you.

Fuck you. We warned you. The people who knew him best from his first term warned you. He warned you himself, through his increasingly deranged and depraved behavior.

And you fucking laughed at us. You mocked us. You called us names and said we were as deluded as you actually were and are. 

So, again, fuck you. Fuck you and fuck Trump and fuck maga. You own all of this. You did this to us. You deserve to have a shitty day; we do not. You deserve to struggle and suffer; we do not.

You never cared about his racism, his violence, his hatred, his predation, his 34 felonies. But suddenly, you care about *checks notes* the economy, because this directly affects you.

Go fuck yourself, Maga. You are not forgiven. You are not welcomed back into polite society with open arms. You are pariah. You carry a scarlet letter for the rest of your hopefully miserable lives, because you failed the easiest open book test in the history of the world. While we were doing the work on the group project called Democracy, you were doing a jerk off dance with a rapist.

So, and I say this with my full chest, go fuck yourselves. Maybe – maybe – you can make amends, but we’ve endured a decade of this nightmare you have trapped us inside, so maybe we can check in with you in ten years, and see how much responsibility you have taken, and how much work you have done to clean up the catastrophic mess that you made.

People need to be told this more often. Especially the wankers who keep supporting the billionaires. They're not going to give it to you.

I don’t think I’ll get the job but for a while I got to imagine working 3 days a week while getting paid for 4, and thinking my job is worthwhile again

Job interview soon so I locked the gremlins (my cats) in their lair (my room)

This is so funny. I’d kill all billionaires if it meant losing something precious to me

worst part of getting into the traditional folk music scene is that you will hear a song in the wild and fall in love with it, and when you try to find it online you discover that there are 900 different cover versions and the only non-terrible one is a recording of a church hall concert filmed in 2002 on someone's nokia

What stands out to me about the Mitch McConnell thing is just how little anyone around him actually cares for him as a person.

He goes down, ends up in a coma or brain dead, on life support, genuinely never coming back and even if part of him did he would be in agony from his cpr injuries. The best thing is to let him go.

But its not convenient to. His own *wife* runs away to China so they can't *make* her do the right thing and allow him to pass. She doesn't love him enough to override the political posturing. His own family is letting his abused half alive carcass get played with like a political doll while he's trapped in purgatory, as close to undead as one can be.

Not one of his colleagues or even any of his immediate family gives a single shit about him at all beyond what they can use him for. Its so grotesque I almost feel pity.
