My current most top thirst searches are, in no particular order:

1. Bowsette cosplay/fan art
2. Margot Robbie
3. Sandra Oh
4. All my hot queer mutuals' selfies
5. Tessa Thompson
6. Natasha Aughey
7. Jhi Yeon-woo
All four of the adult ensemble in Birds of Prey = very yes but Margot hits the same buttons that Lori Petty wired for me in the 90s. I am 200% helpless. The useless lesbian meme come to life. Sweet mother, I cannot weave.
I told you this account was going to get hornier.

On the stock market... sometimes I see people saying "We should abolish the stock market, it produces nothing."

I think if we abolished the stock market, it would come back in some form. It answers a need. I also think it's a very beautiful thing, marred by the flaws in society.
The stock market is fundamentally a very democratic idea, distorted by other aspects of our economic thinking. It's basically human society in the abstract, the idea that we can do more and have more when we pool our resources, work together, specialize.
Let's start with a premise: labor is entitled to all that creates. If we return to a fabled State of Nature and you pick a berry, you have a berry. If you make a flint knife, you have a flint knife.

If someone kills you for your berry and your flint knife, they have them.

Okay, now for the thread that really WILL burn down my life:

A number of Bernie's fans -- by which I don't mean the small subset of toxic ones but a larger subset including sincere, well-meaning ones -- think that mentioning his liabilities now serves no purpose but to hurt him.
Multiple times today I have seen someone replying to a tweet about his comments on Cuba and Castro or the aforementioned column with "But why bring this up? Are you trying to help Trump?" as though these were all long buried secrets unearthed by the tweet they're replying to.
Imagine Bernie is on the ticket and the column about gender roles and fantasies had come out into the open in October, the way the Access Hollywood tapes did.

If that were the case, I think there's a good chance it would tank him.

Good for him! They have literally no legitimate reason to exist. They were founded to be a Central Intelligence Agency, a clearinghouse for all intel that could see the big picture.

Remember 9/11/2001? We had to found DHS because it was determined no one was doing that one job
The CIA absolutely should be abolished, as part of a realignment of our intelligence structure that ALSO abolishes the DHS, as that agency has also chosen to focus on being literal supervillains instead of minding the store.
The National Security Council is the closest thing we have to the "big picture, eye on the prize" intel corroboration body but as we're seeing clearly today it is too subject to byzantine vendettas and agendas and too easily subverted by a rogue executive.

🎉🖌️🎨 2019 Time Capsule in oil paintings ~ Remember what we were going through when I painted these? Top 20 paintings from 2019, no particular order.
🎩20 "Gator and Snake"
We see the snake in the swamp, but there's a bigger monster behind it.
On website: nataliebuskethomas.com/gator-and-snak…
🎩19 "Angel Carrying Baby to Heaven"
Sad one to include in the New Year's Eve theme, but unfortunately 2019 will be remembered for this.
This is my protest painting against infanticide/late-term/organs/etc that outraged sane America- & is an ongoing battle. Empathy for our grief.
🎩18 "Peace through Strength"
President Trump's (& Reagan's) foreign policy, but also a spiritual truth as well. Song for this video by our own indie artist on Twit @ROCKINGANGELBMI - listen to the lyrics. Webpage for this art: nataliebuskethomas.com/censored-artis…

Top 21 songs of 2019. Day 1.

The year started with a surprise of a new song with @ChesterBe on the vocals (1.5y after his death).

Mark @MarkDuaneMorton Morton - Cross Off ft. Chester Bennington

Every day for the next 21 days I will [hopefully] be adding one of my favorite songs of the year to this thread. In no particular order. Follow the thread if you care about music tastes of some random middle-aged dude, or mute it if you don't.
Top 21 of 2019. Day 2.

@yungblud is probably the youngest on my top list this year. I could technically be his father. And this song is ageist AF. Still love it. See how open-minded I am?

YUNGBLUD - Parents

It is #InternationalPodcastDay and it has been awhile since I shared a list of my favourite podcasts. I Marie Kondo my list quite regularly. But at any given time, I have over 50 podcasts on my list. So here are my Top 10 these days (in no particular order).Enjoy!
1. My go-to podcast on a historical narrative on current politics is The East is a Podcast @east_podcast by the irreverent @UrOrientalist - sharp commentary, never bites his tongue and weaves loads of archival material. I never miss an episode.
2. As I currently live in Europe, I love keeping up with news on the continent. @EuropeansPod is a weekly take on European politics by a journalist based in Paris chatting with her opera singer friend based in Amsterdam. Smart and light-hearted with a liberal take on Europe.

ℹ️⛽️ #JáNãoDáParaAbastecer
Ok, não resistes e decides tornar-te THE magnata do combustível do teu bairro! Sabes que cuidados deves ter?
Antes de mais: só podes abastecer 60l por cada recipiente, e só podes levar 240l dentro do teu veículo ⛽️ℹ️
ℹ️⛽️ #JáNãoDáParaAbastecer
Os combustíveis libertam vapores, e dentro de um veículo podem causar uma explosão ou um incêndio.
Sabes o que é que acontece se houver uma explosão ou um incêndio dentro do teu veículo? Morres. Assim de simples. DEP. Paz à tua alma ⛽️⛽️
ℹ️⛽️ #JáNãoDáParaAbastecer Se tiveres um acidente, porque vais com pressa para mostrar todo o combustível que tens, ao pessoal do bairro, o mais provável é o teu seguro não cobrir isso. Sabes o que acontece? A tua conta bancária morre. Assim de simples. DEP. Paz à sua alma ⛽️ℹ️

I think half the trouble with the Sanders left is they don't know the difference between an issue and a problem.
Consider a problem the Sanders left doesn't care about. Racism is a problem because it's something we cannot solve by passing legislation, in fact, there is no readily available solution, no fix we can see other than "don't be racist" which puts the focus on individual not system
But there are all sorts of issues that could address the problem and make it less severe and oppressive. Here are a few:
1) Universal voter registration
2) No disenfranchisement of felons
3) Accurate census that counts prisoners in their communities, not in prison locations
