I am reading about Hollywood in the 20s, 30s, and 40s, and let me tell you, I now understand why white historians have worked so hard to keep that history focused on the white people because these people were racist as FUCK. It is hard to surprise me with racism. I have been black my whole life. I grew up on a farm in rural Alabama. We weren’t allowed to play outside in the dusk because white boys would ride by and throw bottles at us.

And when I tell you I am AGHAST, lmfao

I have discovered Help! I'm in a Secret Relationship. The premise of the show is that people call the hosts and the hosts do an investigation into why their partner is "hiding them."

There's a moment in each episode where the person dramatically asks, "WHY ARE YOU HIDING ME?" The first episode I am watching is about a gay couple. They have been in a relationship for four years and yet CJ has never met anyone in Charles's family.

Every time CJ asks about, Charles doesn't speak to him for days. They are BUYING A HOUSE.

I've thought about this a lot. Like, since I was a child.

And I've come to the conclusion that there is simply nothing heterosexual about Christ. Like, there is not a single heterosexual explanation for a single thing about him. I mean, the Abrahamic religions in general are kind of fruity, but Christianity especially, like. You out here thinking about a sky father while you do EVERYTHING?

I'm sorry, that's gay.

Sorry, I know it's rather futile to express this, but it actually makes me feel insane that Mike Pence signed that bomb with a warm message of support knowing that hours later it would be used to kill children. Like, I'm sorry, but I feel totally deranged by that image. To be clear, it is not surprise. Nothing about that is inconsistent with America's ongoing stance or actions, but there is just something so arresting about the image. And he knows what they will be used for. Indeed, that knowledge is the very thing that makes him want to sign it

I don't usually make my body things other people's problem and I actually have largely neutral feelings about my body which is a miracle considering how this world hates fat people, but the way y'all are so casually cruel and vicious about ozempic is kinda fucking me up, lol I don't know if you guys realize this, but you have developed a really bad fatphobic idiom around ozempic that somehow lets you degrade people for taking it in a way that's still calling them fat, it's weird.

One of the wildest things about bedbugs their relatively high rate of genetic mutation makes them able to withstand the negative effects of inbreeding, which is why their infestations get so bad so quickly. I guess it's not actually clear how they maintain enough genetic diversity to avoid the deleterious effects of the inbreeding. So we know for sure they are mate with their siblings and parents, but we don't know how they can do that for five generations without going Habsburg up.

What are we doing. What.

Me and who What a name.

I was supposed to start a medication one month ago that I still have not taken because of nothing to do with me and everything to do with someone else’s mistake and the cost out of pocket should I choose to take it upon myself is one thousand American dollars for 4 doses. It took a month just to get a prescription my insurance would fill, okay, but they sent it to a pharmacy I’ve never heard of and now they’re trying to say “sorry, we’ve already filled it this month, try again in July for your next dose” bestie, what is going on.

Guys propublica.org/article/ugly-t… GUYS

I find it so curious that people mention that Neely is a victim, but then go on to say, he isn't THE ONLY VICTIM in this situation.

It's a rhetorical move that keeps happening and I wish people would sit with why they feel the need to do it. And then you spend the article talking about how if he had been incarcerated, it could have saved his life.

Oh it’s time to block her. She is simply wilding on this internet. I’m about to commit a gender crime on Cate Blanchett’s internet so it is time to let go, lol.

Okay, but you can't just murder someone on the subway. Am I bugging? Like??? Although this whole saga has been yet another illustration that in the American moral calculus, the purpose of criminality is to create social death and also actual physical death.

Just saw someone call the Pope woke if you were wondering what stage of language losing all meaning we were currently in. Like, which part of the Pope are we talking. Like, the temporal part or the spiritual part.

Kathleen Tillotson, a new fave of mine, writing in 1955 about the 1840s and also now The person who had this book before me was very interested in gender so I might have to get a different copy because I don’t know if I can live with the little Venus signs drawn into every margin every time a woman comes up, lol

God getting bothered because his disaster twunk ex flirted with someone else and throwing humanity out of the garden of Eden is so funny to me but I get it.

He really was like “my love is vast but you gotta get the fuck out. Enjoy the pain and torment. But I’m not mad. Haha. It’s fine. But when are you leaving.”

GUYS. Just encountered the notebook of my dreams at kinokuniya Oh my god

For...reasons, I am reading about the caning of Sumner, and wowee. They HATED him.

We learned about it in school, but the teachers made it seem it like he gave him a little tap or something. Not beat the man bloody and unconscious in this country's halls of power, lol. It's too bad that America fundamentally is too afraid of facing the horrors of slavery and The Civil War because we could get some really good period dramas out of the 19th century, lol, so instead we get Great Plains cowboy cosplay.
