I seriously want receipts and a detailed explanation for why healthcare, public housing, and education cannot be funded because we obviously have/had the money.

There is a reason I turned to online shopping: they take my money and leave me alone. I miss being able to just have a normal conversation with the cashier then pay, leave, and feel my dopamine rush from shopping. Now it’s regret from overspending.

It’s my one and only wish for the 21st century to actually eliminate this weird ass practice that doesn’t actually do anything except make us all cranky.

Trans people have had their IDs revoked.

How it feels to be American right now. We need the world to boycott us, to tariff us, to sanction us. And our sidekick, Israel.

Worse, one day you won’t even be able to check email, use google, or log into social media. If ID laws get passed for internet “safety” all our data and information will be used to suppress us. Kansas was just a test.

Time is the weirdest construct: on March 19th, 1918, Pres. Woodrow Wilson established a former of daylight savings to save on fuel. Plus somehow also created our time zones. In 1966, we got full blown daylight savings. Ben Franklin invented the idea but now we’re stuck with its stupidity.

Benjamin Franklin. Wanted longer daylight working hours to “protect” farmers or some such nonsense. Now we put all our selves at risk for heart attacks once a year to spring forward the clock.

New Hampshire is officially on my shit list of being fascist asshats. They passed a bill that bans trans people from using public restrooms by barring people from asserting their identities. What the actual fudge, NH? This means no one can pee in public.

Haitian man living in Boston dies in ICE custody, family says - The Boston Globe Emmanuel Damas died Monday from an untreated tooth infection, his brother said.

Emmanuel Damas' death was entirely preventable.

He died from sepsis. That started as a tooth infection while under ICE detainment.

I’m urging DHS for a full investigation into his passing, and demanding proper medical care for all who remain behind the walls of these inhumane detention centers.

As a sociologist I do not have enough PowerPoints and Expo markers to keep up with what’s going on. As a human being there is not enough compassion or empathy for us to see and understand what is happening around us. Either way, I’d like to put in for a drinking habit.

I fell asleep watching TV at 10:30, woke up at 3…disappointed to find I’m still in this shit timeline and didn’t get magically transported to one where we stopped bombing for peace and goose stepping for democracy. I guess back to sleep to try again. Sweet dreams y’all.

At some point all we will have left is total societal collapse and cat videos.

We have a running joke in my department that I’m going to end up on watch lists. Hopefully I’ll end up on all of them.

Laughter is the best medicine in a world where we are in peril from regimes that want us dead. - my grandfather in 1998

Men could absolutely become more sapphic and this might cure the toxicity right out of them

Union busting Mullin. Cowardly Mullin.

Psst, don’t get too distracted, the SAVE Act passed the House vote and is on its way to the Senate. If passed, millions will lose their civic voice in upcoming elections.

I learned the reason why I’m not getting accepted into PhD programs is because the study of fascism from a sociological perspective is not a recognized subdivision within the American Sociological Association. I seek to change this and give this perspective a voice.

Remind me again how we’re not fascists?
I’m anti-war. Pro-veterans rights.
This is vehemently disgraceful.

A Marine veteran at that who still, while audibly having arm and hand broken did not refuse to stop protesting. The actual fuck are we as a nation?

There is an arcade bar in Worcester…I’m about to spend all my money there.

Come at me, bubs.

Went from bitter cold to needing to put the air conditioners in the windows. Welcome to spring.

As an adjunct, I currently work 4 jobs. Each school I work at counts as one job. I still do not have enough to pay my bills. Let that sink in. I work as much if not more than my tenured colleagues and get paid 85% less.

US launches military operations in Ecuador The joint military operation with Ecuador targeted what the U.S. called "designated terrorist organizations" in the country.

Hey, while we were being outraged by war on Iran, the administration went ahead and said it wanted to stage war on terrorism in Ecuador:

What an iconic imagery we got here.

AI is very fragile against baseball bats and wrath. That’s my higher education philosophy against the AI takeover. Just smash the servers. Does it solve anything? No. But it makes me feel better mentally.
