TBH this is actually a pretty big watershed moment and whether he bends or doesn't bend to this ludicrous pressure will actually tell us a lot about where things are headed in the partyβ€” will the centrist frontrunner say something that isn't true just because a few groups ask him to?

Anything that contradicts the false idea that being happier = being thinner is a threat to some people who have yet to actually work their shit out.

For plenty of people, happiness results in thick thighs and a little bit of a belly

because i voted for kamala harris in chicago, illinois, in november 2024 i cannot be held accountable for anything the united states is currently doing. copy and paste this message into your profile so others know you are NOT responsible for the conduct of the united states.

things are bad but we still have the way Mitski hits the word "cats" when she sings "but I guess according to CATS now it's his house!!!"

Dick Durbin will also have to wait and see whether Hell is real. I hope he doesn't have to wait long.

You might think this makes Ryan Dim biased but the truth is he has encountered an individual or institution that could be described as "leftist but also a bigot or sex creep or union buster" that he didn't immediately rush to defend.

I try not to criticize trans women in the public eye unless they are actively evil. But in general: there is a type of person who combines being very uncritically welcoming to people who boost them or just share their interests, with unwavering loyalty to / defense of that person.

It’s so great that the official medical professional term here sounds like shitposter language. Dispose of the sharps carefully in case you get a red wet ouch!

When I used to tweet "Jack was a Nazi" it was in the same way one would say "oranges are orange" or "trans women are hot." Just stating facts.

AIPAC is targeting me because they’re worried I won’t go along with their MAGA-aligned agenda in Congress.

They’re absolutely right.

Honestly I feel like people *offline* are so worn down by stress and calamity that our baseline level of snippiness is now around what people were like on twitter ten years ago. So *of course* the baseline level snippiness on social media is, like, worse by a factor of ten.

I know we are all very very worn down and our nerves are shredded but I do not think this person deserves this level of vitriol. Now, your stuff about Ryan Grim, that's proportionate and I support it.
