Man.

The world fucking is on fire.

So go be as corny and cringe as you wanna be without hurting people.

Live whats left of your only life.

If you can’t be free in your body at least go be free in your mind and soul.

Fuck the haters.

Support Us With a Donation - SAFE It can take a village to arrange an abortion, and SAFE relies on help from our supporters – people like you. People like you who believe, as we do, that everyone should be able to have an abortion if ...

EU policy might change someday. But today, someone in Europe is trying to figure out how to afford an abortion. A donation to S.A.F.E. will help cover:

✈️ travel
πŸ₯ procedures
🏨 accommodation
πŸš• transport
πŸ‘Ά childcare

Solidarity is lovely. But solidarity plus money buys abortions. πŸ’š

i actually think "books should be difficult and somewhat painful to read and you are Bettering Yourself through Struggle" is a worse attitude for mass literacy than "I have specific preferences and like reading a lot of fun stories" tbh

Tweet from Paula Scanlan that reads, "the number of people I still see wearing face masks in the year 2026 is genuinely concerning"

Tweet from Jerome Adams that reads, "Why do you care?  Honestly asking. I thought the original mantra was β€œto each their own.” It sounds like you’re wanting to impose your priorities/belief systems on others while saying they shouldn’t impose theirs on you? What am I missing?

Also, beyond Covid – many people have found wearing a mask, has lowered their allergy symptoms- and pollen counts are rising this time of year. And Asian cultures have worn masks for years – are you bothered by Asians? Again honestly asking.  πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™‚οΈ"

We can't choose if we don't know all of them.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet

Mark Lee Dickson is a pastor who helped end abortion in Texas before the fall of Roe v. Wade and he's intent on reviving a 19th-century anti-vice law as a federal ban.

Hitting desalination plants is so bad. Not just evil but strategically incomprehensible. Without desalination 75% of the entire population of the Middle East will be refugees. Israel and Kuwait depend on desalination for 90% of their water and other Middle East states aren’t far behind.

President Lula of Brazil: β€œMy message to the US, Israel and Iran is simple: the world is tired of your conflicts. Diplomacy is not a sign of weakness; it is the highest expression of human intelligence. Those who die are not the ones signing the attack orders; those who die are the innocents.”

Hey Baton Rouge and New Orleans folks, I think we’re ready to start looking for a home for Patches. He’s a sweet little guy, neutered, got his rabies and FeLV shots, and he’s a big fan of inside life. He’s FIV+, but I think he can be integrated with FIV- cats with training and supervision.

I just bought Gorillaz tickets! I also bought a ticket for a dear friend so I have support, but they don’t have an income right now. Would anyone be willing to donate toward the $94 cost to help my friend out? We’re both disabled and need each other’s support 😭❀️

There is a legal provision in immigration law that someone married to a US citizen can stay in the US while there visa is pending. Immigration officials have long recognized it to allow residency during the wait time. The DHS has just stopped following this part of the law.
