It's really an odd feeling to realize in your late 40's that your cynical 15 year old self was right all along.

Beyond terrified right now. Beyond disappointed by institutions giving into trans genocide. Awful fucking world
Same here. Sickened to the core.
Are you on social media? Because I would just quit. All of it (except the PRF). It’s engineered to make you read shitty, bleak, hopeless stuff compulsively.

That’s exactly what he just did. Honestly, him being autistic only excuses his total lack of social awareness so far.

it becomes illegal for me to exist in public
My youngest (non-binary) just group-texted my family about 30 minutes ago:
“I guess I don’t exist”
And then they went back to playing Animal Crossing.
16-year olds shouldn’t have to worry about their government hating them for just existing.

I’m only on a couple, instagram and bluesky. Instagram I mostly just follow people I know irl and post pics/memes and get info on local events. But going offline isn’t going to help when I lose access to my medication soon and it becomes illegal for me to exist in public
Sorry to hear that. I hope you’re living in a place that isn’t going to cooperate.

Melania was on some real Magic Mountain shit.
She was totally vibing David Bowie-level androgyny. I sorta loved it and hope (but doubt) it was intended to be a middle finger at her husband.

Was that her in the Hannibal Lecter hat? Trump's proposed action on "birthright citizenship" should impact Barron, whose mother was here illegally. But it won't.
