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.
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

That’s exactly what he just did. Honestly, him being autistic only excuses his total lack of social awareness so far.
Thinking about the other topic in C/NC where someone was arguing against the UHC CEO shooter with “who next, Elon Musk?” like it would be a bad thing

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.

Sorry to hear that. I hope you’re living in a place that isn’t going to cooperate.

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.
