My mind being filled with negative thoughts at 1am but then the Sonic "Don't trust how you feel about your life past 9pm" image flashes in my head and I realize I'm fine actually:

one of the stranger parts of being an adult is realising how many people have never questioned a single belief they inherited, not even out of curiosity.

I think its bc we measure adulthood through independence while making independence increasingly unaffordable. Ppl end up interpreting their economic dependence as evidence of personal immaturity, then seeking the social leniency we afford children. It's a strange feedback loop.

In January 2025 my mom’s lung cancer spread to her brain. The drug with the best chance of helping her was approved in China but not here. A doctor told me, almost as an aside, that if she were Chinese she could buy it at a pharmacy. So I flew to Shanghai and came home with 26 boxes in my luggage. That was 19 months ago. My mom is still here, still working, and in her words has had an amazing three years. The drug was approved in China in 2023. The FDA approved it in July 2025. It still is not for sale here. I know of at least 30 Americans who have made the same trip. I have been scared to tell this story because I worried it could cost my mom access to the medicine keeping her alive. But the problem matters more than my silence. These drugs need to be developed and available here, and that means FDA reform. Art Allen at KFF Health News told our story this week. It also ran in The Washington Post. kffhealthnews.org/health-ind…

"I don't mind trans people, I just don't want their existence shoved down my throat" Brother, it's conservatives shoving trans people down your throat. They can't shut the fuck up about them. It's every political podcast, rally, and advertisement. It's all they think about.

The literacy crisis isn’t that people can’t read the words. It’s that they can’t understand the context, infer meaning, recognise nuance, identify contradictions, or draw logical conclusions from what they’ve read

Everything in Indonesia is endangered. These rainforests were the most IMPORTANT to protect BEFORE the fires!🚨‼️ Now it is beyond critical, the majority of these animals will go extinct this decade if we don’t act! The entire WORLD needs to band together to help Indonesia! 🦧🦏

basil, this isn't a game changer. it's a dog whistle. you're telling british citizens, born here, raised here, who've never known another home, that their passport is worthless. that they can be sent "back" to a country they've never set foot in. you're stripping citizenship of all meaning and handing the state the power to decide who belongs. that's not patriotism. that's authoritarianism wearing a flag

I find it odd that Bettany is just annoyed his name was mentioned & not embarrassed/sorry that he suggested drowning Heard in a swimming pool. They didn’t say they were current besties they said they were close friends at the time of the texts/abuse which was true.

Do not trust the polls. Vote and encourage everyone you know to do the same.
CNN's Harry Enten gives James Talarico (D) a 70% chance of winning the US Senate race in Texas.

THE DAY SHE REALIZED THOSE MEN HAD BEEN LYING TO HER ABOUT WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENED IS THE DAY SHE WENT TO THE FUCKING POLICE. STOP USING STATEMENTS SHE MADE BEFORE LEARNING THE TRUTH AS PROOF SHE CONSENTED TO ACTS SHE DIDN’T EVEN KNOW OCCURRED. YOU BITCHES ARE FUCKING SLOW.

And in another account this woman said “we’re all consenting adults here.” and in another account she said, “there’s a rumor I’m a slut—and it’s true.” And there’s another account of her saying this is what happened in “Mideaval times.” She can say “I wanted it” 100 times and…

She never consented to sex with a room full of men, consent can be revoked at any time. The other men knew she was high and passed out, per the group chat, and still chose to do what they did. That’s what they “worked with.” There’s no partnership. Hows this hard to understand?
