The U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February.
A record number of Americans are withdrawing from their 401ks to cover expenses.
Americans owe $18.5 trillion in debt — an historic high.
Meanwhile, the wealth of America's 935 billionaires soared by $1.5 trillion in 2025.
“Golden Age” for whom?
Disney doesn't give a shit about queer people unless we're spending money. Remember that next time you go to Disneyland and buy a rainbow-themed Mickey product.
Pete Docter, Pixar, and Disney can fuck all the way off. "We're making a movie, not hundreds of millions of dollars of therapy," Docter says about cutting queer storyline from Elio. Like kids need therapy just to understand queerness. ew.com/pixar-cut-lg...
Omg I didn't realize that was Bobby Trendy. Of course I know who Bobby Trendy is. I loved The Anna Nicole Smith show!
And Bobby is reasonable.
Have you heard the theory that Bowie's death is what caused all this BS? And it's not unreasonable.
Is it fascinating or 1,000% expected? Let's ask the audience!
Marta and Ziggy Stardust were the perfect couple.
We must destroy capitalism.
I have said before, but truly the most beautiful human being to ever walk this planet (IMO) is Iman. We stan Iman in this house.
Steffi! I miss you!
I keep meaning to contact my assemblyman and senator and the attorney general's office to try to get them to stop this and I have been too busy (because capitalism), but I really must find time to do that this weekend.
I am three episodes behind on Starfleet Academy because I've been so overwhelmed, I haven't had the mental capacity for it and I'm not sure I'll be able to catch up this weekend — and that makes me sad.
The sides of the boxes of the new Nacelle Company figures of Crewman Peter Preston (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan), Captain Hikaru Sulu (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country), Captain Elizabeth Garrett (Star Trek: The Next Generation's Yesterday's Enterprise).
I've felt like crap this week and work has been overwhelming, but these figures came in today and I'm v excited! #StarTrek
I haven't been feeling great this week and I just want someone to take care of me and give me completely non-sexual cuddles 😭😭😭
Thanks!!
I know it isn't much (it's legit just four days of growth), but for the first time in my life I have stubble!
😈
Oh
Canon
Here's some *good* news! I can count on one hand how many days I haven't shaved my face in my adult life. Yesterday was one of those days: I was just too sick. This morning, I looked at myself and said: you know what, let's see what this looks like if I grow it out a bit. So! I'm gonna try that.
Yes, I highly encourage covering the fee! I donated $15 and paid the $0.84 fee.
Oh totally! And I definitely get more listening done in Libby than Libro.fm, but for when there's a book I can't get or I really don't want to wait for, I love that I can support local booksellers. (And that I am not using a Besos-owned app lol)
If you donate at least $15 to a library (or the American Library Association) by end-of-day today and submit proof of donation, @libro.fm will give you a free audiobook credit. Support your local libraries while also supporting independent booksellers! blog.libro.fm/librarylove/...
For sure! But Libro does support local, independent booksellers and is actually currently giving a free audiobook credit if you donate at least $15 to a library!
Yas!!! Today is the last day for folks to donate the cost of a credit from @libro.fm to a library for @libro.fm to pay you back in a free audiobook credit, too. (Bezos would never!) blog.libro.fm/librarylove/...
I shouldn't be spending $150 on a hardcover book but... I do kind of need this. #StarTrek www.kickstarter.com/projects/149...
An image reading "STAR TREK 60" against a nebular background. The "0" in "60" has a Starfleet delta in the middle.
I need to make a Patrick 40 logo in the spirit of the Star Trek 60 logo since we share a birthday.
"A monumental book, a must read." -THOMAS PIKETTY Capitalism A GLOBAL HISTORY Sven Beckert Author of Empire of Cotton Capitalism by Sven Beckert My listening supports Reparations Club Libro.fm
It's a long audiobook (44 hours), but it's worth it. In the time of media consolidation when the richest people on the planet control the message, this provides a wonderful historical perspective.
