Sometimes when I haven't taken my adhd meds, I don't even get a whole song stuck in my head. Sometimes it's shit like a 10-second loop of a single line "now where is the one that you called god?" sung to the tune of the Oompa Loompa song.

Then he was a terror for the scariest things around now!

Aww, sweet cat! A bit naughty, but cats can be like that and yet we still love them!

My cat got scared by the other cat as he jumped to catch a toy so she leapt onto the couch and dug her claws into my chest, which knocked over my mango smoothie and also made me scream, which scared her again so she leapt onto the counter and knocked over a pot and a glass of paintbrushes in water, which made everything clatter everywhere and scared her again, then she ran into our bathroom and hid in the tub.

Then my partner said “wow, glad she didn’t overreact.”

Oh, I do appreciate the wordplay!

It certainly looks like that with the rich.

Now these people want to turn themselves into Gods, just to keep up that capitalist drive of making more and more money!

Just make your art, it's enjoyable to create, it looks lovely, and plenty of people love seeing the art!

Zoe was painted für Gallifrey One this year. The prints didn't sell well, but I loved making her. Perhaps she can get some love here!

Aww, cat!

So much for Trump spending his time working to help the American people. He poses and enjoys himself while Musk is the one really running the government, under the guise of government efficiency.

And so much for saving money! I suppose that it's fine if it's on him!

And he cheats at golf too.

Donald Trump has reportedly spent an estimated $10.7 million worth of taxpayer money to play golf since his inauguration. This is happening as Head Start programs have struggled to access previously approved funding due to Trump's illegal impoundment. Hello?

Seeing everything in terms of business transactions is grotesque. It is very telling about Trump's mentality, and why having a government run like a business is a bad thing.

Meanwhile, Trump and Musk churn out lies about Zelenskyy being a dictator, and clearly take the side of Putin. It is utterly horrific to see.

The premise of American foreign policy to Ukraine, today, is one of grievance. As the American president, vice-president, and national security advisor constantly repeat, Ukraine, the victim of a large-scale and criminal Russian invasion, must "recoup the costs" to the US taxpayer for aid received under the Biden administration.

It is worth patiently considering this proposition. It reveals little about Ukraine, but much about America in February 2025.

Trump just appointing himself the Chair of the Kennedy Centre would have felt like parody a decade ago. But here we are! No friends of culture, for all they talk about how they're protecting western culture.

Classless and tasteless. #MAGA

The Christofascists are eugenicists. They clearly do not care for the lives of others.

The 'all lives matter' MAGA pro-lifers are a Christofascist eugenics movement.

Exactly! Chris Kluwe has the support of a lot of us!

And as someone who works in a library, fuck the people putting up Trumpist stuff there! A library is a place for knowledge, not to glorify in ignorance and book bans!

And Trump does hang around with an awful lot of awful people doing Nazi stuff, like white supremacy and Nazi salutes!

Former Minnesota Vikings punter, Chris Kluwe, who was blacklisted from the league for standing up for marriage equality, speaks at a city council meeting where he calls Trump a Nazi. He is subsequently arrested and carried out by police.

In short, sell your swasticars!

[cynicalclassicist]

Ok, that was pretty funny.

[cynicalclassicist]

Put it out there that trans people of color exist!

what a beautiful day to remember that trans people of color exist and deserve better

[cynicalclassicist]

Well, the Doctor does kill a lot of people, but sure!

Oh, there it is. The silly old universe. The more I save it, the more it needs saving. It's a treadmill.

Can't beat Tolkien with that worldbuilding!
