Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
He just looks evil. Sad, mean, and straight up fucking evil.
This. He always just looks clenched with rage to me, like a petulant child who doesn't want to let go of a temper tantrum, and it always baffles me that his electorate looks at that and sees alpha confidence. As opposed to three not-at-all-random contrasting examples, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama, all with the confidence and poise to move through the world with kindness, curiosity, and thoughtfulness.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
“Let’s see, I’ve got wax and plaster, I think I’ve got a propane torch to melt the gold…” All while I was giggling and melting from competence kink.
I'm giggling from happiness for you.

Our wings are not tired.
Man. Just ascend already.
Please! You know he practiced that mug for hours to get exactly what he wanted. It was his first post to Twitter X since his account was reactivated last year sometime. (about the same time I deleted mine)

Reader, I think I just might marry him.Yay!
I "shouldn't even joke about that" apparently. Why not? Being serious hasn't worked!Just because online randos have mislaid their sense of humor doesn't mean you have to be a Serious Disability Advocate at all times. Molly Ivins would totes support any and all joking.

Yup. And yup on him practicing it in front of the mirror. "Gonna look STRONG and ANGRY and LEADER, because people love it when LEADER growls in pictures."

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm giggling from happiness for you.
Yay!
Thanks! There is no timeline, to be clear. We have a lot of shit to figure out and work through before any question gets popped. Boring adult shit.
Yes on Trump as looking and acting like a petulant child.
My friend K (Heather’s cousin) said about Giuliani’s mug shot, “That’s the face my cat made while shitting in the Uber on the way to the vet today.”

The one that got me was Trevian Kutti—she looked like she was about to split open her face Pennywise-style and pull the photographer's soul into the Deadlights.

I've seen Twitter posts comparing Trump's mugshot to either the Blue Steel look from Zoolander or the classic Kubrick Stare.
