Still feels weird that the same band made "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" and "Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)"

It's like if Smash Mouth and Fall Out Boy were one band.

The Offspring are honestly a contender for the funniest punk band ever, made even funnier by the fact that Dexter Holland is pushing 60 now and has a PhD in virology.

Like imagine being on an academic committee and reviewing a dissertation on HIV protein-encoding genomes and it's from a guy with frosted tips whose greatest legacy is the Crazy Taxi soundtrack.

That's the Offspring.

The hook from "Come Out And Play" was created because Dexter Holland was doing lab work and did, in fact, have to keep certain petri dishes separated while disinfecting them. So he kept saying "gotta keep 'em separated" to himself while working, and it stuck in his head so badly that it made it into the song.

A role model for all of us indecisive people who want to do and try anything and everything.

Dudes healthcare is so fake. My ADHD meds are $940 without insurance. But they gave me a website of "coupons" which straight up looks like a scam website, and I got it today for $60! Just a coupon from a random website and it was $900 cheaper. America, I am confusion!! America explain!!

For all my uninsured judys out there it's for Walgreens only: walgreens.rxsense.com

as a pharmacy technician i can share with you some websites that give you those "coupons" for your meds!

goodrx is the most well known one, but if i'm trying to find the cheapest price for a patient i compare it to scriptcycle, and use whichever is offering the best price. you just type in the medication (PLEASE make sure you're getting the right drug, dosage, and quantity) and your zip code and they will spit out some offers for you

some pharmacies may have their own discount card to compare to as well!

if you are getting a name brand medication, you can also look at the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any evouchers for you to use too

good luck out there 👍

"Isle of Death: Experiments in NO-Futurism"

zine / digital collage, 2020 - 2023

"NO-Futurism is an attempt to capture the overwhelming technicolor hell of the present day. It is angry and despairing all at once. It is jagged and harsh on the senses. It worries violently about the ultimate fate of the human race. It makes a mess of everything. It breaks down in the corner of the room, hyperventilating. It is chaotic, claustrophobic, brutal, scrappy, junkish, vibrant, burnt-out, bleak, cheap, electric, eclectic, esoteric, and, above all else, utterly doomed.

NO-Futurism is a world with No Future"

Unfortunately I wasn’t around for TDOV but I’m still fucking here and I’m still fucking queer and I’m still filling conservative’s souls with satanic fear.

Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now

He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.

For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.

Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.

He’s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor

Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going

For those of you wondering what he’s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that he’s been missing while he’s been talking.

He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like they’re going to bug out of his skull so I don’t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.

NJ Democrat senator Cory Booker takes the floor in protest of Trump/Musk, "saying that he will keep going “'as long as I am physically able'.”

“I rise with the intention of disrupting the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able,” Booker said at the outset of his remarks. “I rise tonight because I believe sincerely that our country is in crisis.”

“In just 71 days, the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americans’ safety; financial stability; the core foundations of our democracy. “These are not normal times in America. And they should not be treated as such in the United States Senate.” -source

I am posting this at 2:30am EST. He has been speaking since 7PM EST. This link (at this moment) is to a live stream.

FUCK YEAH, JERSEY!

So very proud of my state at the moment.

Reblogging and adding the livestream link from Senator Booker's YouTube (the other one was glitching) . It is almost 4am. He is still going STRONG. If you are watching and plan to go to sleep, turn the volume down and leave it up so that the "watching" number reflects the involvement of people supporting him.

If he can LITERALLY stand and protest as a single voice, we can keep it playing and symbolically stand with him.

Senator Booker is on Hour 13 and going STRONG

Yeah! That’s what I’m talking about. No business as usual! Slow the Fascists down! He should get some Democrat colleagues to join him so they can periodically cede to each other and spell each other off to keep it up longer!

STILL GOING! If you can open up the livestream to show support.

Folks, he's still going - and importantly, he's talking about his own shortcomings, his own failures and the things he wants to do better because he knows he fucked up the last time.

If your disdain for Democrats has been rooted largely in their reluctance to meet the moment, then I heartily encourage you to watch the livestream — other Democratic senators are asking long-winded "questions (which is part of the rules and allows Booker to take the occasional break for a drink of water or to rest his feet or whatnot) and helping however they can.

Booker's going to hit 24 hours at 7 pm and it's worth watching a few minutes, don't you think?

this is my calling.

fr though punks, go check if he's still going!

He is still going and he is an incredible orator. This is incredibly fucking powerful and raw. This is the power of words. This is the power you have as people.

I am a man who believes in the power of words. I am using those words to tell you about Senator Cory Booker.

I am being inspired by Senator Cory Booker, a man who believes in the power of words. He is using those words to tell us about John Lewis.

He was inspired by John Lewis, a man who believed in the power of words. A man who used those words to create good trouble.

go forward and make good trouble punks.

he has just made the record.

He made it 25 hours and a few minutes. I didn’t catch the whole thing but this was inspiring to watch.

And Dems (I think they were Democrats, I could be wrong about some of them) got up to support him. They’d get up to “ask him a question” and he would specifically yield for a question but retain the floor. He said it over and over. And the questioner would, more often than not, give an impassioned speech about something and then as his opinion or knowledge on the matter.

They’d give Booker a moment to rest and then a new thing to talk about. And frequently, before he would yield (but only for a question), he would talk about his relationship to the questioner and what their work meant to him.

Say what you will about symbolic acts but I was damn moved. Time to make some good trouble y’all.

This was more than a symbolic act. This was a man standing up for what he believed in. This was a man who was genuinely passionate about what he was doing. I wish all of america got to see even a half an hour of him talk.

This was an inspiration and a call to action.

I dont remember his exact wording. But one of his final statements was something along the lines of “This is the time to act and cause some trouble for the good of the country.”

I don't normally post photos or talk about the protest actions I participate in, but I was at the Chicago Stand Up For Science rally on behalf of my job recently and this sign took me out at the knees.

Casual shoplifting is something where people who don’t do it will either find it unbelievably impressive or think you’re a monster worse than someone who kills children for it. It’s fascinating
