Between monkeypox and the ongoing nightmare that is the U.S. political system, sometimes you have to find reasons to laugh instead of crying. The trial of Alex Jones has provided plenty of fodder for that.
Reading “intimate messages” that passed between Alex Jones and Roger Stone might turn gay men off sex long enough to halt the spread of Monkeypox. https://t.co/ERHWBTAA6c

Meanwhile, the parodies are almost too close to the truth. But what can you do when reality is this ridiculous?
Republicans in 3…2…1…
“527,999 of the 528,000 new jobs were taken by trans people who snuck over the border and their new job is to take YOUR guns!!!”

And get that vaccine no matter how long the lines are.
Trying to get a monkeypox vaccine appointment in NYC is giving me flashbacks to the nightmare that was trying to get concert tickets on https://t.co/GWTyzRRafm, only now it’s a concert I don’t want to go to but will go if I ever can because it’s better than getting monkeypox

Because it’s an absurd world, but it’s the only one we’ve got.
Case in point: A writer recently blocked numerous trans folks – many of whom had never even heard of the author – apparently because they liked a tweet she found distasteful.
Caught up in the mass-block? A Lake Mead parody account.
Lmao she blocked a lake https://t.co/lgby3Dpp5O

Of course, that lake is trans, so there’s a certain twisted logic in it.
Clearly Lake Mead has always been trans since I was assigned land at birth then made a reservoir through some damming surgery.
