harbinger of spring

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

Somewhere in America, a young Hispanic girl is hiding in an attic writing a diary.

I genuinely cannot express how vital it is that you train yourself to recognize AI-generated images and videos for your own good because none of this is going away and many, many people are counting on you to fall for their shit

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

Things that don’t have to be reiterated in most countries:

i may be sensitive but you're mean and that's worse

women should be weirder and more off putting

The argument that Land Back is ethnonationalism in the “blood and soil” vein is especially shoddy when one looks at the origins of “blood and soil” and see that it actually has a lot in common with settler colonialism versus anything to do with Indigenous land relations.

the crows know. that’s all i’ll say. 🐦‍⬛

Greta Thunberg and the Flotilla have made their last stop, they are now less than 1000 miles from Israel

Sometime within the next 6 days Israel is going to try to stop them

The people of the world stand with them, it's time the Governments did, they must be protected

I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy

if u read this, you're gay

civility is for fascists and i aint no motherfucking nazi

When Pierre Poilievre claims Charlie Kirk was killed “because he expressed a contrary point of view,” journalists have a duty to ask which point of view he means. Make him quote one.

"Bluesky is boring."

Social media *should* be boring. Being algorithm and dopamine poisoned is bad, actually.

When your feed dries up for the day, that's your cue to go do something else until new stuff shows up later.

white fragility is seriously dangerous as fuck and more people need to deconstruct that shit

when y'all are done getting payment processors to support adult video games, can you do something about the fact that sex workers who get flagged for "illegal activities" get banned from essentially the entire US financial system

“Why do people find me annoying” probably the things you say and do

Computer, stop telling me things

Online age verification is not like "showing ID to buy alcohol" because

a) the liquor store doesn't get to scan your ID and store a digital copy of it forever in a database that will inevitably get hacked

b) you don't have to show ID to go to the library because they have cocktail recipe books

we have to stop the innate urge to split things in half. another tenet of yt supremacy culture is either/or thinking. decolonizing doesnt mean colonized/decolonized, it's a false dichotomy. reading la paperson and they demonstrate that the decolonial already exists even within colonial contexts.

please pleaaase exclude me from any anti/proship narrative because frankly idgaf about that and my media consumption and literacy is nuanced and not limited to whether a fictional ship is morally correct or not 🙏 so if you care about that when curating your online space feel free to sb me

If a marginalized person corrects you or calls you in and your response is "well, actually" -- you are 1000% not an ally and need to go sit down immediately.

There’s a subset of predominantly yt queers who seem to think if you follow all the rules and do what the straights want that they’ll be nice to us. This is pretty evidently false when given even a cursory investigation.

If assimilation was liberation thered be less black and Indigenous people in forced displacement.

collective Liberation is not the girl scouts. you don't get patches or sashes for every little achievement. a lot of yall need to interrogate the part of you that needs external validation that you're "one of the good ones" -- this individualism is a core tenet of yt supremacy culture

good morning and happy weird girl wednesday

too many want recognition.
we, however, want justice.

Jonathan Joss (Comanche, White Mountain Apache) did not simply die from a gunshot. He was murdered in a homophobic, racist hate crime by his former neighbors. He died saving his partners life. Honor his legacy-- both queerness and Indigeneity are inextricable to why he was targeted.
