It happens every ten years in Texas ordinarily

I’m sure someone already tagged @hayao.lol right?

Today I strung together my first full real sentence (albeit with a comma splice) in Ukrainian while talking with my coworker friend:

Так, але думаю що, чому то ця пісня нова для мене, не люблю цю пісню, мені подобається ця пісня ☺️

Thanks :D

For a limited time, if you buy resistance badges and send me a photo of them on your car within three weeks of receipt, I’ll donate the proceeds to the Trevor Project.

Yesterday, I replaced the Tesla (the unit of magnetic field strength) with the Ohm (the unit of resistance).

It’s my first time manufacturing an art project of my own design.

Sic semper false Dmitry

Ahhh when did Matt Yglesias become the arbiter of abundance? Repealing parts of CEQA that led to the homelessness crisis is not the same as ignoring the climate crisis. We can work on both problems at once.

It’s also worth noting that this is NOT generally a good strategy for resistance movements: property and violent crime both tend to turn the center against resistors.

Why aren’t people talking about my GRE score

The left: I hope the rest of the world understands that many of us didn’t vote for Trump and don’t support him.

Also the left: Maybe Texas should have thought twice before they voted for Trump if they didn’t want a bunch of kids to drown.

Wait, CREMIEUX was the source for this bs? Daaaaamn

Paraphrase aloud and try to understand what they’re saying and where they’re coming from. It all starts with listening, with helping people feel heard. We have no choice any longer.

Divided we fall.

On this Independence Day, reach out to those cousins you’ve been afraid to talk to because of their politics. Don’t even argue with them. Just ask them questions and listen to their answers. 3/

One thing I’m learning is that autocracy is found in the attitudes of people on both sides of the aisle — and until we can learn to embrace one another even in our disagreements, Trump will continue to exploit our divisions to prop up his corrupt, incompetent regime. 2/

I don’t know what to say today. I haven’t felt this scared for my country since 2007, when I and my friends survived the then-worst mass shooting in US history, at Virginia Tech. 1/

Yeah lemme check back in with her and see how her progress is going

They are trying to erase us from public life. Make no mistake, this decision won’t “untrans” anyone, but it’ll definitely unalive people.

Today, the Supreme Court voted 6–3 that Christian nationalist ideology trumps the rights of trans people to receive medically necessary care. The ruling applies to children, but it’s a blueprint for expanding such bans to adults.

Highly recommend this interview with @chenoweth.bsky.social.

“There’s no…magic number. But there is a theory of change, which is the main function of civil resistance movements is to mobilize with sufficient mass, with sufficient momentum to effectively begin to disrupt the opponent's coalition.”

There are a lot of reasons it feels hard for me to visit South Carolina, but I’m not mad about the enormous raindrops and thunderstorm sound effects happening right now.

After all the crap about TikTok spying, we all knew Meta was doing this but also JESUS

That’s the butt

Everything reminds me of her

A Solidarity Protest in San Francisco Turns Violent

I will repeat this ad nauseum: violence gains us nothing but the enmity of people who are undecided. If we let them provoke us, we will almost certainly have the police state people fear, the police state Trump wants.

see, the thing *i’m* genuinely worried about is that RFK will effectively ban vaccines

This is a pretty important point!

I just had a very bad dysphoria day and then as I was walking out of the grocery store parking lot this guy yelled out his car window, “you too fine to be walking by yo self,” and I know a lot of y’all hate cat calls but that was exactly what I needed just now.

Protestors: let’s burn some waymos
Me: Wait you guys at least read @chenoweth.bsky.social’s book—
Protestors (burning another Waymo): !!!!
