Cranky Queer Guide to Chronic Illness

A moch up of Spotify wrapped “my top songs” where the album covers are blacked out and read “NONE :)” with one letter per album slot. The text meant to be the artists and song names read: The boycott (it’s not that hard) Fellas,, please (he gives the artists bread crumbs) Daniel Ek donated €600m (^ spotifys CEO) To military AI defense (PLEASE UNDERSTAND HOW BAD THIS IS) Stop using Spotify (they ran ice recruitment ads) A fake link at the bottom reads: Spotify. Com/ boycott

Oh hey, would you look at that? I love #spotifywrapped! This is the perfect time for us to all be posting ours. :)

You listened. We counted. Creepy Spotify ad

When you post your #SpotifyWrapped, you’re not just doing free advertising for a company that exploits artists, recruits for ICE, and invests in AI war machines.

You’re actively celebrating the fact that you’re being surveilled and participating in your own surveillance.

Maybe … don’t do that?

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

So this woman is being interviewed, gently, about the salacious memoir she wrote, and then can’t talk about what she wrote and falls back on the damsel in distress tactic? I cannot believe how do may people elevated her and continue to do so.

I was just in San Francisco and saw real cars with real drivers having to go around Waymo car that stranded itself in middle of street. Lyft driver later told me one time he got stuck behind Waymo on 1 way street that was waiting for a trash can on side of street to move.

It’s just bad idea.

“Many of us have…learned 2 accept that our friends & loved ones have lingering, persistent coughs. I notice it mostly in the lull between songs in a live set. People seem genuinely puzzled that they’re now sick all the time, & not just getting sick more frequently, but being hit harder, too.” #COVID

... & legacies of harm reduction at play. For me personally, this manifesto made me feel implicated in being too quick to judge or critique others, & I have been glad at several moments of frustration, anger, & despair to have Davids’ words to return to as a reminder of the hard work of solidarity."

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

We're about a few days from the president calling us the n word n on Truth Social. And that's going to be another day in America that gets brushed under the rug so he can get away with his next outrageous thing. He's nothing but an old racist who thinks the only people who belong here are white.

Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.

The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.
