Glorious Liberty

Hey, they're awfully cute!

And it becomes a way of enforcing gender conformity in all sorts of ways—it’s literally a Dykes to Watch Out For cartoon from 1995

I like these undefeatist attitudes. Thanks @karenattiah.bsky.social and @chadstanton.bsky.social

For what’s worth: As a liberal arts school graduate, folks were making fun of my education as useless long before Twitter took off.

And they were, of course, always hilariously wrong: I use my education every dang day.

“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” -Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

And it’s on every cis person in this country to fiercely have trans people’s backs in every macro and micro way, now and always. In the bathroom & in the streets. When they’re present or not. Everywhere.

You weren't here for the Alf memes, were you.

It's all tied together and don't let them trick you into thinking it's for safety

It is very important work to report on the news, and I am grateful to reporters still doing that. That said I would prefer to read it in private at my own pace and without group discussion that would be disturbed by my deep sighs and other sounds thank you

They should be required to start an independent nonprofit foundation like Mozilla.

FWIW at this point I am more convinced than ever that the Tim Walz "These people are weird and they are bad neighbors who won't mind their own damned business, now let's get back to how we can make things better" would have worked and I don't know why they didn't run with it.

What if you emailed them with excitement about their interest in learning about your organization? With some links to articles that will illustrate the biblical basis of your open and affirming positions on various topics? And some information that a person joining your church would want to know?

To take a slightly different tack, if people label themselves as missionaries then I have no problem whatsoever with evangelizing *to* them. What if you assumed that they want to meet with you because they want to learn more about a more generous and welcoming and creative God?

Shame on the California Academy of Sciences for cutting the youth program because the kids passed out flyers supporting the Museum Workers' Union, who have been without a contract since unionizing last year.

This irks me to no end. Do NOT talk about my people if you will reduce us only to needing us to keep things cheap! That is NOT being an ally. That’s just willing to sacrifice us for capitalism.

don _hertzfeldt Not to sound like a curmudgeon, but when I was a teenager, I took the train to go to the record store to find rare stuff. Spotify is way more convenient, but that wasn't the point. The point was to get out and to feel like you're hunting, to feel like you're living your life. I'm going to the movies, I'm going to this show. What streaming has done-it's very convenient, but it's taken the feeling of going hunting and turned it into we're all just being fed. We're all farm animals that are just being fed, and we're being fed content. You can just stay home. Just stay home. We'll just feed it to you. No wonder everyone's depressed.

This hit my weak point for massive damage

Georgia Dismissed All Members of Maternal Mortality Committee After ProPublica Obtained Internal Details of Two Deaths In a letter, the state’s public health commissioner said the action was taken because “confidential information provided to the Maternal Mortality Review Committee was inappropriately shared with outs...

I know everyone is talking about Matt Gaetz but please don't miss this:

Georgia fired every single person on its maternal mortality review committee. Why? They didn't like that reporters found out that the state's ban killed two women www.propublica.org/article/geor...

If you aren’t listening to the poor, the suffering, and the vulnerable, you will never hear the voice of Jesus.

You know, if that was my neighbor, I would be concerned about drug use.

It's a lovely thought but I have to point out that I have been in far too many offices that would not deserve a cat.

Bad press is water. Small actions are water. Small drops do "nothing" but together they become a flood.

Be drops. Be water.

every time a Nazi shows up with this slogan (or a NRA gun-fetishist), just remind them what Jesus said:

"If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even their own life—such a person cannot be my disciple."

Alabama is planning to execute another man, Carey Dale Grayson, with nitrogen gas today. In allowing the execution to go forward, the courts have largely relied on the accounts of state officials — accounts that stunningly contradict what I and other media witnesses saw during Miller's execution.

I think today's the last day of this offer so grab them while you can - and of course buy from the authors/donate to haymarket if you can, too.

I'm a few chapters into Let This Radicalise You and it's already building up hope and strength for the better worlds we can build.

This is why it's just my husband's job to supply me with chapstick, it's easier and also I get to kiss him. 😁

I've been here for probably over a year, though I took about 6 months off due to other stuff going on in my life before this new boom. I've got lots of great folks on my follow list of you're looking.

Friends don’t let friends compare Christian nationalism to Sharia Law or the Taliban. Christians already have a great comparison: the KKK and the 3rd Reich (among others)

Don’t make me tal the sign meme. The sign says “if we don’t make it dangerous to be a Nazi, they’ll make it dangerous not to be “

It's a good advert for the product because we are all talking about it ofc. But the human-in-the-loop aspect of ai is very underappreciated. Would this be a good way of producing it if the usual methods were impossible? Maybe. Is cheaper or quicker, or can be done without human help? Maybe not.
