Have kids, they said. It’ll be fun, they said.

They never tell you that your kid will be like β€œmom you aren’t allowed to read Sunrise on the Reaping Alone and have to wait till I’m home from school”

😭😭😭

🚨🚨ALERT🚨🚨: If you want Democrats to hold the line on Musk's illegal funding/firing spree, **RIGHT NOW** is time to make your voice heard. This update below is about just that. Not clear how hard a line they're taking. GOPS are abt to shutdown the govt. Their leadership wants Dem help outmaneuver...

I suspect this is a HUGELY underestimated factor in radicalization. If you look at, say, QAnon boards, it’s not really folks looking for scapegoats for their dire material circumstances. It’s middle-class people with boring lives who want to imagine they’re in The Parallax View.

So I post a lot about buying my books, but don't think I've listed all of them and what they are about.

Here's a thread of all Karuna Riazi books at the moment 🧡 As a reminder, I am a middle grade author so all of these are middle grade titles!

There is a lot of talk about blue states resisting, etc. and this educator would humbly suggest that this is not the way forward.

I refuse to leave our people in red states behind. The Civil Rights Movement came from the Deep South. Red state progressives are some of the hardest working activists.

A national park service webpage about Stonewall.

"Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, or queer (LGBQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in
the quest for LGBQ+ civil rights and provided momentum for a movement."

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.

How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.

How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65

Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

I would urge those who live in states that are not involved in this case to contact your AGs office and ask that they file an amici brief in support of Section 504, if they are not already planning on doing so.

Y’all I’m really trying to love blue sky but on threads today Duo the Duolingo owl either was murdered or faked his own death and the prime suspect is Drake. Also Duo’s full name was revealed to Duo Keyshauna Renee Lingo. I cannot pull myself away from the unhinged shitposting that happens thereπŸ˜‚

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history.

I am incandescent with rage.
