"This is unconstitutional," I scream as the facial recognition equipped robot dogs drag me to my cell.

"This goes against everything America stands for!" I shout, as the algorithmic sentencing machine condemns me to death.

"This is not who we are!" I remind the firing squad of child soldiers

Yay! I'm also on Murderbot now β™₯️ (I listened to it aaaaages ago with a friend and we ended up chatting more than actually listening, so the time has come to experience it properly)

Maybe that's the American power fantasy? Secretly being a damsel in distress?

A common overlooked sign of living in survival mode is achieving something and feeling absolutely no sense of accomplishment, just a little β€œthank goodness that’s over” and moving on to the next thing.

The streets raised me...

In 1940s, the world claimed they didn't know, there was no reliable information, blah blah blah

There's no excuse now, this genocide is broadcasted live for anyone with eyes to see and ears to hear.

The Forgotten History of the World's First Trans Clinic The Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin would be a century old if it hadn’t fallen victim to Nazi ideology

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments today about Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for young people. This is not a both-sides story. One side is right and the other is dangerously wrong. Nazis were the first people to try to destroy trans health care. @bschillace.brandyschillace.com (1/n)

Two hanks of yarn shown next to each other. On the left, a hunk of thin yarn with superimposed words "fingering weight". On the right, a hank of thick yarn with words "fisting weight".

Us Poles are still on the edge of our seats awaiting the official count.

But: this turnout was even bigger than the first free elections after the fall of communism.

Whichever way the final count swings, this is how we should do democracy.
