I had the pleasure of being a part of this. It is refreshing to talk to people who see you, when you work in an industry designed to be invisible. Amazing work @techequity.bsky.social, @cwaunion.bsky.social and @alphabetworkersunion.org .

"Targeted attack" because it's only terrorism if it's gay or brown folks, cis het white MAGA nutters get every excuse and pass in the book.

I hate when they pin it on one person, though. There are 53 senate republicans, they are all to blame.

I love that our entire lives and worlds are being destroyed over fragile masculinity

I really WANT another book binge but I just can't figure out how to trigger one.

We'll say it again: there's 👏no 👏 such 👏 thing 👏 as free money. When a state "invests" in data centers via tax breaks, schools have less money for students.
