Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

I'm grateful you continue to talk about it. When we talk about these injustices, our voices add up. Still sorry you ever had to experience it--no one should.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

From left to right: a sparkly black and purple striped witch hat, a black mini tree with black and orange ornaments, a planter of orange flowers, a black and white checkered witch boot, and a wooden sign of a black cat sitting on a jack-o-lantern. All decorations sit together on a shelf in front of a kitchenette.

I've only found one of my boxes of decorations and a few pieces were broken, but I think it's coming along

A black, sparkly, spindly mini tree with mini ornaments sitting on a shelf next to a planter with orange flowers. The ornaments are orange with the word "boo" in black sparkles, and black with a white ghost.

My mom got me teeny tiny Halloween ornaments and I just happened to have a teeny tiny spooky tree

This is why I plead with mine rather than threaten. The scanner has never worked properly but it does print well consistently!

yokai, perhaps

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

but of course

Only 0.03% Opt Out Of LGBTQ+ Education In Maryland After SCOTUS Gives Them A Right To After SCOTUS gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education, Montgomery County, Maryland is reporting only 43 families took them up on it.

"99.97 percent of families, even when given the option, chose to let their children learn about LGBTQ+ people."
Nice result, and it reinforces everything Montgomery County said to SCOTUS before its theocrats made their dehumanizing ruling. open.substack.com/pub/erininth...

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

working on a new unified theory of american reality i'm calling "everyone is twelve now"

I'm in a similar boat. I streamed consistently until my health got to the point where I couldn't keep it up, but I hope to resume some day!

I need to follow you in case you ever stream again!

look at that little dust bunny 🥹

I feel like a little piece of my soul is healed every time I see him happy and peaceful

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

the world is a complex place, and so are your facts 😅

Just watched a terrible horror movie while curled up on the couch with my cat and some snacks. Absolutely smashing the first weekend of October.

Free Greta Thunberg and the rest of the illegally detained flotilla activists.

That's how I feel about having empathy. As painful as it is living in a world run by people who have none, I am so grateful I'm not like that

I was thinking your hair has been looking great!! Especially in the wedding photos 🙂‍↕️

“They asked for a sword, and we said, ‘Well, we do have swords, but we can’t give them away because they’re museum artifacts,’” said Todd Arrington, forced to resign as head of Dwight D. Eisenhower Presidential Library.”

What I know from being Black my whole life, and poor for the majority of it, is that politely ignoring a root issue to attend to one closer to the surface is like robbing Peter to pay Paul. It’s a band-aid on a gaping wound, and it will not hold your flesh together for long. The US needs stitches.

The conversation between Klein and Coates showed me that a lot of people who screech about “infighting” on the left aren’t aware of the fact that marginalized people have been forced to learn how to regulate their emotions during conflict, and so, are better able to hear what’s actually being said.

Deskilling is real.

This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

Don't outsource your brain to this shit. You'll regret it.
