πŸ“šI am going back and forth between Archer Sullivan's "The Witch's Orchard," and Jen Julian's "Red Rabbit Ghost." I've got Rhiannon Giddens playing in the background. Apparently, I'm in a haunted Appalachia mood. I'm OK with that--potential nightmares and all. :)

Thank you to everyone organizing in Charlotte. As we saw in Chicago, you can send them packing, and we know similar efforts are already underway in Charlotte. In Chicago, neighborhood groups held β€œKnow Your Rights” trainings so residents understood what to do if ICE appeared.

This is where I got my MSW. :(.

The university I now work at has not made any announcements, but our neighboring state universities have begun freezing hires as well. :(

Thank you for reposting this tip. As someone who is blind I can also say that it is really easy to add out text. This is the only platform I can do it on without pulling my hair out in frustration.

Tip: In your settings, toggle the option so it always prompts you for alt-text whenever you post an image. It's easy to forget when you're on the fly, so let the software remind you. The text doesn't have to be lengthy or elegant; just do it.

I realize that tomorrow is also MLK Day and that so much good is being planned for service and community building.

Yet I can't help also feeling like I'm getting a paid day off to watch a national catastrophe begin.

GoFundMe, Mandy Moore and the unfairness of disaster relief: β€˜If you were poor before, you should stay poor’ Aid was historically seen as a way to β€˜restore the status quo’. Now the actor’s bid for help amid the LA fires raises a question: who deserves to crowdfund?

I wrote about the LA wildfires, the GoFundMes of rich people, and the long history of disaster relief reproducing inequality.

My mood going into 2025 is that this country is probably super-doomed but almost everyone I know and love is stuck here with me so I'm going to make my little corner of it kicks some ass.

🚨 After an inexplicable delay, the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals has affirmed the jury verdict awarding E. Jean Carroll $5 mil in the first of her defamation cases to go to trial against Donald Trump. The jury found Trump slandered her when he said she was lying about being sexually abused by him.

Screenshot of a tweet by Nick Field that says:

β€œOne last gift from Jimmy Carter, all flags will be at half-staff on Inauguration Day”

β€œThe flag should fly at half-staff for 30 days at all federal buildings, grounds, and naval vessels throughout the United States and its territories and possessions after the death of the president or a former president.” Per the VA website

Seeking updates on the following things:

1. Are Starbucks workers still striking?

2. Are Amazon workers still striking?

3. Can someone please fill me in on the anti trans post/newsletter that Fredom From Religion Foundation distributed? I cannot find an original source on this.

Thanks.

Thank you for adding the alt text. The setting I have on my phone to detect all text got most of it but scrambled some parts doesn't make it more pleasant to actually understand the message though.😰

So this is the update to the last post he put up in 2023? That one has been making the rounds again and I thought he might've just recycled it.

Physically speaking, I'm now in sweatpants until tomorrow. Emotionally speaking, I'm now in sweatpants until January.

And that's even more so if this is the one either reposted from last year, or has just resurfaced from last year.

This would be funny if I didn't know that it's real and he means it.

Oh Santa Baby, this Atheistic Pagan's Christmas wish is that this debate would just die and not be reborn.

I feel like this debate and discussion ultimately reveals that systemic ableism is what is at the root of such assertions.

Thou shalt pay Amazon workers fairly, for they are as close as it gets to being Santa’s elves. Without them, Christmas doesn’t happen.

Glad to see it's still around. I might have to buy one next time I'm in there though it has been a long time and perhaps adult me won't enjoy it as much as teenager me but who knows? :-)

Baristas on strike? Good. If Starbucks can charge $8 for a Venti Peppermint Mocha, they can afford to pay the people who make it more than pocket change.

Are they still making it? I haven't seen it in ages.
