It looks even worse by video 😢

A lot of people learning how to pronounce Louvre the right way all of a sudden.

Kids screaming conversations at each other like they’re being abducted annoys me to no end. Can you not interact without that shit?

I agree with you too! And I’m surprised / disappointed that a more experienced knitter seemed to be no longer knitting for the joy of it. This looks so nice and what a pretty colorway!

🤣🤣

Ice cream with the boy child and knitting a scarf so that I don’t freeze next time I choose to breathe oxygen outdoors like a weirdo.

Trans image that says “trans people existing does nothing negative to your life, you crybaby bitch”.

Don’t be a crybaby.

TIL at the @gencity314.bsky.social kick around that I don’t know the current correct way to fist bump.

I am old.

Mailchimp signing me out every 30 minutes is a pain in the ass.

Three hours of sleep, sitting, thinking about all the trans youth whose futures they're attempting to stamp out with an endless stream of increasingly sadistic, authoritarian directives. I am begging every single one of us to get involved. It's all of us or none, so be the adult you wish you'd had.

1934 Germany, Adolf Hitler ordered a purge of the Nazi party to install loyalists. It was called The Night of the Long Knives. From there, the Nazi Party spread fear and intimidation through the marginalization of Jews, ethnic minorities, educators, and those with mental disabilities. Donald Trump.

This is terrifying.

So while everyone has been focusing on the dumpster fire of Trump, let's see what MAGA has been up to in the House.

They have been busy introducing laws meant to restrict abortion nationwide.

First up. Restricting abortion medication.

(This is going to be one long thread)

When you don’t have time to dissociate because your country is a fucking shit show.

It struck me today that every work of dystopian fiction I've ever read involves a future without books. Maybe that's all it takes.

Safety last is a big part of America first.

I’m so tired of the worst of things always being what happens. This makes me so angry.

If fiction supposedly holds no value and you can only learn things from non-fiction, why is this country so bent on book banning (which includes mostly fiction)? It's almost like fiction and the themes within are based on the real world and can increase empathy and education of those that read them

We are thankful for a job but we are tired as fuck.

We finally got it out of our house this week. Hope it moves on fast!

Another violation of the law by Trump. Put this in a bill of impeachment, please.

"Leaving WHO requires the approval of Congress and that the U.S. meets its financial obligations for the current fiscal year. The U.S. also must provide a one-year notice."

What if the CDC didn't stop working with WHO?

I hope the CDC doesn't stop working with them. Felon47 would have to get congress to pull their funding and that means they'd have to go on record voting to strip the CDC of funding for trying to keep us safe.

Force them to say who they are on record.

ACCURATE.

Refusing to Be Complicit In his first week, the newly inaugurated president has proven once again that he rejects our laws, values and principles. It's a mistake for Democrats to try and work with him.

“We have a chance to overcome this dark chapter with clear, fearless opposition. That will require elected officials refusing to work with him and abandoning the idea that collaboration is the only way they can mitigate the damage he will cause….”

Trump has deployed active military to help round up migrants and put them into detention camps.

The military forced us out of our homes at gunpoint in 1942 because we were considered possibly disloyal Americans. They sent us to internment camps for four years.

History is repeating. Pay attention.

A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers.

This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.

Auschwitz took time.

I’m certainly unfollowing as I see whack shit in my feed. I was hoping to use the starter packs to find like minded folks but it definitely needs weeding haha
