Seven

The Salvation Army is not a charity. They are an evangelical church that uses donated money to actively oppress gay rights. They've been especially cruel to trans people.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

three screenshots from Alfred Hitchcock Presents. The director, sitting at a desk, says: "I've just come into possession of a cure for fascism." We see Hitchcock's hand lining up bullets. "They come in capsule form. For best results, they must be taken internally." Hitchcock holds up a revolver "Here is the handy applicator."

Alfred Hitchcock's cure for fascism

post by @jamellebouie.net from chandra manning's wonderful book "what this cruel war was over" Nothing made slavery's toxicity more obvious to Union troops than its effect on the fundamental unit of society, the family. For one thing, slave sales separated families. In the Upper South, where many Union soldiers were stationed in 1861, about one in three first marriages was broken by sale, and about half of all slave children were separated from at least one parent. 129 With their own eyes, soldiers saw slavery snap bonds between parents and children. The men of the Seventh Wisconsin were awakened by gunshots one November night. The following day, soldiers "learned, and saw the cause of the alarm in the form of two negro women—a mother and a daughter." The pair had fled to Union lines to avoid the proposed sale of the "goodlooking" daughter into the so-called fancy trade, which soldiers viewed as a form of concubinage. Outraged by the plight and moved by the vulnerability of the mother and daughter, "every private in the ranks" cursed "that system which tramples on the honor of man, and makes merchandise of the virtue of women," according to one member of the regiment. 130 When an Iowan encountered a young child about to be sold by her own father, who was also her master, he vowed, "By G-d I'll fight till hell freezes over and then I'll cut the ice and fight on."

“I’ll fight until hell freezes over and then I’ll cut the ice and fight on”

Love the leather jacket! Your girl can properly show you off now you don't look like a bogan lol

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

Don't get me wrong, @governor.ca.gov PR team deserves a raise, but with his merciless persecution of the unhoused and his blatant anti-trans messaging, we need to find someone not fascist-lite to get behind. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in NY is killing it, and we can ALL do SO MUCH BETTER.

Hahaha this evil bitch brags about her writing Harry Potter while she was a broke single mother on the dole, and now her own charity is refusing aid to other women like her because she hates trans people so much. Fuck this evil bitch and I hope she ____.

Why are we talking about Gavin Newsom when we could be talking about JB Pritzker who actually supports trans rights????

Bluesky silenced trans voices over J.K. Rowling, here’s why Outcry grows after multiple trans users were targeted for mild criticisms of the anti-trans billionaire.

20 Aug 25 -- Bluesky has suspended multiple trans users for anti-J.K. Rowling posts even when they didn't mention threats or violence. @rikiwilchins.bsky.social

A burning heart logo next to the word Rien Gray Romance, followed by the tagline.

You know what emergent tech of the last decade actually works well, and was adopted by millions?

3D printing. It’s great! So many applications.

But also nobody is sneering at you for not having or utilizing 3D printing. Nobody is trying to sneak a 3D printer into your garage without your consent

Taken from Sam Landman on FB but not sure if he is the artist. Graphic saying AI is for losers, reject fascism think for yourself. I can make Art that’s ugly and bad all by myself thank you very much

Never played a heist game but this about to be my first. Best sales pitch ever.

Oh YIKES thank you for letting me know. None of that shit in my house - book 1 goes to goodwill and will not be getting any more

Text reads: Happy Mother's Day to the woman who taught me everything I know... Like how to walk on eggshells, second-guess my instincts, and smile while being emotionally bulldozed. Your legacy lives on - in therapy bills, boundary books, and the one voice in my head that I now tell to shut the fuck up. Hope this post finds you the way you found my childhood accomplishments: barely and with passive aggressive disappointment.

Aight, fuck it. I'm sick of all of this shit. I'm running for office somewhere. The fight needs fought. Yo @runforsomething.net can ya hook me up?

The thing about so-called generative artificial intelligence is, the intelligence isn't artificial. It's real. It's OURS. The techbros stole our intelligence (our data, our thoughts, our stories, our art) and used the software to regurgitate it and spackle it together into digital particleboard.

I love this woman so fucking much.

reskeet with how you came out as trans (wrong answers only)

Capitalist bastards stole my G.A.B.

QRP with powerful women❤️💕

The love of my life with our furry baby girl. She is so strong and my inspiration to claim my own power.

I fucked around with my life in dumb ways over the last years and the Finding Out part hitting now is really goddamn hard. Any vibes, wishes, prayers or whatever y'all could send my way would be really cool. Or just do something today that is inconvenient but your future self will thank you for.

Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...
