Saw two separate stories today — one on TT, one on Insta — about @angelinajolie and @charlizeafrica *allegedly* dating women.

And suddenly, the patriarchy’s panic makes perfect sense.

Nancy Lyons (@nanscaping) “Welcome to the War Department.” That’s how Pete Hegseth kicked off a closed-door meeting with 800 military leaders today. Not a Marvel movie. Real life. Real consequences. Let’s be clear: Language ...

My friend and screenwriter @toddalcott.bsky.social wrote this, and it makes a hell of a lot of sense.

After years of falsely claiming that MMR vaccines cause autism, RFK Jr. has published a new op-ed on Fox’s website encouraging people to get the vaccine amid a measles outbreak that has already resulted in the death of a school-aged child.

It’s important to know that a lot of productive activity is happening in person and offline, too.

Not all of it can be broadcast online, but we’ve had hundreds of people showing up to our trainings, mobilizations, and more.

Keep going. Tyranny is eroded by a sea of small acts. Everything matters.

Staying here means showing up, staying connected, fighting for a better future.

These platforms are tools for connection, coalition-building, and amplifying voices that must be heard. Instead of abandoning the space, I will navigate with intention—driving dialogue, pushing back against forces for division.

I’m not leaving TT or Meta because that serves those who benefit from our isolation. My data is out there; running from platforms won’t change that. What will change things is how we use them.

there should be a labeler for congresspeople who voted to ban tiktok who are upset that tiktok got banned

TikTok's algorithm makes it a really valuable resource for connecting with communities you haven't even figured out you want to connect with yet. It can be life-changing, and people dismissing it as a dancing-teenager app are showing their ignorance.

Yup, @jamellebouie.net has this exactly right. What these guys are celebrating/pursuing/yearning for is not masculine energy, it's *adolescent* energy. Drinking Red Bull, crushing Call of Duty, refusing to clean your room. It is indescribably pathetic. www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/o...

they should shut down every social media site and force us all to get a life tbh

Food for thought.

TikTok had a massive community of #ActuallyAustistic people, likely the largest autistic community in the world ever. It included all ages and speakers and non-speakers.

It also had a large chronically ill community.

The potential loss of community for many otherwise isolated folks is significant.

A quote from Ramas, that says “whether this is the first day of the apocalypse of the first day of the golden Age, the work remains the same to love each other and ease as much suffering as possible”

This helps.

I would love to be on the list! Thank you!

Small acts of kindness can mean everything right now. Let’s look out for each other. Let’s do what we can.

The insanity of being a fire ecologist in the epicenter of a major fire event, bags packed and ready to evacuate, watching active fire from my window, while taking media requests and explaining to the public, for the 100,000th time how climate change is largely responsible for this

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder:

we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now.

the climate crisis is here, all around us

The rest of us feel so helpless. I’m so sorry. Praying for you and everyone affected by this disaster.

Tonight, in a moment of boredom, I asked ChatGPT to write my obituary. To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised at how much I liked that version of me. You should try it - and let me know when you do.

Your grandma sounds badass. What a legacy.

I mean. Me! I am hilarious.

I haven't been active on twitter since dude bought it. But I recently deleted all of my tweets. Since the very beginning. I used to love that platform. And I met some cool people there over the years. I kept my handle tho. Nobody gets to tarnish that. *sigh*
