My son’s just sent us a picture of a crow that attacked him. Sort of grabbed at his head. We asked him why he thinks it did it. His exact words:

“Maybe it was because i was admiring another crow”

And the BLM protests. For like one year tops it seemed like we might take how women and Black people are treated seriously and the American antibodies kicked into high gear.

"One last thing - if you’re able to wear a mask and you aren’t - now would be a great time to start. The more people wearing masks and respirators in public the more they become normalized. If they’re normalized as a health device (which they are) it will be harder to pass laws banning their use."🎯

"Get loud, work fast and don’t stop putting pressure on lawmakers - together we can make sure those in power know that we’re done being denied safe access to public spaces. We’re a large group and we CAN turn the tide"

voting is like taking the bus. i simply go to bustime dot mta dot info to see when the q100 express is approaching and then tap my phone to board. then the bus rams directly into a crowd of protestors killing them. me and everyone else on the bus then disembark at our preferred stops

Disabled people's exclusion from indoor spaces is a civil rights violation, not an annoyance NPR tacitly endorses the removal of Long COVID sufferers from public life

I wrote about @npr.org ‘s decision to frame disabled people's ongoing exclusion from all public spaces as an annoyance to be navigated by individuals, rather than a massive civil rights violation to be challenged by the collective.

Frankly I think this is the story reactionaries are trying to tell here. “Oh so I have to believe my colleague is a rapist because his victim told her friend the next day, but the same standard doesn’t apply to a facially absurd story that involves a minimum of four people in a conference room?”

I deeply love the shitposters who are also nature nerds. One post will be "saw a northern flicker on the suet feeder this morning" and the next is "i am the president of going peepee"

Libs of TikTok is fueling a pogrom against trans youth A self-described Orthodox Jew is fomenting a violent assault on LGBTQ children by inciting her more than 1.3 million followers.

I wrote this in 2022 and I cannot tell you how deeply horrible it is to see it coming to life in front of our eyes.

The answer then as now is that the only way to turn the tide is to bring mass awareness and create a movement that pushes back.

I think it’s great that social media has completely dispelled the notion that people are rich because they’re smarter than you

The He Gets Us campaign is run by The Servant Foundation, which has been waging lawfare on gay and trans people through tens of millions in donations to the far-right legal activist group The Alliance Defending Freedom since 2018
