I think the really important thing about the "trans sports debate" is that it's NOT REAL, the things that people are fearmongering about are NOT REAL and are NOT HAPPENING. Cis women are not competing at a disadvantage against trans women, cis men aren't transitioning to win at sports, IT'S NOT REAL

You canโ€™t โ€œtry harderโ€ your way out of chronic illness.

You canโ€™t โ€œhealthy dietโ€ your way out of chronic illness.

Disability is not your fault. Itโ€™s not a moral failing.

Absolutely we should do whatever we can to be healthy, but folks need to accept that disability can & will happen to everyone

Iโ€™m not reposting anything with RFK Jrโ€™s face on it out of respect for xour eyes but โ€œautism epidemicโ€ is like saying โ€œfreckles epidemicโ€ or โ€œcleft chin epidemicโ€ itโ€™s not a disease itโ€™s just a way some people are and the thing we need to fix is a hostile societal framework.

nobody is immune to propaganda, but it does help if you can develop a moral framework independent of a book you read when you were twelve

"if I just work hard enough, eventually I'll make it"

No. cause if you don't make it that means you didn't work hard enough. And that isn't fair to your efforts.

there are so many factors outside of your hands. So much success is luck, and failure is not always your fault. cut yourself some slack.

Some people use DoorDash because lazy. Yes.

Some do it because you motherfucking ableds canโ€™t be assed to put on a mask, they live alone, and risking their lives for groceries isnโ€™t something they can do.

If you want to end this problem, go after the rich assholes. Not people who need help.

"No war but the class war" my ass, many American working-class white people would rather make their own lives worse as long as black people's lives don't get any better.

"Why is that relevant right now?"

NT: BECAUSE MY FEELINGS AND FRAGILE CONCEPT OF MYSELF AS A "GOOD PERSON" ARE THE PRIORITY HERE, NOT THE NEEDS OF DISABLED PEOPLE.

A meme that reads โ€œInstead of March Madness this year I'll be doing a little something called Starch Sadness which is where I just eat potatoes until I feel better.โ€ The two side-by-side images below are of mashed potatoes with melted butter and chives on top on the left, and scalloped potatoes with thyme on top on the right.

All I'm saying is, if you ran a campaign on democracy being at stake and democracy lost, isn't it time to be massively freaking out instead of doing this

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything Iโ€™ve seen in my life. Itโ€™s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.

This Friday, where will you be?

The New McCarthyism: LGBTQ+ Purges In Government Begin After Chris Rufo leaked LGBTQ+ chatlogs from the intelligence community, Gabbard has announced that all those who participated in the chats will be fired.

1. Today, the NYT has reported that 100 members of an ERG-adjacent LGBTQ+ chat in the intelligence community have been fired.

This is a new McCarthyism, a new lavender scare meant to remove LGBTQ+ in government, and the way this was done should shake us all.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. Itโ€™s not intellectually superior. Itโ€™s the virus theyโ€™re trying to infect us with. NO

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.

Opportunities are everywhere.

Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Donโ€™t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are ๐Ÿ“‰

A white woman recently took to TikTok in shock after being fired.

She expressed surprise, believing perhaps that DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) hires were exclusively people of color.

However, a lesser-known fact is that white women are the largest demographic of DEI hires in the U.S.

I guess this is what we get from a decade or two of rewarding the most inflammatory commenters with the most attention and internet points. And by we, I mean people using the platforms and also people making the algorithms.
