I mean, I could date somebody I don’t perfectly align with politically, like I identify as an anarchosyndicalist but I could see myself dating somebody who was more aligned with socialism- it really depends on how we handle collaboration and conflict
We spoke to Black women who started the Target boycott & who sustained it for a yr+. They'll likely never go back.
Teacher Laverne Mickens put it like this: “[Black women] will say if & when it’s over. And I can tell you right now: That will be the 15th of never ever.”

Also! I don’t like the amount of harassment I’ve had to deal with on public transport, I don’t like feeling like I can’t have a snack if I need one without somebody getting on my case, and I like being able to sit down. 🤷🏻♀️
I am very pro public transit, but I’m much more likely to use it when I live in a city that offers transfers between buses and trains, offers cheaper combo tickets or daily tickets, and has working bathrooms/escalators/elevators.
If I had taken public transit, it would’ve taken twice that long and that’s if every bus and train ran on time. I would also have had to walk up and down multiple flights of stairs while my ulcer screamed because the escalators don’t always work. And then I would’ve had to do it again going home.
Today, I had an event at the local library. I have a healing ulcer so I needed to maximize how much time I had at home resting before I left. I was able to get to my event in 20 minutes, and the library had a spare spot for me. I was able to attend my event because I was able to drive.
Hi! I am a real, not imaginary disabled person who does not often take public transportation despite supporting it in theory. Why? Well, because it’s pretty expensive, it’s still requires a lot of walking that I can’t do on bad chronic pain days, and nobody wears masks anymore. I need my car. 🤷🏻♀️
I’m glad that that makes you feel superior 🥰
We're back from break! I'm a horse girl Visigoth and I'm doing a Pennsylvania Dutch accent and also producing!

For example - “incapacitated” has been interpreted to mean *any* bondage in the UK porn bans
ok the wild thing is, to the extent Schumer had any strategy at all, it was "sit back and let trump screw up until everyone hates him," but no, democrats dead set on swooping in and rescuing him from the consequences of his actions
📅 Today in 1993:
OBGYN Dr. David Gunn was assassinated by an anti-abortion terrorist.

So please, if you can, I’d love to have this thread list pro-Trans everything. Creators, craftspeople, writers, artists, activists…if you or someone you know deserves some celebrating, bring it the fuck on, okay?
Post links if you can.
Buy stuff if you can.
They hate when people stand up.
Ok ✌🏻
Mom read the nutrition labels and calculated calories per dollar so we could stretch our foodstamp money.
It was never about protecting women, let’s be clear about that
This is so exciting! Congratulations! And yes, I totally agree, celebrate this news, celebrate sending in your first draft, celebrate sending in your final draft, celebrate getting the book in your hands, celebrate your launch day
Sure sounds like somebody at DOGE took the Social Security numbers and personal information of every American on record, and put it on a thumb drive to bring home to Elon Musk’s AI company.
Oh, I see where perhaps you’re misunderstanding me. I mean chaos in a much more universal way. www.space.com/chaos-theory...
Rather than continue to argue with strangers about whether religion or atheism has inherent value, I’m going to share this cool video of an unseen owl saying hello last night!
If you aren't a fan of Awkword yet, you should be. Just the teaser for this upcoming track is solid. And there's a whole discography to check out if fighting fascism is your thing. And a lot of serious journalism to keep you informed.
I’m not spiritually inclined myself but I enjoy the occasional ritual bc I recognize that at its best, ritual is a self soothing behavior that leads us to feel comforted by believing we have control over a chaotic universe. I think thats ok, even if its placebo. I also don’t push that on others.
That’s true regardless of faith, just as I’ve seen mutual aid and disaster support practiced by people similarly regardless of faith
I think for some people faith gives them more of a push to do these things, and for others community is its own higher purpose. It can be tool or weapon.
Fuck AI
And also
“Clown event still possible” is a great example of promise/threat
ICE converting warehouses to deportation camps reminds me of Les Milles, a tile factory that was converted to an infamous deportation camp and prison by the French Vichy regime. Thousands of "enemy aliens" were imprisoned here, many of them were sent from there to Auschwitz and Dachau.
white dudes stop being avoidant challenge
i am talking of course about a professional situation i am currently in, but this applies all over the board. white dudes often have the social capital to shift the behavior of other white dudes, but prefer not to use it because it risks embarrassing another white dude and goes against the code
here's one way social change happens: white dudes actually speak up and check other white dudes, even if it means burning social capital. this is most effective when white dudes invest in learning effective communication techniques and put the need to intervene above their own desire to stay comfy
