and if you *are* a ghoul, faking decency is the price of admission into polite society. seethe about it on your own time

I think we need to stop calling it empathy and go back to calling it decency. It isn't a favour you're doing someone else, it's you proving that you aren't a fucking ghoul

Big day for people who care about other people

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People “What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

here is my story about how Zohran's focus on community amid the loneliness epidemic helped young people connect their politics to an organizing infrastructure, that interviewed ZM, and does not use the NYT's framing of "they don't know how to make friends" :-) and also ran 4 days before NYT's lol

The Dimitri finds out meme, which is a two panel vertical meme of a guy being interviewed by a lady. The caption reads "The club is bumping, the ladies look good, the alcohol is flowing." The second caption reads "There is much pain in the world, but not in this room."

The scam is to conflate everything that computers do (or ever have done) with the current "AI" craze, so that the AI scam tech that nobody wants feels inevitable, rather than a tech bubble run by villains, that needs to crash immediately.

Text from Mychal reads: “People feel so safe behind their keyboards to attack you when you speak up. Do not let that stop you! Words ARE hurtful, but they ARE temporary. Words of hope for those who need you and your voice are far more lasting. Support is so much louder than toxicity Those libraries I love taught me to speak up for my neighbors who need me. Speak up for Gaza, for Palestine, for Sudan, for the Congo, for FAR too many more people that need us to be their voice, to prove to them they are not unseen 💚” Post as an example for Mychal’s words are: “Bye Mychal. Gaza is a gd war zone not a tourist resort and its every woe is because of Hamas. Grow tf up and learn something in those libraries you love.”

Libraries raised me. Libraries are third spaces. Libraries are so much more than just books… libraries are community. Libraries teach us, encourage us to come together in joy, to come together to help our neighbors. Libraries know there are times where we turn up the volume on our library voice 💚
