something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

The world is, no matter how we think it ought to be. You have to be with it. You have to let it be.

Hell yeah, welcome to the 40s club, it's pretty fucking rad

It’s day 81 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

Yesterday Rep. Aisha Gomez spoke for so many of us on the floor of the MN house.

All the clips in this thread are great, but we especially love this one:

A genuine, 100% real belief of mine is that the art of theater would be infinitely improved if the entire world stopped producing any Shakespeare plays for at least a year but preferably like 50 years, and replaced everything that would have been Shakespeare with new work by a local playwright

Go to the woods today, breathe fresh air, get some exercise, give your name to a ghostly figure that drags their soft fingers sweetly through your hair and leaves a curled fern in the pocket of your shirt.

discrete = separate

discreet = unobtrusive

The E's are SEPARATED by the T in 'discrete.'

Thousands of institutions abandoned programs, ended or rewrote scholarships, closed down clubs and publications, all in pre-emptive compliance.

And you know why?

Mostly because they wanted to do it if they thought they could blame someone else for it.

oh nooo 😭

Whatever King Charles learned about Andrew has to be so much worse than what the public knows because a statement like this?

Mm.

If the motherfucking KING OF ENGLAND is willing to have his own brother arrested because he's a pedo, whomever is running in the midterms and in 2028 needs to bring fire and brimstone for EVERYONE in the files. Charles himself realizes how important this is! This is not an extreme position!

yes I do wonder if we're speedrunning 'the railway industry'

did you know when steam trains were invented it was presumed they were for goods haulage? taking coal from the mines to the waiting ships etc. it was only when workers began to hitch a lift on them that ppl thought "passenger?... trains?"

pap pic of the horrible former-Prince Andrew in the back of a car by night, with grimly cold lighting. He is slouching in his seat trying to hide, jowls showing, inside of nostrils lit up, with flash turning one, and only one, of his eyes red.

did they deliberately touch up the red-eye on only one of his eyes, I love it

women's AGENDA Enough talk: 8 women killed in 2026 and still no urgency 66 Today, Federal and States Ministers will attend the quarterly Women's Safety Ministers Council meeting. They have an opportunity to make that proposition a reality. Sadly, I am not expecting this will happen. LARISSA WATERS LEADER OF THE GREENS Authorised by J. McColl, Australian Greens, Canberra ACT 2600.

women's AGENDA 66 Four years into the National Plan to End Violence Against Women and Children, the frontline is fraying. Specialist services are at capacity. Police responses are inconsistent at best, cavalier at worst. Too little is being done to tackle basic things that exacerbate violence: lack of housing, economic insecurity, alcohol and gambling. Read the full op-ed on Women's Agenda Authorised by J. McColl, Australian Greens, Canberra ACT 2600.

women's AGENDA Minister Farrell [..] asked incredulously: "Are you saying we should fund every person who goes into one of these [community legal] centres? Is that your proposition?" Yes, Minister. In a wealthy country that says it is committed to ending violence against women, that is exactly my proposition. - LARISSA WATERS LEADER OF THE GREENS Authorised by J. McColl, Australian Greens, Canberra ACT 2600.

"Ministers, my letter is on your desk and my proposition is simple.
Don’t just talk.
Commit the funding and show political will to do what it takes to end violence against women."

Librarian here. We grant library cards to ALL residents, no matter their age or legal status. Our ID requirements pertain to establishing residency only. Do not invoke libraries, which embrace *everyone* in its civic fold, as a precedent for measures designed to *suppress* civic participation.

This would be of great concern if people were EATING THEIR HEADPHONES.

Seriously. This is a complete non-issue. It's like saying that there's potentially problematic chemicals in your TV. There probably are, but giant who cares.

It's never too late to try something new.
It's never too late to start speaking with owls.
It's never too late to shapeshift into a bear.
It's never too late to wrap yourself in mossy wild magic and become the shambling horror that prowls the ragged edge of the forest.

A writer is a person who cares what words mean, what they say, how they say it. Writers know words are their way towards truth and freedom, and so they use them with care, with thought, with fear, with delight. By using words well they strengthen their souls.

incredible how many buckaroos do not realize the universes constantly spilling off of them, all the time, every day. you are the most glorious, beautiful being across a thousand different worlds because every choice you make is a REALITY YOU JUST BUILT, and you can build them with love

"Instead, it [The idea that an orgasm⁠ does or should mean that sex is or must be finished] comes from places like pop culture depictions or cultural beliefs or ideals that only present sex about what’s needed for reproduction, or the lowest common denominator of deeply average sexual⁠ experiences."

"93 per cent of residents say they're satisfied with library services."

Do you know how hard it is to get 93% of people to agree on anything, let alone for that thing to be satisfaction with a government service?

Libraries are freaking magic.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.
