REI also outfitted ICE in Minneapolis this winter, in case you need another reason to stop shopping there.

The thousands of feds were easier to spot at first because they very obviously weren't dressed for the cold, and that stood out. Then, they went shopping, and REI was happy to sell to them.

Your Jewish friends and neighbors are tired.

Sometimes we just want you to understand why our community and our synagogues being repeatedly attacked is frightening, without explaining it away because of the Mideast or comparing it to other forms of hate.

The Iconic Civil Rights Protest You Don't Know | American Experience | PBS Meet the protesters who crawled their way into history—and changed how all Americans live.

Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl and disabled people are still fighting for basic rights in a society that's actively working to undermine them, surrounded by systemic disablism.

(This is a corrected thread TY to the person who flagged that I said 26th, not 36th!)

THIS. This right here.

What you feel is, in a lot of ways, outside your control. What you DO with those feelings is where the problems arise.

Currently doing as little work as possible because I'm mad that I have to stay 90 minutes late tomorrow for a coverage situation that I 100% could have prevented if I was on the ball, so it's my own fault. But I'm still mad about it! Jobs are dumb, and I want to go home and watch skz baby content.

Thank you!! I Everyone talking about how we have to forgive people who have learned and grown, and I'm like...when did he show us that?? When did he explain exactly how he thinks differently about the world now? Just so sick of people being let off the hook without having to show their work.

I don’t think we talk enough about how the foundational, most aspirational premise of the AI industry is “what if there was a human-level intelligence that didn’t have human rights.” Like. Exploitation is literally the whole point! Of COURSE they hold human life, intelligence and labour in contempt!

Post three good things, none of which is the cessation of a negative.

1. Kpop comebacks
2. Good sheets
3. A walk in the woods

Uggghhhh. I hate to say it, but I got a whole new insomnia pattern as part of perimenopause. I would fall asleep like normal and then wake up after 4-6 hours and be totally unable to go back to sleep. I hope you can get some relief from this along with the other symptoms!

A thing that I love about Due South fandom is that once you're in it, you're in it for life. What a special show and fandom.

Star Wars newspaper strip, Leia saying:

"OOH... OH, MY! THAT'S ENOUGH! I CAN'T TAKE ANY MORE... EVEN FOR THE SAKE OF THE REBELLION!"

Big mood there, Leia

I know, I'm really nervous, too! I'm not super familiar with Mamamoo, but what I do know is they're pretty gay?? So I'm trying to reassure myself with that right now, IDK.

Once on a panel for a professional conference, someone asked me if technology gives me hope for access.

I said let’s get ramps on every building first, and the tech bro manager was PISSED. People want to believe that they invented the answer to systemic issues…without understanding the issues.
