Nationwide economic blackout on August 9: What to know about boycott Those organizing the boycott have urged Americans to refrain from making any purchases for 24 hours.

I'm not in the US right now, but if I were, I'd do this today. And maybe all week too.

I do wonder if the 2026 RSHE guidance and the historic parallels to Section 28 might wake up some allyship among our less engaged cis LGB friends to the moment we’re now in.

There’s low awareness of this specific backslide because there’s just so much being thrown at us.

The Urgent Need to Revise the RSHE 2026 Guidance and Centre Trans, Non-Binary, Intersex, Asexual and Gender Non-Conforming Voices

Add you name to the long list of educators, parents and public figures that have already done so.

Our kids were let down under Section 28. I was one of them. It scarred me deeply and I’m far from unique. We must not fail them again.

I have nothing else to say.

no but this is crazy

it’s basically trite to note at this point but if this were any other president, and certainly a democrat, spending a ton of money to gild the white house would be a legit scandal

Tw/ SA am i forced to be in constant survival mode in my own house bc my roommate lacks hygiene and has exposed us to their cum/vaginal fluids a LOT. between forced to smell stale cum(bc they have taken the all of the living, dinning and sunroom as their own, causing half of the house, including the kitchen to smell), never knowing if they have left vaginal/cum residue on the door handles or other items in this house bc they don’t wash their hands(they have handed me their phone multiple times where it has smelled like cum and had visible residue on it, i do not believe they was their hands after touching themselves or their partner.), to not knowing if there’s going to be dead vaginal skin or residue on the toilet.

TW/ SA/CSA & medical negligence this isn’t the only abuse our roommate inflicting on this house. they have taken advantage of me medically as they are my medical case manager(never was supposed to be, but i was manipulated). so i have not seen my doctor or gotten help with medical issues since i started holding my roommate more accountable for their lack of hygiene/explained to them that the smell of their room reminds me of my csa. my roommate retaliated against me for my own trauma, my roommate retaliated against me for asking them to stop assisting the house with their vaginal/cum residue and vaginal dead skin.

Meme showing small excavator attempting to dislodge a very large stranded cargo ship. The excavator is label “Me”, the ship is labeled “Crown Vetch Problem”.

Dear #AI.

Please figure out an efficient low-cost means of eradicating Crown Vetch where it doesn’t belong and is smothering native plants, including valuable legumes. Do so while minimizing collateral damage. Preferably by next Saturday or so.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

2. Emotionally Limited Parents Misread Neurodivergence as Defiance Neurocomplex traits often get pathologized in emotionally rigid households. Curiosity becomes backtalk. Sensory sensitivity is framed as overreacting. Executive dysfunction gets labeled as laziness. These misinterpretations aren't just invalidating— they're identity-shaping. Over time, kids absorb the belief that being different equals being difficult.

This is also about school.

deeply deeply relatable thread, nora 😔 you're not alone & im here for you, friend

a big part of why i am so fucked up is i have a lot of trauma around this and also had the idea that i could have trauma at all so delegitimized that it feels like i am untangling a snake nest of mental scars to go through it all

Tumblr post with a screenshot of a Twitter post (which I'm posting to Bluesky - I know) with the Tumblr post from thememedaddy and the Twitter post from Bronwen Tate @bronwentate 'My son wrote an essay about how much he hates mayonnaise, and it begins, "As a scribe, I see fit to write down all my troubles" and ends "I fell to the ground and moaned for the next few hours, lying int he moonlight wishing to die."

The Israeli cabinet ordered the expulsion of Gaza City residents by the 7th October 25. The IDF will then occupy the city.

If this goes ahead in the manner of IDF operations in Rafah, it would entail the physical destruction of Gaza City - one of the oldest cities in the Middle East.

1/

But there is no need to wait for the worst case scenario, because the worst case scenario is already here.
Destruction of 70% of homes, and almost all infrastructure.
2m people displaced.
People dying of starvation every day.
About 100 people killed every day, as they look for food.

Genocide.

Also, have the site with the bundle of resources I use to do calls and waste their time.

I'm seeing less posts about the Visa and Mastercard situation and I want to make it plain as day. You need to keep calling and bothering them, and losing them money.

Because if we lose this, they are going to cut more and more from what's available until you can only buy what they approve of.

It's like a virus. If they put out a statement at 2 weeks and we stop, then the next time they censor even more, we'll have to call 4 weeks to get them to even make a statement.

The fight won't be easier to win a year from now. We just have to be relentless, we can't give them a recovery period.
