The only moral path here is utter refusal to comply and the complete assurance those records never fall into Republican hands.
this really is what it’s like
This is so accurate
Never before has the urge to be a completionist been more valuable. Genuine curiosity is about to be a competitive advantage like none other.
30 years ago tonight:
But hey I get it. You just had some concerns about one made up trans girl in high school girls' intramural volleyball, which I know is a thing you've always cared about and weren't just driven to think about because of the Heritage Foundation.
Ally work: screenshotting two trans women in an offhand cynical exchange and broadcasting it far and wide so a bunch of “allies” can complain about how shitty and ungrateful trans people are
Thinking about the pervasive idea that ADHD people are 'addicts' again, this time in the context of how every ADHD person I know tries to only take the pills on days when they have to be On, and how many of us keep doing the "oh I had a good day, maybe I can take the pills less" cycle. (Like me.)
One of the lessons of the Iran war is that it was a huge mistake not to even try to put any of the Iraq war architects in prison. We shouldn’t make it again.
Thing that really gets my goat is the way people are eager to fund this bullshit but you need eleven layers of analysis and a ton of collateral if you want to open a small grocery store in a food desert.
I am absolutely convinced that one of the reasons our imperialism continues unchecked year after year is because white suburbs never see the consequences. They're not occupied by soldiers or bombed by munitions. Even school shootings are just a fact of life, so dead people abroad barely register.
the bluesky experience:
😭
correct as you might be this is laughably hypocritical given you participated in exactly that not three days ago lmao

couldn’t even name the presidential train car Rail Force One smh
the cool thing about motonormativity is that if you ask any driver if it's good to have a car running in a closed garage they'll say "of course not because of the exhaust fumes", but "where do the exhaust fumes go when the car is Outside?" is not usually pondered
Cis people get annoyed by a trans woman once and get an opinion column in the Times. I get annoyed by trans women everyday and have zero opinion columns. This is transmisogyny.
always
Anyone up thinking about how it’s socialism or barbarism
“average monkey asks 3 questions a day" factoid actualy just statistical error. average monkey asks 0 questions per year. Curious georg, who lives in cave & asks over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
one of the reasons I like this passage a lot is think it captures a kind of small c conservative sense of duty/heroism that's really different from the kind of contemporary understanding of those concepts where it's journey of self-discovery/self-actualization. not, it fucking sucks, but here we are
I will never get used to the disdain our country holds for brown and Black children.
From Palestine to Iran to Sudan, we normalize the destruction of schools and hospitals and daycares. We reduce children to death tolls and their futures to rubble with no consequence or second thought.
starting a war on the last day of the month is polymarket shit, yeah?
things every single republican president of your lifetime has done
- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy
yeah :,[ <\3
A day later and no major national news org has covered what they're doing in Kansas.
This is the flip side of the hyper focus on trans issues by the right. The national media ignores what's actually being done to trans people.
This erasure is what contributes to the persecution.
it's not the issue of this story, but it is a transparent example of how the "cars are freedom" narrative is a complete farce. when the state controls your movement and can immobilize you on a whim, you are not free. car dependency is an arm of fascism for the car *IS* fascism and must be abolished.
I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.
Every now and then, I remember that JD Vance smashed the "like" button after reading this tweet, then went back and unliked it five years later when he ran for the Senate.
