it probably isn't helping anyone's mental state that the news every morning is like "Things Have Gotten Much Worse Again! Further, No Sign of Anyone Attempting to Stop It" great thanks

to be clear: the reason Yggy and the gang keep writing their "hurry up and abandon trans rights already" op-eds is because elected Democrats generally have not done so

Self awareness of a potato, but at least potatoes feed people

it is unfathomable to me that an article this made it through a double-blind peer review process the opening sentence alone would surely raise huge red flags for any half-decent reviewer

Our insistence on naming stuff after people (usually men) is, I think, a symptom of our addiction to the Great Man of History framing of the world. We should stop naming stuff after people. It's silly at best, potentially harmful at worst.

the media is now telling people to work from home to save on gasoline, immediately after their years-long crusade to tell us why returning to office is best for everyone. this isn't a gotcha, it's an example of how contradicting demands allow the ruling class to blame us no matter what we do

Kudos to this woman (ww) for doing this labor. And, given she is in Ohio, it was a hopeful to see this work done by a fellow midwesterner. That said, every educator and any person that cares about education, should view this as a 5-alarm fire. The destruction of US public education is happening. /6

...It's important they know what they read & hear on social media is a lot of opinions but not knowledge... [for ex] immigrants built this country after we stole it from Native people...." She said her kids often cited "wrong" historical facts they learned in school. So, she stepped in./5

It's so weird to me that we have no trouble with the *benefits* accrued by parents going to descendants---it's the main driver of class competition, educational arms race, NIMBYism, etc. But we act as if the *responsibilities and debts* do not pass on --each new person is their own balance sheet

"Why is all this stuff we import and have thus tariffed for no gd reason so expensive?! I demand answers!!"

When you're submerged in white evangelicalism, you don't need to have shameful experiences w women to become misogynistic, just as racists don't need to have bad experiences to hate. Men in that world are taught from birth they're created by God to rule & women are the root of sin entering the world

At no point will citizenship ever present a problem of scarcity, unless you're a white racial/cultural supremacist who thinks other people getting to participate in democratic society diminishes your own dominance, which is what this is all code language for.

You really can think the Iranian regime is evil and/or the Israeli government is evil without thinking that all Muslims or Jews should have to answer for either one. It’s easy if you try!

Antisemitism, Islamophobia, and the racism which often accompanies them are all real and bad. They are dehumanizing and harmful to movements focused on liberation.

There is a neighbourhood beagle. There is a fire station three blocks away. I sincerely love hearing the beagle sing along.

If she can resist the vocal stim of "Makin' my way downtown, walkin' fast. Faces pass and I'm homebound" I Don't Even Want Her!!!!!!!

The entire CONCEPT of diplomacy - of not gratuitously offering insult to other nations — is offensive to Trumpists. They see it as servile. A Real Man says what he wants!

Cards on the table: Look at US history. Look at successful liberal/leftist movements that liberated people and made society-changing strides toward making this truly a land conceived in liberty that is by, for, and of the people — these movements, all of them, were heavily religious. All of them.

Being a single, child free woman is a threat to these people. Remember that whenever people bring up how feminism isnt necessary

Me, being led away by the secret service after releasing thousands of gophers at the Capitol: "You don't understand! It's a scientifically proven way to revive a desolate place! I'm a patriot!" www.popularmechanics.com/science/envi...

your occasional reminder that we get the whole idea of gender reveal parties from this family

War with Iran? Hold that thought, MAGA's too busy fighting about micropenises

Bernie Sanders suggesting they filibuster by reading out the complete Epstein files is some next level agent of chaotic good shit

I hate that I enjoy ambrosia salad. Like, I'm ashamed. Also,[MAPLE] sugar on snow is a goddam delight.

The visible prompt from Agent Donahue is "Long format like yesterdays", evidence that he repeatedly used ChatGPT to generate incident reports. ChatGPT's response says that it will "incorporate all the identifiers from the documents you provided," showing that he also uploaded DHS material to ChatGPT

So much love and solidarity to Ana Murguia, Debra Rojas, Dolores Huerta, and every other survivor. Chavez was just a man; women like them, then and now, are the true heroes of the farmworkers’ movement.

Thou shalt read the Epstein files out loud during the Senate's SAVE ACT filibuster.

Tishaura was mayor, crime was down, police were held accountable so much they publicly fought with Tishaura on policies, no need for a curfew. The incompetent white woman gets elected and now look. 😵‍💫 Time to criminalize your children again.

VAL KILMER IS NOT IN THIS MOVIE YOU WILL NEVER KNOW WHAT HE'D DO IN THIS ROLE, BECAUSE HE WASN'T CAST. HE'S NOT THERE

I think this story is helping me understand why the generation Dolores Huerta inspired was so strongly tied to the idea that activism should be intersectional before anything else. It's not a buzzword, it's about keeping abusers out of your movement

They thought they really did something..until the women who actually work in the industry checked them.

I just clued into the Afroman defamation lawsuit. Amazing. Absolutely amazing content. Actually, it surpasses mere content. It is art.

i'm proud that afroman is our larry flynt

Trump is committing war crimes against the Cuban people. It’s useful to remember Justice Jackson’s opening statement from the Nuremberg Tribunal eight decades ago. It’s every bit as relevant today as it was back then.

This will be a meme

see? here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

A day for lordly, thunderous pee for the male-folk, while us females will have to struggle through the urethral maze.

Rarely do we see candidates out in he streets, putting their bodies on the line not just for their potential constituents, but for all the marginalized folks in their communities. Even though Kat didn’t win, the campaign she ran should be treated as an example for all others to follow.

I hate but I guess a critical mass of people have not learned history, so here we go, fixing to repeat it.

"She", you misogynistic dumbass.

Cities spend millions on plastic flex posts that get flattened in a week. Meanwhile, the cheapest, most effective design tool is a boulder. They protect people, enforce behavior, and actually survive doing their job.

HEY AUTHORS CLAIM WHAT YOU ARE OWED 👇🏾

If you call this a 'sugar snow' and focus on how this extends the sap run, it takes the sting out of waking up to another snowfall. Right? Right??!

Well, now, this is cool. Makes me like him even more. #Oscars

💯 This!
