The frightening realization that a lot of people believe that AI is intelligent because they don't really understand things either. They just sort of repeat what other people say, and the more often it is said, the more true it must be. Hence, the computer is thinking just like humans do.

Too many people are trying to differentiate between ICE and police. I will hold your hand as I say this: Police in the US treat marginalized people the way ICE treats everyone. They're far more similar than you want to admit. Defunding the police and abolishing ICE are the same fight.

This is important. I usually use my face, but when I go into certain places, I turn that off or leave my phone. If you feel you won’t remember (no judgment!), turn it off now.

They are also taking houseless Indigenous people from what I have been reading. Its grotesque that this is all happening on our own lands. 🪶

Insurance person wants me on the phone for an assessment for 60-90 minutes next week. Well, hope they can do it in 15-minute chunks cause I will crash within 15 minutes of having to deal with the phone that long

Anyone else with long covid or ME/CFS who also has ADHD find they crash when taking ADHD medications? In a crash now after taking my medications today after having forgotten for a few days 🫠

Getting ready for a store run and having a fatigue crash after less than 5 minutes.

Compare this to my parents meeting in Greenland in 1980 and my mom deciding to hop the plane to Canada illegally, eventually becoming a permanent resident, then citizen, and having 5 children, as well as a world famous activist.

If you are goinng out, dont talk about online, at all, keep your faces covered at all times and aviod people with cameras and other filming equipment. Please get a solidarty group together and devise a plan including meeting points in case things get sidways, dring water, stay fuckig safe

To reflect on borders and their impact on my own day to day life, in 2018 I paid for tickets to bring my then-girlfriend of three years to me in Canada from Romania for two weeks. There were recent changes that allowed her to travel with only an eTa and an interview at the border.

The only way you keep fascists out of power is by redacting them from existence. There is no reforming or compromising with fascists. They do not respect laws and use your adherence to those laws against you. Reform politics are for children. Grow up.

I have family on my mother's side in Greenland, and I spent some summers in my youth there. We all just want what's best for our people, for young people to have a future to look forward to, and the current business really does cast a shadow on that future. Yankee go home.

It is really fucking with my head to know they are spinning that lie about Renee Good wanting to run over the ICE officer in part bc running over protesters with cars is something their side does. It was top of mind for them. A lie they can believe in bc they would do it/have done it themselves.

It’s wasn’t okay for the left to critique Charlie Kirk because he got murdered but it is okay for the right to be pro-murdering people

DECOLONIAL SUPPORT FUNDRAISING THREAD There’s so many support requests and it’s hard to know what to do with limited resources, but I can at least create a thread (I need to update a lot of expired links) linktr.ee/decolonialsupport Support requests below.

Asked myself which baseline I'd be going to after my current respiratory infection is done. Post 2023 long covid? Post 2018 burnout?

there's something anti-Indigenous in how the Fallout series pays such incredible detail to minutia of Americana, to settler subcultures and pre-divergence history and locations, and how those would develop, but omits Native Americans and their presence and history *everywhere*

Been trying to get this met since MIL passed away in July 😭

Ordered uber eats for groceries yesterday, really needed it after not having left the house in nearly a week. Too sick to make it across town to the clinic today, just cancelled. Wishing there were more (any) remote or at home options for doctors visits.

Received that ereader nearly a month ago but finally playing with it. The video mode isnt very good, we'll see if I use it. It brings me back to the beforetimes to CRT displays, mainly cause the resolution is so low in this mode.

If you’re pregnant please wear a well fitted mask like an N95. Pregnancy makes you high risk for Covid complications. There’s no risk to masking and cleaning the air. More & more studies are showing that Covid during pregnancy harms a developing fetus. Mask up.

Most ableists actually lean into ableism and necro politics because they're cheapskates wanting to do the bare minimum and zero accomodations.

Child slaves? No, no, that's just artisanal mining. youtu.be/ckDRvAx_oWQ

My father calls me over. He shows me a video of dogs being rescued. The hands of the humans are warped, mangled stumps. Dad is so touched he cries. A friend sends me a Christmas gift. It's a t-shirt with a picture of a crow. It has three feet. 🧵

Quick little PSA for the shitlibs: NOT EVERYTHING IS A DISTRACTION FROM THE EPSTEIN FILES YOU ABSOLUTE CHUCKLEFUCKS!

Another Palestinian account just went down. Why is @support.bsky.team still deleting them?

Sick for the last few days, symptoms line up with covid. Dont know where to get a test, cant really leave bed to get one anyway. I have a clinic appointment across town on Monday, they do swabs at entry.

As if we didn’t already treat educators horribly, now we also have to subject them to never-ending infections with an organ- and immune system-damaging virus that leave them chronically ill & jobless. Denial is comforting only in the short term. #COVID

Saying "Israel made us invade Venezuela" is frankly insulting to the many, many people who suffered from our genocides, war crimes, and imperialism between 1600 and 1948.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

It's fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

break every accessibility tool wide fucking open. equity is too important for this shit

Your “pragmatism” is a utopian fantasy that is getting millions of people killed.

The problem with the over-the-top attacks against Mamdani coming from the right wing and the media is that they automatically compel anyone to the left of Bernie into a reflexive defensive position. It's incredibly dangerous because it silences legitimate criticism coming from real socialists.

It's more pressing I get this met asap since they're gonna be garnishing wages. Esp since have other large goals to meet. www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

I know the knee jerk impulse is to assume the men who use these apps will ignore real women but they won’t. These apps literally condition men to see women as objects, without agency, and that paired with the “male loneliness epidemic” is a ticking fucking time-bomb.

David Frum is a bottomless, warmongering son of a fucking bitch. We should put him on an ice floe while we still can. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

In 2026 let’s normalize masking for public health. If we could admit that with healthcare being gutted, vaccine access restricted and previously eradicated diseases coming back… having an extra layer like a respirator makes good sense. Let’s also normalize not mocking people who mask!

LinkedIn post trying to sell me CBT but it reads like a how-to on deluding yourself I do think there are pearls in CBT worth retaining but if I gotta throw the baby out with the brain washing bath water I will You cannot reframe reality-based threats to life as being benign and expect to heal

one covid infection immeasurably reduced my quality of life assumingly permanently after 4 years by giving me long covid and mecfs, if you punch down at disabled people trying to use an umbrella of personal precautions in the hurricane that is our eugenic society unfollow me now

One of the things Covid destroyed besides our health is the economy of our “third spaces” Third spaces are safe places for people to spend time that aren’t home or work. While churches remain open, the automatic expectations attached to crossing their thresholds removes them from public option.

Pay native writers!

What I’m saying here is that you can never bring socialism to this territory until you have given the lands back to their original stewards.

When I had a life threatening post operative internal bleed, an ER sent me home three times. All three times they made it clear my “attitude” wasn’t appreciated. That I was “wasting their time”. On the 4th visit they threatened to have security remove me. My then bf got loud & a doctor noticed.
