If there is one lesson in life that I've learned is to never underestimate the savagery of the American people.

so yeah. if you don’t vote for this guy, i can only surmise that you must fucking hate trans people

As a classics professor, Beard has spent her career pondering life in the ancient world. The central question of her latest book is: What on earth was it like to be there? n.pr/4e436hH

Look, I know that's everyone's stressed, hurt and feeling desperate. But we must not devour each other.

Thanks for anything you can do

The man screamed for help as he was brought to the ground under the agents’ vehicle. One agent then used a taser on him. The agent aimed it at bystanders before and after tasing the man. Another agent aimed a can of pepper spray and pointed it at the crowd. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The Israeli army is moving deeper into Lebanon and destroying village after village as part of a campaign of ethnic cleansing and naked land grabs. A War Powers Resolution is being put to a vote this week by Rashida Tlaib to end American support for Israel’s war of aggression

As Democratic officials are using the "outside agitators" line again, it's worth noting a deeper dynamic here. For all the complaints about, well, anything radicals do being "purity culture" the politics of centrists and liberals here are a sterling, actual example of a political purity culture...🧵

Pay attention to which spineless studios stay utterly silent about pride this year. You can't spend ten years trying to capitalize on gay dollars then try to hide the second a fascist starts crying.

This is insanity. It is a formula for an epidemic of abuse of disabled people.

1/🧵 The Supreme Court has today overturned Cheshire West and removed important protections for severely disabled people. This case hits all the keywords: guidance, segregation, “never had the right”.

Although that said, I do hope it makes a comeback Imagine how much cooler Moskva would have been if it were sinking whilst looking like this?

Mikie Sherrill’s state police destroyed the mutual aid tent for families of the detained that had been in operation at Delaney Hall for more than a year, providing clothes, food, even stuffies for the kids. They just trashed it. I’m pretty speechless at the kind of person you have to be to do this

When I was growing up in the 1990s, my grandma had a washer and dryer set original to her house (built in 1964), food processors and other kitchen appliances that were from the 1970s. Things were just that more durable and well-built. I just replaced a coffee maker that barely lasted a year.

Hello. Job leads have been few and far between this year so far, and job hunting outside my discipline to make ends meet has been fruitless and demoralizing. I have not gotten a paycheck since October. I could use help making rent this month. “Thank you” - Stella PayPal: @StellaSacco Cashapp: #$SACC

Rashida Tlaib is forcing a vote on a Lebanon-centered War Powers Resolution later this week which would, if passed, require that the US end all intelligence sharing and other coordinated activities with the Israeli army related to Lebanon and its sovereignty within 7 days. Tell your rep to vote YES

langone and mt sinai still haven’t resumed care and that $65,000,000 trans healthcare fund you promised is yet to materialize but thanks for the text post a staffer probably wrote 👍

This is an extraordinarily inflammatory and dangerous contribution, and deeply inaccurate as anybody who has been on the receiving end of gender policing can tell you. This guidance is unfair and unworkable. Ask your MP to reject the Code of Practice: equalrecognition.eaction.org.uk/rejectthecode

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH EVERYBODY

The Bluesky dev team is the absolute worst at social media design. Everything we have here was built by the users, usually in direct conflict with the mods. They are actively hostile toward their users and despise that we want things to actually work.

This is a really grim decision alongside Cenk. People often talk about dangerous road we'd go down under a Reform government - this is another clear warning we're down there already. A Labour government doing everything possible to silence criticism of the Israeli Government

Been in a strange kinda headspace lately, got real sad and thought about Soundgarden with the anniversary of Cornell's death and the last Soundgarden record, so i wrote a little about how that story ends but mine doesn't. www.anxietyshark.ca/they-say-if-...

Celebrate pride by sending money to trans people in need. We’re one of the poorest demographics facing some of the highest employment discrimination and public life is increasingly being placed out of reach for many of us.

Aside from all the clearly prejudicial and hateful bullshit wrapped up in the proposed Adult account tag, having places where adults can contextualize their sex lives alongside their other interests is liberatory and enriches life and culture.

Please help Mari if you can.

How men feared women! she thought, walking among the late-flowering roses. Not as individuals, but women when they talked together, worked together, spoke up for one another - then men saw plots, cabals, constraints, traps being laid.

Also when straight lefties do this you're just doing the homophobic thing where you're associating queerness with people who you don't like or who you think are evil. It's not like we don't notice, its not subtle.

Rent is due tomorrow and I'm still about $500 short of my goal!

It's fascinating (and infuriating) to live in an age where almost everyone I know is languishing in Dickensian poverty but social media is slap full of professional computer-touchers who've never known hunger insisting that the economy is fine because their metrics say rich people are rich.

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

After the police tear-gas people, the mayor announces a curfew for their "safety and well-being." In fact, the curfew will only empower the police to attack people more freely. Democratic politicians are doing Trump's dirty work—while the captives of ICE remain on hunger strike in Delaney Hall.

The WSJ screenshot going around of Platner’s sexts being Nazi-themed is fake. WSJ did not publish the actual sexts. And whoever made the image misspelled “fuhrer”

I got Forza 5 on the Playstation and my wife has been stealing it from me because she enjoys it so much. I walk into the living room this morning and see this

I left tumblr over the 2018 porn ban. They really want to kill this platform.

the new adult content account labels being applied to folks willy nilly feels retaliatory to the trans girlies on here tbh

As I grow older it's kinda weird how more Ace I am now, as opposed to how I was at say, in my 20s, that is too say almost hyper-sexual. In the past it would have freaked me out. But I'm digging it, having the "sex when?" pressure out of relationships opens up a lot of new possibilities.

Repost to scare Bluesky developers

I have been drawing porn for 14 years. I can't articulate how shitty it is to have endured over a decade of reading comments from strangers and even friends whose subtext is "I don't care if you lose your job, I don't care if you can't pay your rent, I want to look at memes in peace on the train."
