This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke... Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

My question is who is doing all the Epsteining for these powerful wealthy men now?

Further I think it should be legally mandated for all indoor public spaces to HEPA filter the air at a high turnover rate, with an enforced legality similar to fire alarms and sprinkler systems. It must be mandatory

My line for this is: "Pass it along to others who do."

Most hospitals in Seattle are Catholic and many throughout WA. Will @governorferguson.bsky.social and @atg.wa.gov force them to follow WA State law and provide gender affirming care? Or are religious zealots dictating even "Blue" State policies?

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Anyone out there fluent in Klingon?

CHOP was created when the SPD abandoned their precinct and faked an incoming Proud Boy attack. SPD and the FBI then intentionally manufactured crime, refused to answer calls for help, and spread rw propaganda in the news. This is how they move & we need to pay attention.

Can't wait for Katie to ban cars!* Beep, beep, transit coming through! 🚌 *Probably what The Seattle Times ed board will write tomorrow

I really hope some news outlet covers the widespread threats & intimidation used by Harrell + his team to get orgs and individuals to not support Wilson, or to change their support. It’s just really trash behavior; it’s concerning how many people were scared of him.

Omg which of the 3 Harry Potter fanfic "reskinned" Romantasies will I pick in the Goodreads Choice Awards!? Truly Sophie's choice! (Obviously this is sarcastic disgust.)

I would just live my life so that Joyce Carol Oates does not feel the need to destroy me.

Amused that, in addition to The Shock Doctrine, I'm reading books titled Bound and Spent.

SEATTLE CURE YOUR VOTES PLEASE

Finally looked at the WA health exchange. My monthly "health" insurance costs will be more than double if I keep the same plan. Interestingly enough, government subsidies (fed and state) on it are higher than last year (though not keeping up with % of increase). Insurance companies are also evil.

Me in 2014/15 the hipster of blocking: Block Nate Silver. People in my mentions: But why? I'm not Cassandra. These losers are easy to spot because they have a distinctive lack of ethics, chase money, and slip up long before they feel emboldened to mask off.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

If only we had the courage.

I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation

Sam Altman and every other executive at OpenAI criminally liable for the deaths they've caused and all of their personal fortunes distributed to the families of their victims, then jail for a thousand years, and the company liquidated, absolute complete dismantling of OpenAI.

I will never use AI for my covers, editing, translation, or anything else. It is not only useless to me as an author, it is actively hostile and harms every skill related to book production. If you're an author against AI used to generate writing, you better back everyone else in the chain too.

No matter your experience level, there's a book for you! 🏳️‍⚧️📚 #transbooks The list covers a vast range of genres. There are 78 handcrafted recs on this list, and I've read all but two.

"Rude" is set to hide automatically, and that's probably why your feed seems dead.

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

Elected Democrats spending more time today praising Dick Cheney than Zohran Mamdani is a great case study in abject fucking moral failure.

America is so cool where I need surgery and insurance coverage, and the insurance company is now basically deciding between two surgeons for me, instead of me being able to decide. One is in-network for 2025 and out-of-network in 2026, and the other is out-of-network for 2025 and in-network in 2026!

About Teen Vogue, I don't read or care much for a lot of mainstream media, but Teen Vogue is the only consistent non-Native media outlet that has always done an incredible job reporting on Native issues and giving our talent a platform to shine and not just to fill their "diversity" quota.

I mean you are living through an attempt at inflicting mass starvation on millions of people. This is an ELIMINATIONIST political movement. The sooner folks wake up to this, the better for all of us.

Chris Gregoire needs to stop endorsing conservative and centrist (Republican and Democrat) candidates if she's championing high-speed rail connecting Portland & Seattle & Vancouver BC. She continually supports candidates against an income tax and against investment in infrastructure beyond cars.

In fact, they’re waiting to see who wins to decide which way to lean.

Do we need a deck of cards with oligarch pictures and names?

The women married to fascists are usually also fascists. They weren't "tricked" into being with these people. They chose them.

glamour uk have made trans women their ‘women of the year’. this really highlights how transphobes have lost the ‘culture war’ and are wholly reliant on bigoted politicians like @bphillipsonmp.bsky.social and wes streeting they wouldn’t do this if they were worried about it losing them readers:

…If that’s the strategy why did Harrell’s Comp Plan only allow corner stores on literal corners!? We had to do a whole advocacy campaign to fix that… actionnetwork.org/letters/lega...
