Archivists, historians, scribes: your time is now. Yours is among the most urgent work needed.

we never should’ve given power to the nerds. the jocks shouldn’t have it either. we must usher in the age of the goths

Fun how all the platforms get less fun, less interesting, and less usable as they get more right-wing and more dedicated to sucking up as much of our time and scamming us as much as possible.

This entire project is *very expliclty* about fully purging black people and women from huge swaths of public life, employment and education. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

People of good faith can have different ideas of what effective immigration policy looks like, but on a human level, that policy should be informed by a sense of empathy for and understanding of the violence and poverty that so many people are fleeing from.

As we see these images of people crying at the border after the asylum system shut down, it is again worth considering how indescribably desperate a person must feel to travel with their children through the desert, across the water, or through the Darien Gap simply for the *possibility* of safety.

i don’t feel sane using any social media but i feel more sane on bluesky. never been more glad to have cured my twitter addiction, even if it means starting from scratch. i hope more of us migrate over here rather than giving that shithead musk more of our time on his nazi-ass platform.

The Germans press is not having as much trouble discerning what happened as the American press. www.zeit.de/kultur/2025-...

Today is a good day for everyone to step back and think about how they may have inadvertently contributed to making today happen.

He's a fucking Nazi

this sort of naked cynicism is jarring, but you’re going to see more of it because this is how kleptocracy works. it makes groveling and sycophancy the rational choice, because it will very often be rewarded.

The language Trump uses in these executive orders is identical to laws in Hungary under Orban --banning "gender ideology," enforcing binary biological sex definitions in identity documents, claiming women deserve special "dignity and protection."

Just a countdown to the dumbest reality

“Some of the aid that children in Gaza need is not aid that we can bring in on trucks. Every single child in Gaza today is deeply, deeply scarred and traumatised by what they’ve witnessed,” Bollen said. “They’ve gone through things that no child should ever have to witness,” she said.

BREAKING: The Montana Supreme Court has blocked the state's ban on gender-affirming care for transgender youth, finding the 2023 law violates the state constitution’s privacy clause and that trans people have a right "to make medical judgments affecting her or his bodily integrity and health"

“Bodies are completely evaporating, and they’re not even finding remains of people anymore,” a UN officer said.

Today we remember the legacy of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson

I love my trans friends and family, respect and value my trans colleagues, and want every trans, nonbinary, and gender nonconforming person in the world to have bodily autonomy, access to health care, privacy, respect and freedom. I want that for all of us, but those having to fight for it.

around 42% of all marriages end in divorce. that is a very high regret rate for people committing to life changing decisions. the state should do something, ultimately we should ban marriage entirely

Idaho already bans almost all abortions. On Monday, a panel of federal judges ruled that the state can enforce portions of its draconian “abortion trafficking” law. theappeal.org?p=34321&prev...

the clear sign that they just don’t see these kids as real people is the endless concern over hypotheticals and the indifference to the reality that actual children are more likely to kill themselves because of these bans

The Korean Confederation of Trade Unions has announced that it will begin an indefinite general strike tomorrow, demanding the immediate resignation of President Yoon Suk-yeol.

I liveskyed the 2024 Martial Law Declaration of Korea. This is the thread.

South Korea rn is what it looks like when people see democracy as a fragile thing that needs to be defended by all means necessary, and not as their inevitable birthright as citizens of an exceptional nation

Just a little reminder that the South Korean president who just declared martial law was elected two years ago on a wave of anti-feminist backlash. Misogyny is routinely part of the authoritarian package. www.bbc.com/news/world-a...

I get why journalists are reticent to try to port a following to a new platform—I was, and I still post my work everywhere—but if your career is predicated on people clicking your links and engaging with your work, this site is the only one not actively working against that.

🧵 BREAKING: The U.S. House has just passed HR 9495, a bill that dramatically expands the Treasury’s power to revoke tax-exempt status from nonprofits it deems to be “supporting terrorism.” Here’s what this means for Palestinian rights organizations and free speech in the U.S.

kim seokjin, the rockstar you are 🥹

crying at how jin released super tuna after PTD three years ago as a joke and now the man is on national tv promoting a music video in which he proposes to a fish 😭😭😭

Whew! Popping back here briefly to discuss a very eventful few days. On Sat, a SNOW BUNTING appears at Hayward Regional. 😱 The bird is stunning & super-rare in the East Bay. Many birders go to see it. It's living its best life on a white/brown plastic culvert that it maybe thinks is snow? 1/

The Los Angeles City Council unanimously approves so-called “sanctuary city” ordinance that bars city resources from being used to assist in mass deportations: ktla.com/news/local-n...

I made a blocklist for some of the new showing up to troll anti trans folks. No oxygen for these schmoes! bsky.app/profile/did:...

crazy how this app is actually pretty good

@ddaengbiased.bsky.social Help i love your display name (heard it in hobi’s voice 🥹)

People in Gaza are beginning to dehydrate to death

The language used by Israel in this twitter post is all about othering Palestinians out of their humanity, and it absolutely is so you, reading about this horrific act, have some tools in your hands to justify it. No, bombing hospitals is never ok. No, no matter what. No. It is an atrocity.

at least 500 people killed in the Israeli air strike on a hospital in Gaza today, with 3000 deaths in Gaza since the bombing began, news still coming in: www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

absolutely unspeakable.

"I think, ultimately, there’s no other way but recognizing the moral interconnectedness, which means you have to recognize that your family’s safety and dignity and freedom are dependent on you caring about the safety and dignity and freedom of Palestinians and vice versa." slate.com/news-and-pol...
