Long Instagram text post using therapy language to explain why unions are privileged that gets deleted in roughly an hour

Leo's embracing "Here, lemme explain to youse how unbroken legs is a privilege.".

i sincerely love seeing the bitcurrency of modern, individualistic protestantism getting put through the ol' cage match cheese grater by banking regulations (roman catholicism) this is a solid metaphor in many ways, cos as a colonised person i am rooting for both to lose

Councillors Bligh and Fry voted against it because they didn't like the lack of details in the $4.75 million fund to keep this going for six weeks. As both are running for mayor, ABC Vancouver is framing it as two councillors who Don't Like The Fun Thing Everyone Is Enjoying ah, politics

i can't be the only person who thinks we can solve this with a late-night sober cafe/community center + queer free library that gets in trouble on Instagram for not paying its workers and closes after eight months

It's not that I am suddenly embracing Roman Catholic doctrine wholesale, it's that I am suddenly embracing the amount of spite Bob from Chicago is bringing to the function, as it were.

instead of asking why autistic people "don't have empathy," ask if the allistic people in our lives, yourselves included, ever demonstrated an understanding of that socially important trait in our presence, and usefully modeled that, in their understanding of and interactions with us, individually.

"be beige"

i'm tired of being told i'm talking to her like she's stupid just because she doesn't like my tone when she's angry, and has decided that's what my tone means, and literally nothing i say can convince her otherwise cos it's in the fucking low-function autism tone

would "Baja Blast Furnace" be funnier, I can't tell

“It’s supposed to be a reflecting pool” then make it a big mirror I don’t have all day here

this is a solid reason to get really, really good at using a slingshot

When we finally break, it’s taken as proof that we were already broken. I think of this Malcolm X quote often: “…I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight.”

(leaving port on a boat in 1910) i need to wave a handkerchief into the wind about this

partner just loudly justified assaulting me by saying i triggered her on purpose ("are you saying assaulting me was justified?" "yes, that's what I'm saying.") and then when i hit voice recorder to ask her to repeat that on record, she refused to respond at all, then said it is never justified.

Seattle folks and beyond: Our annual fundraiser for PAWS pet and wildlife rescue. They've been instrumental in saving owls and eagles this past year; Caspian terns previously. I know it's a rough year, especially for my academic followers, but if anyone wants to contribute to a great cause...

it is also useful to know that she only supported abortion cos she believed it would reduce the number of Black and Indigenous people cluttering up her nation.

We've been in this same damn fight for so fucking long and the very people who are trying to crush us will tell you we're too new to have the audacity to demand human rights.

Once you learn many of the queer people who survived the Third Reich's concentration camps were promptly put back into prison - with the help of the Americans, who returned home to immediately instigate the Lavender Scare - your worldview is irrevocably changed.

begging trans academics to understand being trans doesnt give you authority to speak on some vaporish, universal trans experience, one that does not in any way exist outside your curated little bubble of white supremacist western academia your lens is always encumbered by your comparative privilege

“Oh you hate AI? How ironic considering you draw rad shit for a living.”

Happy Pride Month, btw

Academics and artists, especially the more well-off among them, can use some hard reminders from the rest of us that not everything's there for them to play with. Otherwise you get shit like that "transfems are secretly nazis" cartoon and more professors using baroque jargon to call us a slur.

Overwhelmingly, the attacks on our communities are coming from cishets, especially cishet gentry. But to the degree there is queer collaboration in trans genocide, spoiled academics who treat our lives like a bigoted parlor game are a key part of it.

a world in which only adults are allowed to act like children, it's called solipsist oppositional defiant disorder world, and we're in it

AAAAA

Forcing everyone to submit government IDs to big tech companies to use nearly every aspect of digital technology, forcing social media companies to scrub and censor the internet. Limiting political speech, artistic expression, etc. These are the real threats of child safety internet bills

I think it’s important to keep talking about children and social media, but I also think that debate is a cover for what these laws are really about: surveilling the entire population online

THEORY AND PRAXIS BAYBEEEEE

This really is a great game. Love playing it

There’s a saying passed down from earlier generations of Black Texans who were there for the first Juneteenth: “It was not a piece of paper that freed the slaves, but the men with the guns.”

HAPPY JUNETEENTH‼️white people please read up on how america fucked Grenada up and the colonial destruction of Haiti as retribution for them freeing themselves. There is no complete understanding of the exploitation of all people without educating yourself on the struggles of black people.

one of the things i love is how quickly and easily people with brick thick regional accents can do An American Guy impression bob hoskins was undisputed king of this, until idris elba showed up, but any of them can do it at any moment

building in a godly way reminded me of this 23000 sf barn house next to the freeway in orem utah with "be humble" carved into the living room's ceiling timbers www.realtor.com/realestatean...

new trail came offered this today. Looks a couple weeks older. Ears!!!!!

my favourite part of the whole grand illusion is the idea that a species that can't stop poisoning their own water and fucking up their own climate is ready to start terraforming without Earth's own training wheels: sturdy van allen belts, to keep solar wind from peeling the atmosphere off.

children are loud because they are under the impression the world belongs to them, and part of growing up is learning to think of others. this shit is profoundly juvenile, and the predictable result of a pathologically individualist society, where everyone is encouraged to be the Main Character

This is essentially just queer geocentrism. A framework for understanding the issue that is foundationally incorrect, preferred not because it helps understand anything, but because the alternatives demand letting go of deeply held biases

Happy #Juneteenth !!! I’m Dante I’m black and my art is sickkkk and people should definitely follow me and donate to my kofi ko-fi.com/rump3lstilts...

Motherfuckers hired scabs. I'll never never ever visit their establishment www.seattletimes.com/life/food-dr...

Right, it’s terrifying to consider the possibility of kids not reporting groomers and abusers if they’re afraid THEY will get in trouble for defying age verification laws.
