okay so you could be racist and help a nazi gestapo get money, OR help a trans person who just had to spend a shitload of money she didnt have to say farewell to a family member! gofund.me/e3839bca4

your very existence is troubling, enraging, and distracting as hell for some of the shittiest people on earth so no, i’m afraid you may not kill yourself rn

we’re in the vet’s office waiting room and they just called for Agamemnon. we all looked at the Great Dane but it turns out Agamemnon is an orange kitten in a backpack that makes him look like an astronaut cheese puff

I also have students several grades below, without the stamina to keep improving. I hardly see the kids who are just. On grade level. 7. They just don’t see the point. The world is burning around them. And they don’t see the point. Policy is failing our kids. And here is where we’ve landed.

In case anyone didn’t believe in the literacy crisis among the kids, my eighth graders loudly complained about being given a six page story and it took many of them about an hour and a half to read it. And then lots of them said they didn’t get very basic things in the story. And I’m so tired.

"No, no, THESE uniformed goons enforcing the will of the imperial state are different from these other uniformed goons enforcing the will of the imperial state"

He's not trying to distract from the files, it's just more than one bad thing at once. Can this narrative drop, please?

Right-wingers and weird sexual policies to control women's bodies? Like cheese and not-so-fine wine! Bill calling trans healthcare “female genital mutilation” allows husband stitches for teenage girls theneedlenews.com/bill-calling...

Because police are so powerful in this country that they are their own quasi-government political entity.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

This is unsustainable and is an explicit threat of civil war against blue states.

anything they do is in service of furthering the American Project, which rules by divine mandate. as agents of the state's will, they are acting as servants of the Christian God. to question or object to their actions isn't just treason, it's blasphemy.

this goes without saying but the whole point is that ice, like the police, represent the power, authority and justice of the american state, which is infallible and absolute. they exist to defeat america's enemies, ergo, anyone they hurt is an enemy of america. their guilt is presupposed.

It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

I think we won’t really free up the space to imagine a way out of American fascism until people grasp this: most of what the “opposition party” has to offer them is their preferred actors for state violence

My issue isn't even that I don't have genuine sympathy for Americans who are opposed to this, it's that I'm fucking sick of them telling us to mind our own business when frankly that's not possible.

THEY ERASED ME. MAYBE I AM A BAD TRANNY

y'all i feel like i'm crashing out again

I hate that IS decided the way to cover the cost of having free revisions was to increase their cut of profit from books sold, forcing all the Indie authors & small presses to raise prices on books. I hate it. I hate it because I raised the prices and the paperback is now like $25 & my cut is $0.34

When it comes to fatal state violence against civilians, the U.S. is already an outlier. And now the federal government is using guns against the people, calling it patriotism, and promising itself impunity and absolution. 🧵 The result will be more people shot and killed by our government —

rightwingers always call women “too emotional” but renee good states she’s not mad in a calm voice while the agitated emotional ICE agent unloads his gun umprompted and calls her a “fucking bitch” after she’s dead

If people leave the forest because it’s on fire, then the flames win - so I’m staying.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

i’m formally adding a new plank to my #adoption liberation platform

This is the thing that I struggle to get people to understand. I don't want to eradicate my adoptive parents from the history of my life. They raised me and that's important. But I don't want a legal document to lie and say they conceived me. I want to change the document to include EVERYBODY. 🥚

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.

British journalists are addicted to X because even though the views and likes are fake, the numbers under their posts give them the feeling that someone is reading their opinions, which is not a sensation accessible at any British newspaper

Of course "bitch" is a slur. Are you all dense?

You would think a 79 year old man would know the difference between receiving an award that is deserved and taking an award by extortion. The latter is the opposite of "an honor."

I keep having people asking me for “pitching advice “ and you want my honest pitching advice ? Don’t pitch to an industry that’s burning and in free fall that will underpay you. Launch your own blog and socials. Create writing that is has no compromises to show who you and your work are.

Covid-19 and cancers connected to September 11 account for 75 percent of the deaths in ICE’s history. No ICE agent has ever been killed by an immigrant. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

I will never vote for Hbomberguy.

It is folly to think that a subclass of men positioned to be even more insecure in their masculinity by society would be immune to patriarchal enculturation when it constructs masculinity to make all men insecure about themselves and the swiftest way to reassert masculinity in that paradigm is

Anytime people talk about America and its relationship with death, I think about this. A minimum of 1.2 million people are recorded of having died of Covid. All in such a short time window. Just about everyone either knows someone personally, or has a friend who knows someone who died of Covid.

This is why the US has not, at all, acknowledged covid as a mass death event, and part of why it refuses to acknowledge it is also an ongoing mass disabling event (with millions more grieving for the futures it made impossible to them)

How many of us have heard someone praised for throwing themselves into work after losing someone? How much of the “hero” narrative around HCWs was about them “pushing through” loss? Yeah, because that’s the only acceptable show of grief or fear. Because it keeps certain people in control.

WFH was killed for real estate reasons, but it was also because it normalized (extremely reasonable) concern for things and people that aren’t just productivity.

Probably connected to why a lot of the most successful F/F stuff is sexless, anodyne, and often written by non-lesbians (L&L as an example). It's slop that doesn't offend the reading public too much, and is not hostile to heteropatriarchy.

He was just making a joke about using military force to invade a sovereign ally. Cmon people. It was funny. Lol.

it might be the chinese century but this shit has definitively been the minneapolis decade

My new quantum computer is almost working, but every time I get it to solve an equation, it collapses when I try to look at the results.

Also, additionally: I'm gonna need more Western lesbians to realize that yuri and baihe are both full of some incredibly good, incredibly sexy work that is cooking and they need to know about it. Ladies, you don't need to cling to children's show blink and you'll miss it kisses when these women FUCK

So we’re not nine days into 2026 and already we’re dealing with ice murdering people blatant American imperialist actions into Venezuela and grok making child porn. I think I’m already tired of 2026. Can I get 2027?

sometimes if you're lucky you can actually see this switch happen in real time as the American starts getting really angry at a foreigner who points out all the flaws with the American system, and they begin sputtering about the American dream being failed and that the real America is an ideal

crypto accounts are turning against rightwing narratives it’s over lol

should be said that the “beloved equal” part is often also just an obfuscation of the actual dynamics at play among liberals, they might say “we are equals” but then eg the reproductive labor is split 30:70 with both working full time jobs
