Report from MN:

Today in "leaving money on the table"

keep it going!

Never ever try to tell me that women are in some way made of morally superior stuff due to their gender alone.

If a member of a Democratic executive be behaved this way in a congressional hearing while Republicans held the majority they would be held in contempt in a heartbeat because the behavior is entirely contemptuous, but Republicans are allergic to accountability.

Cohen cancers in younger people are increasing and it's one of the things we're seeing as a possible Covid impact. Covid has changed everything and our institutions are not responding.

THIS HEADLINE LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOO

Hey, remember when NFTs were 'inevitable' and the hype was 'true'? How's that going?

Nah, we break the frame and change up the narrative. There is no good reason to capitulate to the corpos using our air, water, and the cool stuff we've made to feed their endless hunger for money. You don't have to volunteer to throw our futures away. Make them regret trying it.

"Despite the fantastical Afrofuturistic setting... every artifact I stole currently exists in the real world... I hated the feeling that this fantasy of stealing back the bones of venerated ancestors would be the closest thing to justice that my extended cultural family would ever get"

The only way this is even gonna work any more is if we start equipping locals / former employees with trained statisticians

I'm so ready to "inconvenience myself" for the sake of my data privacy. I'm so sick of Google being everywhere. I hate how much access these corporations have to my life. It's genuinely disgusting

the trump regime is dismantling the scientific infrastructure in this country that works on better detection and treatment of colorectal cancer. it's terrifying.

"El Paso Party Balloon" is the name of my next band gizmodo.com/one-mexican-...

*rings dinner bell* yall come eat Can't wait till you read the non social headline

Read this one. Happy Black History Month

Indigenous communities are hard at work restoring a relative: the buffalo, ray levy uyeda reports. Back from the brink of extinction, buffalo are at the center of an ecological revolution led by Indigenous leaders to heal cultural ties severed by federal policy & restore the wellbeing of ecosystems.

SB6045, a bill to allow farmworker collective bargaining in WA state, will soon be voted on in WAs Senate. This bill is critical for WA farm workers like those at Windmill mushroom who have been fighting to get a contract since 2022. Take action today: act.seiu.org/a/waorganizi...

Gallup will no longer measure presidential approval after 88 years thehill.com/homenews/med...

Trump's promised kinder, gentler Gestapo.

The reason that she makes this appeal is understandable when one realizes that it's how Trump always gets away with it. "Well he's awful personally, but he's good for the economy!*" *My finances/tax evasion schemes, personally, according to the speaker. This is who the crashout is for.

I've been awake for 10 minutes, the entirety of that time has been catching up on Pam Bondi's behavior today and prison is not enough. Prison is not enough. The depths of corruption and self-serving and complicity cannot be adequately responded to with anything that we can do to her.

Aside from the fact that this is just not true, why do we think it's worth fucking around for who knows how many months/years it would take to get there while data centers poison Black communities and accelerate the clean water bankruptcy

“Baby startled when father disappears behind his hands, more at 11.” Credulous boobs.

I don’t even have words for how bootlickingly, compliantly stupid this is coming from a journalist given what just happened to the Washington Post, who made it happen, the complete lack of thought for any marginalized whom it is used against & poisons & the types of fascist things being pushed w/ it

So the catbirds are Orange cats.

My landlord sucks 🙃 which has left me short on grocery money this month. Every little helps 💖✌🏾 ☕️: ko-fi.com/drakoniques/...

I called @durbin.senate.gov, @duckworth.senate.gov, & Rep Danny Davis, & urged them to stay strong: No new funding for ICE, no more funding extensions - impose real, meaningful restrictions on ICE & CBP. We'll dismantle them when we're back in power; right now, this is how we protect our neighbors.

Reminder that “must be able to lift 50 lbs, stand for long periods, have a valid driver’s license” on job applications is a way to weed out disabled applicants. “But what about accommodations?!” Mysteriously, the job always goes to the person who doesn’t need them. Amazing how that happens.

Gwich’in fight to protect caribou from Alaska oil development. For "the caribou people," protecting the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge means protecting a way of life. grist.org/indigenous/g...

fuck gen ai & face scans to participate in social spaces & pay to access articles with important info & ads on everything your eyeballs touch & every other bit of enshittification being shoved into everything just so some asshole can make another dollar while fucking someone else over. man I'm tired

Extremely depressing that The New Yorker is guilelessly parroting this shit!

That sneering "Look at them, eating their rotisserie chickens and drinking their juice," feels less like mockery of Millennials and Gen Z spending habits and more like pushing middle class people back into grocery monopoly brands they're boycotting/avoiding to support more local businesses.

we need mmpbs so badly, but the trade paper/hc collector market is running things especially in genre fiction. readers are ashamed to read in public so they are hoarding 2-6 versions of the same book in different trims to display in their bedrooms.

New Mexico memorial calling for study of forced sterilization against Women of Color advances. New Mexico would be the first state to acknowledge the history of eugenics practices in the US. ictnews.org/news/new-mex...

Just got done making a few more batches of bath bombs, poured up some more soaps + candles and now going to head to bed. Pulled some overtime tonight. Goodnight everyone. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the love and support. 🫶🏽💖✨ Goodnight everyone sleep well.

For the evening crowd and the people on the other side of the planet, we’re kickstarting a Spirit Swap slice-of-life solo TTRPG! Live out your Kiki’s delivery service fantasy in this full color zine✨

I'm reminded of this from @mostlybree.kitrocha.com (which I screengrab only so as to be able to share it along with Claire's post) & I cannot believe what a brilliant idea this is. The creativity that people are bringing to the love they're bringing to the fight against the fascists is breathtaking.

35 degrees Celsius. 70% humidity. The fans are barely working because power is dipping. Lights won't turn on. Fridge is on standby. Probably going to lose the food in it. Have 5 cavities that need to be filled in the next month or I need root canal. ko-fi.com/widowmura/go... Any help appreciated.

you would not BELIEVE which way around this is in our relationship right now

How much would you charge a stranger to kill your child? If you think parents shouldn't have to vax their kids, but say families of disabled children killed by preventable disease can sue, you're pricing their lives. That's what tort liability is: a dollar amount that makes a dead child acceptable

It's just ableism, everywhere, all around.

A dresser inside a museum in New York City has been discovered as a secret stop on the Underground Railroad — the first of its kind discovered in Manhattan in over 100 years

What will those feisty Gen-Zers purchase next? Recklessly splurging on the $1.50 hot dog at Costco? An actual vegetable every other day? Perhaps even a second serving of gruel?

I cannot express how much I hope that what ultimately brings these motherfuckers down are the women who survived them as children.

For non-Americans, children in 8th grade are usually about 12-13 years old.

I strongly suggest parents, care givers', and community members contact their school districts' superintendents and school boards about Epstein & Leon Black's (former CEO of Apollo/Life Touch) friendship. This cause is close to my heart - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/en...
