I suspect the Pope sounds "woke" to many Christian conservatives because the US is steeped in prosperity theology, where the point of worship is to deliver health and wealth to believers. Thus, "feed the hungry" and "show mercy for the poor" sounds needlessly political and "woke."

Dawg, stuff costs more. Period. If I make more money but shit costs more relative to what I make, I don’t have more money.

SHOVE THIS INTO MY EYEBALLS

I've never met @mollyknight.bsky.social at all (besides exchanging gifts in Pokemon Go). But she's one of the best. Brava to her.

Y'all really need to consider STFU about things. You can't know more than the chair of the actual association. Your campaign against trans people (trans minors in particular) is galling. An abomination. Those who run this campaign will get what they deserve in the end. Just wait.

I don't think trans people should be imprisoned for 5 years because they have to pee

Stop worrying about what YA books to let your kids read and let them sort it out with V C Andrews and cocaine era Stephen King as God intended

wouldn't be the first time disney killed sora

The "in front of Zendaya" elevates this to art, for me

If you wish people had come forward sooner, help create a world where they feel safe doing so, where it isn't going to ruin their mental health and haunt them for years. Or, you know. Shut the fuck up.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, New York.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

Inadvertently makes a case here for why we need to keep the humanities in school

There is a very real effort to recruit people into antisemitism and to use that to then feed people into white supremacy. PLEASE do not fall into this trap.

This is a site full of 30 or 40 year olds. Alt text is not only important for accessibility reasons, it is the only way some of us will know who these people in your red carpet photos are!

Every now and then, a thread comes along that makes you say, "I agree 1,000%."

Sports gambling should be legal but you should have to go to an actual building to do it and it should be so off-putting and sad you’ll never want to do it again

github.com/upper-up/met... Reddit took it down, here's the Git

Big same! So much internalized shame for having a type that wasn't "conventionally attractive" (by whom? for what?) and what? FOR WHAT?

tummy outline, pencil skirt. repost. you agree

Our volunteer collective of whistle printers is up past 1.2 million whistles shipped. It's happening very quietly, because we've basically settled into a groove, but we are still here for all your whistle needs. linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

You're wrong about bad faith, given that there are many limitations in place at campuses now that did not exist before BECAUSE of those protests. Furthermore, risk is higher since the ruling government now will disappear you if you step out of line—citizenship be damned.

Never misses. When he tells you to flip to a game, flip to the game.

🙄🙄🙄 This is a preposterous viewpoint. Completely nonsensical.

I just want to point out that the same payment processors who hassle sex workers and erotica producers will gladly process any bets you want to make on war crimes.

Okay, funnily enough, I knew about this law. It's so bizarre given, well, where I live now. And the fact that Walmart and Target now sell, *ahem*, "Marital Aids".

getting serious replies to my Travis Kelce jokes so here are the facts of the case: has Kelce's play dropped off: yes is Kelce good enough to keep playing in the NFL: also yes should Kelce keep playing football after the world's wealthiest, most popular musician wrote a song about his penis: no

in case anyone wondered, this mid-major madness moderator thinks anyone trying to pull a riley gaines is a vile human and deserves all the ridicule for throwing their teammates to the wolves

this is like the thesis statement of our times

move slow and repair things

I gather you are a naïve dolt. So…🤷🏾‍♂️

Some good news for this Friday. This astonishing group of people have spun up ERICA, the ERIC archive. www.datarescueproject.org/erica-to-the... #GLAMS #Skybrarians #AcademicSky

11 points to flip 2007 Missouri's first game against OU. 8 points to flip the Red River Shootout from that season. That leads to Mizzou playing Texas in the Big XII title game instead of rematching OU. 2 points for this year's FCS title game. Yes, these are personal to me. 😂

TIL that the L, 2, and 8 are in three different typefaces, and I'm not going to be able to unsee that for the next two years, goddamnit.

If you're a trans person in Kansas who had your drivers license invalidated, you can absolutely trust @marisakabas.bsky.social to handle your story with care. I vouch for her 100%.

We are counter-programming the State of the Union with a fundraising telethon featuring everyone’s favorite Bluesky posters doing short presentations and sketches on stuff they are passionate about. Will stream on YouTube starting at 8:30pm EST postersmadness.wordpress.com

Accidents happen But they still cause injury Even if you don’t mean to do it Accidents cause injury Take care of the injury even if its an accident

the exhibition gala is so cool. all sporting championships should have a ”hey come thru and do whatever” afterparty. this is what the pro bowl could be

@clairewillett.bsky.social From what I have seen, the house takes up to 50% of the tips from providers at brothels.

And also ties into higher ed funding/defunding. Which is, in part, tied to a larger idea of classism and structural racism in particular. Everything is connected, y'all.

Y'all, tomorrow we are going to cross 500,000 whistles shipped in February, which is just a staggering and bananas thing. We have a few printers under our "HELP SEND FILAMENT" wishlists tonight, so if you want to keep the ball rolling... linktr.ee/WhistleWishl...

Ho-lee Shit. This is phenomenally good news. Department of Education rolls back— for now— its attempts to destroy Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility initiatives. Keep an eye on them, of course, and watch for the hidden knife, always, but for now: Fantastic news.

Well, yes. Morality should matter, no? Also, define in concrete terms how you know the audience is bigger over there?

Rev. Jesse Jackson's "I *am* somebody..." remains one of the all-time great pieces of 20th century rhetoric / agitprop And he could deliver it at a Black separatist meeting, the Democratic National Convention, or on god-blessed Sesame Street (see below 🥹) RIP to the Voice of the Voiceless

How many of the media outlets eulogizing Rev. Jesse Jackson today spent decades trying to undermine his work & turn him into a punchline?

sorry Pink Floyd, turns out that we needed education. a lot of it. all of the education, really

cannot believe it still needs to be said: suggesting sex workers should just fuck the misogynists is misogyny. you don’t “manage” male supremacy with sex workers’ lives and labor

The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch are the first group of legally licensed sex workers to unionize in U.S. history (!!!). Their new union website states their demands as “safety on the job, better working conditions, and control over their own futures.” unitedbworkers.com
