wendell berry QUESTIONNAIRE

My no-fun-at-parties take is that "christmas is a secular holiday" is an uncomfortable way of assuring me that christianity is the status quo and everything outside of that is an aberration. Sorry! It's still a christian holiday!! Just because you're an atheist doesn't make it secular!

people have FOMO about parties but i have FOMO about homeownership

Maybe if I sigh heavily enough it will produce enough force to propel me through this day

“If £1b were to suddenly appear in their bank account, would euthanasia still be necessary? “If the answer is no, that's not euthanasia; it's social murder.”

This was meant to be our holiday card for family but i feel compelled to share it today for some reason...

I think that we are all underestimating how terrible the economy is going to be next year. A lot of the impact(s) of the horror bill will come on line in the next couple of years.

Reminder: It's never too late to start wearing a mask again

When I talk to my students about law and resistance, I talk about how people tend to think in terms of whether they would’ve acted in 1942, but that they should instead ask themselves what they would’ve done in 1933.

Abolitionist John Brown was executed by the state of Virginia on December 2, 1859.

I tire of the culture that asks us to classify and pathologize every personality quirk or idiosyncrasy. At the same time, I recognize how we live in systems that require us to identify our “deficiencies” in order to get support. Exhausting, all of it, really.

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

World AIDS Day. We remember.

Multiple disabilities. Was hard enough for me to accept but then to deal with judgement from others was awful.

Your yearly reminder that “holiday” celebrations that only include Christian traditions are not, in fact, inclusive even if you don’t use the word Christmas, so tbh I’d rather you just say it’s Christmas.

Waut so some folks in Congress made a video saying yo you don't have to follow illegal orders and the president got so mad he starting tweeting about hanging them, do I have that right?

"ICE is grabbing people from the streets who aren't even undocumented or don't have criminal records at all" babe i don't think there is a group of people ICE should be grabbing people off the streets in the first place

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

To paraphrase an acquaintance of mine "when it comes down to a fight between two shitty people, I'm rooting for the fight and I want both of them to lose."

Those who don't learn from the past are doomed to repeat it Those who DO learn from the past are doomed to yell "AAAAARRRRGGGHHHH" all the time

may her memory be for a revolution

Humans need other human beings to survive. I'm sorry that this makes some people lose their shit but it's one of the key truths of life.

What a terrible day to know how to read

everything I know about the Nuzzi/RFK Jr affair I have learned against my will

"Our actions are working, and they are not enough. Nothing we do is sufficient, and everything we do matters. We must be strategic, and we must operate on multiple fronts simultaneously. Time is of the essence, and we have to act for the long haul. This is how change happens." Dan Berger

Every time Covid and learning loss hits the news, people act like the only factor is folk staying home and learning online, rather than… Living through a global mass death event.

People are so busy yelling at voters that "elections have consequences," they never yell "politics have consequences" at their elected officials.

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

Hope all those 1 percenters are packing their bags as promised. We should hold them to it.

I WANT MY TAX MONEY PAYING FOR KIDS TO EAT LOBSTER AND STEAK AND COOKIES, NOT PAYING TO BOMB PALESTINIAN AND SUDANESE KIDS AND INVADING VENEZUELA.

Stop killing trans kids!!!! Fuck!!!!!

just remember

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

I get these fact-checks re tylenol/Autism lawsuit but what is very much needed is messaging of "If you think your kids' autism diagnosis is that devastating, please seek help before your child feels the effect of your anti-autism views."

On the one hand, fuck Reagan and everything associated with him. Also fuck Doug Ford and everything associated with him. On the other hand, driving right-wingers into an incoherent rage by playing a recording of Reagan is the absolute peak of trolling. Masterful.

has anyone said "permanent government shutdown" yet

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness) As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)
