"You have a high body count" Yes. High enough to reach the sky, block the Sun, and despoil the land so that you, specifically, can starve to death. 😌

I’m considerably more pissed off about the BAFTAS airing the slur while they censored other things that were not fucking slurs

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

Due to recent discussions: when I worked at a library, I was trained on how to politely but directly respond to unwanted sexual comments. Unfortunately commonly-marketed fantasies about librarians mean it happens a lot. Rehearse these. Be comfortable saying them forcefully, but politely.

It's difficult, in order to pass where I have to pass, folks have to believe I'm not as disabled as I am, for my protection because it undermines my perceived competence, & they would never actually believe how disabled I am. I am actually fighting so hard to function at an abled standard & masking.

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesota—KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation. Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

This is totally non-standard for any publication. Every pub everywhere pretty much cleans up uhms, uhm, and vocal tics like that, which EVERYONE DOES. This is extremely intentional. If I was writing this I’d probably do the quote “this is of course a very longstanding policy of the United States”

The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Oh nooo that thing literally everyone warned me could happen has happened, how could I have ever anticipated such a turn of events

They never watched the hit Disney Channel Original Movie™️ Smart House (1999) and it shows

YOU MUZZLED APPA?! 😮‍💨

I’m sorry, you’re doing interpretive dance on ice skates, there is a limit to how heterosexual you can make this look

I'm going to do a thread of all the references and context behind Bad Bunny's performance and what it means for Puerto Ricans to see this on the biggest stage. The opening title screen is a street mural in Puerto Rico that comes to life with footballs as coconuts. Follow along!

Birnam Wood has come to Dunsinane

It is super weird whenever someone sets up a new Substack and I can't say I have regrets about ditching the platform at all

"I need AI to make art, human art is only for the rich and privileged-"

could we please retire the word "testing"? you mean "violating

I AM FURIOUS. Adobe Animate remains an industry standard for TV animation. Star Trek: Lower Decks was made in Animate. Haunted Hotel was made in Animate. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was made in Animate. And because you can't buy a permanent licence anymore, it'll just be gone.

ICYMI, Gai*man is slinking out of the shadows and posting again, trying to scuttle his way back into the public's good graces. Please take care of yourselves, believe women, believe survivors, and fuck that guy.

'measles outbreak at the child prison' seems entirely avoidable, it's really the kind of thing that only happens if you do several unthinkably evil things on purpose all at once

The wrong perverts run this country

Tighten rules on warrants? Body cameras? HOW ABOUT A SIGNED JUDICIAL WARRANT FOR EVERYTHING! HOW ABOUT THEY LEAVE MINNESOTA AND NEVER CARRY OUT ANYTHING AKIN TO MINNESOTA IN ANY OTHER STATE. I DON'T WANT BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE OF THE ATROCITIES I WANT THEM TO STOP. I AM SO FUCKING FURIOUS!!!!

We have to give up hope of making random people who haven't seen reason yet see reason. It won't work. We are not here to save their souls. We are here to save the people being hurt.

This is the GM firing an assistant coach and hoping that will be the end of the questions, except with fascism.

The disparities in these numbers are fucking terrible. A quantification of how much more valuable a white and then American life is than an immigrant POC. Links to fundraisers in thread. bsky.app/profile/last...

I CANAE BREATHE!!!

Anti-blackness is always the fulcrum. For 10+ years we watched Black people suffocated by cops on camera, Blak children shot down with impunity, Haitian migrants whipped by overseers on horseback, mass incarceration, surveillance & criminalization of our resistance. We were always heading here.

All I know is when this is over, y'all better not treat Trump like a fancy dignified president emeritus or something. Dubya is watching everybody else take the fall for ICE in retirement with a whitewashed public image over all his crimes.

HEADS UP: DO NOT TRUST BLINKMOON. IT'S A SCAM. blinkmoon.com

babes, it is a cost of living issue if your family's main breadwinner has been disappeared off the street wtf are you even saaaaaaaaying

Calling all the PhDs I know to make monumental annoyances of themselves (and honestly, who better)

When I see you “playing around with” ChatGPT “for fun” this is what I see you contributing to btw. It’s not cute, it’s not fun, it’s damaging. Just because you don’t personally see it doesn’t mean there’s no cost.

hey I like that we're all posting thru it but I also wanted to say, in case anybody else is feeling it, that I'm pretty scared and genuinely think that we've passed a real rubicon in the past week or so and that being at the mercy of a handful of dumbfuck lunatics really does a number on your soul.

I'm overdrafted, out of groceries, and hoping to raise $100 for the week. Shares are a huge help, thank you!

Also hate "this is not about politics." Sorry people, you have to GROW UP. EVERY DAMNED THING IS POLITICAL. Everything. The word people are searching for is PARTISAN.

hey friends, i don't have any money for food right now and i've run out. i have to take my tki (cancer) medication, but i need to eat something first. if anyone can help, please do? i don't have anything coming in for a while. paypal.me/thelongestroad

There have been confirmed reports from local organizers in Portland ME that ICE is knocking on doors claiming to be from MaineCare and “offering help“

i think gavin newsom fucking sucks and if you ever try to guilt me into voting for him i’ll scream

If he wants to declare martial law, he will. It won't be based on reality. I don't know why some people continue to say: "be peaceful or he'll invoke martial law." Are you all living in this country in 2026???? Haven't you seen them make things up out of whole cloth???? Are you 10 years old?
