welcome to seattle, our weed is very strong www.seattletimes.com/sports/world...

More 10-year-olds say they want puppies than parents do. What's behind the divide?

Okay I probably got a job. Temporary but could be pretty fun. Wrangling kiddos.

"unpaid labor" is a hell of a way to describe slavery

I’ll never forget watching these videos and then waiting for the next one to get posted. Just an elite time in the history of the internet. The different angles, the different reactions. Absolute gold.

a painful lesson is that caring deeply about any kind of injustice makes you vulnerable to the type of person who is cynical and selfish enough to use the language of justice in the pursuit of (inter)personal power

there is nothing, nothing on this earth, no righteous cause, no language of liberation and justice, NOTHING that is immune to being twisted and weaponized by someone who believes in nothing and is committed enough to their own power

these are our so called "leaders". the political syestem is a lost cause, it was always a fucking charade, if you still think pleading to these bastards to give us rights is a good idea you are an utter fool and they are laughing at you.

✨JUNETEENTH MUTUAL AID THREAD ✨ Here’s a thread with Black folks you can support in celebration of #Juneteenth. Do some good - even if you’re sending $3 to a Black person to treat themselves to a dessert or a coffee! Circulate & give to at least one person in the thread if you have the means 💜

Just an FYI… 🏳️‍🌈

Everything conservatives do is in service of bringing back more slavery by any means necessary. And liberals love helping them do it.

They'll lock me right up for being a leftist with a mental health history if we let them do this shit. They'll lock up women who get PTSD from abuse again.

And since it’s impossible to get some of y’all to care unless it’s directly impacting you—yes, this means they will be trying to institutionalize people for queerness and political dissent. This is one of those urgent red lines and I am seeing zero alarm in nondisabled people.

Here’s more. www.aapd.com/aapd-horrifi...

DOJ memo suggesting “interpreting” Olmsted differently. The Supreme Court decision that affirms disabled people’s right to live in a community instead of institutionalization. If you don’t push back against this, nondisabled Americans, we’re in deep shit. From your son with an IEP to your grandma.

I watched a video about a NYT opinion article and now I'm mad and only have myself and the NYT to blame.

happy juneteenth bluesky!! if you’re Black and in need of mutual aid drop your link in the replies ♥️

in am*rica they kill you if the amount you paid in taxes doesn't match the secret number the IRS makes up

first step is we are born and everything is 'how can i get more i gotta take care of me.' then we learn to share and learn 'gotta make sure everyones even' but DANG there is something really powerful about a third step of walkin into a room and saying 'how can i make sure everyone has more than me?'

The people inside the Adelanto concentration camp are asking for help.

racists on the internet: people in japan have never heard of lgbt stuff #1 japanese mascot chiitan:

Not my best work, but felt like this was what's on the menu for Bsky today.

The money and the desire and the demand and the plan and the malice are not the same thing as completion, fight like hell, they are announcing their plans long before they're close to completion, they're strategically ass backward, weak, cowardly pathetic fools

Hey!! If your company is giving you Juneteenth off tomorrow, take five minutes to read what the day is about and THEN drop a lil money at a Black-owned local business. Be real punk rock about it

The Minneapolis activists arrested for defending their communities this week heartened and comforted each other in their jail cells by singing.

One of the reasons I wouldn't vote for Hillary in 2016 (please calm down libs I live in an intractably blue state), down from her calling Black kids super predators, was because she was a massive war hawk salivating to attack Iran. Of course she would have genocided the Palestinians.

Remember when people found in hilary Clinton's book that she explained that irl no joke,her family and her owned slaves and later it oddly just was ignored by the news? Yeeahh

Anyone want to pay me to write smut

I made a short film about losing my wallet while legally homeless in the US—& the bureaucratic, Kafka-like terror which followed to prove I existed. This is threat facing millions of USians who are legally homeless and/or unsheltered. (With @propublica.org & @brian-goldstone.bsky.social cameos)

Can't even give white blood cells! Damn it's hard to make money these day.

Will the Supreme Court allow the concentration camps to be more explicitly concentration camps? Probably.

Billionaire pedophiles who attack children are bad and people who put themselves on the line to defend their neighbors against fascism are good.

Protests broke out in Senatobia, Mississippi, amid mounting anger over the police killing of 1-year-old Kohen Wiley. Police tear-gassed protesters at the Walmart where the shooting happened, even as the city placed the officer on administrative leave. www.mississippifreepress.org/anger-mounts...

Really need people to stop saying that the Minnesota 15 are going to be fine, that their charges will be dropped like ours. That was four days before trial, was NOT supposed to happen, and only did because of persistent, diligent, and incredible work by our lawyers.

Hey all! If you want to help out, here is how you can do it!

Within 6 months of the iPhone being released, evangelical churches lost a *significant* number of their younger rural members. They could use the Internet without a shared computer or going to the library, and could look up the things their pastors said and go "Hey, he's full of shit."

I had this exact argument with someone who made the "You'll get left behind! A person who uses a tool will always beat a person who doesn't use a tool!" Yo, I handwrite all my edits instead of using the computer, and I do this because THAT IS THE BETTER TOOL for the job I need to do.

😎🥰 A reminder that another world is possible and we're building it brick by brick.

It's not uncommon to be intersex and as an adult have a different gender than the one you were raised as. Many if us don't find out until puberty, or later, even when our parents or Drs know, because they've deliberately kept it from us. 1/

Looks good. Add frogs.
