My left ankle is in an ever worsening sprain because I can't afford orthopedic shoes on top of not being able to afford enough food I need at least $1000 to cover necessary expenses that are directly related to my wellbeing Please help if you can #MutualAidRequest

Literally our only hope.

New article out this month on how doctors become fascists. 50% of German physicians joined the Nazi Party––twice the proportion of any other profession. US doctors today are arguably the most conservative in the world, and we're heading along a similar path. drive.google.com/file/d/1CAk9...

Niemoller was a Nazi—the poem is about how collaboration won’t save you, let alone neutrality

not to mention the fucking professional atheist scientists who provide the entire foundation for anti-trans bigotry by saying "science PROVES there are only two sexes!" May their underpants never be dry again.

One of the things about this study is that a lot of baby and toddler books are written in house, by editors. So the study reveals the whiteness of editorial in kidlit even if not explicitly. But, big picture, this trend is unacceptable. I remember so many promises www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...

Abolish the notwithstanding clause

This murder is why we still have to say BLACK LIVES MATTER Kingsley Bimpong should be alive.

that johnson is more terrified of seating a duly elected democrat who could force an epstein vote than having the entire government shut down really makes me wonder about that epstein vote tbh

Before the Gilgo Beach murderer there was Joel Rifkin. He killed 17 women on Long Island between 1989 and 1993 (mostly sex workers). He was caught because he was driving a car w/o a license plate & had a dead victim in his car at the time. Police weren’t even looking

Abolish the Nobel prizes Yes all of them

Nothing so far and I am very much in need of help #MutualAidRequest

I’m queer and disabled. I’m unable to work and only receive $420/month in benefits. I run out of money and food which is terrible for my physical and mental health Please help me stay fed PayPal.me/crippledscholar ko-fi.com/crippledscho... Buymeacoffee.com/crippledscholar #MutualAid

So, all those years I was a French immersion student and didn’t know the English word for it, I was still getting it right but was just outdated

They don’t teach it anymore so this won’t be a problem for much longer Everything is print from here on out And no I don’t think cursive is the necessary basis of education This solves the chicken scratch problem because printing is less likely to be illegible

"training" is the consistent liberal canard. nope people, this is THEIR JOB. they are doing what they are hired to do.

so this month i shall read 1. the monk 2. the castle of otranto 3. the mysteries of udolpho 4. gerard or the world, the flesh and the devil 5. the vampyre 6. carmila 7. the turn of the screw 8. the narrative of arthur gordon pym 9. vathek 10. the king in yellow

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

It cannot be made clearer. If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Also, the way to not "die on that hill" is to be united. These folks who want to jettison trans folks, immigrants, Black folks, etc. are so short sighted they think it'd be a victory to die a couple steps later, when choosing solidarity is actually choosing to not die at all

I have important forms that need to be dropped off in person (because Canada Post is on strike) by next week. I need help with travel costs Anything helps #MutualAidRequest

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

I stopped calling Octavia butlers work prophetic once I realized she herself literally said that her work was influenced by deeply studying history which gave have her insight into the future. I realized I was watering down how truly brilliant she was and what she was trying to get across

eventually politicians need to start advocating for criminal and civil penalties for people involved in fabricating stories to get citizens incarcerated. or, put another way: a society that would like to keep functioning has to discourage baldfaced lying, especially by authorities

This framing is eugenics Everyone inadvertently contributes a small amount to climate change Picking out disabled people as a focus regarding life saving medicine can only come from prejudice

I don’t use a wheelchair but I’m pretty sure if you can physically enter 90% of private homes that you are oppressed Introverts not so much

Thank the gods I’m Canadian

My disabled ass will die on the hill of introverts aren’t oppressed

Not at all sure why we went with budget Santas

Do all those liberals and "don't pester Bluesky CEO/engineers" people still think nothing is wrong, and this place is doing fine or

I was not aware that the guy who strategically refuses to speak English was apolitical

You have no income stream without users Users are what give a social network its value How are you confused about this in 2025?

it is genuinely shocking how much rage @jay.bsky.team and the devs seem to have for their user base. suspending Erin Biba over an old post just because she’s been criticizing you is deeply fucked up. fix this shit.

also just feels important to point out that after a whole wave of trans users were suspended for pointing out JK Rowling’s transphobia, now apparently we are suspending Jewish users for pointing out Christian Zionists’ antisemitism the pattern is, uh not subtle

She adds that violations of ICE agents' rights can't be addressed if they won't identify themselves. She concedes it can be "scary" to be followed home or harassed, but adds, "That doesn't mean you get to do this job and be anonymous."

Replies from bots or people with bot energy always want to tell me I'm not allowed to criticize my own senator without also providing a full rundown of what I'd like him to be doing differently. The answer is I would like him either to be diffusing tear gas in the streets or resigning. No inbetween.

There was 1 girl in my high school whose parents wouldn’t let her take sex ed It put a target on her back and she was subjected to a sexual harassment based curriculum on the bus ride home

Whole damn thread is a word. Ive been going back and reading Baldwin again and got dang he gets it right every time

Bigotry isn't mental illness.

“It just wasn’t meant to happen! Having a stable income and a roof over one’s head is simply a luxury not intended for some of us,” Bernard explained.

This is genuinely some bullshit on bsky's part. A reaction meme of charlie kirk gets a Black person a permanent suspension, but people who actively doxx and spread hate against marginalized people not only get to stay, but het followed by mods? We see you, bsky, and it's pretty fucking disgusting.

If and when America finds a way out of authoritarianism, not only will ICE have to be abolished: All these people will need to be held accountable in a court of law for the monstrosities they are committing - those who are ordering them as well as those who are carrying them out. Every single one.

So you want to support living marginalized banned authors but your local banned books week displays and events are full of famous dead people? Not to worry: your helpful non-binary bookseller is here to help! A thread!

Yup. Many a debate with coworkers and friends 24 years ago and this was what MANY of us concluded would come.

Reminder from your resident high school lubrarian: if you plan to do a Banned Books Week display and programming, prioritize living marginalized authors. Use this time to help those who need it the most.

You know, if the Democrats were actually doing a good job of fighting back, I might at least emotionally understand why people are like “don’t criticize their historical complicity” but also they’re a fucking dumpster fire right now
