Anyone can lose their home. And there is a basic human right to Shelter. Never mind having a true "Home" or "Abode". Just that. Just Shelter!

We need to push them to stop saying "homelessness problem" and start saying "housing crisis which will come for anyone"! We are all about to enter the Next Great Depresson... Buckle in, my friends. It's gonna be a bumpy ride! 💙🩶🤍 🌠🥂

Deep breath. Hoooooot... You made it through this Monday. Unclench that jaw. Roll back those shoulders. Hydrate. You're amazing. I'm proud of you. 💕✨️ Repost if you'd like so your friends get a sweet reminder too. 🦉

Tomorrow, it begins.

But of course, feminism has never been completely consistent in this. The early second wave in particular returned again and again to psychoanalysis to explain how gendered consciousness came into being, and how that "went wrong".

The second wave never escaped the idea of something "natural" underlying the "distortions" of patriarchy which led smoothly into the worst abuses of cultural feminism and smuggled all kinds of gender essentialism into supposedly anti-essentialist work.

For cis feminism, explaining the psychological mechanisms by which cis women are forced to accept their place in patriarchy was a route to helping women liberate themselves from those mechanisms. Explaining queer people within those same mechanisms was explaining us away. Telling us we're not real.

Social constructionism, contrary to reactionary fucks like Pinker, does not collapse if humans aren't perfect blank slates. Even Marx gestured broadly at species being somewhere underneath the mode of production.

What a fucking beautiful two-sentence home run of a summary of the tension trans people bring to feminism simply by existing. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

"Don't mind me, I'm just happy to be here as me!"

I don't think that's necessarily a contradiction. In theory, ego-death would lead to understanding that all are deserving of dignity and all have worth, including the self. So if you had low self-worth, deflating the ego would necessarily raise your consciousness of your own self-worth!

Transition is fucking weird. Nothing else I've ever done has so dramatically deflated my ego while simultaneously making my self-worth skyrocket.

The Department for Work and Pensions has been unable to explain why its chief medical adviser has no responsibility for safeguarding across significant parts of its work, including for key roles introduced after a disabled claimant starved to death. #DWP #BenefitDeaths

Removing the menstrual products from the mens’ room is both petty and vicious. What a fucking jerk.

It is most unfortunate that this thread is very accurate. I can attest to its veracity.

Being chronically ill means existing in a body that doesn’t function, living a life others can’t understand, suffering nearly 24/7 while being constantly told you’re not good enough. No matter what you do, it’ll never be enough because disabled people are seen as less than. 🧵

A gentle reminder that you should always resist the temptation to tag a creative person into a negative review of their work. It doesn't matter what your intentions are, it's kind of an asshole maneuver. You are free to say whatever you like, of course. Making it their problem, however, is not kind.

ABA is conversion therapy for #Autistic people. It strips us of our coping mechanisms and forces us to conform to neurotypical societal rules. It demands we that we behave with restrictions, followed by repercussions for nonconformity. ABA is NOT therapy. It is ABUSE. #SayNoToABA

This is GOOD, actually. ABA is abuse for autistic people because it treats a neurological difference as a behavior. Basic needs like stimming, avoiding sensory pain, and natural communication are suppressed, causing myriad mental health conditions. #ABAisAbuse #SayNoToABA

This is a really good video that explains the benefits of N95 masks: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAda...

Yep. It's why authoritarians ALWAYS attack schools- defunding them, campaigning against what they are allowed to teach, and trying to create their own propaganda-factories. DeVos was a HUGE part of the chump's first term damage.

It's why they ban or burn books. It's why they consider teachers and students the "enemy."

Perfect time to read Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower since this is the last year it'll be found in the fiction section.

I’m always happy to see masks return to hospitals, but they do it too late They KNOW mask mandates work. How many patients were infected? Hospital acquired covid has a 10% mortality rate… how many died? Not to mention the BC teen with bird flu visited the ER twice - with no mask mandate

If it even needs to be stated, we are pro-migrant rights! This is actual fascism, and needs to be mitigated at all costs. 🩶🩶🩶💢

Not the usual thing we post about, but this is horrific. United Farm Workers union members are being rounded up by ICE over in the US. Your support can help! 💙 You can donate directly to UFW here. They need all the help they can get! >>> ufw.org/donateAnd <<< |

I hope everyone affected by the fires stays safe. Even if you don't have to evacuate. Please be cautious regarding the air quality. Cause that's incredibly dangerous. Please wear a N95 or better mask. Stay indoors and pack a to go bag with essentials just in case.

These teenagers and young men — 95% of whom are Black, Latinx, or Filipino — earn between $2.20 and $4 per hour, plus an additional $1 an hour when they’re actively fighting fires, according to the DJJ. ⤵️

What is needed is investment into investigation, social work, everything. We need a system which believes victims, rather than dismissing them, especially based on class, income, age etc. Frankly we need to take immigration, race and religion out of it, and focus on dealing with the whole lot. 9/

“We became the butt of very irritating jokes all intended to distract from the real reason we were actively disenfranchised: to stop political organizing dead in its heels by crushing the aspirations of an entire generation.”
