the two things keeping my brain okay right now (volunteering at repair cafes, going to dance class) do not at all involve computer. i am going to learn nothing from this.

I can’t tell you how much good could be done right now by average citizens socially cold-shouldering anyone tangentially working for ICE.

The brain tricks us constantly. It mistakes scrolling and "seeking information" for DOING THINGS. That is not doing. You have to act.

I wrote this essay right after inauguration day and it’s even more true today. dansinker.com/posts/202…

small in the scheme of things, but a well functioning government could stop u from getting 12 to 25 scam texts about fake jobs per day

You want to be alive, but they want you dead. We’re a new, well, funded democratic group that thinks you can meet them halfway.

Rather than seeing this as a political project, I would suggest it's better to see this as a reflection of an economy increasingly centered around the extremely niche emotional needs of people with billions of dollars to spare...

hey! looks like I'm finally gonna get the fuck off tiktok.

grown men afraid to take the subway meanwhile on the subway it’s just a dude trying to wrestle his plastic model skeleton and his electric keyboard back into his ikea bag

from my latest: "The trans-shooter myth largely began circulating in 2023 around the Nashville shooting, 'as the right began rolling back LGBTQ rights in earnest'... Two years later, and just a decade after the so-called trans tipping point, anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage."

In this moment of emergency, a lot of people are realizing that they can just… do things. Without people giving them directions or instructions, people are just showing up to escort their neighbors to school, to cook them meals, to share resources & support.

some personal news

Dear NYC: 1. The last day to register to vote is October 25, 2025. 2. There will be two mayoral debates, on Thursday, October 16 and Wednesday, October 22.

started reading casey last year> lifting > carried a bookshelf home by myself that i found on the nyc sidewalk and a passing construction guy said "girl you look STRONG" read this book and that could be u

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

The route from DC to Boston is 475 miles. This would be an hour and a half without stops. Probably 2 hours tops with them. It could go from DC to New York in 45 minutes. We could have this if we didn't suck.

It's clear that printing and distribution of my publication TASKS FOR THE NATIONAL GUARD IN CHICAGO is going to disrupt my life at a time when I have no time, so here are files you can print from. It's a double-sided 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper. Please do not edit the text. Have fun!

only so many words you can put in a headline but the whole response is loud and proud support for the trans community and worth reading

"Age verification" laws are actually "upload your ID or get your face scanned to access every website, ending anonymity and associating your identity with everything you do online" laws and if more people understood that they would not be down for this authoritarian nonsense

If the AI bubble really is bursting, please take this lesson from it: Nothing marketed to you this relentlessly is ever worth it. If it was, they wouldn’t need to beg you.

I’m going to keep saying this- You don’t fight fascism with fascism light. We don’t fight fascism by sacrificing Gaza, trans folks, unhoused people, migrants, etc. We fight fascism by building a strong coalition INCLUDING everyone and fighting for a better world for EVERYONE. There’s no other way

andrew cuomo does not know what rent stabilization is

something here about the pattern of domestic abuse also starts with isolating you from your friends and loved ones so you don't have outside support

hear me out here, what if none of it is a 'distraction' and they're just doing a lot of horrible shit simultaneously

Eric Adams is persistently a clown but removing a bike lane he had installed in order to try to gain a few hundred votes in an election he will lose by hundred of thousands is certainly his best work.

A good reminder about the dangers of posting

Two million people are being threatened with forced starvation in #Palestine, as the US government continues to support ongoing ethnic-cleansing. We've created a list of on-the-ground mutual aid groups in #Gaza that you can support, amplify, and follow. itsgoingdown.org/your-guide-o...

Because this is unbearable, I just gave to the Sameer Project - recommended by @prisonculture.bsky.social. linktr.ee/thesameerpro...

The clerks where I get my lunch said a man came in last week and asked them where the public entrance to 26 Federal Plaza was. He locked his bike outside, and it’s been there since.

Sauceless. Zero charisma. Also this mf is STILL pronouncing Mamdani’s name incorrectly

Eric Adams, a gentile, going after Brad Lander, a Jew, for not investing in Israel because Adams is running on the End Antisemitism party line to try to salvage his own corrupt legacy and hold onto power is really giving the game away in a way that I hope people notice

re-upping this bsky.app/profile/zohr...

*thinking face*

its all so fucking sad, man, idk

the president just opened a concentration camp

hey!

a thing i like about humans is we all have our own house blend of verbal quirks and stock phrases that we sprinkle over everything, maybe even too much, that make us sound like us.

I can't tell if it's because I'm too NYC focused but does it feel like the news cycle spent more time crashing out on the fact that NYC picked a brown Muslim dude as is primary candidate then it did on a right wing extremist who shot 2 Minnesota legislators killing one, her husband and dog?

you love to see it hellgatenyc.com/brad-lander-...

Brad Lander working himself into the national conversation just by being a guy who says true things and not being a racist and doesn’t hate being a Democrat should be a lesson to folks but it won’t be

This guy was indicted for bribery lmao

I hate making angry phone calls, I hate engaging with these ghouls, I’m sure you do too, but: it’s a beautiful day to call Gillibrand’s office, especially if you’re one of her constituents, and express your outrage at her hideous Islamophobia and outright lies. NYC office: (212) 688-6262

thinking about him (danny devito tweeting "supreme court my ass" on june 24, 2022)

Mamdani won because he went outside. Hi, I'm Brandi. I'm a political consultant now. Go outside. Everyone online is so annoying. Try being annoying IRL around offline people. It'll fix you.

i love when rich new yorkers are like “tax me too much and ill leave.” no they won’t. new yorkers are obsessed with new york, especially wealthy new yorkers. where else can they feel like the emperor in his glittering imperial core? indianapolis? be serious

it is funny so many people are surprised the young, handsome, multi-lingual guy with a detailed platform focused on affordability—that he effectively communicated at rallies, debates, and in videos—beat the billionaire-funded, corrupt, sex pest, who had to resign in disgrace and barely campaigned

Zohran at the rally for trans youth on february 8 ❣️ he was polling single digits.
