This infuriating attitude shows up on the bookshelves in learning environments, too. We expect girls to empathize with boys, but we kneecap every opportunity to let boys empathize with girls. And look where we are.

I know I’m picking an absolutely unnecessary fight here but Finn’s arc in The Last Jedi is good actually

Literally 75% of my job right now is tricking students into NOT asking AI anything and thinking through things themselves before they’ve realized what they’ve done

Check this piece by Brandy out. If you're not familiar with this conspiracy theory (it's really big with liberals on Threads, portions of TikTok, Instagram), this is a good place to start. I shared on Threads and got messages from people accusing me of being "in on it." Straight up QAnon stuff.

Jesse Singal: spends an entire decade trying to uncover a massive wave of desisters & detransitioners that never materialized also Jesse Singal: "trans people are the real conspiracy theorists!"

One of the neighbors’ kids is chanting at his sister: “You love a ginger! I love a gingerphile!”

Welp there goes my dream imprint

How do we get all these loser ritual obsessed kids to stop flocking to Catholicism and go back to taking drugs and performing Greek Bacchanalia in the woods like normal people?

I’m kinda lukewarm on “The Drama” as a movie but I’m very confused by the people scandalized by it.

you do not have to hand it to tucker carlson or marjorie taylor greene or alex jones or megyn kelly. they're all rats who see trump as a sinking ship and they're getting ready to jump in preparation for their next act. you do not have to fall for it.

The president threatened to blow up and entire country yesterday why are we still doing this

Not sure how I feel about a Dime Square writer getting named a “5 Under 35”

"I allowed myself to be tokenized and cosigned a bunch of conservative propaganda, and now the reactionaries who tolerated me for a little bit have gone back to openly despising me" Womp fucking womp.

I feel like I could write a really awesome teen soap opera. I’m positive this opportunity will never present itself but I think I’d kill that shit

The fact that nobody seriously believes there is an institution in this country that will check the president—that we’re all just sitting here hoping that he gets distracted and fails to follow through on his genocidal threats—is the most damning indictment of our political system I’ve seen yet.

A first for human eyes to see an eclipse like this from the far side of the moon. Staggering!! #ArtemisII #MoonJoy

Trump has delayed his plan to bomb Iran by two weeks... That gives Congress a solid two weeks to remove him from office.

By the standards of what else could have happened, this obviously counts as good news, but the good news these days consists of the US president backing down from a totally unprovoked genocidal threat he issued in the first place.

*sigh* I guess I’ll take a ChatGPT written statement over nothing

I'm the daughter of an Army paratrooper who refused orders during our illegal invasion of Vietnam back in the day. He went to LBJ military jail. Dad taught his girls this: "Just following orders" is NEVER any excuse for anyone who's complicit in war crimes. You MUST refuse heinous orders.

They're going to murder all those people. Congress will watch and let it happen. Then, Democratic leaders will issue a strongly worded statement.

Reposting this for obvious reasons. I have much more in common with any Iranian than I do with the American and Israeli pieces of shit trying to annihilate them. Any single Iranian life lost is an entire universe gone; more, a tragedy at a level I cannot personally fathom. This is all I can do.

Waiting for any word at all from @vanhollen.senate.gov or @alsobrooks.senate.gov about how they plan to respond to the President's deranged and genocidal threats today. I know I'm not the only Marylander that has called and emailed their offices today demanding some kind of action.

Let me say this plainly: Iranian children have as much of a right to live and thrive as American children. Their babies MUST be as precious to me as my 6 niblings and my baby grandnib are IF I want them to have a future. If I want a future for my kin AND humanity, I MUST act like it. So must you.

I’m so unbelievably pissed, disgusted, and horrified. Nothing about this was or is inevitable. It didn’t need to be like this.

I don’t mean to be dramatic but this motherfucker needs to be gone gone and anyone who worked for him, enabled him, supported him, or voted for him needs to be in prison at best

everything is so scary and strange today; I'm sending everyone as much love as I can

You are a senator.

“A whole civilization will die tonight” is the most vile thing a US president has ever said, certainly during the post-1945 era when they’ve had the power to kill civilizations with the dropping of a bomb. I’m staring into the darkness. May this not be one of the most fateful days in human history.

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

donald trump and benjamin netanyahu are the most evil people alive today. there’s no competition. they need to be stopped immediately

I’m so fucking embarrassed to be from the United States with this insane freak in charge.

"What can Democrats do?" When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him. So, you know, that.

Wait... THAT'S NO MOON.

This is: 1. Deeply moving. 2. The first time I've ever seen a real-life astronaut be anything other than serious or happy in space. Obviously they have been (they're human), but folks on earth have only ever seen this in movies or on TV. Imagine watching your tears of grief float around you.

People who shit on “literary fiction” novels always seem to have next to no idea of what they’re actually like.

Khanna: "No. I'm not supporting new funding. The answer for every Democrat should be 'absolutely no.' It's $400 billion for a war we oppose? We could have universal childcare for that. We could have free public college for that."

plot twist: the Easter Bunny is Filipino and has been saving this up for a century and change

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

I understand the impulse not to let this guy's statements dictate the news cycle but the fact that he can say shit like this and it barely causes a ripple in the media is a key to his ability to maintain power. Constantly pushing the bar of normality downwards, no pressure to take responsibility.

I’ve seen way too many left leaning people parrot blatantly antisemitic conspiracy theories because they appear to be tied to justified critique of the Israeli state. We can be concerned about Israeli war crimes/genocide and geopolitical influence and not do diet evil Jewish cabal bullshit.
