i think trans surgeries for youth are worth fighting for actually. i dont like that cis ppl have determined the overton window on this issue for us

This strange and incorrect use of terms in naming parties is not unique. In America, for example, the slave-owners of yesterday are called Democrats, and in France, enemies of socialism, petty bourgeois, are called Radical Socialists!

2. Non-potable water. Clients have reported becoming ill from chemical-tasting water. Some developed rashes. 3. Deplorable accommodations. A client sick with the flu was forced to sleep on a frigid concrete floor. In Camp East Montana, fetid water leaches through the roof and soaks the beds. /22

And what awaits these clients in Texas? Unspeakably cruel and inhumane treatment. 1. Rotten food. I had a client explain she had to make a half-pint of milk and an apple last every day because the other meals consisted of spoiled or rotten food. One client wasn’t fed for >36 hours. 21/

Hussam Qassem made a drum set from plastic, wood, and metal scraps. Video shows him playing the drums and singing to his forcibly displaced family in their tent in Gaza while children around him sing and dance.

An Israeli court has denied pleas to allow the urgent treatment of a five-year-old Palestinian cancer patient in Israel, on the grounds that his address was listed to be in Gaza. Judge Ram Winograd said the petition to get him medical treatment in Israel was an attack on the state.

his internal what?

I hear progressive and I think of how National Parks were established to take land away from natives. I think of first wave feminism wanderlust . And in the recent decades I think of girl bosses,, lies about communism, and emancipation, the weaponizing of human rights 'concerns'

5/ “I have already spent more than 60 days waking up eating the same repetitive meals…going to the doctor and that the only thing they tell you is to drink more water and the worst thing is that it seems like the water is what makes people sick here…” From 12-year-old Ender, detained 60+ days

i'm baffled by all the people in the replies to posts about the spy doorbells asking for alternatives. like... the alternative is a regualr fucking doorbell with no camera in it. or a door knocker. get you a weird gargoyle guy! you dont need a camera!

in an era when carnivore diet influencers are in charge of the american nuclear arsenal we have to admit the "annoying vegan" stereotype barely ever actually existed and the "all meat diet guy" is real, increasingly omnipresent, and way more annoying and inconvenient to actually be around

Sun shrunk to moon. Cold comes soon.

$350 le guin class on left hand and a wizard of earthsea is so funny and infuriating? Just read Le Guin's essays on them. Is it for people who don't know how to read or buy books? Nearly $60 an hour. Does Grace Byron teach you how to read in them? I don't understand…

why does bluesky require age verification through a provider who had a data breach last year? how is that still the situation?

lol $350 for 6 online classes about Le Guin's work? [Ron Swanson I know more than you image]

So they—for some reason—are just chilling in the open hatch of the Merkava when suddenly.

lol what dipshit would vote for gavin newsome?

skipping right over the fact that Azov and Nazi Ukraine popularized it lol.

I think one reason a lot of people have such fucked sleep schedules is that nighttime is the only time they can justify not being productive

every single woman should buy a gun and i'm not kidding

So we're definitely celebrating FIYAH's cover art for Black History Month! Feast on this absolutely legendary run from @gdbee.bsky.social to set off year one 🥰 Of course you're following Geneva already, and this is your reminder to scoop up a print, her graphic novel, and more: gdbee.carrd.co

He seemed not to know the uses of silence.

there was a campaign in early 2020 called “free them all for public health” that demand hasn’t stopped being necessary and it is only more so now

ATTN: great things are again happening in China, ice level 🇨🇳

every epstein post has replies about Putin being a large part of all this and then only links guardian sources lol. What current Russian states-people are in the emails? Gonna guess none since there are not endless posts about it. People on here are deranged and drive me mad.

trans women are beautiful perfect angels and everything that every braindead sex predator schmuck has said about us is a filthy fucking lie and i'm sick of rolling with the punches

i would like to know when we can have diana back

BAGGER: (spilling my groceries on the floor) Oh God. I'm so sorry. This isn't what I'm supposed to do. ME: How are you supposed to do it? MANAGER: She means she was gonna be a fox. In the woods and shit. But something happened and she got stuck. BAGGER: (crying) Got so stuck.

My imagination makes me human and makes me a fool; it gives me all the world and exiles me from it.

One of my favorite tidbits from this development is that not only did grass start growing in the desert for the first time, but that it grew so tall to the point it started covering the solar panels and becoming a massive issue, and the best solution was to just let sheep eat the grass.

I'm still pissed the kids were left in the cages under Biden.

im sorry but if 4 years of biden didnt save us from this 4 years of harris wouldn't have either. it would be a matter of kicking the can down the road. we had all of that "kids in cages" rhetoric and then as soon as the dems had power no one got rid of ice so

So pleased to see so many sincere efforts from Mamdani. It was what we all desperately needed.

Ralph Lazo was a Latine teen who volunteered to go to a Japanese concentration camp to be in solidarity with his friends. When he turned himself in to authorities, they thought he was Japanese. “Being brown has its advantages,” he would later tell the LA Times. www.history.com/articles/jap...

only idiots saw Chomsky as a left wing icon

@mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social smoke crack with me

the death toll in Gaza was over 680,000 Palestinians, nearly 500,000 of which were Children.

I do think there is a media literacy/critical thinking crisis, but it's been going on for as long as we've had art. I hate the idea that it's new Like, let's not pretend the generations that gave us Thatcher, Blair, and thought history was over were *that* great at critical thinking lmao

My memoir Mean is pub’d by Coffeehouse Press in Minneapolis. Mean is about the experience of growing up Chicana in a small, CA town. It’s also tells the story of Sophia Castro Torres, a MX migrant farm worker, whose ghost became my constant companion. Pls support Minneapolis booksellers.

I love you ICE watchers and protestors and organizers who continue to wear a mask to keep us all safer from covid, other airborne viruses and pollution, and gov surveillance, and who care about disabled and immunocompromised comrades who are your neighbors and part of your community too.

If there's stuff you'd ever want me to do that I haven't, being able to move about more freely would make it easier and if it hasn't been possible, it'd make it more likely. And I don't think it'd take much. This is as good a time to push for it as any.

People who would do it don't do it because nobody else does and they feel pressured and alone, people will harass you for it sometimes or get in your face. And we really just need a public culture of caring about others. I think we can do it, even speaking positively about it helps a lot.

Being stuck like this because people won't mask reliably and are hostile if I do has held so much up for me. If we could at least make masking a thing we wanted to talk about publicly and push for - breast work, dental, electrolysis would be more accessible to me. I'd be able to work again.

'Chinese control' article only refers to audit and ruling about Hong Kong company 'CK Hutchinson' which last year tried to sell its ports to BlackRock lol. Classic stuff!

talking critically to ppl abt stuff we've both read is awesome

stancil: "if im not in this specific organizing chat that means i cant help my community!" yeah they made the right call playing it safe and removing him. Typical entitled new comer attitude, he has all the answers and cannot respect boundaries. Proving their point more and more with every post.
