Significantly helps people with heart disease *and* makes people 16% less likely to develop dementia? There should be lines at the pharmacy for this miracle drug.

Washington just passed a “millionaire tax,” after Massachusetts passed its own in 2022. New Mexico enacted universal childcare last year. And organizers in Montana and California are advancing a ballot measure that would get corporate money out of politics. We still have power to fix the system.

"The czar's heart is good, but he was deceived by scheming Jews" is really not the kind of antiwar statement people need to get behind.

If he's going to get a national profile on the strength of a younger woman's campaign, I'm going to come out and say it: during his short-lived tenure as a math professor, Biss had an inappropriate romantic relationship with one of his undergraduate students. I was that student.

I love it when people talk to me as if I neither am disabled nor actually study this in my own work. But let me pitch someone else's work here, Doron Dorfman's "Fear of the Disability Con." Sharing it for everyone feeding the fear of the disability con right now: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

It’s Long Covid Awareness Day (which I think should be the Ides of March, for reasons that will become clear.) Some of you have heard this before. But I wanted to share my Long Covid story, because I think you should hear it. On my birthday in November 2022, I woke up with Covid.

It’s time for single-payer in California. Our health care system puts profits before patients, padding the pockets of Big Insurers, Big Pharma, and all the middlemen.  CalCare ends the games. I’ve long pushed for Medicare For All nationally, and it’s time for the same in California.

Members, the Coop is calling on you to participate in our upcoming zap sessions to take collective action regarding censorship & pay discrimination for 18+, erotic, and NSFW artists. Look out on Discord for more info about when and how to join, coming soon. Art by @itsnero.com

Kinda weird that the US elite is full of child molesters flying to pedophile island but if a poor artist ages Sailor Moon up to 18 to sell porn to anime fans she gets obliterated from the internet

Hard to not go fucking insane in a world where they behave like fiction can hurt you while literally bombing schools. Hope all of these fascist fucks take a very long walk off of a very short pier.

Folks... mute who you've got to. Block who you've got to. It's seriously not a big deal. Like lol I genuinely promise you it does not matter and you don't owe anyone an explanation, this isn't your job.

I remember learning about the Hays Code in film school and how it made it so that any amoral protagonist had to meet karmic justice by the end of the film and going “wow, that’s really silly” and then once a week I log online and see people argue that we need stuff like that now or it’s problematic

The angry part of Bluesky remembered KOSA (now under the Kids Internet and Digital Safety Act, or H.R. 7757) exists but rather yell at you I'll say: If you have REALLY bad anxiety (like me!), you can call your reps after hours! Voicemail counts! The site 5Calls give you a script to read off of:

Lina is struggling to care for her family, including her severely injured husband Mahmoud who's at risk of amputation, her mother-in-law with bone cancer, & her sick daughters, under Israel's genocide, which has left them homeless & starving as Gaza is completely cut off again:

lol they're really doing the meme

if you would be willing to give $1/mo to a disabled hacker, I would be incredibly grateful I scrape by on ~$20/mo and couch surf and fridge raid to get by I know times are tough and I don’t expect anyone to pay my rent, but a tiny bit more financial support would be a bit less suffocating

Anyways.

Adding to this no one is mad at you for having disgust towards whatever you have disgust towards. There’s *so* much out there I don’t understand or grosses me out in fiction and art. The difference is I know it’s not for me and don’t advocate for isolating/killing people for what they’re into.

You better wake the fuck up now. If we don't make their lives ABSOLUTELY FUCKING MISERABLE, we're going be the ones who get shafted. And HARD. You best believe that everything about the Internet we know is going to die and everything we know and love with it. I've made my calls today. You need to.

New files released detail a woman met with the FBI at least four times to allege she had survived being sexually abused by Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump when she was a child. Nothing happened.

Once again begging people to stop using the term CSAM to refer to content that does not include images of real children or their likenesses. The whole reason we have that term is to identify content that features actual children so the appropriate steps can be taken.

what the FUCK?? holy shit! this is so extensive!!! the absolute amount of features already is crazy!!

The story of slavery we tell in the United States is Black and White. But Europeans also enslaved Indigenous people of the Americas. And our enslavement, spanning over four centuries, helped build the institution of slavery itself. www.newyorker.com/books/page-t...

i really reject the idea that your every hobby has to be good or profitable. i think it’s the opposite really. the more useless and pointless a hobby is, the more i escape from the claws of capitalism to be human even if for just a moment.

I can’t with this lady. There’s a part in here where she suggests reclassifying “late”-dx kids (a heavily female group) separately as “hypersensitive” instead of autistic. This would be treated as an issue of anxiety & “resilience.” 1/3
