This is a great piece and it's by a journalism school classmate so have to share. missionlocal.org/2025/11/sf-w...

There are a couple of well-followed accounts on here who say super important and interesting things, but when referring to wrongheaded people or ideas they use the clown emoji. I wish they wouldn’t. Its primary function on social media has evolved to be a quick means of bullying and punching down.

Amazing incorrect lyrics on the karaoke machine yesterday

What a unique question no one's thought of asking him yet

"The Barnes and Noble in York—where Fetterman was born and raised—had sold zero copies. The Barnes and Noble in Philadelphia had sold two copies. An independent store in Pittsburgh and an independent store in Philadelphia each told me they weren’t stocking Unfettered" defector.com/john-fetterm...

I know we know, but I still have a hard time coming to terms with the fact the United States no longer has a unified, reliable source of scientific and medical information. We all live in their “do your own research” hell now.

Gutted. We have lost a brilliant voice in the world. Rest in peace Alice Wong @sfdirewolf.bsky.social you were so inspiring to so many of us. Thank you for sharing all your words and for always shining a light on the disability community.

Hey! @lflegal.bsky.social, @rejinae.bsky.social, and @chanceyfleet.bsky.social gathered 36 authors to write about ethics in digital accessibility. Chapters, authors (I’m one of them), pre-order: www.routledge.com/Digital-Acce... Out 26 March 2026. #DigitalAccessibilityEthics #accessibility #a11y

what terrifies these people most is that Mamdani started off in single digits and now he's got Staten Island magas liking his policy proposals. there's no role for the consultant class in an ecosystem where people run on principles

It's ADHD Awareness Month! Do you know where your phone is?

The #ADHD compulsion to text the person you love ALL THE FEELINGS RIGHT NOW, completely losing sight of the potential impact of your words and timing on them—especially when actually, it probably definitely could have waited for a gentler time and context. And now you both feel terrible, hooray 😑🤐

This is amazing

It really can't be said enough: the goal of the "anti-woke" movement was always to destroy social norms against bigotry. And it worked. And there's a whole lot of purportedly "left" thinkers & commentators who helped it -- indeed, it couldn't have been done without them. They should feel bad.

My partner is visiting family and texted that their Trump-loving aunt & uncle say hi and are asking what I’m up to. I replied, “Tell them today I spent a bunch of time talking to ChatGPT about how to overtly challenge anti-Black linguistic racism” and my partner thought I was joking for some reason

Travis Kelce Asks If Wedding Can Be Shark Themed

I think the real problem here is Silverism, which is just another word for Hasbeenism and WhyArentIInvitedism.

FDA claims new labeling requirements for prescription opioids will address the “opioid epidemic.” Such claims this will meaningfully address our overdose crisis are denial of over a decade of facts while this administration keeps failing to support initiatives more likely to make a real difference:

The new digital overhaul of government websites will, of course, destroy accessibility, so that scores of #disabled Americans won’t be able to access government services. If you think this is unintentional, well—sale, bridge, etc. #a11y

I’m liminal AF

Democrats should avoid using the following terms! These terms make you seem OUT OF MAINSTREAM AND CRAZY!!! - Cheugy - PAWG - Crumbelievable - Yogurt - Switzerland - Pangea - Womyn - Wymon - Wemen - Woman - Women - Boat - Daniel - Sexual Panda - Dagnabit - Consarnit - Hornswoggled

it's crazy that being like "how do i explain gay couples to my kids?" isn't an unthinkably embarrassing to say in 2025. it's actually incredibly easy to explain, that should be like indignantly saying "how am I supposed to explain to my kids where the sun goes at night? did a bird steal it?!"

"The next time you read something and think, 'AI wrote this—it has a lot of em dashes,' ask yourself: Is it AI? Or is it just a poet trying to give you vertigo in four lines or fewer?"

If you're quiet about your disabilities, you get accused of being a fake. If you're outspoken, you get accused of being attention seeking. Disabled people deserve to be believed and supported without hate. We deserve to be able to thrive.

Fuck you

Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it. (Published April w/ @sltrib.com)

Eric Adams is amazing because when he won every media person was leaping over each to go “this is the normal sane leadership that the political left doesn’t understand normal sane Americans crave” and then every day since that Eric Adams has been like “Leprechauns are real and I’m going to cook one”

I’m confident this won’t be used for anything nefarious

Hoo boy fellow lefties, sure it sucks to have people accusing you of having racist motivations when you don’t, but I hope the amount of energy you put into being butthurt about it is significantly eclipsed by the amount you put into doing actual anti-racism

it’s so incredibly air headed after the election we just had to be like “we have to nominate a moderate who sacrifices key left demographics and priorities to be competitive in 2028”

Uh oh. The FDA may pull the Pfizer covid vax for kids 6 mo. - 4 yrs. "The move would pull the only remaining Covid vaccine for all children under five from the market." Note that Moderna & Novavax are only for kids w/ health conditions, & Nova is only for 12/+. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Kamala told us this was going to happen and we didn’t listen!” *Trump* told us this was going to happen and the GOP literally laid it out in writing. Kamala was not possessed with some special wisdom. Maybe she should’ve had the wisdom not to take advice from David Plouffe and her brother-in-law

“Civility” is the belief system summed up by that old line that the rich and poor are both equally banned from stealing bread and sleeping under bridges.

"We should presume good faith, but the presumption should fall quickly as contrary evidence mounts, and it should be hard to earn back."

alert me when someone at Mediate writes the article: "Is Crime Everywhere or Do People Act Like That Around Me Because They Think I'm Maggie Haberman?"

Of course this happens to a Woman of Color. Anti-trans sentiment has always been driven by white supremacy’s need to narrow the boundaries of white womanhood. And Black and Brown women will always be the first targets of gender policing.

What will happen soon in response to these incidents (if it hasn’t already) is that MAGA officials will start repeatedly calling for women to wear feminine clothing and long hair in order to “avoid confusion” in public. And we know where it’ll go from there.

Statehood for D.C.—absolutely. But y’all know this is just a dry run for incursions into blue cities in states all over the country, right? Statehood won’t protect anyone.

HUH TURNS OUT THEY'RE REAL PEOPLE AND THEY NEED REAL DONATIONS WHO COULD HAVE FORESEEN THIS

God I’m having 2020 primary flashbacks. Pete Buttigieg is currently not a candidate for anything or a nominee for anything, and people are already pulling the Vote Blue No Matter Who card. How about this time we pick a *good* candidate, not an act of compromised desperation.

There are Democrats in this thread freely calling the victims of this flood—the ones who’ve lost their children and are finding body parts in their yards—“peasants” and “rubes.” I feel sick that I ever called myself a liberal.

You're conflating so many different things: 1) Acceptance of alternative medicine 2) Rejection of established US medicine for oneself 3) Rejection of established US medicine for others (including being antivax) 4) Intentional destruction of the US federal government and science research

If it’s fucking raining and everyone says it’s fucking raining and the meteorologists say it’s fucking raining and you’re out there in the rain getting fucking wet and someone tells you it’s not raining, that doesn’t make them a “wet weather skeptic” it makes them a fucking idiot
