low stakes posting today reminds me that 1) Facebook is for talking to people you know IRL but don’t like and 2) microblogging sites are for talking to people you don’t know but do like. we forget these things at our peril

ain't no fuckin way

Look at the pain and cruelty of the cold and freezing temperatures. What has it done to my children? Their hearts ache. They are pleading with you, crying out for shelter and blankets. They only need $100. Don't let them down. We froze🥶🥶 Verified @mommunism.bsky.social chuffed.org/project/1574...

We knock on doors one by one, donations are scarce and the road is exhausting, yet behind this appeal are children suffering in silence. Be the hope when hope grows scarce, and give in charity… for every contribution makes a real difference. chuffed.org/project/1512...

I think about Link every time I open this damn app

A war on empathy is vital to racial authoritarianism & a reactionary tactic against racial justice. In South Africa resentful whites tried to delegitimize the Truth & Reconciliation Commission (& its traumatic testimony) by calling it the "kleenex commission." oar.princeton.edu/bitstream/88...

Yes, really. That’s what it says.

I’m thinking of people spending their holiday in a mental hospital. And peace to all my mad people, how y’all feeling?

It's amazing how many services I would sign up for if they would only promise— in writing and under threat of litigation— to never become the services which I left for them.

Last time I met with my therapist she mentioned she needed to check in with me on the holidays, not even because of my personal relationship to it alone, but because she said it's very common for people to be going through it at the holidays. It's something mental health professionals look out for.

This is another of twittter's developments that's dubious as legal. A deepfake porn machine? Copyright over original images? Elon wouldn't get away with things like this he does to the platform if he were regulated.

Wow that’s cool. She had a passion for darts. Through grit & determination & focus she broke new ground in darts. I’d never think of this goal. But that’s perseverance so congrats to her.

More backlist books please. I’m excited more people are talking about Toni Morrison, the editor. Through these conversations they are also learning about the great works of Toni Cade Bambara and Gayl Jones. #BlackBookSky #BookSky

I feel the energy even sitting in my house. I went outside yesterday and I saw that people just weren’t ok. A lot of sad faces, people in a frenzy. I’m like ok I’m not alone.

Thats right We love everyone We love everyone, especially those who stand with us, even if they don't. Our hearts are with everyone, and that's freedom.

Cheers to all of you who’re estranged from family. I hope you have a warm, contented, and good end to your year without those fuckers in your life. You’re free.

This Islamophobic bull they pull for why Palestinians shouldn’t be supported! That they hate gay people. Islam & Christianity are homophobic pretty exactly the same. Muslims are still queer & accept queer people if anyone knows them. Starving Gazans on here are besties with queer & trans people.

I’m in a bad mood for complex intersecting reasons. One I think is it being Christmas. If you are in a bad mood, remember, it’s Christmas, which is a highly hazardous time for tons of people’s moods. That’s unacknowledged by the compulsory cheer.

Today I helped someone at the library who didn't know you could borrow items for free. She gave me her library card and $40 to pay for the books. Was delighted when I said everything is free to use. I'd never encountered that before. I assumed people just knew library items were free and public.

I cannot! White people are at once these poor little precious tender babies & the superior race? Is it oochie wally or one mic?

Ha, yes let’s have sympathy for the people that voted for a racist pedophile twice because reality might hurt their feelings. LOL, fuck outta here

No I refuse to coddle white people. Stop asking that of us on top of us already having to bear the brunt of the worst in society. If they don’t want it straight up, they can go over there & be alienated & stay racist. I spit on the idea of holding somebody’s hand not to harm me.

Some people like porn. If you like porn, there are many ethical ways to consume porn all around you. You can monetarily support the sex workers you enjoy. If you enjoy them you should compensate them.

You know you're down bad when a headache makes you wanna quit & throw in the towel because it's all too much.

Yummy! I'd love to take that class.

Listennnnnnn…

Literally the only thing that keeps me going is knowing that I have never had a single clue how I keep going & I still keep going because that’s not required at all.

Oh my god.

Even with broad public support, no major museum has taken up the genocide in Gaza. No large institution I know of has put on an exhibition about Palestinian artists or Palestinian lives. www.equator.org/articles/how...

Will white leftists ever get free? Them again? Always acting up.

My online friends in Gaza give me strength. They comfort me, they encourage me, they give of their compassion to me, & they really don’t have to, they are very valuable in my life, I want them to survive because they’re people I care about. The gift of them is precious.

White folks have been anesthitized for generations with racial apartheid, 'free' land, all-white juries, you name it. "Capitalism requires inequality. Racism enshrines it." -RW Gilmore Trump keenly exploited anxiety and grievances over feared loss of generations of white privilege gains. 2/

Few white people are up for it. Maybe because they don't understand what's in it for them, what do they have to gain. That's because they don't even know what they've lost: their indigeneity, their worth beyond productivity for capital, connection to ancestors. 5/
