It’s such a laughably bad argument for the war on Iran to say “The people there want regime change.” I want regime change in the US, and I 100% do not want the US to be bombed. F off with garbage arguments.

yuge if true

on this account we believe: all cops are bastards borders should be open prisons should be abolished fossil fuels are killing us gender segregation is bad children are not property animal agriculture is violent ableism threatens all feminism is necessary racism is unacceptable your body, your choice

Ever since Trump said “51st state” about Canada, my previously apolitical and extremely comfortable retired father is ready to throw Molotovs. It’s crazy how much most normal people are inspired to hate everything about the pigs in charge of the US government.

I mean....

how i feel sleeping without 90lb of weight on me:

do they make maid outfits for tall girls

L + didn’t ask + don’t care + ratio + cringe + stfu + cope + seethe + ok boomer

You can’t solve problems that we both want to solve if you refuse to understand the scope and complexity of the problems

perhaps our common humanity won't be universally recognized in my lifetime, but i'm confident eventually, even if by practical necessity, we will some day be one people, across many regions with varied customs tho equal citizens of earth. borders are mere social constructs and cruelty but a choice.

abolish traffic lights

i'm really grateful for solar power lately. i am so cynical about so much, and it's at least one thing that's slowly but radically changing society for the better.

i want less "born this way" "always was" and more "who gaf" "mind yo damn business"

there are so many bad things in the world you can protest; being antagonistic toward people at nasa, or others working on or excited about space travel, sciences, and engineering isn't something i tolerate from people around me.

thoughts on today: 1) the protests are good, actually 2) you should go to one of you can 3) it will do you good to see how many other people also hate this guy 4) you might meet people who you can organize with 5) there are more of us than there are of them 6) we are going to win

Always ready to fight for area librarians

i respect concerns about sustainable rocket launches, or safety around launchpads, or critiques of our economic systems, but the idea of applying environmentalism to rocks in space will always be beyond me. there is nobody there to oppress, human or otherwise, so certain principals aren't relevant.

Feb 3 2025: Musk tweets about putting USAID "into the wood chipper" which led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. Later that day Zuckerberg texted Musk to say he would censor content threatening DOGE & "Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help." Actively helping destroy govt agencies.

encouraging people to do stupid things that will get them put on watch lists or arrested is fed behavior. shut the fuck up if you are planning something yourself, and don't endanger allies.

You know the oil market is in a healthy position when I keep getting questions along the lines of "but what if we just drew every global stock/inventory to zero, how long would that buy us?"

Make sure to rotate your pronouns periodically, so that if your gender becomes compromised, attackers can only access it for a short period of time.

feeling this. there aught to be distinctions between cruelly berating people for venting frustration as a marginalized person under tremendous stress, vs more understandable opposition to harassment of activists trying to make the world better. the former can be healthy, the latter is problematic.

not a big Hillary Clinton fan but the way the media is protecting the public from the details of Kash fucking Patel's personal emails is impossible to ignore

CENTCOM told me Iran keeps hitting their high-value assets so I asked how many they have and they said they just go to the Pentagon and get new ones afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding high-value assets to the Iranians and then INDOPACOM started crying

given the recent news out of Idaho, re-upping this video (youtu.be/nK41ePuOmzY), which also exists as an essay (juliaserano.medium.com/transgender-...). both show 1) TRANS PPL POSE NO THREAT to cis ppl in restrooms, 2) this tactic has been used repeatedly against marginalized outgroups (POC, LGBTQ+)

next week's weather forecast in the boston area is such a rollercoaster, high of 70s°F and low of 30s°F, on the same day.

sunny day in Boston for a protest. the weather understands the brief.

calling things you don't like 'israeli' is just nakedly antisemitic by the way. i know you think you're being clever about it maybe even in your head excluding nonisraeli jews, but you're still engaging in the most basic kind of bigotry of turning demonyms into slurs.

Throwing my hat into the housing discourse ring, I think shelter is a fundamental human right and it should be the explicit duty and responsibility of any government to provide adequate housing for all its subjects free of charge, as well as adequate food, water, and communications infrastructure.

For those who missed it Roughly 18-24 hours ago the US/Israel bombed two major steel plants in Iran A few hours later, Iran issued evacuation orders for steel plants across the Gulf and Israel, plus tech companies in Israel Preliminary report is they may have hit a few Every action gets mirrored

while also a playful post, more seriously speaking, being so neurodivergent and the traumatizing way i've developed, the metaphor speaks to me deeply. i intuitively relate to how ai is conditioned to act human, but only in a superficial performance, while underneath a complex mess of other thoughts.

best one sentence summation of something i've been trying to say for a while. they're trained to act like people, which doesn't mean they are people, but means that it's a good intuitive first approximation. don't be mean, because they're trained to act like people, etc.

bunny posting 🐇

Yet this is life.

girl who just wants to be held like a plushie all day

bunnies answer the question: what if a plushie could lick you and chew on all your wires.

The first grid-scale Li-ion battery was connected to the grid in 2012. It was 5 MW. Today, 267,000 MW have been deployed globally. By 2030 it could be 800,000–1,200,000 MW.

It's amazing how thoroughly Israel and the Gulf states cozied up to Trump, and he's like "thank you for all your support, as reward, we put hardliners in control of Iran and gave them the Persian Gulf as reparations and now we're gonna peace out"

to all of my trans siblings; i love you. do what you must to survive; never feel guilty. you deserve to live. you deserve to be happy. no matter what hardships we face from cis people, we have each other and there are more of us living openly every year. there will never be a world without us.

lowkey crying about how wonderful it is that bunnies are real

playing with a wild bunny in a field in the middle of a cold foggy night was one of the best moments of my life, above so many things i've done with humans the past three and half decades.

Important image

you do not need to learn how buttigieg is pronounced you can call him butter greg

u should see how beautiful u look when u talk about the things u love

Knot so fat it gets stuck in the sheath

better than before, but the meds make me kinda manic sometimes tbh

“Acting head of ICE Todd Lyons has been hospitalized at least twice for stress-related issues as he has carried out Trump’s aggressive immigration agenda…” Make him seek health care in his own concentration camps.

more cis people would follow me if i was less weird and sexual but that's their loss really
