Maybe like two years ago, when this shit started picking up, I went on a date with a woman who was an architect, and she started talking about how people wanted AI to replace most of her industry, and we both just got so depressed we stopped making conversation and never went out again

I'm sorry but everybody who spent the 2010s yelling about "purity culture" ended up working for either Bari Weiss or Donald Trump And Doctorow knows that So why he'd go there to defend a grammar checker of all things is beyond me

our ancestors who fought and organized wasn't no joke and we have lost touch with A LOT. getting comfortable with having access to things really FUCKED too many of us up. {if you not black dni with this post unless you're asking me to block you.}

You know what? Folks really do be mad when they see others being blessed. They’ll see someone being given whatever and instead of being happy for that person they sit there seething. That negative energy being sent your way is a problem. Protect yourself spiritually.

Imagine being too imperialist/neocolonial/openly rapacious for the Catholic Church

infinitely more dangerous than mercury in vaccines, I present to you: everything is made of lead! ahhhhh! bath tubs old mugs kids toys makeup so much lead! I'm considering getting one of the testing kits he uses and just plowing through my house

Mercury is a potent neurotoxin that contaminates people when air pollution settles on rivers and streams and gets into the fish we eat. Current Health Secretary RFK jr once had mercury poisoning from eating too much tuna, but has been silent these rollbacks www.eenews.net/articles/rfk...

I know this will probably have asshats in my mentions again, but periodic reminder that everything happening now has a precedent. And that precedent is closer than slavery, internment, boarding schools, Jim Crow...it is the very modern school to prison pipeline. It is the last 40 years of policy.

The absolute refusal to connect American history to American current events is one of the weirdest expressions of modern racism.

I’m just a Minneapolitan, standing in front of a country, asking them to stop platforming our mayor for swearing on tv about ICE and then doing nothing substantive while antagonizing city council members that are

Mayor Frey refused to support a unanimous call from the city council to ask Gov. Walz for an eviction moratorium to support our most vulnerable neighbors and now everyone's having to crowdfund rent.

Okay, friends and internet neighbors, I have a surgery date of 12/31. That’s right, I’m going into 2026 with no belly button. I want to clear another $750 of this GFM so I can rest in January. Can you help me do that?

White american history is so...brutal Like this is what history needs to be so children can develop pattern recognition because this behavior is prevalent today in white men

Here I thought they were cowards and it turns out they were sell-outs all along.

"Notable names include House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Sen. Martin Heinrich." HOW INTERESTING.

And they don't even hide it. They're still taking money from Elon. readsludge.com/2025/03/20/d...

A top official in my union was talking about mayoral elections recently, and pointed out very correctly that we need to keep in mind that at best mayors are "benevolent" dictators, not comrades. There will be no elected official who will magically save the people from having to organize.

Niemöller was asked by his concentration camp cellmate why he had ever supported Hitler and the Nazis. Reportedly, this is what he had to say for himself:

“There will be no elected official who will magically save the people from having to organize.” - @eethatsme.blacksky.app

This is how all politicians should be treated but some how people got the idea politicians should be someone you'd want to hang out with

The part no one is saying is that a lot of people are very comfortable with the idea of sacrificing Black women to protect themselves. People got so mad when we did #NotYourMammy after #solidarityisforwhitewomen, but society does not see Black women as people, so much as shields and tools.

Politicians gonna politician.

You’d think a socialist would understand that homelessness is a societal failing, not a personal one

Waiting to see how long it takes institutions reinstate the diversity, equity, and inclusion programs they shut down, re-hire those they pushed out, and rewrite all the language they rushed to change. Something tells me it'll likely be a long wait.

Oh, my goodness, this is a huge breakthrough in cancer research. This is another example of why it is crucially important to fund basic scientific research. Scientists Discover How To “Switch Off” Cancer Genes for Good share.google/WFhMJP5m3AK4...

More than 50 activists gathered Tuesday (17 February) in Washington, D.C. to protest proposed federal rules that would restrict access to gender-affirming care for transgender minors.

The purpose of a system is what it does. A 90% error rate isn't due to bad coding.

I think a thing a lot of people don’t understand is that propaganda does not convince anyone of anything through argumentation. It’s about frequency, not force. You get exposed to it enough and it changes how you think.

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

When u know how vital biodiversity is to the natural environment it's wildly arrogant and disconnected to act like humans are divorced from that.

Much needed reminder for some.

Syncopation is basically the African approach to rhythm It’s the language of the talking drums It’s why it was banned during enslavement It’s why Henry Ford tried to promote square dancing to eliminate jazz That’s also why it comes so naturally to you 🖤🖤🖤

the "left" broadly advocated for open access community owned gigabit fiber networks while the right coddled monopoly access to the detriment of progress and affordability for four decades

"There are so many moving parts to the terror the government is imposing. It’s hard to keep up! But it’s critical that we keep track of this underlying bureaucracy of harm, some of which predates Trump, and much of which will outlive him, if we don’t shut it all down."

This obscene discrepancy

And now the baby and his whole family have been deported. bsky.app/profile/joaq...

This is insane. The stories coming out of these camps is gonna be the worst shit you've ever heard.

Yall talk about Black leftists as if none of them have their own thoughts. As if they all get their talking points from white leftists. It’s fucking weird.

There have been many dozens of this kind of strange comment in response to my posts on twitter and bluesky. It's frightening to see so many partisan Democrats with so little understanding of what their leaders do in DC. Many ordinary people have no idea the extent to which they are being sold out.

"date within your tax bracket" and "dating should be the last thing on your mind if you're broke" are regular refrains on here

Baby listen... getting older is mandatory, but becoming wiser is optional.

In hindsight bro was 100% right Email was the start of the slippery slope to the "always available" workforce, which turned into 24/7 hustle culture, which has now become manic obsession with AI squeezing every ounce of productivity from a workforce increasingly seen as disposable pawns

The thing about disability, when you express how it makes you suffer, people want to offer solutions to fix it. But they can't fix it because this is your chronic state.

Chronic pain is disability. So to everybody out there in pain all the time, you're disabled. I know we keep our chronic pain to ourselves because no one wants to hear about it & do our best to manage. But if it affects your day to day functionality, you're a disabled person.
