i’ve been thinking of what could even be said about such a tragedy. someone said it best that trans people are “born so late and die so young”. we uproot our lives and transition and live more life than anyone else ever does and society punishes us for it. we deserve better

The autistic urge to listen to a new song I like 547389 times in a row

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

I don't only want fully funded libraries but I want fully funded parks, public education, FREE HEALTHCARE, actual affordable housing etc... these are ALL CONNECTED.

funniest thing i’ve ever seen

You should have art. You deserve beautiful things. A lot of my alarm over the last 24 stems from concern that people sound like we can't have art in bad times. Bad times are when we need art.

Last night was fun as hell and hoo boy we have so much more planned for the official takeover. Glad everyone liked the Emergency Broadcast and welcome new infowarriors.

Elon Musk was paid $158 billion by Tesla last year. That is double the entire budget of the U.S. Department of Education.

Whoa whoa whoa, guys, settle down

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

David Duchovny played a transgender woman, Denise, on Twin Peaks in 1990 and when greeting Cooper, the show's protagonist, she says, "I prefer Denise, if you don't mind" and Cooper responds with "OK" and her identity is settled within a couple seconds and was a non-issue, 36 years ago.

One day, "It" will happen, by which I mean sudden and unexpected news that you want to celebrate. In such cases, you will want the right outfit. 🧵

Just scrolled past a post that said, "Please stop anthropomorphizing other people!" and I'm starting to think that dictionaries should be distributed free the way phone books used to be. Words have meaning, y'all. That's kind of how language works.

Just write anything. It literally doesn't have to make sense even to you. If you're any good at this, you will be the last person to ever know

Lots of tech dudes think the "idea" is the important part of creating, not the creative journey you take through work to give that idea actual meaning. Ideas are the easiest, cheapest and least fulfilling part of it. Giving ideas life through work, and sharing that work with others, is the stuff.

Ok, now this shit was powerful. Filmed at the Nashville No Kings Rally.

Every single loser criticizing No Kings looks like this to me

“If tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty.” -Thomas Jefferson #NoKings

Seven-word death punch

Saw a headline today too that electric car searches have skyrocketed.

I’ve started investing in stocks: beef, chicken, and vegetable. Someday, I hope I’ll be a bouillonaire.

Donald Trump is the reason you are waiting for 6 hours on line at the airport. I hope that helps.

hate to be a debbie downer but as a veteran of living through economic collapse sparked by republican policy, not looking forward to the next decade or so

cannot believe asking rich ceos to be literate is such a huge reach now

As most librarians know, the ability to read and write is tied to nearly every activity in modern society action.everylibrary.org/libraries_fi...

I was going to attend the budget rally but now that it's canceled, I'll still be testifying at the budget hearing via Zoom as I had signed up to do.

Elon Musk is acting like “talking about your feelings” is weak and unnecessary while he simultaneously uses his account with 230 million followers on the platform he owns to post about his feelings like a 14 year old emo kid on MySpace in 2009

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

It's just incredible that Trump is arresting reporters and having his FCC chair threaten to pull broadcast licenses of networks that do not report positively about Trump, and the WH Correspondents Association is going to throw a big celebration with him. It's absurdist satire too silly for a movie.

For people outside of NYC who want to support public libraries, @nycplan.org is organizing a library art and propaganda fair on June 13 and we have a call for art submissions with a deadline of 3/31. docs.google.com/document/d/1... - please help spread the word.

Sad to see the Ides of March becoming commercialised like this. I really feel like we're losing track of the true spirit of the holiday. It's not about how many knives you can stick in a tyrant all at once, it's about the whole community coming together to stab the tyrant as many times as possible.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

McGowan: You're saying 46 Americans died, so we should attack this country. Here at home, 68,000 Americans die a year because they don't have health insurance. So, if we're going to spend billions of dollars on something…

hegseth is literally the colin jost version of himself

i feel like if i was tasked with not starting a war and bringing back US manufacturing jobs, i could have done a better job than this

After watching this shit show in Iran can we now agree that maybe having academics isn’t a bad thing?

The thing that I don't think they've fully grasped is because we've had two nearly three generations of adults who have been vaccinated, people are going to realize pretty quickly shit is bad when suddenly their kids are dying.

You can let the Mayor know what you think about him breaking his promise. www.nyc.gov/mayors-offic...

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

TFW the nostalgia of another is so vivid, I could mistake it for my own.

Every time a woman runs for president I hear that she’s too emotional and unstable to make wartime decisions, unlike the men in charge who make really reasonable decisions like bombing kids to death, starting water wars, and poisoning the entire planet
