I make about $50k a year, which isn’t a whole lot but thankfully more than I need. Instead of using my disposable income for fun things, I’ll pouring some into mutual aid and local charities because five fucking congressmen took a buy out from billionaires.

Can I tattoo this on my forehead

The vibe really is “if we don’t put on the best damn musical this town has ever seen, they’ll close down the old rec center for good!” But the “rec center” is the country 😨😨😨

I legit do not want pasting to get smarter. I want it, and all my technology, to behave predictably in ways I can configure. I prefer to be the smart one in our partnership.

I think if you grabbed any famous thinker from centuries ago and showed them Wikipedia and told them it was free for anyone to access, they would say it is humanity's crowning achievement and would be indifferent to the moon landings, modern medicine, flight, or anything else you showed them

Just saw a NYPost headline complaining scornfully that Gen Z adults are taking classes in basic life skills and I mean--of course they are? You didn't prepare them for anything because no child left behind gutted their schooling and eradicated classes like home ec in favor of standardized testing?

Mahmoud Khalil’s continued detention in Louisiana has posed significant problems for his defense in his habeas corpus case, his lawyers say in a new filing. The nearest large cities are more than 4 hours away, and visits occur “in a cramped, closet-sized space with only a single chair for counsel.”

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

Vatican to announce its choice of a new Pope in a Signal group chat.

It is really bothering me (understatement) that the message is “bring back that one innocent guy” and not “WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK SHUT DOWN THIS WHOLE OPERATION IMMEDIATELY.”

KEEP FIGHTING!!!

After massive public backlash, the Social Security Administration is rolling back its disastrous cuts to phone services. This is a huge victory for the public against DOGE's rampage. Keep up the fight.

How many IRS commissioners have to resign before I don’t have to send in my payment?

I have the flu and I’m so sad I can’t go. Thank you to everyone participating for protecting our democracy 💙💙

It’s a heist movie but just with a bunch of humanities scholars trying to get their grant money back.

Been thinking about this Zappa quote a lot lately.

The Senate votes to terminate the so-called national emergency. This is something.

Rest and joy can be resistance. Sports, knitting, reading, watching trash, talking to a friend about some lovely in their life. Especially if you're a person under constant threat. You need rest and joy, these psychos in power are actively trying to strip you of both.

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

👏 executive 👏 orders 👏 are 👏 not 👏 laws 👏

Um, the security protocols I had to follow on Rings of Power were stricter than this government war plans signal thread?!

please don’t text me war plans, because I’m actually at capacity right now and I don’t think I can hold appropriate space for you. do you have someone else you could reach out to?

I will fight facism will every ounce of love I have for this country

I am working out of a public library and there are a good number of people who seem to be on hard times using the facilities for various reasons like job searching, entertainment, charging peripherals, using the bathroom, etc., and I am struck by how important it is that libraries continue to exist

REPOST GOOD NEWS. CONTINUE TO FIGHT TO GOOD FIGHT. THEY THRIVE OF DEFEATISM

Dictator shit

I unironically use my local library a lot. Ebooks, audio books, physical books, the seed exchange, the meeting spaces?? Passport services?? Citizenship and English classes? I grew up in the teen hangout area as a housing insecure youth with a bad parent. Libraries are important, I'm pissed
