how about cash transfers directly to poor people so they can make real choices about their futures? but then the poor people would just be ... people and without poor people, the service agencies and researchers and police will have nothing to do

If Alan gets a job where we have to move, that is great (f this state) but also terrifying cause of the house situation but also ... sad? We moved in, disaster, dad in hospice immediately, mom moved in w/us or she'd be homeless ... then COVID, the derecho disaster

Wakeup babe, new covid variant just dropped and it's mostly infecting children #MaskUp www.kare11.com/article/news...

Eleanor Roosevelt’s gun permit (which she got it around the time the klan put a $25k bounty on her head). What a vibe

i’ve seen every social network i love die, you cannot scare me

Got some good writing done yesterday and I had to dig into old drafts and holy crap, I keep finding more & more that shows my mind has been working on this same problem (and not knowing it) since forever and ever and ever and it's cool and alarming at the same time.

We have to hurry and re-film the lie detector re-enactment (left side) of this one. We worked with what we had way back when but this will be re-shot in front of the house where my brother died & I will be wearing a suit and tie. thejamesfrancoreview.com/2016/11/17/a...

Alan has another job interview and also had another really good one the other day. Remaining hopeful but I also know collapse is imminent so.

Got a really weird comment about Help Hope Live so a reminder: they are a nonprofit; you do not have to click; we never got FEMA aid or insurance payouts for a major disaster; cared FT for both (abusive) parents who are dead now; cancer mutation; I am a victim in a serial predator case that is

Accessibility I have to ask for isn’t actually accessibility. “Ring the bell and someone will help you!” Or you could make it so I can open your door just like anybody else. “Call ahead for—“ Do you actually want my money? “Submit proof of disability for—“ No, I don’t think I will.

DAMN IT *screams in half a decade of warnings* "Experts warned that the virus could spread more easily than previous variants and even evade immunity in people previously infected or vaccinated against COVID, due to a mutation that allows it to avoid antibodies." 😷✌🏻 www.kare11.com/article/news...

“hey here’s the most racist thing i saw today, isn’t that wild?” well you could’ve kept it to yourself idk

Trillions of dollars have been spent to create an artificial workforce composed of the kind of employees who if they were human would probably be fired within a year or two of being hired. Imagine if that money had been spent getting humanity off fossil fuels instead.

I am taking this opportunity sorting through all the papers (in a hurry cause we are so f*cked) to try and bring some semblance of order with wchi Past Karrie was NOT acquainted.

The fuckin' strait was fuckin' open before he fuckin' started to bomb Iran.

I hate this with every fiber of my being. And having the students be the face/voice of it also is just so appalling when it's being pushed by corporate interests and when they don't even know what it is they're losing by having this foisted upon them.

Sewed Sinead onto my railroad stripe overall dress for fun & so I could wear at the visibility event, but then I could not go. I also sewed one onto my therapy dress I shared before!

My god, the sheer amount of paper after a parent dies. I have no kids, but I will not do this to ... whoever is around. And I am no Day I Do Not Know Anymore of getting rid of paper copies of the book research (I have e-copies).

I am still, all these days later, wondering what that person made with the fabric I donated! I reallllly want to see it. Maybe I should post, like, a "missed connection, but for taffeta."

One way you know unsolicited advice is not about centering or helping the person in need: when the advice is turned down because it already did not or would not (or even cannot) solve the problem, the advice giver requires evidence, proof and/or comforting.

I am working on a piece about the subtle eugenics of being the one who "escapes your family" after a conversation with a niece who subtly (sometimes not so subtly) portrays herself as "better than" her genetics--not consciously. She has this idea she can outrun us w/"clean" (ugh) food, if she

First Easter without mom. She was REALLY into Easter, mainly because she loved hiding the eggs when we were kids and she had a sweet tooth and loved the candy lol. It's weird to not have a ham forced on me today ...

Welp. Combed through all of the taxes mom had filed away, looking for one specific year when I suspect my father was up to something too complicated to detail here and ... that year and ONLY that year was missing. Huh.

Please help the amazing and wonderful @maedayj.bsky.social! #HelpSky #MutualAid #NEISVoid

Spent today going through more of mom's stuff and wowie wowie I found the divorce papers for when dad was off in his missing years with his high school sweetheart. They never actually split. He came back. Also found a letter referencing her 1973 divorce from the spouse I

"The real threat is a slow, comfortable drift toward not understanding what you're doing. Not a dramatic collapse. Not Skynet. Just a generation of researchers who can produce results but can't produce understanding."

Someone from a local makerspace is here to pick up a donation and wowie wowie the upstairs is clearing out PLUS I discovered I had some extra copper etching plates in a size I don't use anymore so they got a bonus+a jug of ferric chloride. Now down to some harder stuff to sort and decide oof.

Years ago, my VERY pregnant sister was past her due date and we told her ... If you try & tell us you're going into labor on April Fool's we are NOT going to believe you. Welp.

lying about it happening on april fool's day: mean-spirited, hurtful, not funny at all it actually happening on april fool's day: possibly the funniest thing of all time

support this incredible read free hero if you're able!

Alan had a great interview today! This job would not get us out of this state, but in some ways would be a better situation. He should hear from the other one soon.

I am going to be haunted by that man in Tehran fleeing bombs on his bicycle with his doggie forever. And by those children in Gaza play-acting a funeral because it is what they know. And to know that both were with our tax dollars and in our name ...

Everytime I think about our government using our tax dollars to create the situation that leads to this, I wonder if hell is big enough for all of us. We are all complicit unless we speak up and fight our government in the Western imperial core. No one is innocent.

CNN reports that the US/Israel bombed an Iranian ORPHANAGE, killing at least two people. edition.cnn.com/2026/03/30/w...

we can either get a Supreme Court decision or a headline like this but both in one day is too much

Cis people who put the Harry Potter movies on the tv for their kids to watch so they can read the New York Times in peace are telling trans people to calm down

In the past week: new Harry Potter shit, Idaho bathroom ban with life in prison for repeat "offenders, IOC bans trans women, the Nea York Times tells affirming doctors they're wrong, SCOTUS allows conversation therapy "Calm down trannies- don't get your tucking underwear in a knot"

it was so nice to have the windows open all night and fresh air and a breeze ... then the storm woke me up and I never got back to sleep oof

Happy trans day of visibility. I would like to once again reiterate I’m happy to write for your newsroom or company in any capacity.

the fact that conversion therapy is torture had been settled socially, scientifically, and politically. but the "trans debate" manufactured by the epstein class and its media empire, in particular the attack on youth transition, has created a new angle to legitimize the practice

Today is trans day of visibility in a state where all my rights have been stripped and visibility includes access to community and events ... please please share! Disabled people can be LGBTQ, too! I am tired of being isolated. So tired of missing Pride events etc. #MutualAid #MutualAidVoid #HelpSky

My LGBTQ community does not share mutual aid for disabled LGBTQ folk and my disabled community rarely shares mutual aid for especially the T part of LGBTQ disabled people …

i'm trying to raise tuition for pharmacy technician training bc i need out of my job where i am harassed daily by a transphobic coworker and a disinterested mgmt team paypal.me/hazanko 🥺

ANTHROPIC IS USING AI TO FUCK UP OUR CLAIMS ABOUT THE USE OF AI???? okay I feel like we should sue again for this

that's 3 European countries putting a blockade on the US/Israel today 👀
