So look folks, if you sit down and do the reading, or I dunno look at all the bad shit that still happens to Black people and never stopped happening to Black people, then you know that segregationists as a group never went away and we are STILL dealing with that group

Trump is asking us to start choosing groups we're willing to abandon, and the only way to make him stop is to be clear we're not fucking abandoning ANYONE. Call your reps. Call your fucking reps. Especially in red states. Use the @5calls.org app, it's easy and free.

New property management company has been a little mixed on communication so far but they did an official walkthru of the apartment and next day scheduled a legit plumber to fix the tub leak that the last people basically brushed off for years. So. That seems to be an improvement, at least.

reposting with alt text because I think the choice to include homophobia and transphobia in particular here is actually very much worth drawing attention to. nuns emphatically stating that those “do not reflect the qualities of a saint” is a very clear callout of Cardinal Dolan

Still can't get over a certain NWSL expansion team choosing to launch their inaugural year with the most expensive supporters section tickets in the league while also releasing no info in writing and not having any benefits info ready to share other than free parking.

Monstrous

Ever since I learned that some places have rules about what hours you can take your trash out it’s all I can think about when I hear my neighbors taking their trash out late or super early.

Autistic and neurodivergent people deserve far better than a government looking to prevent their existence, let alone one that will invent fictitious ways to do so that puts everyone in danger

I was reminded of this post over on the other app

Just heartbreaking news. He always seemed so kind during his time in Boston, and his family would sit in the supporters section with us. Just a tragedy.

Decided to watch Paranormal Activity for the first time since like, high school. I forgot how obnoxious this dude is 😂 He 100% is making things worse and then claims to be concerned about his girlfriend.

The internet has taught me there are people who just...don't watch movies in one go. Like will stop & come back the next day/days later. And my brain just cannot compute this. 1) Why are you putting it on when you don't have the time/energy to watch it? 2) Doesn't that ruin the vibe/flow? 3) WHY?!?!

Happy 9 years of being family, Artemis 💜

The Jimmy Kimmel firing, Colbert's show, what's happening at WaPo, CBS... legacy journalism is slowly but surely coming under state control. It is more important now than ever before that we support the independent journalists out there doing the work not beholden to a fascist's bidding.

Too real 😂

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

A little Monday evening affirmation for my OFMD pals

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Fear will try to convince us to isolate, to hoard resources, to avoid community, to build the least threatening campaigns making little impact. A grounded risk assessment will move us closer to each other, it’ll remind us of that we are millions, it’ll make our work more bold and more brave.

i have said this before but when “getting rid of race in admissions” for the administration means “you can’t even try to reach out to underrepresented communities and encourage them to apply and if you do it is illegal discrimination against white people” then the actual goal here is segregation

So terrifying to see on the broadcast and I can only imagine even more terrifying for her teammates and others who saw it happen in front of them. Sending love to them all and I hope they can get the support and care they need.

I am advocating for you to be killed but I am using my inside voice you must debate me this is called democracy

Share this far and wide! Magnum is ripping the heart out of Ben & Jerry's - set us free! #Freebenandjerrys

The Chicago Stars have spoken about the increased accessibility *to* Martin field, but how’s the accessibility *in* the stadium?

Starting my work day with a heating pad over my shoulder in hopes the nasty knot in my back will make me stop wincing every time I turn the wrong way 🙌🏻 I swear, meat suits are overrated sometimes. This one is constantly malfunctioning.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

Really leaning into the grief anniversary head on - just had to take Cora to the same ER where I took Miku last year before I had to say goodbye. We’re like 2 weeks shy of the exact date. (Cora is fine, just some mild swelling by her eye that she’ll get eye drops for)

Love the German Romantics. I always feel like I’m looking at a snapshot from a story or movie. I think I have a postcard or print of this one somewhere.

Twitter is owned by a neo-Nazi, the LA Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal are owned by pro-Trump billionaires, and CBS News will soon be run by a far-right Likud extremist. American media still has a liberal bias problem.

I refuse to give em dashes to the AI

Me: I have too many books out from the library, I might not be able to read them before they’re due! Also me: *goes to pick up new holds from the library and ends up grabbing the new @cheriepriest.com from the new releases display too because it looks so good*

Tried a ballet barre video to get some movement in today & all my muscles were like "babe, you haven't danced all summer, this is the best we can do" and WOW I might actually die when Irish dance starts up again on the 9th.

Naomi Osaka was the first player to get me curious about watching tennis, so it’s great to see her playing in top form again. A stellar match today.

that’s right it’s true you’re not dreaming it really is FRENCHIE FRIDAY

remember folks, we cant have gun restrictions because if we do the federal government will occupy our streets, imprison people without due process, ship dissidents to foreign gulags and things of that nature

The thing is, even if I wasn't concerned about my own personal health and wanting to avoid long covid (which I really am), disability advocates have never stopped asking us to show them solidarity and perform real community care by continuing to mask, so I'm gonna keep doing it

Had to deal with a house fly infestation in my kitchen today so if you need me I’ll just be twitching in a corner for a bit while I remember that horrible experience

“What has been taken as a very generalized thing called ‘executive function’ is actually really specific to a set of skills you need to navigate school and schooled worlds.” Bet a neurodivergent person could've told them that from the start.

Here in Baltimore this morning, where clergy and activists have gathered in support of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who is set to check in with ICE this morning. Heavy faith presence in addition to, just, a lot of people for 6:45am. Kilmar himself is about to speak.

this is how i feel every day of my life now

i need politicians to be as mad at housing prices as they are about cracker barrel's new logo

NWSLPA in Jan: that game will be too hot Us when the schedule came out: that game will be too hot Us the whole week of the game: that game will be too hot Us all day before the game: it’s gonna be too hot Berman when the game is delayed bc it’s too hot:

In a very special episode of my Fearless column (shoutout 80s and 90s kids), I write about the inhumanity of the NWSL season thus far. Last weekend was the tipping point.
