"Mr. President, you've turned the Strait of Hormuz into a more expensive, more volatile Suez Canal controlled by a man whose family you murdered."

No Kings in Berlin!

Another terrible thing about AI: archive.org used to mirror most news articles. Now, many websites have hard paywalls and block automated crawlers (including the Wayback Machine) because of the relentless AI crawlers sucking up bandwidth. This is terrible for researchers and for Wikipedia.

If you can, please send some money to Bex. She's been through a lot and she needs food and some help with utilities. If you're not familiar, she's fighting cancer and she's doing it without support or a safety net. Show up for her, please. She's always there for others.

Rebeka asked for $8, but their need is so much greater than that. They need $1250 to cover URGENT basic needs. This does not include transportation to their appts or to the hospital, or food, toiletries and other necessities. We have watched them lose everything to cancer. Please contribute?

And please thank lawyers doing this work. We’re carrying a lot of trauma for voiceless clients. We are tired. We have become experts in new law under the most dire circumstances. If you can, donate to immigration defense funds. They’ve been at it the longest and have the least resources. 30/end?

😂😂😂

PLEASE, if you can spare literally anything- it helps. if i can get $210 today i can move in tomorrow and have some stability. this week was physically taxing and i had to move to two different places bc there weren't open rooms. please help me if you can 🙏🏽 paypal.me/thelongestroad

Please start giving a shit about Black Lives. Like, as soon as possible. Because the way y'all keep scrolling past Black folks' mutual aids without an ounce of effort to reskeet or contribute is fucking frightening.

Tired: Nuremburg. Inspired: Târgoviște.

i will be starting scheduled radiation therapy on monday, so it would be amazing to have a place secured so that i can rest after the sessions (and not have to move around every few days) please chip in if you can 🙏🏽❤️ i still need $540 🥹

Bex is MashedBex from #ActuallyAutistic twitter & I think I met them through a fellow writer who kept sharing their controversial posts about people's opinions on self-diagnosed Autism. They really lost everything since they were diagnosed with cancer. They need us now. ko-fi.com/rebekamash/g...

i just feel like america has no business starting fights with the country that makes ozempic

please? still on $166 /334 for the tki (cancer) medication (missed 4 dosages so far) see the link in the thread ❤️

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.

I just think things would be better if society were to improve.

My favorite discovery this season has been klezmer Xmas music. Did you know there's a Yiddish version of Rudolph? youtube.com/watch?v=RWjc...

America is the greatest country in the world because of our rehabilitative justice system, universal healthcare, strong anti-poverty programs, racial equality, lack of corruption, robust consumer & worker protections, extensive mass transit, affordable housing, and wealth taxes on billionaires.

Please! us low-vision people wanna play too!

if you can spare anything, i am behind on utilities & need medication. i also need the last bit to be able to start radiation therapy. (see ko-fi goal) ko-fi.com/rebekamash/g... paypal.me/

1x Fahren ohne Fahrschein = 60€ 2x = 60€ und interne Meldung 3x = Anzeige 4x = Geldstrafe 5x = Bewährungsstrafe 6x = Gefängnis 1x Parken ohne Parkschein = 20€ 2x = 20€ 3x = 20€ 4x = 20€ 5x = 20€ 6x = 20€ 7x = 20€ 8x = 20€ 9x = 20€ 10x = 20€

Still this: "I disliked Biden because [thing Trump did], and I missed Trump because [thing Biden did]. I voted for Trump again because I wanted [thing Harris promised], But I really hope that Trump doesn't [core Trump campaign promise]."

The terrors persist but the joys remain worth fighting for

Yo momma's so bereft of class she could be a Marxist utopia.

It's only a matter of time before a mass shooter writes "thoughts" and "prayers" on their bullet casings.

ME CALLING FOR POLITICAL VIOLENCE TO SMITE MY ENEMIES: Haha, fuck yeah! Yes!! ME BEING TAGGED AS "UNIDENTIFIED SKULL #28" IN AN UNEARTHED MASS GRAVE A DECADE LATER: Well, this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

Opinion | As a Republican senator, I voted to confirm RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health of Human Services. But if I hadn't done it, I'd have been primaried by someone who would have voted to confirm RFK Jr. as Secretary of Health of Human Services.

Frank Zappa hasn't written any music in the last thirty years, but neither has Bach.

No Kings But Martin Luther, Jr.

Everyone else is talking about the autism epidemic; meanwhile, I'm talking about the new Stadler-Siemens DBAG Class 483/484 trains operating on the Berlin S-Bahn.

The worst part about realizing I'm neuro-atypical was telling my friends and family, only for them all respond with polite versions of "duh".

I love country music, but only if the country is Jamaica.

Don't use Signal to talk about classified war plans.

Breaking: the NIH cuts will halt research into a program that provides Golf Therapy to bone spur survivors.

The Washpost, which is bleeding millions of dollars and shrinking its staff, accepted -- and then rejected -- a $115,000 ad that criticized Elon Musk. Anyway, here's the ad that the Post's business side didn't want its readers to see ⤵️ thehill.com/media/514849...

Like a pediatrician, I have little patience.

Today would have been Graeber's birthday. I recommend checking out his work.

For any Democratic members of Congress who want to keep their mouth shut and strive for bipartisanship and think that'll keep them safe: I bike past this memorial on the way to work every day. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memoria...

🧵I think we need to talk about *waves hands wildly in all directions* differently. I see 3 goals: -Dismantling democracy+systems of accountability -Advancing white supremacist policies here+abroad -Immiserating non-billionaires for financial gain Each action is toward those one/all of those goals.

I am begging, actually begging y'all to use alt text in your images, particularly of Trump and Musk. Moderation filters can't work if you don't and if I have to keep seeing their faces I'm going to crash out.

Bored during the 2019 G7 summit in France, Donald Trump skips a security briefing to wander the town. He spies a gypsy fortune teller's shop and enters. Trump asks the gypsy madam "What does the future have in store for me?" She gazes deeply into her crystal ball, and pauses for a moment.

21. If you're traveling alone anywhere in Europe, go find a squatted anarchist / anti-authoritarian community center and show up for an event. Go a couple nights in a row and you'll make some friends who will show you where all the other cool events and stuff are. it's magic.
