"I crush the patriarchy by leaving a seed of consciousness behind at every space that I navigate." -Isa Noyola

my partner asked me what I wanted for dinner last night and I responded “drive and momentum”

The Nordic model operates under the premise that the government and politicians know what's best for sex workers, whether sex workers like it or not. The Nordic model believes that silencing sex workers, surveilling sex workers and punishing sex workers will magically create safety.

"While talking with some friends recently, I realized that many of us had taken the experience we had managing our sexual health risks and used those same skills to manage and communicate about COVID risk." Really enjoyed this piece by @lizduckchong.bsky.social ! www.scarleteen.com/read/what-wo...

Texas' only licensed Hindi, Punjabi, and Urdu legal interpreter is now languishing in a Raymondville detention center. She’s lived in America for 35 years: www.texasobserver.org/immigration-...

Universal basic income is not science fiction. It should exist for everyone. There's enough to make it happen.

the joy I feel when my mask matches my outfit perfectly 🥰 here I am last night at a wedding

As thousands of amped up men are deployed in the streets and taught there are no consequences for killing anyone who refuses to submit to their authority, we should anticipate more violence to come. After all: The violence is the point.

“What small thing can you do for someone who doesn’t belong to you to make them feel a little safer?” Something I am often thinking about, put into words beautifully here.

as a neurodivergent traveling to a new place, I researched nearby food that meets my dietary needs months before we got here, and I gotta say the gf bagel sandwich I picked out last year has been amazing 3 days in a row now

high altitude has me laying down between every task, hydrating like my life depends on it, sleeping 11 hours, understanding on a new visceral level what my partner with LC experiences all the time

sometimes I wish we could try the pure oxygen masks on planes, not for an emergency, but just like as a treat

Do you want change or what? Act like it. It's not instant. The only way out is through. It takes years, decades, centuries. Are you in it for the long haul?

New study: The risk of Alzheimer’s disease significantly decreases in older adults who receive a higher dose of the influenza vaccine compared to the standard dose.

okay after being annoyed for two seasons I gotta say season 7 of True Blood is pulling me back in! Lala forever

No, the verdict in the ‘social media addiction’ lawsuit was not a win against big tech, it creates a legal precedent for mass surveillance, censorship, the total destruction of the open web. Go to badinternetbills.com and fight these laws!! 👈👈👈

Me: it’s about how a desire to belong leads people with no coherent internal identity to become fascists, but ultimately they’ll just morph into whatever the dominant ideology surrounding them currently is Bestie: oooooooooohhhhhhhhh

This is part of someone's longer post on FB that particularly resonated with me.

All cops lie all the time.

hypernormalization getting you down, per that guardian article? i have just the thing: 😷 www.theguardian.com/wellness/ng-...

"Getting COVID Again Is More Dangerous Than Most People Realize" "Each COVID-19 infection is a new stress on the body. Repeated infections may increase the risk of long COVID" "What makes getting long COVID especially dangerous is that there is currently no cure for it." Source: archive.md/Re86O

Hey leftists, it’s ok to discuss disagreements about strategy, but if you say people who take COVID precautions: - are too scared to leave the house - demand that everyone wear a mask 24/7 - are terrified of a just a "cold" You are using far right anti-science talking points.

PLEASE contact your representativesvand explain to them how awful these bills are. -No to KOSA, KIDS Act, and other censorship bills -No to sec 2.0 repeal/reform -No to pro-AI legislation -No to online ID/Age verification www.badinternetbills.com

It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

They’re trying to ram through KOSA, a full Section 230 repeal, and a slew of other anti-LGBTQ censorship and surveillance laws under the guise of “cracking down on AI” and a ton of dumb leftists are falling for it.

finally logging all of the crappy films I’ve been watching this year (besides sinners) on the film review website

reshare for alt text, republicans and rich people who want to privatize mail have been lying about the USPS and trying to push this narrative longer than I've been alive, and imposing massive financial burdens on it to make it "insolvent"

USPS must be fought for and protected. If USPS goes away, or is made private, it will negatively impact EVERYONE. The USPS is a service and not a business. The cost for operating shouldn’t be seen as a business loss. Stand up for the USPS! 💌 CALL YOUR REPS 5calls.org

It's never about kids safety

This is a Nation wide opportunity for non-lawyers to help get people out of ICE detention. You go to a courthouse, look stuff up, & pass it on to these folks to coordinate with attorneys to *get people out* habeasdockets.org/volunteer/

Who needs green beer when you can get a capsule history of Irish resistance and solidarity that makes a full circle to Palestine?

But seriously we are on the precipice of the demise of the USPS and too overwhelmed with crises to give it proper attention. The Constitution will not save it, the admin wants it dead, and Republicans in Congress are on permanent vacation. No one is coming to save it unless we show them it matters.

For anyone up late and eager to be pissed off: Ohio Republicans have introduced a bill that would require every pregnancy to be registered with the state and given a "certificate of life" jessica.substack.com/p/ohio-gop-w...

"Hope is not a form of guarantee; it’s a form of energy, and very frequently that energy is strongest in circumstances that are very dark." - John Berger

Most people act like Long Covid could never happen to them. But what makes them think they’re built stronger than this girl was?!? The vanity and delusion.

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

Nearly six months behind bars. No bail. When they finally dismissed the charges they released her in North Dakota with no winter clothes & no means of getting back home to Tennessee. They upended this woman's life.

Long Covid isn’t just an illness. It is an ostracizing condition that puts you in discordance with society, with your friends, your family, and yourself. People want very much to not think about it, but it’s inescapable if you have it. Only a few illnesses make you a social pariah, this is one.

They don’t want you to remember nightmares from 6yrs ago&1.2M deaths—& they certainly don't want you to pay mind to the ongoing harm repeated SARS2 infections continue to cause your community, your loved ones, yourself; your complacency—your maskless face—is advantageous to the fascist project. +alt

If 820,000 people a week are getting long COVID, the entire US population will have long COVID in eight years, which would be in 2027-2028. Kids, teens. Everyone.
