The trick is to say I know I’m racist--how can I become less so?

The adultification of Black Girls is beyond gross. And grown ass adults who are incapable of doing their jobs shouldn't have one. Talk about infliction of stress. We would sitting up in court right now. people.com/mom-says-er-...

Harriet Washington's Medical Apartheid has a section on this; I specifically recall a Black town (in Florida I believe) that was sprayed with mustard gas.

WiPs I might do another painting stream this afternoon. 🤔

White people, if you don't understand and feel the deep pain of how we've learned to prioritize comfort even over *love* and *survival* then it's really something you need to sit with. When you start prioritizing love, your whole mindset changes. And that's what we need, societally.

I propose "getting screwwormed," which is when an entirely predictable and preventable negative outcome happens because of people without scientific expertise who think they can tell which science is valid.

this morning I played everyone's favorite game Is It Safe To Take My Wheelchair Outside? *crowd goes wild *cue snazzy lights* I went around my block to test it out & nothing malfunctioned (long as I avoid certain patterns which result in it glitching) so next time... crossing the street 🤞

Remember, at its base, the AI boom is about companies telling you they'd rather burn trillions of dollars in a furnace than pay you decent wages in exchange for the ability pursue their sci-fi and slavery fantasies.

Not sure who still needs to hear this but; “HEALTHCARE BEFORE DATA CENTERS”

This is a fascinating piece written by an Indigenous reporter

Big employers from Cigna to PricewaterhouseCoopers are dropping coverage of so-called GLP-1s in droves. Others, like Chevron, are making workers jump through extra hoops to get coverage...such as requiring multiple weigh-ins a month, meal-tracking on apps or sessions with an online health coach.

“Two weeks before his death, a mental health nurse wrote in her notes that Mitchell was acting out “all to get attention.””

We're still here! 😁 Thankful for books, thankful for stories 📚 Video Description: Mychal exclaims, "I'm still alive!" Books, characters, stories kept him here. He's a struggle bus rider (a struggle bus conductor!), but he's survived. He keeps going one day at a time, seeking reasons to stay 💚

Hey Massachusetts: your turn.

One cannot in good conscience use the tactics of the right, to fight for the rights and freedom of the left. Because the tactics they use are rooted in inequality, in lack of integrity, in lies, chaos and the willingness to destroy this country to succeed www.dailykos.com/stories/2026...

A Trump-appointed federal judge in Idaho is facing criminal charges after a heated confrontation over parking which saw him snatch a man’s glasses from his face and stomp on them, according to reports. --> Judge Karen. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Whenever faced with tough questions he’d rather not answer, Trump often shifts the spotlight from the substance of the issue to the person asking about it, turning policy disputes into personal battles. The dispute began when White House correspondent atlantablackstar.com/2026/06/05/t...

It's a good time to repost this.

Ok, so I need stickers made and a flag. If you can rec an indigenous artist on etsy or elsewhere that'll be awesome.

I mean... no shit. There's no gender equity without trans rights but some Democrats are afraid of "the trans issue" interfering with the ability to get state-level ERAs passed, so they're doing nothing. People are still complaining about language: "pregnant people? I'm not a people. I'm a woman!"

The problem with this whole Alpha Male Loneliness Pandemic is that too many Mothers pampered that shit and didn't snuff it out before puberty. If you got a husband/baby daddy that is "Alpha Male" poison, then yes, you're a part of the problem equation.

New Medicaid rules may force doctors to do something they were never trained to do: determine which patients with HIV, cancer and other conditions are too sick to work. Doctors told me this will be especially hard bc the energy/mobility of the chronically ill fluctuates day-to-day.

police use tech to avoid doing work. they say they are "generating leads" but they are really just trying to google the answer. when forced to do work, see nancy guthrie, oops.

Fight for free dental care in this county.

My back side tooth is gone for this EXACT reason. Cracked filling…broke my tooth. Ear pain, jaw pain. Never cried so hard in my life. A dental implant with my great state insurance is $3k. I will stay without the side tooth.

It is a sad world we live in when "I don't get it" or "I don't think this is for me" are things that not everyone considers when judging something. I mean, sure, some things are legitimately bad no matter how you look at it. But some just look bad to the wrong audience.

People have to realize that the work might not be meant for them. They don't have to like it (or demand their refund). The customer is not always right. That man has to realize that his opinions =/= fact.
