In my case, my mother taught me archery instead of how to use a gun....

Had a small moment go well. I am grateful. Relevant: I was here first. I am wearing a mask. A man started smoking on the subway platform. I made eye contact and nonverbally requested that he move away. He did, with a quiet but perceptible apology. Community is strained, but not dead.

The retaliation against professor Tiffany Willoughby-Herard is disgusting. Please support her during these draconian sanctions imposed by the UCI Chancellor. chuffed.org/project/1562...

A more severe punishment than the already severe punishment of the UCI Senate, when charges were dropped. And, as others have noted, more severe than what Peter Navarro, convicted Jan 6 insurrectionist and UCI emeritus received, which is nothing. (I did donate, thus the post.)

Stella Schnabel says Trump administration is falsely accusing James ‘Fergie’ Chambers of contributing to Hamas

I can't even believe I live in this world where the isolation is so deep that I take abusive calls to "practice talking" -- but that is our world. And many days I can't imagine speaking. I regularly don't think I can remember how because at best I now speak once a week to someone I trust.

Danny Barber brought me on a first date to see The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the worst movie ever, back then and now, if by "worst" you mean the most terrifying.

Don't play in/with this air, y'all! Even if it looks or smells better. I had a perfectly sealed mask on the whole time I was outside except the car ( set to recirculating air) I still haven't been able to shake this headache all day. Guess what this smoke can do besides burn eyes & lungs

"The countries with officials present were Albania, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Belgium, Belize, Bolivia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Costa Rica, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, Denmark, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Estonia, Finland, France...Ukraine, United Kingdom, and Uruguay."

My mom wouldn't even let us call each other "stupid."

At the start I thought #MaximumPleasureGuaranteed was going to be one of those morality tales shaming women for connecting with strangers on the internet and being sexual. I'm two episodes in now and I can say, I really like the way the main character resists shame. it feels very authentic.

“The striking workers included epidemiologists, case investigators, drivers and gravediggers. “We don’t know how it is possible to not have been paid for two months,” Bahati Claude, a health worker at the centre, told The Associated Press.” www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/...

Escorting the nine-year-old to a friend’s birthday pool party, I told him I wasn’t going to swim in part because I’m dressed for work. He told me I could just jump in like Mamdani did. This is what socialism does to our children.

he look like asian james brown

“Black women are particularly affected: in a 16 month period between 2024 and 2025, over twice the proportion of Black women received a maximum-security designation from SAFER, compared to white women.”

I am beyond honored to have played a role in bringing this book to life. Go make sure you get your copy right now because this is going to be one of those books that sells out, trust me! www.akpress.org/anarchist-pa...

when and how did the journalists decide to type WOW instead of BREAKING? i think it's good, just curious how that came about.

"The idea that prisons are impenetrable, inescapable is demonstrably false and these histories are proof of that (as are the escapes that continue to take place today)!"

Many areas including NY, WI and MI have extremely poor air quality due to wildfire smoke. While public health agencies advise people to stay indoors and avoid strenuous activity, farm workers are out working in these conditions. 1/

Still nothing today toward the last $100 of this goal. I am taking a break from the app & will return soon. Again I need help with my son’s ID fee which is 31.25 plus Lyft money and I have to take off of my temp job to take him to get it so i will be missing a day of pay Thank y’all 💕✨

I need a loving back rub. Honestly I just need to be rubbed all over.

“There is no reason for me to be ashamed,” Liedtke said, in her first interview about the legal case. “Whenever we are silent, they will do it to another person.”

TW: rape, sexual assault "In December she became the first flotilla activist to talk publicly about rape in Israeli detention. More than a dozen others have reported sexual assault, most anonymously."

i personally think we should have two times: white people time, which would be referred to as Clench Time, and everybody else time which would be called Unclench Time.

That’s 2 stacks a month

god after putting me in certain scenarios:

If you have a few dollars to spare, please consider donating to one of my daughter’s classmates. His stepmother passed and his father is going through cancer and can’t afford the memorial. The student’s friends are helping, but only halfway there. gofund.me/2249ab6af

Go Fund Me for the sister who was surrounded by white supremacists on the Metro in that viral photo. If you shared the photo, consider actually making a material donation.

cause when you contextualize jay-z's behavior within a genealogy of black misleadership, vis a vie obama, bill cosby, killer mike, t.i, and so many others the question isn't why does he do it the question is why does anybody who considers themselves fans of these folks pay to be humiliated

i mean.....Howard University students famously bring Obama to campus to celebrate his historic victory, only to be scolded by him about being respectable black people. bill cosby's likeability was long tied to this tactic, his willingness to scold black people publicly as a means of "empowerment"

i really hope u reflect on this and remember that u DO NOT have to have yt 'friends' at all! u deserve to be with ppl that u can be ur full self with. i don't know where u are based, but i'm sure there are Black ppl there that u can connect with. pls read: bell hooks' "Rock My Soul"

This seems to be part of the same strategy targeting Neville Singham and the US nonprofits tied to him.

Yup, union leadership across the country has been co-opted by members of a certain party we are not supposed to criticize. They encourage things like breaking strikes (see: Biden and AOC strike-breaking at the request of union leaders years ago!) and do not support their workers! Disgusting.

"I arrived on the day Lindsey Graham died." - Mitch McConnel at the Jay Z concert last night.

this is exactly what happened and no one can convince me otherwise

Public storage is sold as neutral infrastructure, a convenience. For artists, it is often a site of profound vulnerability. These spaces are not designed to preserve culture, but to extract monthly fees.

Still one of the best memes to come out of 2020

Lindsey Graham is dead. While death is a serious matter, oppressors and the wicked dying can be a source of joy and relief. Let’s forego that “let’s consider his family” mess. He should’ve considered them and chosen to live a better life.

That man is fine. Whew!

I watched the first episode of this season's #HouseOfTheDragon #HOTD #DemDragons. It was a lot. They really took both that lady's sons
