Oh I have some VIEWS on this man!!! Shall we start with him making Whitney sing takes over and over again early in her career as they were “Too Black”

Poor people—especially poor disabled people—are allowed to dislike things. They’re allowed to be allergic to or sensitive to things. They’re allowed to be in circumstances you don’t understand. And they do not owe you any explanation, especially when your advice is unsolicited and unwanted.

if i could ask for another boost, this family is really going through it & could use support this is an *ongoing urgent* situation - dialysis keeps getting turned off due to lack of funds. if we could get more eyes on this i know they'd be very grateful. 💗

I really really hate calling them emergency commissions but I do need some funds for bills in the next week or so as my work has almost completely cut hours (I’m actively looking for a new job so hopefully I’ll be in a better position soon) ko-fi.com/daliac/goal?...

"Be beige not rainbow" is the single most radicalizing thing I've ever read. Because what the fuck do you mean? Are you deadass?? Why would ANYONE even those ostensibly on your side want that

I’ve seen similar trends happening at a library branch near where I live. We must be aware of this shit and put pressure on the people who are trying to pull it off. Unfortunately the quote “to be neutral in the face of injustice is to take the side of the oppressor” is increasingly relevant

We were all fed the same diet of "The free market is the best way to spend money. States just fuck it up by and never innovate which should be a crime. Corporations can only spend money wisely." This is the result.

Holy shit this entire thread

Dialysis is off I couldn’t make the payment for supplies to be able to connect her safely she can’t reuse it’s dangerous please I’m begging it’s off it’s off god please help

i don't know how to make it clearer that there are 5,000 soldiers + federal agents + the 30-odd police forces that are always here + like the oklahoma sheriff's department for some reason, in an area that is *68 square miles* and has lower crime than many of the places these folks come from

an updated explainer and timeline of the DC occupation would be extremely helpful. i know most people are not even conscious of it. we really do need to get the word out about the details of occupation by a vast army of police and soldiers

Okay. I'm going to start a thread with all of my favorite autism/ADHD/AuDHD/neurospicy memes/posts. Here goes.

"Be beige, not rainbow" is the outcome of librarians saying libraries should be neutral. We cannot and are not neutral, and we gotta stop insisting that we are. At this point, it is part of the book ban playbook.

With the newly released AI warning for Steam v1.1.0 you can turn the AI disclosure on Steam store pages into an unmissable popup and blur or hide games with an AI disclosure in the search results! github.com/seeeeew/aiwa... addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addo... chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-wa...

Now-annual reminder that if you're at ALA and someone you don't know begins asking you weird questions about book bans and censorship...and they're wearing glasses...they may, in fact, be recording you.

Vaccines save lives. This is the FIRST time that ZERO cervical-cancer deaths have been recorded for this age group, and it’s thanks to the introduction of a vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV). Yes, you read that correctly. ZERO.

Great to see this happening now. We learned from COVID that public health leaders can't be relied on in a crisis, and are skipping straight to cleaning up their messes proactively.

Sometimes my scrolling habits are nice and simple: I see pretty art, I immediately follow the artist. Rinse and repeat

Solidarity with these interns! ✊🏽 It's not just the right and ethical thing to do because the labor of interns has worth and deserves respect, but because we know unpaid and underpaid jobs in public service create an economic barrier that excludes those who cannot afford to work for free.

Ok so does anyone know of a good, affordable controller for switch and PC? Mine broke today so I’m looking to get a new one 🥲 Preferably $30 USD or less, but i might consider a pricier one if people can attest to it REALLY lasting a long time without having problems even with daily use

"death of the audience" is genuinely unironically good advice for anyone who wants to make anything

when we think about self-harm we often think of cutting or burning non-suicidal self-injury can also include head banging, punching things/ourselves, scratching, throwing self into a wall, biting ourselves, and more Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT) can help some people find alternative coping skills

Ok y’all, does anyone know of some SUPER low effort, budget friendly basic makeup routines and products I could look into? Right now I don’t have anything quick and easy for my new job, and unfortunately I don’t know if they’ll be ok with me showing up bare-faced like I prefer.

Yall I cannot express just how much I love Bibi’s products! I have a wrist brace and compression gloves and they are both EXCELLENT! So much knowledge and consideration is put into every single product!

But i thought NFTs were astrology for boys. And crypto. And prediction markets. And ai. Wow, it's a good thing we don't have a lady president. Think of all the random vibes-based nonsense we'd have to deal with.

Hey look! A reminder that Discord still plans on doing this! Raise the alarm bells again!

Hey…where do people buy clothes from? 😭😭😭😭 Everything is plastic & $100 per item & I’m going to explode. Search engines are also useless. Is fast fashion the only option?? Wtf! Serious inquiry!! I’m tired of clothes being hot plastic. 😡

We’re inside for a week & started laundry. 🩷 Can we get storage unit covered? There’s $104.42 left. Anything helps, I just wanna get that done now & focus on care needs. TY! ☁️ Linktr.ee/hiitsbritt #homelesssky #bipocma #mutualaid #fundsky #helpsky #disabilityma #mutualaidrequest #pridemonth

i think if a player refuses to wear the rainbow jersey the city should lose their team and everyone should be fired. this is the moderate approach

I don’t think non physicians realize how for real physicians, vaccines is a controversy like flat earth or creationism or birds aren’t real "No true Scotsman" actually holds here it's hard to really describe how baffling this is, how frustrating its been to see grow and how high the price will be

Never talk to a federal agent, don’t try and “out smart” them. Lying to them is a federal crime. Slickest thing you can do it say nothing. Slam that phone/door and call a lawyer or legal support. also don’t be private about agents calling around. warn your community.

Any amounts are needed right now

Let’s go everyone!!! $705 left to keep us inside, $151 for storage unit, anything at all for food, & will use w/e from that for laundry. Only 13 hours left!!!😱 #PrideMonth #juneteenth Linktr.ee/hiitsbritt #homelesssky #bipocma #mutualaid #fundsky #helpsky #disabilityma #mutualaidrequest

Dear tourists who have discovered a love for ranch dressing: if you have the chance, try dipping pizza in it while you’re here. Like literally just order from one of the pizza chains (nothing fancy or unique) and dip it in basic ranch dressing. (Many folks in the Midwest do this)

"So, if I use ChatGPT you think less of me?" Yep. Hope this helps.

It’s important on Juneteenth to remain aware that we live in a country driven by various degrees of unjust human exploitation & our economy that we call American capitalism relies on legal loopholes that permit slavery & the threat of homelessness, which can be punished with enslavement, to function

I need to understand why The Walt Disney Company isn't paying the invoices of a Black artist for cover artwork pieces that were turned in well ahead of their deadlines? Please share to bring attention to this. 🧵
