I lost my job when I died. I killed my temporary body. I stopped pretending to be a boy. I could breathe and see but it works better for the flow of society if i were forced to remain a martyr. Later history can claim it was always on my side, while plundering my artworks.

The European commissioner for human rights urges countries planning to exercise authoritarian restrictions on children's access to online connection to instead focus on creating safer online platforms that protect children's rights.

Just the other day Kathleen Stock was arguing that pathological demand avoidance was the product of adults having "disciplinary measures closed off". The only way I can interpret this is that she thinks you can smack the autism out of kids.

Breaking MS NOW: An ICE whistleblower is expected to testify at a congressional forum today that the agency is "lying to Congress and the American people" about its training of new recruits. Ryan Schwank was an ICE academy instructor for new recruits before he resigned earlier this month.

My abuelo went to NYC from Cuba during WWII and he worked as a snow shoveler for years before saving enough money to go back to Cuba so he could really start his life. Till his very last day - and I am not kidding - he carried his NYC snow shoveler ID in his wallet with pride. Respect is long due.

the richest man there's ever been selling the worst car there's ever been feels like such a symbol for this entire phase of history and the broader failure of capitalism in general when you think about it really.

You'll forgive me if I'm a little skeptical of AI. It's just that, all the people who are touting AI were the same people saying that clipart of cartoon apes was a legitimate investment vehicle a few years ago.

There's a very macabre undertone to the video, which is the realisation that the people doing this---actual torture of queer people---view themselves as entirely righteous, because not being heterosexual is a defect and more harmful than living a happy queer life. So they must carry on the crusade.

Y'all this is the BEST burn scar tutorial I've ever found. As someone with two burn survivor #OCs who's looked into this a lot, this is legitimately a fantastic resource. Also, draw more burned OCs! The Phoenix Society for Burn Survivors asks for more positive rep! www.tumblr.com/creation-hel...

I'm going to need people to update how they shit-talk people who want stuff done. "Oh, they're mad that they're only getting 30% of what they want" really rings different when the 70% of shit we're not getting is "someone to shut down the concentration camps."

When Newsom acts like a fool, what goes on in his head, what's he getting at?

Swedes are awake, make fun of my robot translation

There's a whole underlying semiotic form here about the dominant culture (possibly a majority, but maybe just the sedentary culture or even just its landowning elites) being a norm from which "minorities" deviate, with right/left and straight/weird being typical verbalisations of it.

Evil. Fundamentally evil.

Good morning

When I see a big pile of shit next to a Metro station, it is very upsetting. I’m very mad, but what I’m thinking is that there are two or three public bathrooms *at this station* that they won’t open.

“A fig newton? Pour MOI??”

btw if Canada wants to retaliate by burning the White House down again that's fine

it's important to remember you don't have to argue with people who want to make a point outside the scope of your comment. you can always tell em to "take it outside, buster"

Hey, excited to introduce myself. I'm the guy at Google who set it up so when you search "muslin bedsheets" your first hit is for linen duvet covers. My Christmas bonus is bigger than your salary.

NEW: Judge Eric Tostrud, a Trump appointee, issued civil contempt sanctions against DOJ today for moving a man out of Minnesota against an order, not releasing him under the timeline ordered, and not returning him to Minnesota. [h/t @kyledcheney.bsky.social ]

It’s not just white people, it’s basically all Christians, most of whom are not aware of the theology by which we reconcile half of our scripture saying the Jews are chosen by God with not being Jewish ourselves. Much easier to just say “hmmm actually I am Jewish”.

in the 19th century some Brits thought they were the lost tribe of Israel and that the Hill of Tara contained the ark of the covenant. they tried to dig it up, but Maud Gonne, Yeats and them counter protested and lit a big bonfire and sang "A Nation Once Again"

My uncle, Diego, was kidnapped and deported by ICE as he was delivering pizza in December. He had a work visa and was the co-owner of American Pie. This go fund me will go towards helping bring him back home, legal fees, rent and necessities, and support for the small business. gofund.me/d5a332ee9

Unfriendly reminder that only part of the coalition are private prison guys and convict labor contractors. The eliminationist faction will happily just kill people off in the limited space they have.

per report, DHS is aiming to complete construction on the camps in november. that’s plenty of time to stop or delay them indefinitely, but we need to be clear-eyed about the timeline here—and why a cautious response from our elected leaders isn’t acceptable.

Might be a good time to remember that each of us is profoundly annoying to someone.

Ew.

I would vote for completely overhauling professional sports in this country.

The difference: Trans women like women more than most women like women. As opposed to the men who make fun of women.

Coal can run, Coal can hide, Coal can beg for subsidies. But it can't escape.

All the forbes/wsj guys who made a career denying solar was better than fossil fuels should be locked in a volcano

People are allowed to have autistic food limitations. I have made my peace with never eating cayenne again.

I agree with this @cleverturnip.bsky.social post, don't get me wrong. But also, I'm remembering the amount of grief I got on social media for talking about paying people enough to have a light commuter vehicle and a pickup truck, instead of doing everything with the truck.

At this point, other than a good chunk of DHS (the parts that don't count on expertise), what is the right getting out of the Federal government if it cracks? I mean, maybe some of the crippled rump departments where they've run out the competent in favor of toadies, but...?

As someone who does vote, I don't believe in voter fraud. I believe that ballot box stuffing and intentional miscounts happen sometimes, though.

My favorite are the "free thinker" conspiracy nuts who 10-20 years ago swore that RFID chips were the harbinger of the globalist new world order and now those same people are clamoring for them because of racist ideas about non existent voter fraud.

If you've ever been curious about any grid's energy mix at any given time: app.electricitymaps.com Seeing the growth of solar and batteries in the past few years has given me a lot of hope. It's dark out right now and nearly 30% of California's electricity is coming from batteries!

Seen this movie before There’s a headline from the 1930s for every single thing that’s happening here today

A thing to keep in mind in the Netflix vs. Paramount bidding war for Warner Bros. Netflix does not propose to absorb CNN, TNT, TBS. It would spin them off in a new company like Comcast did with MSNBC. Whereas the Ellisons want to show Trump they can bring CNN to heel, as they have with CBS. Clear?

Whaddya know, a company that isn't going to fold like a cheap suit to make a few more bucks. Now I wont' have to cancel my Netflix subscription.

When will ICE finally be driven out of this land!

I denounce this vote, I'll stand up to the goons, and I'd really like to raise a million this week (unlike Suozzi, I don't have millions of my own.) secure.actblue.com/donate/danie...

The same goes for primary challengers to the other five who have decided to run for re-election on a platform of complete cowardice. If you live near NY-4 (southwest L.I.), NC-1 (Wilmington), WA-3 (across from Portland), TX-28 (San Antonio to the border) or TX-34 (Corpus Christi) go get involved!

Tom Suozzi represents the NY-3 district on northwestern Long Island. If there's any mayor or town council member in Syosset or Great Neck or wherever who wants to make their move, this is the time. Denounce this vote, promise you'd stand up to the goons, and you'd raise a million in a week.
