1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken. Hundreds of kids are still detained. We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

The FDA won’t tell Americans where their generic drugs are made, so ProPublica did it instead. Use information from your prescription label to locate the factory and see if the plant has a history of inspection violations ⤵️

My church has an older Spanish speaking member teach the congregation a phrase in Spanish every week. I appreciated the message quite a bit this week.

got my nails done with my lovely stepmom @karlaliliana.bsky.social yesterday! i’m trying to be less self conscious about my face which means everyone else has to see it too, and no close up of the nails yet because i’m evil (can’t find my nail artist’s instagram)

ok I’m realizing that I’ve been treating Bluesky as more purely political and transactional than as an opportunity for community so here’s a lighthearted post :) tiny selfie dump from my first semester at Chico State! plus a caterpillar. go Wildcats or something 😎❤️

reposted this today because the inverse is also true: if you abandon trans people right now, you are abandoning civil rights period. if you can't stand up for trans people when it matters, no one should, or will, ever trust you when the bullseye moves to the next target.

Can we talk about that headline? If it’s true, you don’t need “Democrats say.” If it’s untrue, don’t put it in a headline. Either way, you’re fucking reporters. Find out what’s true, and write that.

Snoop's ignorance reminds me of this dynamite passage from Bill Russell's book "Second Wind." He wrote this in 1979 and it still applies today: People use children to express their bigotry and narrow-mindedness.

fuckin. absolutely

Because like with Covid if you don’t have the real stats the issues don’t exist. It’s authoritarianism 101 and an its an attempt to quell any ability to protect ourselves collectively against systemic and societal risks in any meaningful manner.

It's all facts don't care about your feelings until the feelings are from white men with ridiculous power and money who want to live in a theme park where the rest of us serve them and keep our problems out of their eye-line.

update: a box fell on my head this is a symbol of radical acceptance among my new people

hot cheetos are so nasty and the fact people put them on everything is the worst thing to ever happen to me. why are you selling a philly cheesesteak with hot cheeto dust😕

good posts, it would be a shame if i liked them all in rapid succession

Even before chatgpt came on the scene, humans already produced more information than any one person could ever consume even the tiniest drop of it. Why would I ever care to read the output of a computer over something a person put their heart and mind in to?

10 years ago, Blizzard canceled an ambitious AAA project after at least 6y of development. The team salvaged what they could and made Overwatch, which attracted over 50 million players and made over $1B in its first year. Nobody (not even Blizzard) learned the right lesson from that story.

NASA scientists, idiots, morons: "if we want to hit a moving target in a few years, we should aim ahead of it." AAA vg execs, geniuses, wizened sages: "I believe that every new trend I am presented with will last forever. Object permanence is for commies, quarterly number must go up at all costs."

anyway

way too much politics on this site smh my head

The way Christians have incorporated their religious rituals into politics, particularly as they leave all of the purported ethics and morals of their religion behind, is truly disturbing

Okay well sex is just wet tickling but I don’t see anyone bitching about it

PLEASE NOTE: "May you never be the reason why someone who loved to sing, doesn't anymore...dressed so uniquely, now wears plain clothing...spoke so excitedly about their dreams, is now about to silence them...gave up on a part of themselves...because you were sarcastic about it." ~Mostafa Ibrahim

There is no amount of control you can exert over other people’s choices that will help you feel better about this moment in time. Only action for communities you care for will do that.
