the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I have a theory that Spock's human mum was autistic as fuck, which is why she got on with Vulcans.

Microsoft forced to make Windows 10 extended security updates truly free in Europe

I assume that we won't get Surgeon General reports about the epidemic of white men shooting people and sociological studies about where their fathers are?

It doesn't matter who gets killed, it doesn't matter what the circumstances are, the Right is going to use it for their own purposes. If this isn't obvious by now you're choosing to be obtuse.

Wild how all the people doing crime these days just coincidentally leave bullets with the narrative they want very neatly written on top

Trump’s FBI is dishonoring law enforcement’s long history of planting believable evidence

I get why you'd charge more as a hair stylist for doing curly hair, but at the same time, ... bitch? The fuck?

I genuinely cannot emphasize this enough. Law enforcement manufacturing evidence and testilying isn't novel to the Trump administration. It's not even more common. They're just worse at it so they're more easily caught doing it.

Shhh let them cook

writing "self defense" on all my ammo just in case anyone ever asks me any questions that are already answered by the ammo

Imported from @lyz.bsky.social on Threads

Me: Do you want to guess what they wrote that was "anti-ICE" 'in nature' on the bullets? Him: Probably some Right-wing thing like, "ICE isn't racist enough". Me: Anti-ICE Him: Okay, so something else... Me: No, "Anti-ICE" Him: Literally just those two words? Me: Yes. Him: omg

So, the story here is a guy turned up to shoot ICE agents with his 'anti ICE' bullets and only managed to shoot detainees? That's the story? That also doesn't look like engraving, it looks like pen. I hate you can't trust anything these fucks say (FBI not the reporter here).

this archetype remains undefeated

Hell is not hot enough.

so it goes

Autism is a natural divergence from neurotypicality. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be. Transness is a natural divergence from cisnormativity. It's normal & not the tragedy these clowns are making it out to be. Just deal with people being different than you.

tylenol doesn’t ‘cause’ autism, no shit, but more importantly if i were pregnant and had a headache you couldn’t stop me from taking tylenol if it caused straight up miscarriages

this shit is like 90% eugenicist pseudoscience at the expense of autistic people who in no way deserve it, with a sexy little 10% of paternalistic tyranny over expectant mothers, and i’m here to tell you all that i will have absolutely none of it. let the fucking kid be autistic who fucking cares

Happy #Bisibility Day to those who celebrate. 💙💜❤️

The Overton Window is skewed so far right that it is nearly impossible to have a political conversation with anyone in the western world.

I'm getting more used to taking stock photos of myself, and having fun, but goodness is it exhausting. Wish I had more stamina, but especially lately, that's just not the case. 😞

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

This is Charlie. He can't help but sing along when his favorite song comes on. 14/10 please turn it pup (TT: nunnyaaaaaaa)

Even down to how they exploit the changes in diagnostic criteria to suggest there's some "contagion" or "epidemic." What those changes actually point to is a move away from a model of suppression to a model of acceptance, and that's what actually terrifies them

a lot of folks will be pointing out (rightly so) that autism predates Tylenol but the real argument isn’t whether or not Tylenol causes autism, the real argument is whether or not we deserve to exist how do you think it feels, to hear the whole nation discuss how to prevent one’s very being

Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

People are making Rapture jokes like there's no tomorrow

Every online discussion of a topic where experiences differ between people is like Poster with a severe food allergy: any tips on avoiding peanuts PeanutLover10000: Hi OP, personally I just fucking love peanuts. I can chow down bags of salty nut every single day. I would literally die without them

Today’s autism announcement was just as bad as we feared Trump blamed Tylenol & vaccines for autism They encouraged women to just “tough out” their pain They praised people who don’t “need” meds or vaccines These are eugenicist talking points & they’re devastating to the disability community:

Kids will die because some idiots won’t give their kids Tylenol for a fever. A high fever can cause brain damage in young kids if it is not treated.

The eugenics crap coming from this administration is… deplorable.

if you want to "make big pharma FURIOUS" implement price controls, socialize medicine. dont do whatever the fuck this is

Just a reminder before the “big announcement” today. Autism was discovered in 1911 and the modern definition of Autism came in 1943. Tylenol wasn’t widely used until the 1950s. Anyone trying to tell you that Tylenol causes Autism isn’t someone that should be taken seriously.

I wish we could influence our corporations to divest from all military and munitions companies, but this would be a great start.

Don't stop boycotting them. There are an infinite number of reasons to not support Disney. They've destroyed copyright, small businesses, stolen from artists, have toxic work environments, destroy local economies, avoid taxes, are a monopoly, etc. They need to be broken up. Like Google, Meta, etc.

I'm watching Extraordinary Attorney Woo for the first time, and although yeah, the main couple is cute, I feel like Young-woo and Soo-yeon have better chemistry. 😅

I'm not a religious person, but if anyone who sees this could send some prayers, or spell work, or good vibes or whatever towards my brother and his family, I'd super appreciate it. They are just having the worst time right now and my brother is really struggling. :(

With my dying breath, I will wheeze, “Interpreting’s the talking one. Translating’s the writing one”, knowing full well that, just as in my life, no one who is not a translator and/or interpreter will take heed of these words after my death.

Anyone else get this dumbass email? lmao. What trash. I won't be using any new teachers on Italki with this garbage layout and AI/fish crap. It sucks, but I don't want to support a company that clearly doesn't want to support its teachers or students. #langsky

I like how evangelicals are like “oh we’re so persecuted” and when you ask how it’s basically “we’re forced to accept [insert minority here] as human beings.”

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia
