We’ve all got that one homie who’s never more comfortable than when they’re curled up in the arms of a monster

Portland enacts emergency powers of nudity to check federal overreach.

klein thoroughly misunderstands abortion as a political issue in red states: as a single issue, a solid majority of voters are in favor of making it legal or expanding access, but it's not enough of an animating issue to get voters who otherwise lean conservative to elect pro-choice candidates

Never believe bigots when they yammer about the "inherent queerphobia" of Palestinians, Muslims, Arabs, or whatever Orientalized "Other" they're slagging on

And don't come back!!!

My family,my children have always been my top priority in life. They are the most precious part of me. I dedicated all my time and energy to them, until I nearly forgot myself forgot that I am an engineer who studied and worked hard for more than ten years. 🔗 chuffed.org/project/your...

There was a Soviet children's book that explained the basics of calculus and it totally blew my mind. Area under the curve with infinitely thin strips of glass, etc. Little Zero Takes to the Seas by Vladimir Lyovshin Did not become a mathematician but did become a (semi-lapsed) scientist.

This is my opinion only: Ezra Klein I have found who you can throw under the bus. It's foot guys. And under the bus they can watch feet more clearly, so win-win

To Gaza with love. Latest update from Global Sumud Flotilla.

They're getting close globalsumudflotilla.org/tracker/

the "who will the public blame for the shutdown?" handwringing is asinine. the vast majority of voters have no idea how government shutdowns work, and by the time midterms roll around they won't remember anything that didn't impact them directly

"gay married couples should be allowed to open carry while smoking weed in public" isn't even idiosyncratic, it's 100% internally consistent and not particularly rare

Stevie Nicks with the one-winged dove, Michael Stipe with the hurt, lost and blinded foal

Horrifying— Barbara Gomes Marques went with her US citizen husband and lawyer on 9/16 to a green card appointment at USCIS office in downtown LA where she was tricked into walking down a hallway away from them, was snatched by ICE and never came back. She now faces imminent deportation in Louisiana.

My UV reactive flower pride pins work best in bright sunshine so probably aren't going to sell much over the next few months. If you happen to live in the southern hemisphere though, it might be the perfect time to check out some summery colour science!

Sama'a's cousin has died of wounds sustained during Israel's bombing. Her family, already rocked by grief, must deal with another crushing loss. Please give what you can.

i keep saying this but what i hate most about the ezra kleins of the world is their insistence is that politics is about messaging and triangulating. its never about offering a compelling vision of the world, its about trying desperately to capitulate to whatever moment we are in

hey, cis people. we need you to call every single elected official you've got, now.

one of the moments where I realized how cooked we are as a society was when people started saying that not voting for a politician means you "failed" or "betrayed" them. what a fucked up way to look at politics

as a christian, one thing i love about trump is that he explicitly rejects the teachings of jesus

perfect encapsulation of what the far right is doing, they want to push the overton window as far as possible. they want to enact fascism and it’s intentional

I conducted some research on Dr. Ian Roberts, the Superintendent of Des Moines Public Schools in Iowa, who has recently been detained by ICE, despite having lived in the US legally for decades. He earned his permanent residency through a green card. 👇🏾

Went to the Fall Festival and everybody was tripping

“It’s yet another way this regime practices eugenics. By refusing disabled people the accommodations they need, they’re targeting them for elimination. People die in ICE custody every year, but we often don’t hear about them. Their stories go untold, their pleas unheard and the eugenics unopposed”

there is now a gofundme to support barbara’s family and friends: www.gofundme.com/f/help-barba...

Can't tell you how bizarre it is to read an article about the person you wake up next to every morning. Please keep spreading the story of what happened so that people can maybe start to understand how bad things truly are for us.

this brought me the closest i've come to wanting to attempt to write fantasy, fam

This is why all people with a conscience refused to get behind her

Palestinian families like Ahmad's are being violently displaced & starved to death in Israel's genocide. Please help by sharing & donating if you can to cover the costs of healthcare, food and evacuation:

Saw this a couple weeks ago and was really worried it was fake but WOWEEEEE IT'S REALLLLL

Sigh, another round of "we have to debate back", the problem is we want to live our lives in safety and security, the anti side want never to have to see a trans person in public again. There isn't any way you can debate your way out of that

Madison Carstens, a transgender woman from Seattle, was attacked by six men in a transphobic hate crime on Sept 2. She suffered a ruptured eardrum - that may have permanently damaged her hearing - and a severe concussion that will keep her out of work for weeks or months. Do your thing, fam. (1/2)

Y’all I am in urgent need of this medication, but I cannot afford it If you know any pharmacist in Gaza, who could help me obtain one I would be deeply grateful. I’am presents with severe eczema, refractory to other treatments, and demonstrates a therapeutic response solely to this medication.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE FALLEN WORLD FOR RECOGNIZING THE PALESTINIAN STATE; NOW MAY THEY RECOGNIZE THE PALESTINIAN HUMAN BEING.

I think more people should challenge the fact this weirdo views women as currency and fears trans women will dilute the market

do you think nudists are constantly having nightmares about accidentally wearing pants

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

A disabled double amputee named Rodney Taylor has been held in ICE custody since January. He’s been denied his new prosthetic legs and is now in solitary confinement. His “crime”? A burglary when he was a teen for which he received a full pardon. 🧵

If you support Palestinian rights we are extremely close to our goal!! less than 5k to go. please pitch in, my family in Gaza is large and we all need to eat, get medicine and survive the genocide & starvation . Help us evacuate to safety we beg you donate 50 its mean a life to us 🙏🏽🙏🏽

hey everyone. PSA from your old friend Gene. Don't fight with steel swords if you have a cell phone in your pocket

Gaza is under attack and the cost of escape is $15,000. If one can find someone to help. The Gazans are trapped and starving and rely on our donations to survive. Please give to my dear friend Tasneem, so she can feed her family and escape Gaza, and to others. ❤️ 🙏

This is your daily reminder that reading fiction helps you develop as a person and reinforces your ability to empathise with people, so no, fiction isn’t a waste of time. On the contrary, reading fiction makes you more human.

it is genuinely embarrassing for the american literary scene, let alone the genre lit scene, that authors like Samuel R. Delany and Ursula K. Le Guin were writing +far+ more introspective and transgressive takes on gender and sexuality in the mid to late 60s than anyone today

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

I got my COVID and flu shots. Lovelies, if you haven't already, go get yours.
