This is a very sweet (if very Christian-centric) trans-led mutual aid project that connects anonymous gift givers with unhoused or in-foster care trans kids. www.transanta.com/about

When you fight censorship, you're also fighting for things you might not exactly like and it's something you gotta get comfortable with. I promise you, the fetish game you turn your nose up at is NOT YOUR ENEMY. You must think of the bigger picture, you must not fall for the bait.

This. Whenever local government reviews the library budget and asks, "Why should we give you money?" We want the library to be able to say, "Because we provide a valuable service used by many people!" Libraries are like muscles, using them more makes them stronger. 💪

can't fucking believe lefty larpers are out here actually thinking artists wanting to be paid for their creative work is being bougie, that's so fucking embarrassing, the capitalism is calling from inside the house

Veterans of the VetsForward organization are calling out Pete Hegseth’s controversial actions aimed at Senator Mark Kelly.

Disagree

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays: Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink. If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business. Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

Sometimes being the bigger person isn't worth the energy. Sure, being a cool unbothered bitch is badass, but it's also resource intensive. Maybe just don't share spaces with people you don't like.

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they didn’t let women have their own credit cards til 50 years ago

“we need to be nicer to men” bro they overturned women’s constitutional right to an abortion three years ago

"not today, satan" is such a funny phrase. "maybe tomorrow, satan." "when i have less of a support structure around me, try again then, satan"

Slept wrong and now it hurts if I turn my head: the middle-aged story

I have been trying to tell everyone not to mention all of this in the description! Now you better listen!

“you’re too old for fandom” is ridiculous. i only want to read fanfiction written by people old enough to know what the citrus scale is.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday make up 20% of corporate retailers' annual sales. What better way to send a message to companies like Amazon, Target, and Home Depot, who don’t care about the very people lining their pockets, than to say, We Ain’t Buying It! WeAintBuyingIt.com

Seriously, the one idea we need to bend society towards for the back half of the 21st Century is “The cemeteries are full of irreplaceable men.”

Whereas the top wolves are basically just acting like parents and making sure everybody’s got food and letting the cubs crawl all over them. Honestly, the most wolf-like people around are mom friends and the dads who check your oil and sneak jumper cables into your trunk.

Whatever is revealed tomorrow, protect your peace.😌 Some fans (like me) like to dissect a show. Talk reactions, predictions, highs, lows, etc. A good faith gab; heat, not hate. 1/2

One of the strangest aspects of aging that they don't warn you about is watching as history gets rewritten right in front of your face and people 20 years younger than you confidently tell you about something you lived through and get it completely wrong.

We're primarying John Fetterman. Last week, Fetterman again sold out working Pennsylvanians. He was the deciding vote for a Republican budget bill that will strip healthcare from over 400,000 Pennsylvanians. We deserve real working class leadership in the Senate, not a Trump-enabling Democrat.

So, just to be clear, in addition to sending queer people out into the cold to starve or freeze to death, the SA also: - provides food services for ICE - provides correctional services to the carceral system - union busts They’re almost comedically evil.

If you're ever wondering why every party seems to bend over backwards to appease the right you could do worse than this observation.

A woman on TikTok did a very simple experiment: With SNAP benefits paused, would churches give a poor mother with an infant who was starving a can of baby formula? Spoiler alert: the Protestants failed. religionunplugged.com/news/kentuck...

trying to convince a friend to join your fandom just so you have a safe space to yap about it:

Breaking the curse. Have a splendid December!

Media Literacy 101 class. Lesson 1 Use your brain. Seriously. Just one brain cell. I'm begging.

So if anyone else happens to see these floating around you are immune now. You are safe.

Female character who is bubbly and optimistic: stupid and annoying Female character who is not bubbly and optimistic: rude, cold uncaring bitch.

please remember to use photos of norman reedus to pass these tests because they WILL store this and it WILL get stolen

people who use ai images always got the most bland personalities of all time you can just tell they’re talentless by how they talk

I want to very gently say something, and I hope nobody will be mad: If somebody on the internet says something that is NOT about politics and NOT about how terrible everything is, it’s a kindness not to reflexively make a comment (in jest or not) that brings it back to those things.

Attention friends! As a Cyber Sec Specialist, I feel a need to share this. If you receive an email from Ao3, alerting you to a password reset attempt, DO NOT click on the links! This is a scam to get you to provide your current password. Absolutely terrible. Safe cyber smart! #ao3 #scamalert

WE WON. I am *begging* you to take note of who did this. *Not* UCLA admin—they’re still scuttling around behind closed doors, attempting to appease—but FACULTY AND STAFF, led by AAUP.

dance break: hellaverse edition #hazbinhotel #helluvaboss

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

Yes, yes, "they would not fucking say that", but consider: "huge fucking dumbass randomly displays inexplicably deep insight on some pertinent, narrowly defined topic while remaining in every other respect a huge fucking dumbass" is never not funny.

This will only get easier with AI, body dysmorphia about to go crazy

Smut is fine, porn is fine, writing about difficult subject matter or other fucked up shit is fine. Books are not capable of harming, traumatizing, or corrupting you. Mobbing an author bc of something they WROTE instead of something they DID is censorship and you're acting like a fascist. Sit down.

lrp i still mask in all public spaces but guess what, masks are also super helpful in cold weather to keep your nose and face warm! you can help others and yourself at the same time

This is sobering but precise. From Ludlow to Haymarket to Flint, the 20th Century gave us the 40-hour week, discretionary income and ultimately the American middle class. We will accept the slide back into subsistence poverty or we will have to fight the 20th Century all over again.

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

Prices aren't coming down. Trump lied. They started going up as soon as he took the wheel.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.
