I read a lot of books about climate, and it's wild how basically anything written before 2022 is completely dated because it starts from the assumption that clean energy costs more. It doesn't. We're in a whole new world.

I think it's telling how many people would see this and criticize the parents for letting a kid ride where it's dangerous instead of criticizing the leaders who created such unsafe roads. As a society we have accepted a system that creates danger for everyone not in a car.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

“good art makes you uncomfortable” some art is also absolute dogshit in its execution which is why i’m uncomfortable and the conversation should be around that instead lmao

today's hot take is that it makes no sense for a game to include an assist mode if using said mode disables achievements. "yeah you beat the boss but it doesn't count because you cheated lol" is an absurd thing for a game to say after explicitly allowing you to do so for the sake of accessibility

a friendly reminder that "republicans can't steal an election" is more akin to a religious statement than it is one actually grounded in reality. republicans *have been* stealing elections but they're scared so shitless by upcoming midterms that they no longer care if they destroy their own optics.

Fun fact, significant portions of this petition were written by black communists who spent serious time in Saint Louis to learn from the unemployment councils, city hall sit ins, union strikes, and anti-segregation protests that were disproportionately led by working class black women.

I need people to show up for fighting ID Verification laws the same way y'all hammered payment processors because they're effectively the same issue but ID Verification violates your rights & safety even more making it easier for the government to come after you & your personal info to be stolen

the queer struggle has always, will always be linked to black struggle because we can be queer too. the Civil Rights movement paved the way for gay rights to even have a chance of happening.

reminder: many states in america are stripping black people of their voting power. this WILL affect ALL queers as black americans tend to overwhelmingly vote for people with progressive agendas and values cause they tend to not attack us.

Go read this please. Rami's writing is so good and the world and characters she has created are so intriguing and engaging. Give it a look.

Five topics 1. The in universe politics of star wars and how real life influenced them 2. Warhammer 40k 3. Star wars in general (maybe doesn't count) 4. Bojack horseman 5. My mechsplo story ideas

The fetishization of Native girls and the stealing of our faces to entertain the white gaze is both historical and disgusting. Paul Gauguin was once and still is praised for doing this in his paintings, while actively sexually assaulting Tahitian children between 14-19 yrs of age.

Reinforcement of savage tropes, justifications for conquest by deeming ppl rapeable.

My latest w/ TNN! This one took a while to get out. A very lengthy interview with one of the coolest activists I've had the pleasure of meeting. I highly, highly recommend checking this one out if you want to feel a bit more hopeful about everything

I want to add that class in the U.S. is only legible among white people. Black people have been the MOST working class segment of U.S. society for decades AND YET... Black people are consistently written out of the narrative of "working class" USians.

RFK wants to enslave Black kids. No, I really don't think that's hyperbolic. @alsvid.bsky.social @missakemi.bsky.social @sunderedmarches.com

I hate how common this type of person is lmaooo ;-;

it really shouldn't be controversial to say that in matters of race white trans people are white first, just like in matters of gender cis black people are cis. i am sure there's a reason everyone is super normal to gabe when he says the first thing. can't put my finger on it though

I just found out that I forgot to list all these mechs for sale. Which might explain why they don't sell. You can now find them under mecha tag on my shop. Along with a few more (which I did NOT forget to list).

Yeah the rotisserie chicken amendment is neat! Unfortunately it was attached to the Farm Bill which locked in $187 billion in cuts to SNAP. So, yes, now SNAP can be used for rotisserie chickens but more importantly, this bill means red tape, cuts & tons of people losing access to food completely.

based on these replies and quotes, i'm glad that we all think rape is really fucking funny whenever it happens to a man. i'm glad assault, drugging, racial abuse, professional retribution, illegal surveillance, and physicals threats of violence are a big Joke depending on the audience!!!

They’re basically admitting that creating nonconsensual deepfakes of women is not an unintended outcome of this technology but rather its main selling point, which some of us recognized all along

“Intersectionality means you can’t be mean to me for actively harming people outside the imperial core”

man the overwhelming majority of trans women are impoverished and struggling to make ends meet but if you ask middle class queer honkies theyd swear up and down raytheon was staffed exclusively by trans women.

If you think a defense contractor has the same “mitigating factors” for lack of better term as the people high school recruiters prey on then you’re terminal stupid, sorry

notice how puerto rico isn't given a choice here and is assumed to vote democratic out of gratitude for their colonization and being absorbed into empire this is a perfect encapsulation of the democratic party's attitude towards minorities. we decide what you want and you thank us for it.

race functions in trans spaces mostly as a way for my fellow white transes to acknowledge it but we're not actually supposed to be on the hook for it c'mon its our birthday its not fair 🥺

American gun culture is overwhelmingly white, right-wing, and racist. It's right-wing rural whites who need protection against "tyranny," and the "tyranny" they fear is equal rights for POC and queer ppl.

I think public servants shouldn’t be allowed to drink alcohol while on the job, even if it’s nighttime and they’re still voting on a policy or law. I think normalizing alcoholism is bad, actually, especially when public servants dictate entire societies’ futures

This 10000000%. Any hypothetical first world UBI would have to be extracted through mass violence from the third world

If you start to pay attention to this you'll realize how much we're socialized to associate 'mentally ill' with 'morally reprehensible' and how eager folks are to reach for mental health vocabulary to describe issues that are fundamentally moral.

First world queers, notice who your fucking enemies are.

it's a horrible article about a horrible thing, and it is surely a reflection of some despicable cultural attitudes about women, but repeating a fake statistic that like 1 in 3 american men were interested in this is not helpful to anyone

thinking abt this bc there is currently a controversy on tiktok where people are misreading and spreading a statistic from this article, saying that 62 million men were either in or interested in a telegram chat about drugging and raping their female partners when really it was like 1000 people max

Pro tip: performative self-flagellation over being white is not a substitute for doing serious introspection about the ways you have been complicit in or rewarded by a white-supremacist society, nor doing the work to dismantle white supremacy.

zero forgiveness for fascists, they are simply attempting to escape justice

I need to do something to get my mind off this before I start spiraling.

Sometimes I hate my views on analysis or whatever of kink and all that cause I feel like I just keep ending up in spaces where I feel all I do is bring the mood down. Sometimes I wonder if Im the weird one and I should just shut up. I don't know. I hate feeling like this.

Re: 'H.R. 8250' "Parents Decide Act". This bill wants to force age verification on the operating system level. If you see one of your reps listed below, CALL THEM so we can kill this in committee www.congress.gov/members/find...

I said it before and I'll say it again: Giving a pack of Epstein associates a comprehensive list of all children in the country with home address and school listed, sortable by various traits that indicate vulnerability to exploitation, is the literal diametric opposite of keeping kids safe.

Bloody hell that is a unvarnished white supremacist techno fascist imperialist manifesto. It gross & deeply concerning that Palantir is so deeply embedded in not just the US gov't but also spreading to other countries through contracts such as with the NHS in the UK.

A lot of talk of misogyny on the left misses just how often leftist women are abused on all sides without our protection. Standing by while our comrades are attacked and slandered IS misogyny.
