Lander is saying the most basic, correct things—“Do you have a judicial warrant? … I will let go when you show me a judicial warrant … you don’t have the authority to arrest US citizens. I am not obstructing”—and yet or maybe because of this he is detained, too.

I have spoken to rooms full of nondisabled people and heard this ripple of tense laughter. I have told my own story of flipping a car on black ice and people straight up told me they would just drive more carefully. They can’t handle the idea that you can’t wellness and responsibility your way out.

If a pregnant woman is brain dead, in a coma, and no longer has rights to make decisions about the pregnancy according to E. Bruenig, that means we don’t have a say in what happens to our organs and corpses after we die. We are public property upon death. Quite an argument!

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

I just want 'ai' to go away. The simultaneous widespread poisoning of knowledge; attempt to end-run professions that cultivate critical thinking; and sucking the joy out of everything while ramming unwanted technology down our throats is so exhausting. I just can't anymore.

Cuomo doesn’t just get to rehabilitate himself from sexual harassment because he’s rich and powerful. He gets to because he’s a man. It’s the same situation for everyday, ordinary men, while women from all walks of life are not just denied justice but punished for asking for it

Hmmm I wonder what parenting methods the Minnesota assassin used on his five children that he homeschooled as a way to keep them “safe” from the secular world

Still thinking about how someone I went on a couple disastrous dates with got thrown out of a local mutual aid org and in response haughtily told the org they’d just lost ALL their diversity… because they, a white person! grew up in Bulgaria as a CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY💀

Next time a publication publishes a piece about "ideological diversity" simply google if they have any trans writers or editors on staff (they don't)

I was once again reminded today of how much I enjoy being around people who give grace to others and who just want to make things better for themselves and their communities. No posturing, no pontificating, just wanting to figure out how to be with each other and what to DO.

Today I learned my husband’s “hear me out” is Thing from The Addams Family. Gotta hand it to him, this IS the first one that’s ever gotten a real reaction out of me.

This reads as if someone prompted ChatGPT to write a statement that superficially sounds strong but is substantively very weak. Who might have caused this? Who are the extremists? ? Who needs to take responsibility? All of that remains unstated!

We know that domestic violence is an indicator of public violence. Evangelicals are massively violent inside their own homes. Child abuse is a required part of their theology.

It is that fateful week where I have run out of hand soap, body wash, both my facial cleansers, hand lotion, shaving cream, razor cartridges, and toilet paper all at once. Just had to restock laundry detergent too. Farewell to having money in my bank account!

And this is why your disabled brothers and sisters are not there. Everyone protesting should be wearing a mask to protect everyone. If you all wore masks they couldn’t arrest all of you. Obviously not directed at Erin. Her comment her is spot on. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The number of fucking times “there’s a carve-out for medical use” has been thrown at me by ableds trying to justify mask bans…. We literally fucking told you REPEATEDLY that was bullshit. And now we’re watching medical maskers get arrested. EXACTLY WHAT WE TOLD YOU WOULD HAPPEN.

Mask ban legislation is popping up all over the U.S. and this is exactly why you should oppose it, even when lawmakers add in “exceptions” for medical masks. You know who gets to decide whether your mask qualifies as medical? Cops. And I promise you they don’t give a shit

This is everywhere. Every academic institution I know is held together by some exhausted woman in her early 40's who waits until the old white male professors have finished their vague rants and says, "alright, so concretely can I propose the following next steps..." She makes half their salary.

Anyway, my dad (who has always been a literal recluse) is now obsessed with LLMs and my mom talks about how he doesn’t leave his office all weekend because he’s “talking to [AI]” as if it’s endearing and not cause for significant concern!

Elevate the voices of people who have been talking about the violence of the Rightwing for decades. Those are the folks who know what they are talking about.

The decline of the wedding is fascinating to me. I have been to 4 weddings in adulthood and all 4 were well under 50 guests, 3 of the 4 casual backyard affairs. Many of my friends are married! They just don’t do a party. It’s partly being poor, but that’s not ALL it is, I don’t think.

The haters said it couldn't be done. The haters said we would never succeed. And the haters were completely right, but we still think they were pretty rude about it.

Most Zionists aren't even Jewish, a fact that gets glossed over when critics of Zionism get called "antisemitic" almost kneejerk by MSM mediocrities Christian Zionists 'support' for Israel is support in the same way the noose supports the hanged man

bluesky's problem with people who are unable or unwilling to recognize a joke is really just a twitter problem bluesky hasn't solved. look at the replies to this tweet.

I feel like to write about Bluesky authoritatively you need to have logged at least a hundred hours on here. A lot of the critiques I’m reading seem based off the top of their Discover page and they’re describing something that isn’t what the platform is like for its most active users

Yeah Bluesky is missing a lot of the pop culture discourse on X but also that discourse has veered into things like whether slut-shaming Sabrina Carpenter is feminism. And also the thought leaders are teenagers
