AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Mamdani's victory is a reminder that "fuck that guy in particular" can and does work as a political strategy. Cuomo's likeness to Trump was a non-trivial factor in his loss. But the fact that ranked choice voting allowed for a genuinely democratic popular front to form was equally important.

i've been friends with rosemary for years now,and she and her chosen family are amazing people. please help them if you can. thank you!

Sometimes PTSD with dissociative amnesia means emotional flashbacks and not knowing why. Just something about that song playing reminded some part of my brain about some other song, and that song is connected to some repressed memory that makes me feel icky to even get close to.

Hydrate. Like, right now. By the time you feel thirsty, your body is already dehydrated. Go get a drink. I'll wait. #FaerieGodmother

This is not okay!

Me, checking in with my to do list and my bodymind on what to do next: brain's off. hmmm, so no more mental tasks. yea, brain's done. okay, but we can get some cleaning done later? body's off. oh... shit. okay we're done today, then.

I cannot believe you would make a post like this that has no direct relation to me or my life in any way and that you would put it out on the public internet for me, specifically, to see and not relate to.

dont measure your self-worth in accordance with your productivity or "success" everyone's journey is different and your time will come except for me. i have to be really hard on myself otherwise im a waste of time, space, and energy.

AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

indistinguishable from right wing christian pastors talking about "biblical masculinity" tbqh

Defensiveness is a normal emotional reaction. BUT if you hold a position of privilege in a conversation about systemic harm - it is your job to sit with that discomfort and regulate your emotions so that you can listen to the hurt, anger, and pain. If you cannot do that - you need to walk away.

Marginalized people have the right to be angry right now. Stop personalizing it and step back to let them rage. It's not about you.

Despite the headline, mixed ruling by a Federal judge in the Anthropic AI lawsuit. Judge ruled using books to train the company's AI didn't violate copyright laws bc it fell under fair use by being "exceedingly transformative." I disagree with this interpretation. 1/ www.reuters.com/legal/litiga...

I don't think we talk enough about how dignity is also a human right. Food, water, shelter, education, health care, representation...all of those are human rights that everyone should receive regardless of who they are. But it's also a right to not have to beg for them.

Time for another big thread about my household and our needs and how amazing my chosen family is. We're gonna focus on Angie today because last month we focused on Dave (see next tweet for link to that one). #MutualAid #CrowdFund 💕💸 gofund.me/3d714c95

This would be so funny if it wasn't also so sad and scary. "I'm not aware, but I'm not surprised." "Okay..." "80 billion. A year" "Did you say million or billion?" "Billion ... with a B." "I did that? How did that happen?" "I'd be happy to show you..." Just put AOC in charge of everything.

You’ll occasionally see me re-posting Syreeta’s work and posts We met early in Covid. She was presenting the latest research, showing that folx with intellectual disabilities are at especially high risk for infection. Vital information. She is now in grad school, continuing to study public health.

Im sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahmed. Ahmed and his wife Rula have two small daughters, Nour, 4 and Tin, 2. Ahmed has just started his first fundraiser because after losing his home and being displaced many times his children are starving and his family needs help.
