There are no distractions. It's all bad. Systematically stripping trans people of their rights, guys in balaclavas shoving any brown person with a tattoo into a ummarked vans, ending healthcare for millions. It's all in service of fascism and technofeudalism. It's all one thing. That's the point.

Fun fact: in the 1960s, Civil Rights protestors were given literal classes on nonviolent protest; they didn't all just spontaneously know what to do. So, if you're planning on showing up, this weekend: read this comic. And if you're staying home, signal-boost it/link it around.

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

Collective griping about bad generic versions of drugs in the other thread made me realize it's been a while since the PSA: if your pharmacy switches which manufacturer they use to supply a generic drug, and the drug works differently or doesn't work, file an adverse effects report with the FDA.

The LA Times is owned and run by billionaire Patrick Soon-Shiong, who really is the kind of evil big-pharma businessman the grifters would like us to think everyone involved with health sciences is.

This is a really important point, I think. People who've kind of sauntered through life never having faced a consequence for shit work or lazy, broken output seem to overlap 100% with the people who see generative text / image tools as the most "useful". They have no connection w/ failure.

It’s like when I asked my students in class today to supply me with the masculine version of a “spinster” and the best they could come up with is “bachelor.” (It was a tangent to a conversation.) Men get to be liberated of norms, women are labeled by their inability to meet them.

Boosting, with a note that I’ve seen a number of debunkings of things that spread on social media in the last week alone. These tools are only useful if we keep the information we share accurate. Stay safe out there.

Just a reminder to all small vendors/businesses: Fuck StickerMule. Do not use them. The CEO is 1000% MAGA and has been for a looooong time. Like HobbyLobby or Uline levels of Do Not Use.

It’s the fool who thinks folklore is merely tales for children. The fool as well who thinks most lore is only pale misremembering of history. For folklore is a living conversation between yesterday and tomorrow, between people and place. It is an ark of shared wisdom. - #CLNolan #FolkloreSunday

The Syrian Arabic word for a hamster is أبو جراب (abu jrab), where jrab refers to a pouch/saddlebag/tote. And abu often means “father of,” but can also function as a general honorific (like “mister”). So it’s not too big a stretch to say the Syrian Arabic word for a hamster means “Mister Saddlebags”
