Sadly the current right-wing coalition government in Finland has cut the funding for the nation’s “Housing First” success story, & homelessness is now on the rise again. That just reinforces the fact that such programs work, if political ideology doesn’t stand in the way. ysaatio.fi/en/news/home...

Casual ableism and body shaming are rampant in "left" spaces.

He's just mad bc he didn't realize we are both radicalized and radical, and he can't do sick kick-flips like so many dolls can.

Like what, being afraid of all the blinding awesomeness?

Mmhm. And the minute they get anything but positive feedback, they're writing thinkpieces about how Big Mean Trans (as if we are a gestalt entity) has destroyed leftism forever and is chasing all men forever into the arms of fascism.

There is a particular kind of fragile leftist - not only always cis dudes, but gosh, an awful lot of them are - who are only VERY LEFTIST as long as they're receiving praise, only praise, all the time praise.
The second they're told, "bud, you're being an asshole," hooooo boy.

I encourage anyone affected by bad behaviour in the church to contact their local safeguarding team or go to: www.safespacesenglandandwales.org.uk
And if you're affected by stalking and are in the UK you may find it helpful to go to www.suzylamplugh.org for help and advice.

I've been through some pretty horrible online harassment myself, and... it really fucks with your sense of feeling safe in your own home.
I'm sorry, and I hope you can find some peace and clarity in the wake of this.

I am... really terrified of the Medicaid cuts.
Every time I call my reps, I remind them that if I lose my meds, I *will* die, within a year or two, and it'll hurt incredibly the entire time I'm dying... and I *will* make that everybody's fucking problem.
I'm too goddamned busy to leave this earth.

I don't really go in for mocking people's bodies, thanks.

How do you "swing WAY left" and not understand mutual aid and trans people asking for help online? Did you start swinging WAY left *yesterday?*

If you're management, maybe
If you have certain skills from a small specific set, maybe
In general, no
They're trying to move most people back to offices
That means even places with wfh policies don't have them for new starts

Doomerism is a form of complying in advance.

That's why it's being fought in court & ppl were rushing to fix docs ahead of time.
Fucking knock it off, man. It's *exhausting.*

You need to hear it from people directly affected?
Sure.
My wife can't fix her gender on her passport bc she couldn't get her docs together in time.
Nobody could have stopped that from happening no matter who got confirmed. That wasn't a winnable battle at that time.

H/T @sharonk.bsky.social: Republicans decided to keep the Medicaid and CHIP ban on gender-affirming care for transgender people in the bill as well as the legal characterization of "male" and "female."
