by the way these are literally the exact same dumbass motherfuckers, not like them, the literal exact same fucking guys, saying government is inefficient and you should cancel it to give them all the governments money so they can provide you services instead

Having been raised by a parent who is utterly incapable of self-reflection, I learned the hard way that being unable to self-reflect (even just in your personal life) is a huge red flag. And the universe just keeps confirming the importance of that lesson as time goes on

Amidst all of the terrible things that are happening, and there are a lot of them, I’m proud of my city for voting to tax the rich to pay for social housing

It’s probably a good idea for anyone who pets outdoor cats that don’t belong to them to stop. There are now confirmed cases of pet cat to human bird flu transmission. And also the other way around.

The takeover of Twitter was a preview of what we're all living with now and a stark example of why you can't let any one person have too much money: they go insane and make themselves everybody's problem

Seattle, if you haven’t yet, please go turn in your ballot and vote YES on Proposition 1, and choose Prop 1A. We voted for social housing in 2023. Don’t let our city leaders and Amazon undermine our demands. My latest for @soseaemerald.bsky.social! southseattleemerald.org/voices/2025/...

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

Sara Nelson understands that she and her conservative cronies would not stand a chance running in even years. Her efforts to keep local election turnout low should be shamed just like we do when Republicans try to suppress the vote.

Kind of weird how much we've separated egg prices from the h5n1 virus. Like we get that's why eggs are expensive? Because we've failed to contain it and farmers have had to cull large amounts of chickens leading to a reduction in production?

Also, this gets said a lot for creative texts, but it is absolutely true for technical texts as well (especially if you actually care about the quality of the translation you are producing)

editing a machine translated text is pure drudgery and takes more energy than actually just translating from scratch. Let the machines edit if they're so clever (they are not)

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

And here's another reason to hire professional translators! Recent research shows that low-quality translations, those with errors, lead to longer reading times (i.e., waste readers’ time) compared to high-quality translations. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
