I don't like the narrative that "fascism always loses". It implies that the natural state of the world is good, and that we do not need to actively work to bring about that good. It gives people an excuse to do nothing because, surely, fascism will lose. but it won't. Not unless we actively fight it

Your weather app gets its info because of NOAA. Your mail arrives at your home because of USPS. Your plane navigates the skies because of the FAA. Your food is safer -- and we get alerts when it isn't -- because of USDA. You hear about earthquakes worldwide because of USGS.

Keep destroying. Keep making good trouble. Make them waste enough money on this pointless bullshit and they'll acquiesce. Keep fighting.

Gang, at this point I’m too disillusioned to expect all of you to mask always (even though you should), but for the love of GOD, please at least mask at airports and on planes when you travel to events!!!

at a time when everything makes me want to constantly disassociate and just yeet out of my body, the challenge is to stay present and grounded. it’s not easy, but being mindful about it is the first step. resist the urge to shut down and lose hope bc that’s what they want. persistence is resistance.

People, if you think you have the flu, get a COVID test. We're still in the Pandemic. It never ended because we didn't let it. If you are sick, stay home. Don't risk further spreading this thing. I'm not out here trying to almost die again.

Criticizing people who don't use ALT: increases toxicity in your community, ignores people with disability, does not help the blind Sharing ALT text in comments or quotes: gently reminds users to use ALT text, adds it for the people who use it, makes a positive change, helps people with low spoons

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as allude to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

Yes, people dislike wearing face masks but reality is that with all the viruses circulating (COVID, bird flu, regular flu, RSV) you can choose to be a little uncomfortable wearing a mask in public -or- you can choose to be sick constantly. That's what our options are really coming down to.
