Hey, did you know there's an alternative to ChatGPT that makes sense economically and doesn't destroy the environment? It's called English majors and they will happily fix all of your documents for the low price of health insurance and a living wage.

Wild to watch the ghouls on Fox talk themselves into frenzied circles until they wind up making the case for pronouns. “You’re shifting the burden of guessing your gender onto me! How am I supposed to look at you and know?” If only we were allowed to tell you our pronouns, you goddamn potatoes

If you are feeling overwhelmed by what to do right now I absolutely and always recommend @5calls.org. Pick the issue you're feeling fucking insane about and give your reps a call.

Friends, I know you're excited to try protesting, but under no circumstances should you ever sign up to attend one. I'm suspicious of any org asking people to put their name on a list that is easily accessible via warrant or may even be public. You can just show up day of.

Is now a good time to say that people convicted of crimes deserve rights, due process, and not to be deported, let alone to a third country slave prison

I think some in the Senate have convinced themselves that the backlash to folding will be limited to “the left” and therefore ignorable. Those people are deeply and profoundly misreading the moment and the stakes. Virtually every swing district House Dem walked the plank to vote NO for a reason.

The books they want banned are not porn. They teach children about their bodies, body autonomy, and how not to get groomed. They teach children how not to be sexualized by people in positions of power and authority. Why are those the ones they want banned the most? 🤔🤔🤔

I’ve forgotten how to post on social media, but I HAVE A BOOK OUT TODAY. I wrote it with my friend. It’s a queer story about f/nb friends-to-lovers in a fantastical world, walking out of harmful systems together, and also kissing in a greenhouse. I hope folks find it who could use a book like that 🌱
