Last chance for this. There's about an hour left to enter and cross your fingers for a chance to win a fab prize and help a displaced ICU doctor rebuild his home in Gaza. Good luck everyone!!!

Do you remember that time Pence tried to see Hamilton and the cast called him out. Or when McConnell was chased out of a resraurant and not allowed a peaceful meal. Or when Cruz abandoned Texas during the deep freeze and we shamed him into going home. That. Do that.

Misinfo: bad information. Disinfo: bad information circulated in order to bring about specific goals (the "d" is for "deliberate," I like to say) Counter misinfo: fact-checking Counter disinfo: debunking; is highly public, often confrontational, can appear very partisan, and makes you sound nuts

Unironically, Gamergate is the origin story for so much of the contemporary far right playbook. One of the reasons I'm convinced of Bannon's political communications genius is, he clocked that potential immediately

Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

Had my first healthcare worker refuse to mask for me. My chart is documented that I’m immune compromised & require staff to mask. The facility had a policy that if asked, staff will wear. I was told “no I need to breathe to do my job”. I stood firm & said I’m high risk and masks are required 🧵

If you're mad and find yourself yelling that you want someone launched into the Sun, take a moment, calm yourself, and remember that it takes a lot less Delta v to launch them out of the Solar System instead. You can be mad, but that's no excuse to be inefficient with propellant.

Hey, white disabled people, you can still be racist even though you’re disabled. Let’s celebrate Black people and not forget that if it weren’t for the Black Panthers, we wouldn’t have the ADA. Minorities who stick together, thrive together.

Today at the grocery store I saw about twice as many people masked up as I normally do. It was refreshing. Mask up. It's so much easier than, like, 6 months of TB treatments.

Rosa sent this pic harvesting brussel sprouts on CAs Central Coast. A machine does the picking & cuts off the stalk. It's then fed by workers into a machine that separates the sprouts. The workers on the side are cutting off the leaves to prep the next row. #WeFeedYou

It's Black History Month! Every day this month, I will be highlighting one of my favorite Black writers or authors. My list is pretty cool if I do say so myself, but I'd be remiss if I didn't start it with...my very own amazing wife, @mistymotors.net! Mercy writes for @theautopian.bsky.social!

US and UK folk, and I say this with love, PLEASE put alt-text on images especially when they are huge amounts of text relating to government fuckery (of which there is much). With both sides of the pond having a field day demonizing disabled folks, make sure everyone who needs to see the info does
