Remember when Discord tried to introduce NTFs, everyone cancelled their Nitro subscriptions until they reversed it. CANCEL YOUR NITRO and send them a feedback request. They don't care about public discourse until it hits their bottom line. support.discord.com/hc/en-us/req...

I just realized that folx who saw the Parable of the Sower quote earlier may not know about Octavia Butler's 2000 Essence essay, in which, she recommends these strategies for navigating the future she predicted after a male journalist had the audacity to misquote her! 🔥 commongood.cc/reader/a-few...

If you consider yourself a feminist, and your hatred of trans people has you aligning with rapists and sex traffickers, it's probably time to stop and figure out where you took a wrong turn!

Colorado's Rep Brittany Pettersen (D) flew cross-country with her one-month-old to vote against the GOP budget tonight. Dems ended up one vote short. Pettersen was part of an unsuccessful bipartisan push to allow new mothers to vote remotely. #copolitics

said this before and i wasn't exaggerating: RFK has the exact personality type of the kind of person that, in a different sort of regime, oversees mass starvation.

one of the most effective things that can be done to remove musk from power and break the republican party is destabilize and destroy tesla's market position, because wrecking tesla's largest shareholder means wrecking the republican party's primary financier

This makes tomorrow a great opportunity to call your elected officials and ask if they have a plan for if Trump defies the Supreme Court. And also a great opportunity to make sure you're plugged in with the networks where you'll find out protests are starting in your area. (Scripts for the former)

Minding my business. Tired but full of satisfaction of having put the baby to sleep without a noise complaint from the neighbors. Checking skyline... WHY IS MY FEED FULL OF HOBI LIFTING WEIGHTS IN GREY SWEAT SHORTS?

For the first time in several days my baby is actually napping 😭 I would like to thank: God, Jesus, and the Saints, as this is surely divine intervention My husband, for making the bottle that helped her stay asleep My boobs, for being comfy af My baby, for taking her tiny foot off my neck

the movie barons of yesteryear saw themselves as heirs to Lorenzo medici- a total asshole who was a major patron of the arts and remembered for it. Today's wannabe robber barons are far more interested in being the heirs to Cecil Rhodes

The reason they use thinly veiled euphemism for racial sterilization is that the press will run the thinly veiled euphemism and never have the temerity to come out and say they’re pushing for the mass extermination of Black people through sterilization.

As I said the last time there was a big “support independent media” push the Black press should absolutely be a part of that push.

This is the goal right? It’s to delegitimize and defang courts and destroy government services so that every aspect of American life has to be approved by rich guys on their whims. What they’re doing to government employees right now is what they want to do to all of us.

Every baby developmental stage has 3-4 days* where you get to feel like you have a handle on this whole parenting thing, right before the entire stage starts. *This is to lull you into a false sense of security. One day could be a fluke. Three days feels like a pattern to your tired brain.

BIG Up Kate Bush and the other musicians who stepped up like this. I was surprised at the amount of creatives who didn’t realise that this affects ALL OF US!

i firmly believe one of the main messages we should be telling our students about this whole thing is that generative ‘AI’ by definition will never have an original idea, and if you use it, neither will you

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

I think the time has come for us to actively adopt the law that if you can't tell whether a techbro is saying something from stupidity or malice, assume it comes from a place of malice. He just wants everyone dependent on his brand and doesnt give a shit about logistics, they don't affect him

They hate Black people and we tried to tell you And as someone they’ve singled out personally for years and apparently enjoy that I’m struggling Until folks fix that they are getting what they deserve The problem is it’s affecting almost none of the people who made the racist choices

The reason it's really important to leave substack NOW is their relatively new social networking features. Substack is creating a walled garden that you have to share with white supremacists. They want to keep you on substack where all the Nazis are and force you to share your revenue with them.
