Why does 25% AfD among young men spark a thousand "what is going on with young men?" posts yet Die Linke 34% among young women generates...nothing at all? Yes, young men voting for the radical right is an important phenomenon. But so is young women going rad left *at even higher rates*.

Leonard Peltier has made it to North Dakota! The temperatures are bitter cold today, but our hearts and spirits are on FIRE for our Elder and Leksi (Uncle) Leonard. ❤️‍🔥 Read our press release for more about Leonard's welcome home event tomorrow ndnco.cc/lphomepr

looking back, AOL had it right. 30 hours of internet per month was the right amount.

Kendrick Lamar deserves to win the very first Nobel Hate Prize

Can't believe the amount of heat we used to get for downloading an mp3 when every tech company is downloading the sum total of human expression to sell a scromited version back to us

Praying that the new Fantastic Four movie has this exact scene by @neilaglet.bsky.social in it, beat for beat.

SPEAKING of under-acknowledged influences, if you watch "Night of the Comet" (1984) about two quippy teen girls brawling with zombies in post-apocalyptic LA, you will instantly understand at least 80% of the DNA for "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"

I wonder if there were woke Cardassians, doomscrolling through the Dominion War

"What tf is all this and why should I care" we said in 1999, little knowing that Padme Amidala would be the prophet of our times

Queers have feasts in our history and banquets in our closet. Keep your scraps.

Tiny Baby has been running around the house today saying "oh no". Which means he's doing as much as the average democratic elected officials.

Just gonna put this out there: if you are a queer author, especially trans authors, who has only published in digital format and you need help getting a print version, hit me up. I will do typesetting, I will make you a serviceable print cover based on your ebook cover, and I will get you set up on

If you are in danger unless you comply with a regime, you are in danger whether you comply or not

If you feel despair, if you feel defeated, if you catch yourself dissociating or focusing on what our oppressors are doing rather than on what you can do yourself—that is territory that the enemy has claimed within you. Give them nothing. Focus on your agency. We are in a fight that we can win. 🏴🏴🏴

It actually is very important that you do things that you take pleasure in, regularly. That is part of how you survive the things that feel like they are going to destroy you.

Hey everyone! Incredible news! Trans Scouts selling GS cookies this year on my list have sold over 50,000 boxes of GS cookies! If you want girl scout cookies, consider buying from a trans girl scout this year! They'll mail them to you! This is literally my fav thing to do every year :)

he'd be in jail in germany. anybody seriously playing this game is an enemy and an opp. but if you're wondering if it was a nazi salute maybe the thick pack of nazi policies surrounding it on all sides will give you some context clues

Remember, y’all: We are only sharing MLK quotes today that make people uncomfortable. Palatable Martin is retired until at least 2029.

For Sunday, a thread on great Jewish-American novelist and playwright Ira Levin (1929-2007). 1/8

found on r/me_irlgbt, seemed relevant. stay strong. i love you all.

It says so much about North American culture that telling people "I mask because Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome puts me at a higher risk for Long COVID" gets sympathetic nods but telling them "I mask because I care about disabled people's wellbeing" gets an eye roll.

I can’t believe TikTok is basically our Reichstag

ICYMI— @GovBillLee’s special session proclamation where he ties vouchers to hurricane relief aid so he can ram it through👇🏽 He also includes immigration & now transpo Why even have regular session at all? Hell, why even have a legislature? Just let Sexton & Lee write the laws

thats ok im already fluent in anxiety

People need to stop using masks as a political football. The reality is that climate change and pandemics are here to stay and increasing in threat. We need to help people protect themselves and their communities by raising awareness about best practices and distributing high quality masks for free.

With so much terrible news going around, I thought it might be nice to share more terrible news, but of a personal, inconsequential nature: Ate too much Sichuan Chili Crisp last night and now I'm waiting for my stomach to settle before I can take a shower & go to work. Worth it.

These 1,000 men and women are heroes.

Do me a kindness! Share this if you love and support your local library & librarians (and remember: that includes your school library & school librarian) 😊📚 Thank you libraries & library workers… for everything ✨💚

The Eaton fires destroyed a youth care facility my friend worked at. They had no time to pack, and everything is lost. Please help support them if you can. These children and teen were ALREADY vulnerable before the fires. www.gofundme.com/f/provide-ai...

Anita Bryant isn't going to see your hurtful posts and jokes about her death but your friends who enjoy them will so that's what they call a win-win situation

A 67 year old amputee and wheelchair user lived with his son who had cerebral palsy. They were killed in the Eaton fire while waiting for an ambulance that never arrived. Many disabled people can not evacuate on their own. They need to be included in evacuation plans (yet almost never are)

Me: wow I'm writing good stuff in this novel tonight, I think I'll just keep on trucking My brain: dude it's 11pm and we're old, wrap it up Me: come on I used to do all nighters all the time Brain: you used to do handsprings too, until that last time Knees: yeah fuck you for that, by the way

Also - please spend time deciding how you are going to engage with the content this administration and the complicit media are going to be putting out from here on out. Our nervous systems are precious resources and keeping them in a hyper-reactive state is BAD-real bad. We need to be intentional.

here come old laptop he come bootin up slowly he got broken touchpad he need one more update he got no space on this pc one thing i can tell you its got no warranty

Private company buys a public good. A few years go by and the company decides the public good is no longer worthwhile; the public suffers as a result. This story arc is way too common in modern society. deadline.com/2024/12/max-...

Please tell me who first posted this so I can properly credit, bc it made me laugh hard this morning

Solidarity with all trans brothers and sisters today. That your future is yours is cold comfort when the state has you targeted but for whatever it’s worth we stand with you

Here is Trump’s nominee for FBI Director Kash Patel calling for “offensive operations” to jail Americans who they consider “the enemy.” “We will go out and find the conspirators... Yes, we are going to come after the people in the media."

Saw this and had to repost. <3 Credit to Marpal Embroidery for the work!

Kind of weird seeing people who were on twitter still using the "how are you going to change people's minds if you block them?" argument here. If that worked you'd still be on twitter instead of, oh, here.

TRANS PEOPLE!! YOU DESERVE TO BE HERE. To take up space, to live, to love, to THRIVE. No law, no hate, no force can erase the beauty of your existence. Keep fighting for every breath, you are WORTH IT. 🌟💪

somewhere in the vastness of the universe there is a theatrical rapping drag queen named Anna Kendrick Lamar

Me: I cleared the table for dessert. Her: Why did you leave these cranberries out? Me: DON’T TOUCH THEM!!! Her: What…Why??? Me: You have to let them linger.

Wouldn't it be ironic if the American comics industry was destroyed not by "woke garbage" but by useless tariffs? That is a REAL possibility. Printing comics in America would send prices soaring to consumers and kill comics shops - everyone would go digital, forever changing US comics publishing
