The requirement to be politically neutral for my job makes it very difficult on election days. I just want to talk about everything!

I mean all the other issues aside, but isn't getting a visa and going through customs "registering with the federal government?" What more would anyone do?

Always good on Appomattox day to remember that Robert E. Lee was a vile human being whose historical portayal as a reluctant defender of slavery is based on complete fabrication. He was a committed white supremacist who believed slavery reflected a natural order and commanded his army as such.

I’m just so fucking disappointed in everyone who didn’t give a shit about what putting a fascist in power would actually mean, and don’t click on the link, because I’m including the NYT in that.

FDR once bragged to a massive crowd at Madison Square Garden that the richest people in the nation hated him and “I welcome their hatred.” Just weeks later, he was re-elected with 61% of the vote in a 523-8 blowout in the Electoral College. Voters *like* politicians who make the right enemies.

Always remember they're going after trans people not because trans people became too public, not because trans people asked for too much, not because trans people had too many genders, not because trans people were annoying online. They're going after trans people because they lost to gay people.

Brilliant protest. Yosemite National Park workers hung an upside-down American flag — traditionally a symbol of distress or a national threat — thousands of feet off the ground on the side of El Capitan.

people who say “why do we need [fine arts, humanities degrees, mid-budget films] when they don’t make a ton of money?” are insufferable. why do we need chrysanthemums? why do we need bonfires or baleen whales or the color blue? we just do. we just do.

it's very weird to live under authoritarianism as just a random person and have the mad king and his scheming vizier's every passing thought fully available to us because they are mass broadcasting all of them as posts because they are addicted to posts

A Friday reminder that having your book banned doesn't sell books. Only THE MOST banned books see support, and I assure you all those creators would prefer their books were NOT banned instead. There's no silver lining. It's just the knowledge that ppl hate you! Ok have a good weekend
