it's important to state two fundamental truths: no one, not even the worst piece of shit, deserves to die because they can't afford insulin. conversely, no matter how generous and moral and kind you are, if you buy a cybertruck and then it explodes and kills you, it's always funny

this attitude isn't new either, they've been doing it for years towards anyone who commits the apparently unforgivable crime of living in a red state. i suspect the venn diagram of people who say shit like this and laugh at florida getting decimated by hurricanes is close to a circle.

kash patel undermining elon musk is kind of funny i'm ngl

VOLITION - No. Not a disaster. Weave this into the story of you. Walk out of its *ruins*. Save those who still can be saved -- *I'm* on your side.

Really enjoying the stories about congressmen getting yelled at about DOGE shit in their town halls. Not because I feel like it's necessarily going to move things in the right direction in the next election cycle or two, really. I just like stories about congressmen getting yelled at I think.

Motion to remove gender from government ID altogether. It's none of their fucking business.

LC gave one day's notice to change the subject heading to "Gulf of America" but its own country code for Zimbabwe still references the white supremacist-run Rhodesia, which gained internationally-recognized independence as Zimbabwe in... 1980

I talked with Live Like the World is Dying host @margaret.bsky.social about preparedness, collective survival, and challenging ourselves "to let people be better."

If Patel’s confirmation scares you and you’re worried about the FBI being used to wage war and terrorize American citizens, just ask Black people for advice, they’ve been dealing with it for decades

drugs have taken too many beloved celebrities from us over the years but drugs also have a rare chance right now to radically rehabilitate their image

saying this as someone who's been a dedicated hater of her for years i don't rly trust dudes pointing and laughing at grimes right now

He is one of the worst people to ever live but I’m sorry this is very funny www.vanityfair.com/news/story/o...

One of the people who runs the shower side of the shower pop up my free clothes closet is at, Deeq, needs dental help. He is genuinely one of the best souls I know. He runs the kids' programming, does Somali translation, organizes the food shelf... And he needs community right now. 💕💸

School play gets canceled for "inappropriate content". In response students write [REDACTED], their own anti-censorship play skewering the school district, sells out performances, and ultimately takes gold at the Lenaea High School Theatre Festival. www.kqed.org/arts/1397192...

BREAKING: Indigenous activist Leonard Peltier released from prison after nearly 50 years

very cool to have my first major professional conference in en entirely different part of the country in six weeks, particularly because both my employer and the conference itself have financially invested in me going and thus there is very little recourse for me to refuse getting on a plane for it

everyone who told me a credit freeze was easy lied this shit is an absolute nightmare

A fundraiser for the family of Sam Nordquist, may his memory be a blessing. We can at least give them some small comfort, in this terrible time. www.gofundme.com/f/urgent-hel...

hey y'all, so i feel very weird about this, but i have been exploring my options regarding moving to a more trans-friendly state where i have some roots and have realized i simply Do Not have the funds to weather it. as such, i'm hoping to raise some funds for emergency savings: gofund.me/2debd0d0

we're just about out of cat food, have so many bills (many of them past due or almost past due), & my platonic partner (the breadwinner) had to take this last week off to deal with chronic pain and being massively triggered by what was supposed to be a helpful somatic intervention. pls help? 💕💸

if you have any amount of money to help a trans artist (vee) with rent and immediate essentials, see codes below URGENT she was just outed as trans and now can't get local work vee needs $800 within the month please contribute and repost if you can

Y'all gotta get comfortable talking about pornography and defending its right to exist and for people to look at it, even if you don't (but especially if you DO).

We won’t disappear just because you change a website.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

"One camera also points at a self-described “free social center” with a community library that holds events drawing hundreds of Atlantans, including readings, concerts and food giveaways." Reminder that Atlanta is a blue city with a dem mayor when you want to vote your way out of everything :)

this is a very minor gripe in the face of things, but can we stop acting like less teeth means you are less intelligent when the reality is it just means you have less money?

I get the sentiment behind these kinds of posts, but I really wish folks would stop doing this. Librarians are not superheroes. We are not the last stand for democracy. Please stop putting us on a pedestal.

We're expediting sex designation change requests on birth certificates. People born in WA who want to change the sex designation on their birth certificate can do so by filing a request with us. . doh.wa.gov/DesignationC...

i really wish people wouldn't write/share articles of trans suicides that have the fucking method in the title jfc

i don't think i realized how upset i was by the cdc website being purged ngl seeing that shit restored has me emotional

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.

Look I agree that Elon Musk appears to be on a lot of drugs every time he appears in public. That's not very interesting to me. I'm more interested in how many drugs he can do at once. I think he could probably do more than anyone ever. I bet he could take way more than the doctors say is safe.
