I was not taught how to write an email. I learned through practice & observing codes of professionalism in emails sent to me & adopting my own standard of professionalism that seemed to align so I can communicate effectiely in that format. Probably in high school & college I learned.

Explaining to my kids when they're old enough that sometimes fanart is of pregnant trans men, which is real, and sometimes it's mpreg, which is imaginary. That these are completely different concepts in practice

it's the two year anniversary of the raid of the Weelaunee Forest that led to 23 domestic terrorism arrests and eventually the RICO charges. no one has even gone to trial yet. nothing deep to say, just that I still believe these prosecutions will fail, and the people will win

The sheer volume of cognitive dissonance is amazing, but “her husband [who is profoundly misogynist] is perfectly comfortable with her being the primary breadwinner” is AHmazing. Girl, I’m sure he is. His bread is buttered on all sides.

'Procrastinate' literally means “having been put forward til tomorrow.” ‘pro’ (“forward”) + ‘crastinus’ (“of tomorrow”) We meant to post this weeks ago.

You should not take the bait and make empathy an object of debate anyone who says that we need to get rid of empathy is someone you do not debate with, it is someone you ignore or, if that isn't possible, you destroy. Simple as.

Today, two water desalination plants in Gaza were shut down because Israel cut off their electricity. I’m not sure if people truly understand what this means, but this is a catastrophe. We in Gaza won’t be able to survive much longer!

AI images of Dr. King are disgusting. All AI images are disgusting but the way y’all are using him in them is particularly disturbing. I recall Dr. Bernice King asking for the AI images to stop and people were like “well it’s not really that bad”…He’s her dad. She asked that regarding her dad.

I'm anti-image AI anyway but especially when it comes to reimagining Black histories and trying to imagine Black futures. The data is inherently racist so what you get might look all nice and pretty but it's built out of harmful information. A certain Audre Lorde quote springs to mind.

I'm not sure people understand what's happening. Israel stopped all aid trucks from entering Gaza until Hamas agrees to sign a rewrite of the original ceasefire agreement, which will allow Israel to continue the war indefinitely...and the whole world is quiet about it www.cnn.com/2025/03/03/m...

I wish StoryGraph had an “intentionally lollygagging” in addition to the “currently reading” status because if I’m enjoying a book too much, we need to spend a looooong time together. I took almost 3 years to finish Ann Leckie’s Imperial Radch trilogy and even that was too quick.

CW police brutality to disabled people As we see calls for civil disobedience ramp up again, I want to remind folks that 50% of excessive force deaths in police custody are disabled people. There is a misapprehension that cops are hesitant to harm disabled folks. That is not true.

And to be so very clear, JKR has openly stated that the money she makes from Harry Potter (in all its forms, right now) goes directly to conservative and specifically anti-trans causes. Do not financially engage with Harry Potter. Don't even engage with it for free. It's a Faustian IP, do not.

Parents should treat their children right or expect to get dumped at some point. Grown ass adults can change their mind about any vow of "till death do us part" & children don't get to decide to whom that tacit but thoroughly expected vow is made when it comes to blood family.

In 1987, outraged by the government's mismanagement of the AIDS crisis, ACT UP – AIDS Coalition To Unleash Power – was formed by activists who perceived orgs like the Gay Men’s Health Crisis to be politically impotent, and who wanted a new approach: radical, direct, nonviolent political action. /1

On #WeirdPride day please remember: stim freely Your CNS regulation is more important than what someone thinks about how it looks. There are ways to accommodate any* stims safely, you just have to want to accommodate & think creatively. Hopefully you have enough privilege for the resource you need.
