sometimes i forget trump is the president for like a couple hours because i'm thinking about something else and every single time i remember it's like GAH! it's like a jump scare

duck you

A massive study of 50,000 households over 1,000 archaeological sites provides ample evidence that inequality is not a "natural" outgrowth of sophistication. Instead, it is a political choice. Which means, kids, that we don't have to choose it. archaeologymag.com/2025/04/stud...

This moment when the penny drops that trying to implement bathroom bans is an impossibility for the former Tory Chief Secretary Simon Clarke is delicious.

We decided to watch “School of Rock” last night because it has “Minecraft Steve in it” (I know…It is what it is) and I decided to google a bit and, yall, the little singer girl just got married to the big security guard boy /in real life/. She’s a OBGYN sonographer and he’s a music industry lawyer.

If we make it out of this we have to agree that we are all going to stop pretending that MBAs have any special skills whatsoever

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

Hi I used to work at Starbucks customer service: if you call or email about this, they are absolutely tracking those numbers, and a sufficient amount of public pushback does make them rethink shit sometimes, so now would be an EXCELLENT time to let them know they’re being ableist shitheads

FWIW, we've been studying the nationalist pronatalism push for several years now. And it's powerfully driven by what you'd expect: patriarchal gender ideology, perceptions that Whites & Christians are under threat, & Christian nationalism. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Last week, DHS and Secretary Noem's staff and spokespeople suggested that because Mr. Abrego Garcia had $1,100 in cash on him when arrested outside Home Depot seeking day labor, that was strong evidence that he was a member of MS-13. I guess that raises a similar question about her $3,000.

big tech is litrally destroying everything

Kill me

I wrote about my own complicated, expensive immigration visa application for Vox in 2019, and I still hear from people about how it is one of the very few in-depth articles about the immigration process not written by a law firm: www.vox.com/the-goods/20...

I was literally just teaching my philosophy of tech and disability class about neurodivergence, neurodiversity, and Autism in particular, yesterday, talking about all that in context with various eugenicist policies through history. This right here is gonna blow their minds (I know it did mine O_o).

Ok so yeah, this has quickly become the #1 misunderstanding about the canceled grants the grants are not “subsidies” or “entitlements” to Harvard or Princeton or whatever they aren’t going into universities’ endowments they are competitive contracts won by these universities to do research

amazing how grasping this seems in response to someone doing something, how much he needs to be able to rewrite what you saw. the lesson is to do more things

Legit the best thing any Dem has done to date in response to Trump and it happened because he cared more about serving his constituents than public polling about immigration.

Also it is REALLY key that Rowling is very much alive and is spending all her time and vast sums of money trying to oppress trans people during a massive global right-wing power grab: this does make her *worse* than other problematic authors, in my opinion.

Anti-trans policies don't just hurt trans people. They hurt anyone who doesn't fit neatly into a pink box or a blue one. And they hurt the rest of us by creating pressure to ensure that we always fit neatly into our box.

This is all going to get harder, but they literally cannot legislate you out of existence. When tomorrow arrives, you will still be here, you will still be who you are, and we will all still be here with you.

if you are a cis person it costs you nothing to just say today that you see & hear your trans sisters & brothers & others over in the UK today -- and around the world, too, knowing that rulings like today's ripple out in ugly ways.

If you're a reporter in a White House press briefing as the spokesperson for the government asserts flatly that Kilmar Abrego Garcia is a member of the MS-13 gang who's guilty of human trafficking and you sit there silently without shouting out "PROVE IT!" I'd like to invite you to go fuck yourself.

The photos of gleeful, hateful bigots are really something. Imagine what kind of absolute loser you'd have to be to invest any part of yourself in destroying the rights of some of your fellow humans, let alone your entire identity. Fuck terfs. Trans women are women.

yeah there's a direct through line between this ruling and anyone who bought that hogwart's game that trans people got screamed at for suggesting we boycott

As a biologist, I'm appalled at pride the White House takes in willful ignorance. In yesterday's executive order about NPR and PBS, their first example of "the trash that passes for `news' at NPR and PBS" is the statement that "banana slugs are hermaphrodites." But this is unequivocal fact.
