So the Israeli government approves of boycotting and divesting to signal their displeasure with an organization’s conduct?!?! Good to know.

Matt Gaetz's withdrawal demonstrates a) again that fascism's first lie is inevitability; it's not. b) the struggle is long; obviously, this isn't over. c) the wild instability of weaponized narratives. The Right developed "groomer," which made legible behavior that Gaetz was hardly first to pursue.

So . . . He had resigned his seat in the 118th Congress after the announcement even though he had been reelected to his seat. Will he be allowed to be seated in the 119th Congress, or will his District have to go through the process of a Special Election? And if they do, will he run?

[Reproducing my most viral post] When discussing Universal Basic Income, inevitably the retort comes: "So you just want people to not have to work, is that it?" Accompanied by a smug smirk, expecting me to backpedal and hem and haw, say "Of course not, that's silly." Except...yes. Yes, I do. 1/11

Long THREAD 🧵- RE: cis people who feel the need to mourn when someone comes out as trans As a therapist, I understand that change can be a big adjustment for people & that people need to acknowledge those feelings to move forward Mourning/grieving a gender identity isn’t that:

I drew this strip a few years ago, but it feels even more relevant now.

The post and the article both bury the lede, though - there wouldn't have even been the option for arbitration if the position that Sleiman was fired from hadn't been a UNION one.

Critical thinking skills lead to questioning, after all.

i genuinely can’t believe that “keep your doomposting out of the replies of other people’s cozyposting” is a thing that needs to be said, but fucking let people have a little peace where they can find it.

New update: Prosecutors refused to drop charges against 11-year-old Brownsville boy who was put in solitary confinement, may actually be bringing MORE charges against him. Meanwhile, @josephinelee.bsky.social reports other parents say the principal has a history of vindictiveness:

A temporary program for “dangerously mentally ill” patients has continued for five decades, despite calls from critics to provide better care. Soon, Idaho will be the only state still using prisons to house patients who face no criminal charges.

A library that does this violates the core precepts of the free public library as spelled out in Ranganathan’s Five Laws. It violates four of them: 1 Books are for use. 2 Every person their book. 3 Every book its reader. 4 Save the time of the reader. A complete disgrace. 📚

David Tennant wore “a TARDIS pin with the trans flag colours” on a couple of TV shows in November. Lots of people saw the pin and bought one, resulting in the pin’s maker donating £18,000+ to a UK LGBTQ+ homeless charity. www.thepinknews.com/2023/11/24/d... 1/2
