My cat and I just scared each other. (I'm super jumpy btw) I opened the door to talk to my son and the kitten was right in my face and meowed. I wasn't expecting it so naturally I screamed, and he jumped back in terror.

Too many people on here seem to believe there are exactly two kinds of Americans: ardent politically-obsessed Bluesky users, and frothing MAGA cultists. There are a LOT of people in this country who just don’t pay a lot of attention one way or another. And we absolutely can reach them.

Went to the second meeting for the new school. Icebreakers were Valentine themed and I immediately said "oh FFS" and walked out 😅 Grateful my new principal understands and came out with a stuffed animal to comfort me. But yeah, I did not have the energy to mask my feelings around that right now

Me: I'm a math teacher. Them: Oh, I hated math in school. Also, what's with this new way of teaching math? Why don't they just teach it the way we were taught? Me:

On Tuesday my ex husband, who was in prison for the last 14+ years for CSA, will be released from prison. I don't fully know how to handle my emotions regarding all of that, even after talking to my therapist.

A lot of folks are going folks lose their jobs regardless of whether or not they speak up. So the real question is, how do you want to go out? Cowering to these people or standing up and using your voice.

I know why people are focusing on 47's fans. But I want to say that they don't matter now. There are so many people to engage who haven't paid attention to electoral politics for years but can be part of mutual aid & rapid response networks now.

"No one ever thought this would happen" is dishonest and journalists not pointing that out are doing you all a disservice. Many people said word for word this would happen. You just didn't respect those people. And you need to be honest instead of the feigned surprise for sympathy.

So basically the same people who say racism no longer exists in america did this thing where they started using dei as a euphemism so they can get black people fired from jobs

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

Never forget that media organizations large and small didn’t do their part in reporting on how heinous and cruel a second Trump admin would be because THE RIDICULOUSNESS IS GOOD FOR BUSINESS.

Cis women need to understand: the attack on trans women is an attack on all women. Imagine any other “group” of women having their rights stripped away, where’s that rage? Channel it into standing with our trans sisters. Women’s rights are all of our fight.

A boycott isn't the same thing as individual consumers changing their behavior. If enough consumers have a bad taste in their mouth, a struggling business can shrink or go under. If Target, Amazon and/or Walmart's your only option for food & essentials, please survive! You can work on other issues.

You know what strikes me? Out of all the things Trump has done this week, not a single one helps a single person. Literally 10s of millions of people are hurt by the things he's done, but not one is helped. It's beyond cruelty; it's malice by governance.

This was generated as an auto-complete meme, but for real: As a society, we have defined "good at math" as being able to manipulate numbers quickly. Kids are rewarded or punished in school based on this. But that's not math. Math is thinking creatively about logical ideas. And everyone can do it.

I was just looking up WinCo & Aldi and both of them have removed DEI from their sites (can't tell if WinCo ever had one tbh but Aldi definitely removed theirs)

It's damn telling how fast corporate America quit diversity. Seems like those marginalized people who've been telling us about racism, sexism, bigotry, bias, and exclusion might have been right all along.

The speed with which companies are abandoning DEI is a clue about how shallow their commitment to it ever was.
