As a family, we all buy one another books, we ask for a list of ten and pick five. It sorts out the ‘???? Is impossible to buy for’ nightmare ❤️📚 #Books #BookSky

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

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.

Every generation has its scapegoat, its "moral panic" Created by the rich, for the poor to squabble over in distraction. Trans people exist. They always have. They always will. They have every right to. Billionaires shouldn't. They oppress everyone. Over every generation. Let's talk about that 👊

RFK Jr’s comments about autistic people made a lot of folks feel like they had to list their accomplishments. To prove the value of their life. Your value doesn’t depend on being able to meet work requirements or write poetry. It just is. Don’t let these sick men make you question your worth.

"Daylighting" is the practice in urban design of restoring buried rivers to the surface. The River Sheaf been unburied in Sheffield city centre, after 100 yrs in the dark. Fabulous. A small light in the great gloom. “It is starting to make its own meandering path…” www.bbc.com/news/article...

I knew a Holocaust survivor who talked about the importance of notetaking under authoritarianism, to track what normal was and how it shifted. Here's that 🧵 with respect to disability, itself a canary in the fascist coal mine: www.disability-rights-watch.com/2025/02/09/w...
