remember stuff like this when they tell you that diversity means a lowering of standards

This is my favorite picture of Stonewall. They knew they were getting arrested just for being LGBTQ+. Yet... they're still here, standing outside of the boarded up Stonewall Inn, smiling as the world was at a fever pitch of hatred against them. I think about it a lot in moments like this.

MAGA voters are the adolescents who are sick of mom’s rules and stuff and they wanna live with dad. And now they’re grappling with the fact that dad has no idea how to take care of anything because he just wanted the kids as a way to show mom that he’s cooler.

Ok. So what if we all buy music again and share it amongst our communities (a la 2003)? We can be creative, right? We must have some techy-music-enthusiasts to make a model of this? Ehh?

#ResistanceBlue Wisconsin! You want justices who are fair, unbiased and respect your rights. Judge Susan Crawford is an experienced leader who will keep communities safe and reject efforts to politicize the constitution. Elect Judge Susan Crawford Wisconsin Supreme Court bsky.app/profile/craw...

Seeking an account or other service that allows me to put my time/resources towards resisting fascism without having to actually watch the ups/downs/utter chaos of this administration. Any recommendations?

“Do or do not, as Yoda might say. But please shut up about it, as I definitely would say.” Tressie McMillan Cottom, where are you so I can be bask in your brilliance??

I’m not saying Jane Goodall is unimpressive, but I am saying that I can watch a squirrels in my backyard for hours and I think I, too, would have been really great at watching primates for long periods of time. Mammals that are not dumb humans are mesmerizing.

It really matters when humans value being good humans. It makes all the difference.

“Eat a campfire”! 😂

Just waiting impatiently for Tressie McMillan Cottom to get on this platform.

This is both a) WIIIILD, b) inhumane AF, and c) a real wacky and inefficient use of resources. I know the political machine doesn’t care about these things, but can we enlarge the public narrative around this so that voters can at least see that this is bananas?

The macro-level gaslighting about race and crime in this country is astounding.

At the risk of oversharing, I have been very close to a very suicidal minor for the past few years. I have done all the things. Called suicide hotline. Referred to social workers. Connected with his family. Joined his caseworkers’ meetings. Visited in psych ward. Called cops when it felt imminent.

I love being wrong about things. First the zipper merge and now this! Thanks to @isaacrowlett.bsky.social for being the catalyst for me to rethink things I thought I knew.

This is one of those videos that you could work on forever, but suddenly it felt very important to make it, so I finally did: www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8Pn...

I wonder how many journalists are not even conscious of the passes they give Trump. People have had a lot of practice shutting off the parts of themselves that once were brave enough to hold bullies accountable (peers, siblings, fathers).
