Learning that the Dems are spending tens of millions of dollars to understand how to post successfully online doesn’t make me particularly optimistic for the future. Case in point: my friends and I learned how to do that for free when we were children

Hey fellow trans Americans - I know you're scared right now. For good reason. Reach out to friends and community. Call a hotline. Just stay, whatever you do. Just stay.

Virginity is a construct and hymens are not arbiters of purity. Misogyny really pulled a stunt with this one.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Pete Hegseth is treating the Pentagon like it’s a Fox News set—ordering a makeup studio while leaking sensitive information in Signal chats. This is what happens when you put clout-chasers in charge of national security.

the thing I hate most about that rfk quote is that autistic lives have value and worth and beauty and dignity whether they are able to do the things other people do or not. no one is defined by ability or lack thereof and to frame divergence as lack is monster stuff, utterly godless

A concentration camp is defined by Encyclopedia Brittanica as an internment center for political prisoners & members of national or minority groups who are confined for reasons of state security, exploitation, or punishment, usually by executive decree. Auschwitz wasn't in Germany.

I reported on economics full-time in 2020. It taught me there are no incentives to have a baby in the US. Women in the US have to pay for pre-natal, medical and child care, earn less, do most of the parenting and chores, get promoted less, and are now at 27% higher risk of maternal mortality.

Yes, the stock market may be tanking and our national security apparatus has never been more vulnerable and we're on the verge of both economic collapse and war, but it was all worth it to keep pronouns out of email signatures.

Good morning. Birds are chirping outside, calling to each other and maybe to the world, "I am here, I am here!" And so are we, in various ways, calling to each other, "I am still here!"

Few things make me livid when I see them online seeing parents proudly say they have no regrets after letting their child die of measles, a fully preventable disease, I lose it for a bit. That’s child neglect. CPS has taken Black kids for far less, and it’s infuriating to watch this go unchecked.

It’s important to understand that when a white person says “this has never happened before” or compares some oppressive behavior to a foreign regime, but it did happen here to Black/brown people for years/decades/centuries, it represents a massive blow to solidarity. It’s selfish.
