i am going to put a finer point on this: executive orders are not laws. and they certainly are not royal decrees. they are interpretations of existing law for the purposes of enforcement. the fact that so many people are treating them as laws is actually driving me a bit insane.

It’s fun starting a new hobby with ADHD because I never know if I’ve found a new lifelong passion or if I’m going to spend $2000 on stuff and immediately lose all interest

We should want developers to take their time for the sake of both getting a good game and for the devs to not be rushed and overworked.

How are y'all dealing with the cognitive dissonance of much of your daily life continuing as normal right now even as really really really bad shit is happening in government (that will certainly have ripple effects that will reach us all)? Because I'm honestly feeling a little insane right now.

See now I’m starting to think that these people want a machine to summarize things for them because when a human does it, the human uses words like “no” and “that would hurt people” and “that’s illegal.”

Through comments, I learned about other big myths Americans believe about foreign aid: 1/ it's risen past 1% in recent years, esp. due to Ukraine - false, max is about 0.5% in 2022 $80B 2/ it's used mostly not for humanitarian aid - nope 3/ It's mainly about military objectives - nope

Liberal wypipo, the women in particular, continue to be baffled and deeply perturbed at Black folks choosing to live and focus on our own lives despite the chaos their people overwhelmingly voted for and I just want to remind yall that Black people do not solely exist to be activism foot soldiers.

i hate how almost every mayor in a blue city is either faking being progressive while actually being captured by the cop/homeowner complex (eg Bass, Bowser, Parker) or is progressive but not very good at their job (Johnson) but the left still gets blamed for all of them regardless

The weirdest thing about Americans embracing Nazism or the Confederacy in the name of patriotism is that actual American patriots fought against both of those movements and won decisively. You’re celebrating a loser movement.

I need y’all to take this anti-DEI movement seriously. You need to make these companies’ wallets hurt and you need to start pouring your money into Black, brown, queer and disabled businesses. If you are a marginalized business owner, drop your link. Here’s mine: leftunreadbooks.binderybooks.com

The in-fighting within the various parts of the left and progressives (as it ever was) is about the pain and tension of different paths amidst the fear. I struggle because I have empathy for any way forward that lets you sleep at night, and helps you take care of the people you love. It’s all valid.

Don’t forget that one of the goals here is to convince us that they are so well-organized and so prepared, that there is nothing we can do. But ALSO don’t forget that while they are loud, none of their goals are new. The communities who pushed back their ancestors are still here pushing back.

It should prob be remembered that “birthright citizenship” was the product of the abolitionist mvt, which understood that no person of color would be safe from deportation or bondage if their citizenship could be questioned or taken away

I keep an informal little equation in my head at all times: irony-poisoned → low trust → fascism I don’t care if it’s cringe. You have to believe in things, earnestly, to acknowledge that progress is happening and better things yet remain. Your “lol, lmao” at every little thing is death.

Not to get all "parenthood changes your whole perspective," but I do think becoming a dad has made me even less tolerant of Bluesky's doomer brigade. I'm completely uninterested in having depressive strangers lecture me about how my daughter's future is written and there's nothing we can do.
