Fun fact: the braille never changes on ADA compliant signs. They can swap out the vinyl lettering all they want. In the meanwhile, blind folks can't find the bathrooms, or office suites or elevators, etc. Don't make it worse than it already is by being cute.

If someone says, I need $500 to pay my rent. And you give that because they're in need. That's mutual aid. And if you were expecting something back you weren't practiving mutual aid. The survival of the community is the benefit all receive in mutual aid. You don't just look for what you can gain.

I don't believe in Hell, but if I did I would die happy knowing there was a special seating section for anyone currently railing against "the sin of empathy," and every one of those seats is made with hot rusty barbs

It's strikingly similar to the white supremacy campaigns in Reconstruction North Carolina, as described by Gregory Downs in Declarations of Independence (p.192), where Black employment in government jobs was framed as prima facie evidence of anti-white discrimination.

It’s not just Space X. Musk was able to save Tesla because of a loan from the Dept of Energy. Here he is in 2013 filled with gratitude for the federal agency & the taxpayers who saved his business. From reporting by @puck.news. airmail.news/issues/2025-...

In 2015, a study showed that 1.6 million students attended schools that had a cop, but not a counselor. Schools are overly surveilled + overly policed. AI is an extension of this surveillance + policing. On that note, kids: do not ever say anything about your mental health to AI.

I wish more people were talking about egg prices as less of a “muh egg prices!” thing and more about the fact that there is an organized egg cartel that is illegally price gouging and almost certainly illegally price fixing and reaping massive, gigantic profits.

Parasociality mostly rightfully gets a bad rap because people are stupid and can't distinguish reality from fantasy. Paradoxically, playing with that boundary is what makes it so fun.

Hey all, I’m in my 2nd week of trying to get a fiber arts drop-in group started at my local library (Egleston Square branch of the BPL). The group runs Fridays 2-4 pm, and I’d really appreciate a share if you’re a fiber artist and/or Bostonian so I can reach people who might be interested. Thanks!

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access
