“The road to hell is smooth” is a wonderful sentiment but clearly Virgil never rode in a Tesla

My brain does cool things w ideas and if my body & voice & humanity weren't so inconvenient I would have been successful, likely lauded. It was never a meritocracy. It was never okay. And ngl it's easier imagining working w someone once tricked by Trump than someone still tricked by academia.

Much better no/yes meme that doesn't use Drake just dropped! (Meme generator template in replies.)

Seems like a design flaw if oversight can just be dissolved. Is America just a pile of gentlemen's agreements

I think I'm going to fall apart from pattern recognition.

They lied in your termination letter oh word? Did they actually build a case against you personally? Did they take every request for help and portray it as a sign of bad fit? Did they sit you down and tell you to your face that you don't belong? Did they set you up to fail? Any of this happen?

Being an academic fired abruptly by fascists sucks but if you weren't fired after months of torment and aren't currently suffering from trauma that prohibits you from imaging ever being employed again... 🤷🏿‍♀️ from my vantage point it seems like people care and are talking about it.

Not to brag but I was fired by fascists before it was cool

Also make it known in your circles if you can offer folks free photocopying. It's more expensive than ever. ESPECIALLY color copies. If you can liberate resources from your workplace for ex, let people in your close circles know that you'll make copies for them for free.

Louder for the vote harder folks in the back

i want to Build A tower. i want it to BE the Like biggest TOWER there ever was. it should be union made. tell all the unions. we should build a tower. for america. it would take a lot of general planning but we would start soon to strike while the country's hot and all that.

My house was on debate It was my house It kept my children safe It kept us free My house is gone It wasn't my house It was on stolen ground It kept us in debt I miss my house Where there was never rest Where suffering was certain Where I knew what to expect No no no no no I do not want it back

If you're a journalist use good alt text If you're a reporter use good alt text If you are posting about a news article use good alt text "Part of the article" is not good alt text "News article" is not good alt text "Page one of the report" is not good alt text Copy and paste don't work?

Adversarial media is badly needed right now but outlets are largely frozen by a sad mix of cowardice and existential fear. These are crummy times but it can actually be a lot worse. I really need my industry to throw some punches.

I can't tell if this is a feature or a bug or a test.

fun fact!!! sharing pictures of nazi salutes still helps normalize it even if you shake your head the whole time

American Exceptionalism also applies to thinking there's no way America could be a dogshit racist fascist nation unless some flavor of salivating eastern horde was behind the transformation

Elon just sent us all an email demanding a 5-bullet progress report by EOD Monday. FEDS please hold for Altgov guidance. Meanwhile, help us draft our report: 1. Held convos without pronouns 2. Practiced Roman salute 3. Checked genitals in bathroom 4. Burned all books 5. Threw out all spoons

Internalize that the United States as we understood it on January 19, 2025 is gone. We are in the midst of rewriting the rules and reconstructing society *right now* and must adjust accordingly. There is no going back, so we must imagine and think forward

TIL. Allistic. Outstanding thread. I'm disinclined to locate myself on the spectrum because I always am considering the whole spectrum ... which locates me on the spectrum! 🤯

I definitely think we should not rise up against the government and start doing real violence I think we should just wait and see what happens and trust our institutions will course correct for us automatically, also it's opposite day today

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

They should give me a PhD for this thread

Oh the canary died of avian flu months ago

Nazi shit happens at CPAC every single year now. It's undeniable what that hive is. Anyone denying this shit still has their head so far up their own ass that they should never be taken seriously for any reason on any topic ever again because they're delusional.

Pretending he's giving us gender affirming stimulus
