I used to select Dem primary candidates based on policy. Now I will aggressively try to destroy any Dem who says "we need to look forward not backward" and fervently support anyone who says "I will see these motherfuckers prosecuted and jailed if it's the last thing I do."

I love seeing how people like to pretend the US can't have sweatshops when every single time I see Amazon warehouse workers come out and tell how awfully it is, Americans will pile on them bc "Amazon created so many jobs" or some dumb shit Old america really thinks factories would pay more

"DOGE is eliminating the government's tape backups because they're too stupid to know why they're important" is the generous interpretation, when what they might actually be doing is stealing all the money and trying to destroy the records of them doing so.

I honestly don't know how to handle the fact that the entire world is comfortable watching an entire people get ethnically cleansed live on the internet. No emergency meetings between governments, not even a conference call. Not a single country, other than Yemen, is willing to stop this.

A world without Trans people has never existed, and it never will. More than visibility, we need safety 🏳️‍⚧️

Would you still play your favorite game if it had no advancement mechanics? If not, then you don't actually like the game, you're just well-trained by the Skinner Box.

Pls, the main purpose of art is not to have a perfectly polished illustration from void, but to overcome the path of struggle while creating it from zero. It wouldn't be perfect, but that's the point! All the beauty of art is in the imperfection, in the understanding that it's made by human hands

"ai makes art accessible" is an argument i hate to my fucking bones. Art is EASILY accessible, I'd argue it's the cheapest most accessible hobby because all you need is a pen and paper. "yeah but not everyone has skills" no everyone has the skill, you just need to put in the work 1/7 🧵

Please stop using ChatGPT in general, but also, please, please stop using it and then taking what it says to you as fact. It's usually wrong! It doesn't fact check itself. It just creates approximations of information based on other text! It's basically magnetic poetry that sets the world ablaze.

If you ever find yourself writing "The blankest blank you've NEVER heard of," I want you to stop. Slap yourself in the face. And walk away. It was a clever turn of phrase exactly one time a hundred years ago. Now, it just makes you sound like a dipshit who says "allergies are nothing to sneeze at"

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

PSA: Jabberwock is the name of the monster. Jabberwocky is the name of the poem. Also, everyone remembers the bandersnatch, but the Jub Jub gets no respect. This is bird erasure, and I won't stand for it.
