Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

Trump’s latest executive order (that was no doubt written by psychopath RFK Jr.) goes after antidepressants. As someone whose life was saved by them, you will pry my prozac from my cold dead hands. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

You can’t be intelligent enough to be able to write an article with this many big words and also stupid enough to have such an enormous lack of knowledge of history. That’s how you can tell if something is obvious propaganda. www.wsj.com/opinion/if-i...

The Trump Administration has rolled back almost EVERYTHING the Biden Administration has done, EXCEPT, there are STILL 4 FREE Covid tests per Household AVAILABLE. Get them while you can, before they get rid of them too! Please SHARE far & wide: special.usps.com/testkits

When poor people organize their “spoons”, spoons meaning their reserved emotional space for accomplishing critical tasks, it is average and normal to save at least one spoon a day for helping someone else with their emergency. Our survival is triaging our emergencies into priorities we can manage.

BIG difference between Trump dissolving the constitution & government & enshrining hate into law & the world beyond the state anarchists look for.That’s cooperative structures that allow us to live in equality & mutuality. He’s pushing a state into decline to be its autocrat. @161bklyn.bsky.social

This is exactly what a villainous AI developer would say in a sci-fi novel about humanity’s technological hubris.

I'm living for this conversation. Why the hell should we cede the ground of care taking to the fascists? As @margaret.bsky.social said, contested ground literally means where we fight and I'm contesting this ground. raechelannejolie.substack.com/p/anarcho-tr...

This shit is why it’s always so bizarre to me that liberals think law will be enough to protect them. The entire US police force is full of HEAVILY radicalized bigots who want the ability to kill with impunity.

It's been nearly SIX MONTHS since the Indy Council passed the Vision Zero proposal, and what do we have to show for it? One brief introductory meeting and nearly 50 more deaths on our streets. I really hate to say it but it looks like @jmb53.bsky.social's Vision Zero Task Force is a sham. 🧵 1/6

If you’re like me and you love science fiction, it just so happens that three of the best modern science fiction writers are Black women: @nkjemisin.bsky.social, @nnedi.bsky.social, and Octavia Butler. You could read #Binti, #ParableOfTheSower, and start the #Inheritance series this month.

NYTimes adding insult to injury in this tragedy. The “treatment” was for autism, which isn’t a thing, and was being done by someone with no medical training who charges cash for expensive bogus therapies. And now a 5-year-old is dead because of the grift.

Folks, I see a lot of you recently feeling free to use some variation of the "R" word for mentally disabled, including appending the last four letters as suffix to describe people you don't like. I'm not down with that, so if you do it in my comments, I'm gonna hide that shit at least. Be better.

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

“The State Department is blocking new passports for trans Americans” The EU needs to update its laws and open asylum pathways for trans people. Denying someone identification is state sponsored erasure and it needs to be recognised as persecution.
