Was just having this discussion on how not every form of rebellion needs every person to be boots on the ground. You need community organizers, people making articles, those that provide safety nets. Revolution also needs to be inclusive

There’s losing a rap beef, and then there’s the American Heart Association going “did you know that dissing Drake can save lives?”

It's National Girls and Women in Sports Day, which I want to remind you is for ALL WOMEN. Except maybe TERFs.

Don't forget to include disabled people in your resistance. The more revolutionary you become, the more likely you'll join the disability community. To fight back and get out alive is almost always to become disabled in some way. Disabled people know how to adapt and fight continuously. You need us.

hard to strike the right tone in work emails lately. "I hope you and yours are having moderate success dissociating from All This Fuckshit. please invoice us by Friday if we still have a society"

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Today some rando online told me something I had done wasn't "becoming". Hi, welcome to me. So. What am I becoming? Wrong answers only.

If you do the Tomahawk Chop, you're a bigot. It's not a debate. You're a racist person doing a racist thing and you're very excited about it. Also I hope your car gets a flat tire.

Just a reminder that you are one person and that you are unlikely to even be able to save yourself alone if called on to do so. These are collective struggles. Do your part. No more, no less.

This isn't just work stopping. This is cell lines dying. In vivo tissue going bad. Fly lines dropping. Research materials going bad. A lot of that stuff you can't just pick back up. Once it's gone it's gone, or will take years to reconstitute.

A month later, this is also what happens when they freeze NIH. You can't do this shit and then call yourself pro-life.

Listen, if they really cared about girl’s sports, they would make sure that girls have the same access as boys to funding. Or facilities. Or coaches. Or uniforms. Or bus budgets. They don’t care about girl’s sports. They care about punching down on a minuscule number of trans athletes.

🔊 PSA for nondisabled people 🔊 It's time to step the FUCK up if you wanna be an ally. ASL interpretation is being targeted by right wing cry baby douchebags. Shut this shit down when you see it. SPEAK UP. This barrage of ASL hate is heavier than usual.

The nyt let Boylan go as a regular contributor in summer 2022, just as Pamela Paul moved into Opinion and began producing a regular stream of anti-trans columns. That was a clear marker of the slanted coverage that was to come.
