hell whoever you are, Democrat or otherwise. tell your maga relatives. tell your elderly neighbors. tell anybody you can get your hands on

hello queer friends, i saw something this morning that—for once—gave me hope. iowa held a public hearing on a bill to remove gender identity from their civil rights act, and a disabled vet offered his service to the youth fighting to "eradicate nazis" 2nd half in reply, the end is wild! i love him

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

misinformation on this topic kills children. journalists always have a responsibility to Don't Print Lies In The Newspaper but it's especially true for childhood vaccinations.

i would never root for a child to be harmed. even elon's child, i hope he grows up healthy and loved. and i hope he pushes his dad off a building tomorrow

GLENN: "Why don't you wear a suit? You're at the highest level in this country's office & you refuse to wear a suit. A lot of Americans have problems with you not respecting the office."

I'm doing my part. Are you? "Report" "DEI" here: enddei.ed.gov

Shout out to Baltimore! Excellent job everyone

So, I took care of a small, administrative errand that's been hanging over my head for months. Now there's a void where the anxiety for that used to live, and it's not there to generate procrastination-energy to direct towards other tasks. Good lord, I'm broken.

I've been screaming this for years.

🚨HOLY COW: President Trump announces he will be REMOVING ALL golden retrievers that are currently playing basketball on NBA rosters.

This is sick. I love this.

Pet peeve: When someone says, "Due to circumstances beyond my control, I have to do X. How can I do X as painlessly as possible?" and the response is "Oof, you're better off not doing X at all. Do Y instead." No shit. Anyway, I have to find a way to DM for 12-14 teenagers. Advice welcome.

Ok, so if you honestly think wine is better than grape juice, I'm afraid you're an alcoholic.

I also said mainstream news needed to tighten up on saying explicitly what DEI is. I also said they would be too lazy and/or racist to do so.

I've been 2-3 months away from getting my finances in order for the last five years.

we need a new slur to describe the bizarre combination of traits exhibited by elon musk. traditional insults are simply not enough

In bed with the stomach flu and catching up on “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” and I really enjoy the dynamic between Octavius and Osborn. Two very smart and evil men, but still unique. They’ve really found the nuance in the mad scientist trope.

"City middle and high school students don’t automatically go to the school closest to their home, thanks to a school choice program that started 20 years ago. That means kids who live next door to one another could have vastly different commutes." www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/k-...

There’s something happening in this country.

Imagination is necessary for collective liberation. We can only create a better world if we imagine it first. Create. Dream. Wish. Do it out loud. As loud as possible. That’s how you find those who share your vision, who you can work with to change the world, to make the vision into reality.

My first material act was to plan and host a "Know Your Rights" assembly for students in my school (nearly 40% of whom are immigrants). It felt good to use my position in productive way. I'm on the lookout for my next project.

Laughed out loud at this one

LITERALLY EVERY FBI DIRECTOR HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN. EVERY SINGLE ONE.

"They're putting persecuted Christian refugees in camps in the jungle" sounds like something Glenn Beck would accuse the Obama administration of doing and yet now it's a pillar of the Republican agenda.

Clear, easy-to-follow instructions for turning off gemini. Do it for all your Google accounts!

Your outie understands when someone is making a joke on the internet and doesn't embarrass themselves in people's replies

People often assume the emotions associated with cruelty are hatred and anger, but it’s actually pleasure and joy. Fascists relish their cruelty. They roll it around on their tongue like a mouthful of full-bodied wine. They laugh as they harm.
