It would seem there are very few mistakes
What’s plentiful, it seems to me now, is a lot of lack of support
And when people fall through the cracks of not having the support they need, it’s called a mistake—to point to individual responsibility rather than the failing systems we all inhabit

It’s wildly disingenuous for @aaron.bsky.team to reply to queries about Sarah Kendzior’s suspension about how they don’t comment publicly on individual users when he knows that we all know that they haven’t even told her privately what the basis for the suspension is

Still trying to close the affordability gap on a flight to Cleveland for him which went up with flight cancellations. Any bit helps as he has many interviews to get to this year. Marriott Bonvoy point donations also helpful - DM me.

Sycamore’s new novel “Terry Dactyl” shirks nostalgia, instead showing how queer history often repeats

I reject the idea that the most the American people can demand of the Democratic Party is blocking bad things the Republican Party wants to do.
People want good jobs, safe & affordable housing, healthcare, a savings account, and the ability to live a good life.
Don’t settle.
