Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

On this #WorldCancerDay I'd like to give a shout-out/I see you to my fellow young adult cancer survivors. Adolescents, minorities, and young adults are cancer patient groups that are understudied and have many unmet survivorship needs.

I found my people at a Gilda's Club way back when I was diagnosed. I was young and didn't think I needed to talk with anyone. They were like well would you like to learn to knit? Come and do that. So I did. I met other people going through the same thing and everything was different after that.
Remembering Gilda Radner on #WorldCancerDay.

A gifted and brilliant comedian and actress--the first performer cast on 𝘚𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘥𝘢𝘺 𝘕𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘓𝘪𝘷𝘦--Gilda Radner died of #ovariancancer on May 20, 1989, at the age of 42.🕯️

The Chris Evans scene in "Don't Look Up" when he's both-sides-ing a comet crashing into the earth is what I think of when I hear anyone talk about toning down the division in this country. youtu.be/eRzBKPcTG1Y?...

the defund police movement was pilloried as unpopular and an electoral loser. but it wasn't about winning elections; it was about building antifascist power.

now even centrist dems are (veeeery tentatively) using those ideas as we face a fascist crisis. www.everythingishorrible.net/p/now-is-def...
Now Is Defund's Moment
The movement was always about fighting fascism, not winning elections

The video of T***p crapping himself while bootlickers standing around in the stench and his lackies rush the press out will be seen forever as the most prescient? Apt? metaphor of this administration.

These are government employees. So our tax dollars are funding ICE to flash white supremacist cards at vulnerable POC as an intimidation tactic. Who is giving this direction?

There’s something deeply sinister happening in this country right now, and I don’t think we can take three more years.

Ya know what keeps popping into my head when I see ICE? Kubrick’s “Full Metal Jacket” and the film’s commentary on penis=gun=penis. I mean the film had more layers but that’s my takeaway all these years later.

we said all along that they wanted Gawker dead not because we embarrassed a pro wrestler but because the Epstein story is one Gawker was covering a decade before most other people caught up & was just one of many stories exposing powerful people and their misdeeds
Among the batch of newly released emails from Jeffrey Epstein: Epstein telling Peter Thiel he would “gladly share…expenses for the Gawker suit.”

This was sent the day after @rmac.bsky.social and @mattdrange.bsky.social reported in Forbes that Thiel was behind the lawsuit that would bankrupt Gawker
