It is very hard to cope with chronic illness when you can’t afford to have your basic needs met
It’s not a personal failing. It’s the result of a hyper capitalistic & ableist society
We need to stop blaming the individuals and start demanding social reform

If the Canadian govt had any sense of innovation, there are so many ways that Canada Post could be used to aid in this service delivery. I would love to see Canada Post involved in online marketplace services.
Canadian banks closed 561 branches & 900 ATMs in 4 years, while population grew 7%.
Those same banks made $70 billion profit last year alone.
We need postal banking & credit unions freed to provide all banking services.
Public options for banking now!

100%. “Let’s not jump to conclusions“ is sensible but it’s a very, very conspicuous thing to say about, say, the class of people JK Rowling belongs to, and never about the groups of people she has poured her resources into demonizing.

don't mind me, just finding lots of bread crumbs showing Epstein and the League of Pederasts were a driving force in pushing transphobic hate.

right like it seriously needs to be reiterated a billion times that the incidents here aren't conspiratorially unique but a machinic form of patriarchal violence and violation that occurs in fractals and scales at all levels of society. sexual abuse is the glue of structures of exploitation
I need people to understand that it’s not just Epstein, it’s the entire rape culture that existed before and after him at every socioeconomic level. That’s why Epstein, who I’ve never thought was particularly smart or interesting, was able to pull this all off—he recognized how abuse functions

The way this works is that, even if men DON'T have the power to subjugate other men or hoard vast wealth, they can console themselves by sexually violating women and children. That's what patriarchy is. It's the promise that even if a man doesn't rule the world, he's the oppressor at home.

Look: Capitalism allows a few people to concentrate power and wealth to the extent that even ONE of them hating his trans kid has the potential to ruin millions of lives. That's terrifying. But patriarchy, which teaches sexual violence as an expression of power, is not exclusive to billionaires.

SO EXCITED for this footage. I've been watching thousands of crows roost at sunset for awhile, but I've struggled to get quality flying in front of moon footage.
Last night I captured 8 of the 10,000+ crows take the path I've wanted.
More, better, to come in the future! But super jazzed for now 🪶

95% of outstanding dues to UN are owed by Trump's govt.
This tracks given that Team Trump's full intentions for the "Board of Peace" is actually to replace UN, with POTUS having total authority over other member nations.

The Noam Chomsky-Epstein stuff is a good reminder that the "tenured radical" lifestyle is incompatible with good personal politics.
Radical-chic, celebrity intellectuals of Cambridge and Boston wrote and lectured about corrupt elites while taking meetings with the very embodiment of those elites.
