Just so I'm clear: Trans women are women. Trans men are men. I won't debate this, and I won't hear bullshit arguments. Bathroom bans are bigotry and ignorance. And that's fucking it.
Something that would help people buy a house is setting a maximum interest rate on a 30 year mortgage, not introducing a 50 year mortgage that will do nothing but make banks richer.

People don’t want to feel like entrepreneurs when it comes to their healthcare.
They don’t want it to feel like big business.
They want their tax dollars to cover it for everyone.
They want to show up for care, get it and go home.
No bills. No payment plans. No negotiating. Just care.

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

Please put the Working Families Party in your mouth. They did wonders with Mamdani’s campaign. We saw how quickly his rise to collective awareness was in less than six months.
We can do that too, people. Everywhere. We hold the power. Screw Establishment Dems. Their time is over. It’s our turn now.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Bacon of Knowledge of Good and Evil is definitely a cursed magical item.
I am going through old sketchbooks before I shove them into another closet and am somewhat bemused by the notes I wrote to my future self.
“pecked to death by iron-eyed albatrosses”
“Archaeopteryx girl at the cliffs of oolong”
“Eve tastes the Bacon of the Knowledge of Good and Evil.”

So I bought yarn today. Haven't in a while, so I'm pretty excited. Jimmy Beans sent a text about the Lana Grossa sale and I hopped on to grab Setasuri in Cream and Soffio in Rust Brown. Both will go with something I already have to become sweaters. The Soffio is for old and precious stash.

Well, I have a new ball of yarn, a 108 stitch cast on, and I'm currently doing plain 1x1 ribbing for as long as I can stand it. I have no plan. I'm making this shit up as we go along. Fuck patterns.
This is what happens when you know enough to go it alone and replace annoyance with hubris.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Take a lesson from the Black Panthers who understood how to feed people
If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Another one I see all the time in tabletop roleplaying. All demographic info we have right now points to about an even split between genders (with a not insignificant number of nonbinary players). Yet you still get dudes who say women don't play RPGs.

I have to tink (knit backwards, for those who do not do this thing) 3 rounds. Each round has over 200 stitches at this point. Yay. *sigh*

Today I am still knitting on my Veneer sweater, but I also swatched some yarn for a Waffle Sweater by Pernille Larsen. I like floofy sweaters. It is floofy. I'm not 100% sold on whether it'll work or not (Holst Coast and Drops Brushed Alpaca Silk) but it's drying now so we'll know in a while.

A left wing politics that is oriented around your rights and identity as an individual consumer instead of your responsibilities as a member of a social or political community is basically a left aesthetic pasted onto an internalized neoliberal ontology.

That’s the kind of kneejerk dismissive advice that makes me violent. Telling people to just grow their own food is tantamount to telling them to eat cake.
On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Since I’m seeing the comparisons again, your regular reminder that comparing Trump to Marie Antoinette is unkind. Marie Antoinette helped convince France to back the colonists during the Revolutionary War and was thus a significant positive for America.

Confession: I like to watch sweater yarn stash Youtube videos because I like to see what other people are using and loving to knit sweaters with. As someone who focuses on sweaters, it's nice to see how other people go about buying their sweater yarn.
