Weird thing where people say “no one could have predicted it” when really what they mean is their political commitments and orientation were such that they ignored everyone who was predicting it

Sorry but “no one could have“ and you having your head stuck up your ass are two different situations

All I want for Christmas is to get a trial run of 3,000 HRT kits to my trans friends in the US. 🥰 🏳️‍⚧️

We're only 10% away from reaching our goal!! Let's knock this out by New Years?
Fuck it. Trans folks need MATERIAL SUPPORT.

@distributeaid.org is launching an HRT Harm Reduction Toolkit that provides 1 year of medical supplies needed to take injection-based HRT. We were planning to go live in January, but I'm not waiting.

Fund the kits here: distributeaid.org/hrt-harm-red...

the answer to "why don't americans have..." and it's something so simple like national healthcare or feeding kids at school the answer is "bc Black people would also have it"
This is why America didn't get national health care back in the days of the Truman Administration, 1945-1953: white racists didn't want black Americans to get it.
After years of talking to Trump supporters my view of them has become very simple: They want socialist, even sometimes progressive reforms but they want them from someone who makes those reforms feel powerful and masculine and they want to make sure the people they don't like don't benefit from them

So, today was the first day of Haitian Creole and I remember much more when reviewing it than I did with Japanese.

Hubby and I got funding to direct a short film adaptation of one of our works!

I would LOVE the opportunity to shadow a horror director first - if anyone has a shoot scheduled between now and June of 2025. (Particularly in L.A.)

Just putting it out here in the blue skies! 😀

First day of my language learning journey, starting with Japanese. Today I just reviewed some of the hiragana I've already looked at and realized how much I didn't actually retain. 😅
But, hopefully, it will stick this time.

I also like to update and let people know and to emphasize how Talib Kweli has NEVER stopped harassing Maya and bothering Maya at any point in time and spreading lies that she’s not a real person and calling her a Nazi, etc.

Just so yall know— He is still harassing.

Oh no, one of of you posted "and you're surprised??" in reply to someone, didn't you?

If you do that, Bluesky crashes and no one's allowed to post for an hour. This is a feature, not a bug.

The feature that allows you to remove your post from someone’s quote is really great. The quote post feature is one of the biggest forms of harassment on X.

So I'm going to make a promise to myself: next month is when I get serious about learning languages again. Actually taking classes serious, with homework serious.
