I broke my pinky in a @weareecs.bsky.social FC match once. Called my bench to bring me tape, wrapped it up, and played 20 minutes before the ref figured it out and forced me out of the game. You got this Andrew!

hopefully it's only a matter of time until people put their phones down and directly interrupt these kidnappings & forced disappearances. But as many cases of history have shown - this has not been the case in response to public state terror (Argentina in the 70s being one example)
ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being “non compliant”

He couldn’t “comply” because of his disability…they don’t care

This is not the first time they’ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because it’s an easy way to meet their quota

It sucks to not be able to watch your local football team just because you won't give money to whichever evil megacorp bought up the streaming rights. Football is for the people and the community.

Scrolling election results and learning that a coworker was running for and may have won a city council seat in the city we work is weird. I'm sure there are company rules against campaigning in the workplace but I had 0 idea he was even involved in politics?!?

Mutual aid should be a threat to the state, not a substitute for its “failures.” It is saying “the state does not do this & will not do this because it is built to oppress & exploit.” Mutual aid is a radical act of caring for each other outside of those systems of oppression.

Pumped out a pint for BloodWorksNW in 4min46s today, which has me wishing I had recorded my times in the past. Anyone out there keep track of their PR? Or can I find it in my donation history??

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
