I wish I could make it so that every population experiencing genocide wasn't. I want all peoples to be safe & able to self-determine. Alas, I am but a teacher who is struggling with housing security myself. So I will do my best to share & elevate because everyone deserves to be safe

There's an essay in me about this very topic. How minorities get the label of activist shoved onto them for simply asking to respected as human beings, is annoying at best and dehumanizing at worst.
God I'm so sick of how "Activist" is used to un-person trans people.

We’ve gathered £83 so far, but we still need £292 to complete this month’s school installment for my children.
Please I don’t want them to miss another chance of learning.🥹
Your kindness can open the school doors for them and give them back their childhood after genocide.💔

This is a pretty cool thread. And why couldn't ancient people understand how to get a tree to grow in a way that makes better boats?
"Did ancient Indigenous peoples "bioengineer" the oak wood that was used to build at least some of the ancient canoes that have been discovered in Lake Mendota?"
Were ancient canoes found in Lake Mendota made of bioengineered wood?
The term "bioengineering" was coined in the 20th century, but ancient Ho-Chunk were likely practicing it for thousands of years.

Hierarchies are terrible and should be minimized or abolished whenever possible. Regulations are written in blood & working for their loosening or elimination is a sign of intent. Sex workers, queer people, BIPOC, & the disabled are human rights canaries & must be listened to
"my least woke opinion is---"
That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania.
Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

I spoke with two detransitioners who feel harmed by the Trump administration. Their stories can teach us a lot. I hope you'll read them.

Detransition is key to politicians’ anti-trans agenda. But what is it really like?

Bluesky users wanted to make it clear that sex workers were welcome - and many tried to create accounts here only to discover that welcome didn't mean people would purchase or subscribe. BS is known as a place creators are - and buyers AREN'T.
