We don't actually have to listen and report on what these assholes say. Having billions of dollars does not make your opinions more valuable than anyone else.

In fact we shouldn't listen to your opinion on anything because you are a little dragon hoarding wealth and watching people suffer.

Breaking News: Workers at a Whole Foods in Philadelphia voted to become the first unionized store in the grocery chain, which is owned by Amazon.
Whole Foods Workers in Philadelphia Vote to Form Chain’s First Union
The union win comes as Amazon, which owns the grocery chain, is also fighting labor organizing in its warehouse and delivery businesses.

I know there’s a lot right now. But folks need to understand what this means.

A suspension this long would mean people living with HIV lose their medicine for months. People around the world lose their PrEP for months, putting millions at risk of getting HIV. Drug-resistant strains could emerge.

We don't see Vampires anymore because, with the advent of indoor plumbing, there are hidden networks of running water everywhere that they can't cross. They now seek refuge among the Amish.

You ever think that maybe the reason mobs in Minecraft don't spawn in lit areas is because they're really sensitive to light pollution?

Just a reminder that Amazon workers are striking tomorrow through Monday, and that none of the “deals” are good enough to justify crossing the picket line.

If someone who's going to be the most powerful trans woman in the nation thinks trans (read human) rights don't count as real issues, then where are we?

One of my students chose Ursula K. Le Guin's story "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" for discussion today. It always awes me that stories like this exist, and so many people still don't understand why this country needs radical change.

While it might not be the Golden Age of Saturn, there's something so compelling about being taken to an Italy lush with forests and wolves. Our discussion of human impacts too often starts with the industrial revolution; it's easy to forget just how early we began to change our landscapes. #booksky
