We live a life of activism because that's the only way we stay alive
Offer us help whenever you can
We know so fucking much, it might blow your mind
Stop ignoring us and WEAR A FUCKING MASK

And there's no one weird trick to activism. Everyone and anyone can be an activist. Find something you're good at that helps people survive this, do it over and over again, and presto! you're an activist now.
It really is that simple. You don't have to do every activism. Just do what you can.

We here are on the far end of the bell curve in terms of political awareness and ideological commitment and its easy to assume that people who voted differently are the same in the opposite direction
When *most* people are in fact clueless and poorly informed and operating on vibes

Do you understand what ideological censorship is, now?
To destroy the results of scientific research, *because it contains the Wrong Words*
A Spanish Inquisition joke, but it’s not funny.

TikTok has an entire 🧪 feed!
SUCH big feels watching:
- dismissal of TikTok as a silly dance app
- dismissal of STEM creators as non #SciComm (will never forget the conference when someone called non-academics "amateurs")
- friends, who reach millions, reconfigure their businesses to stay afloat

The TikTok ban permanently reshapes the ideological tilt of the online creator landscape towards the right. Cheering for it in any way is extremely shortsighted www.usermag.co/p/the-great-...
The Great Creator Reset
The TikTok ban isn't just a platform reconfiguration, it will reshape the political leaning of the creator economy and permanently alter whose voices get heard online.

You just described landlords
This implies that robbery is a job if you don’t get caught.
I’m not trying to argue, I agree with you. I just found that funny.

After today I decided I never again want to waste my time arguing with cis gays about why supporting Harry Potter and the Queen of the TERFs is harmful, so I wrote a blog summarizing the whole thing. Please do share it widely instead of wasting yours.
So someone told you supporting Harry Potter is anti-trans
