I say things and I write stuff. EFF 12. Love is love. Shutting the hell up is ALWAYS a fine, free, and fanciable pastime. Standing the hell up is ... MIGHTY.

the intensity of my anger at those who would criminalize the homeless — a population literally created by the greed and callousness of the ruling class — is very hard to contain. it was you who dismantled the safety net. if you don’t like the results, put it back

I feel like we need to form a League of Relatively Normal People, and our agenda should be things like:
--Canada's cool, leave them be
--Lot of smart people at universities, that's a plus
--We're scared of getting cancer, so let's research it
--Fewer floods and wildfires would be nice

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?
Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

Just finished this book last night. Wow. What a stunner! Very tough to read at times, especially when so much of our country seems to want to go back to those times, but so worth it. Off to buy some more @tananarivedue.bsky.social books!

Welp, saw a Cybertruck (er, Reich-Truck?) for the first time in maybe a month. It was lumbering-wobbling from a parking spot at a Dunkin. It's hideous, looks awkward AF to drive when needing to check multiple angles quickly, and ... well. Who wants to un-stealth as ... ahem ... even if they are? 🤨

If you have heard about the new strain of #H5N1 #Birdflu spilling into cattle and do not understand what it means, I suggest reading this excellent report from the US department of agriculture. I have summarized key point below

Today the @nytimes.com sought to whitewash its central role in laundering anti-trans falsehoods and turbocharging anti-trans attacks nationwide. My reporting showed that editorial leadership was aware of this depravity which is why this disingenuous piece can’t erase the scale of what they’ve done.

I'm tired of being anxious-depressed because I'm trying to do/be better. Tired of my hopes failing. Quietly, but no less devastating for that. I'm tired of being slapped in the face and stabbed in the heart for my better, and sincere intentions and efforts. Of all my tries ending with being shit on.

We're all collectively in a societal bystander effect as we watch Elon Musk and Trump collapse the United States and no one is doing anything about it. Everyone just expects someone else to do something.
Everyone is that someone now. The only offramp now is physical mass mobilization in DC.
